Successful thrift store reselling requires understanding that items with tags, brand names, or collectible value can be purchased for significantly less than their resale potential, and careful inspection for damage is essential before purchasing for resale.

Unexpected Wins on the Thrift Finding Things to Resell on eBayAdded:
Hey guys, Tori here. That's Janelle. We are op shopping into Womba. Sunny day, gray skies, we're loving it. We're going to start off in Lifeline and we're going to hit a few here and I am looking forward to seeing what Janelle picks up.
So, come on. We'll play the intro music and we're going to do some bloody hop shopping.
>> Tori here. Jalong Flippy. Hey guys, Tori. Jalong Flipper here.
>> Jalong Flipper. Me Tori.
>> Tori here. Jong Flooper. Flip.
>> I'm Tori. Jong Flooper.
>> Tori here.
>> Tori here. How you doing?
>> Hi guys. I'm going to check this one out. This is a fairy tale. It's a manga series. Thank you so very much, mate.
That's awesome. Well, let's have a look at it then.
>> Awesome.
Okay, that looks pretty cool. Going to pop it in quickly. Uh just see if I can uh for five bucks, is it worth me getting it?
>> All right, legends. Have you guys seen it? Says Seager on here. I'm busy looking it up. Um, but pop in the comments if you know who this is. I'm about to see if it's worth getting. It's five bucks. Um, it's Seagga. So, we'll we'll do a little checky check.
All right, guys. That looks like it's worth getting. Um, there's little Disney plush here, but ah, I don't know about this one. Oh, are you looking at my nose?
Right. So, these are Disney baby wash mitts. So, I had to wash the Bubba. Um, one's four, one is three. I showed you them in the wrong price order, but either way around. Um, I don't know that I'm going to pick them up, but if you're seeing them out in a band, you're just wanting something to flip. I did check.
They are sold comp. You can basically turn that into about 25 to 28 bucks.
They both got tags on them. So, stuff like that. Look out for it. Always look in the craft sections. All right, guys.
So yeah, that was the lifeline in in the store there that I was showing you. This is their bookshop. And this is one of the misleading things when you look up oppos.
The way the lifelines have them listed, they're separate buildings. Even though they're the same, it can be really, really confusing sometimes. But this bookshop is absolutely beautiful.
These have um got my interest. I've never heard of that before. So I'm going to look them up and uh see what we can do. Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter whether I want to know about them or not. I asked for them a bit cheaper because they're there's heaps of them.
As you can see, I think I showed the comp. They sell for about seven bucks each. If I get them for 50 cents each and then I could make them into a bundle, it would be worth doing. But spending a bit more than that, not really worth it. But yeah, check it out.
So cool. Love the stuff in here. It's so well laid out.
Oh, guys. So, just the two items here.
Janelle got some uh some bookie books to make bundles. And as you guys know, I just sold um 10 of the Woof Girl books.
I think it was for 55 bucks.
>> There's two.
>> And yeah, you've got two of them.
>> Well, I already have uh four at home.
>> Yeah.
>> One, two, three, and four at home.
>> Okay.
>> So, I'm getting there.
>> Getting there. Love it. On to the next one. I know this may seem boring to you guys. I have never heard of that brand of supermarket. It must be an up here thing, but >> it's a thing.
>> Just a Tomba thing.
>> I'm pretty sure.
>> Tea bar for life. Yo, so the place we're going to now is Hope Horizons.
I think Janelle's trying to get to the good stuff before me. I'd hip and shoulder, but that wouldn't be nice.
>> I got to walk fast just so you don't get all the good stuff.
>> All right. Here we are.
>> Good morning. How are you?
>> Good day. How are you?
>> Good. Good. Good. Nice bit of rain.
Never hurt anyone.
>> All right, legends.
>> Sorry.
>> All right, legends. So, we got one book, two into 20. So, it's a decent purchase.
Only four on eBay right now. I didn't get anything.
That's all right. Um, that's a nice little op shop. Um, go and check it out if you're nearby.
Yeah. Very, very small though.
>> Very small.
>> Um, so, but you could always go to Drakes and like just buy food.
>> All right, legends. So, I haven't been to this one either. It's called the drug arm op shop. They got the donation bins here, which is a bit unusual for me. But I think down in Victoria, they're not allowed to have them now. Um, so yeah, we'll check it out.
>> And then go in and it's like a little >> little painting.
>> Oh wow.
>> Good day. How are you?
I'm carrying these just in case. I saw a couple there. They might be from the Hot Wheels Pop Culture.
>> It's a bit hefty.
>> All right. I do think though Alli would really like this. There you go. Tory had a Snoop Dog.
>> Oh, yeah. 80 bucks.
>> Yeah, but >> it's still cool.
>> It's cool, isn't it?
>> Yeah, >> that is very cool.
>> Death Row Records. It might be worth something. I have no idea.
>> Yeah, it's probably worth 80 bucks.
>> It could be.
>> Okay, so they're advertising. I I want to go to it. I think it's this weekend.
There's a witches market. Witches market.
Oh, did you hear that?
>> Okay, so Janetta's brought up a um a Snoop Dogg jersey. They had 80 bucks on it.
You get it for 35 online and they said it was vintage. Not their fault. They wouldn't bloody know, but um Snoop Dogg only bought Death Row Records a couple of years ago, so there's no way in hell it is a vintage. Hang on. Toys.
The prices here are pretty cooked.
They're $4. Like, you know how um a lot of these places they bag up a lot of toys and they'll put five or six bucks on. So, some of these like this is this is a Hot Wheels thing and I know what it is, but um it's incomplete. It's missing tons of stuff and it's eight bucks for the one toy.
Sorry, I don't get it.
Don't know what that is. It's not Lego.
Maybe the people putting the prices on are on drugs.
$18.
I'll show you the rest of the shop. Um, but yeah, so far so far the looking at some of the basic prices, you got an RM Williams section. Get out of 10. Wait a second.
$15 Wrangler jeans.
Scotch and soda. I mean, if you're buying them for yourself, they're lovely.
Not for me, though. Just give me the stuff I can flip for fat cash, yo. Legends. I didn't get anything from the drug place cuz I think they may have been >> on drugs.
>> Christ when they were on drugs.
>> When they're on drugs. We're at the RSPCA. You guys don't know this, but Ally and I were here yesterday. Alli got tons of broken jewelry, which was fantastic. But uh yeah, let's see what's left when you've already been here only a few hours ago. All right, legends. As you know, I was here yesterday, so I'm just mainly looking around. But check this out. It's 20 bucks. It's cool as I've always wanted one of these. Um, I just don't know where in the house we'd put it. The house isn't that big and I don't want to put it in my Lego room cuz that's for Lego. That looks cool as well. I just love the color.
Jalong flipper.
All right, guys. So, hope hopefully Janelle's cutting sick. Yesterday in the toy section, I um got a couple little Transformers toys. They look like McDonald's promo. There were two sets. I got one for me, one to sell. They won't go for much, but they look cool. Um, yeah, Ellie got heaps of jewelry, so I can't Well, I jokingly went up to the counter then and said to the team, "Hey guys, going to bust the jewelry." This shop is awesome. It is awesome.
As with anything, as and you guys will see in a later video, I think I bought a hoop of CDs from here, and I was trying to show you guys how you could turn CDs into money. And when I bought them, all the CDs here are sealed. and I got like 39 CDs and um spoiler alert, there were tons of them scratched to the point they wouldn't play. So, lesson learned for me from from now on and I'm just going to take the sticky tape off and double check because whilst they weren't expensive at all and they gave me a riper deal, it's the point that some of you may be buying things and really wanting to be able to flip that thing and you can't afford for anything to be busted. So, yeah, it was a big lesson learned, but I'll let the guys know here. Hey, you're sealing CDs that are buggered. And um yeah, it's but they're so awesome. It was just like, yep, okay, sorry about that. I didn't I didn't ask for my money back cuz I got such a good deal on the CDs. But uh like this place is really open to feedback and um I think that we need to give people feedback cuz that's the only way they improve. And so much of the stuff here is just awesome. Anyhow, like the shoes 50% off. I'm about to go and check them out though. We have got a lot of shoes to list, but people are buying shoes at the moment secondhand because a lot of them are in really good condition and times are a little bit tough at the moment. So, I'm going to go and check out the shoes right now. Yeah, she she's cleaned up. You may as well tell them what it is.
>> Well, it's not what you thought it was.
>> No. No. I said, "Was it a bong?"
>> No. Um, so >> so what's it say?
>> It's an invalid feeder cup.
>> Get out of town.
>> So, it says 75 to $90. That's just on a quick search, a Google search.
>> See guys, and that that is proof positive that um we we should keep looking. Is there any? May I take it?
>> Yeah, I don't think there's any markings.
>> No markings, but >> Oh, it's underneath the sticker, I think.
>> Uh yes, yes, yes. Yep. So, three bucks into 70. I'm going to carefully hand that back over. Awesome.
>> Hopefully.
>> There you go, guys. Keep your eyes open.
>> And the other thing, just for fun, >> this one, yes, is because I like little jugs and I put plants in them. Oh, cute.
Okay.
>> And I thought that was really cute.
>> Yeah, it is. It's sweet. Well done. Well done.
>> So, that was for me.
>> That's cute, too.
>> I'm going to have to check this one carefully, guys, but it may be a go.
It's a little bit on the small side, but it's $6. That's a Scottish brand Barry.
Um, it's a pure wool jumper, and I haven't found the exact jumper, but uh the comps on that brand are fan freakingastic.
All right, guys. So, this is an Anset woolen jumper. It's $6. Look, typically they go for this isn't like the jumper I just showed you before. Um, but it is still pure wool. Uh, it's winter and uh it's but more importantly, it's a 3XL, so to get that slightly larger size is a is a bonus. And I think I'll be able to turn that into maybe 40 bucks for the jumper. It's in really good condition. I might even get it for me. I don't know.
But I don't know if the camera's picking up. That's not See all the different colors just subtly through it.
>> I quite like it. It's cool. All right, guys. So, as always, this op shop, it just keeps on giving. I love it. I wasn't looking at the camera then. Hi.
The the green light. Sorry. The green light. Uh spent 24 bucks. Um when that stuff h goes through, Jan's got another sale. Um I heard her ching. Um yeah, if that stuff all goes through, I think for that $24, we'll see close to 300. At least I'm hoping so. Yeah, I should have my phone the other way cuz I keep looking in the wrong direction. Looking in the wrong direction. So guys, we're at uh Vinnie's Ruffin and on a personal update cuz I tell you guys everything.
So I put that big IKEA order in only to have IKEA tell me that they don't have most of the stuff. So click and collect maybe revisiting stuff. I just want my house. I just want my furniture. I just want things. And um Janelle just wants everything to resell.
Yeah.
Check these out. So, I think they are just like, yeah, you freeze them and put the drink in there. They're cool. Slush puppy.
So, guys, I got um four coffee mug mugs for two bucks. I've got uh some mugs there, including a Green Lantern one.
Should have shown you. It's draped over my arm. It's hard to hard to do everything, but um hopefully hang on.
Let's see. Hopefully I don't break stuff. I like that one. It's a Scrabble Scrabble mug. Um, and just a trolled doll one from 2016.
This one's really cool. I wish I wish the whole set was here, but it's Madam Madam Butterfly.
I have to give him a wash.
And then you got Green Lanterns like an embossed cup from Movie World. But yeah, pretty cool.
50 cents a mug. Hopefully into a little bit more. All right, guys. So, real talk. I was looking at these basically, just to let you know, if you're in the OPPO, I'm not going to take these with me, but that's five bucks. Uh there's comps for $25. So, if if for you, if that's acceptable, they're they're worth getting. The roses uh tins, they they do resell. I'm just not sure I want to do tins like that at the moment for $5.
This is more about just having a bit of fun. But I'll always point out to you guys if I see things that, you know, you may not have thought of. So, if you if you like that sort of that sort of stuff, type hell yeah in the comments.
Plus, it makes me laugh if you do it.
Thanks.
>> It's lunchtime, guys. And um I clearly won.
>> Oh, you did.
>> Definitely. Food envy.
>> All right, guys. I've lunched. Um, and yes, my lunch was the better of the two.
So, I think I've brought you guys here before. I don't know. Allie and I have been here, but the Collectibles boutique op shop. We may be going in the wrong way. I don't know. I'm used to going in Raven Street. Um, but if we get kicked out, then we'll just have to walk around the block.
>> Wow. That was on the main road, though.
>> I know. That's not why this.
>> All right, guys. I just realized that um I have shown you through here before, but I'm going to do it again.
>> Lots of this stuff.
>> There you go. Complete lap. That's cute.
I didn't get anything. All right, guys.
The day progresses. Um, so we're in Ruffen Street and uh over there. I've brought you here before. Save the children. Janelle's sorting herself out with the car. Um, did a burnout. Not really. And uh, yeah, hopefully we can find some cool stuff in there. They got some pretty good deals on there. Uh, clothing this week. I'm getting something that should enable me to do clothing photography a bit quicker. So, it's nothing fancy I'll show. It's just a it's a um basically a clothes rack for IKEA um when I eventually get my IKEA order. So, uh yeah, stay tuned. That means I'm going to be looking at clothing a little bit more and just seeing what I can find. And I nearly tripped over a concrete thing on the ground.
>> Remember last time I was in here, guys, that was there and I said it would still be there. Well, guess what? It's still there.
>> Yeah, >> the rains are coming. The wind Oh god, the rain has come. You can't see it probably, but they had some rain. Had some rain. All right.
Now, I was yelling that and um I was by myself. Poor lady who works here gave me a look. But yeah, it's barking down outside. Um I'm hoping that Janelle knows that I expect curbside pickup and an umbrella.
All right, guys. Saw this odd looking little character. It's a Let's van plushy. Um, it's got they got two bucks on it here and it looks like I could get about $ 35 to $40 for it. So, fingers crossed I'm going to pick that one up.
All right, guys. Been on the hunt now for 6 and 1/2 hours. Had a nice lunch, though. Better better lunch than Janelle. Um, we're going to this place called Pennywise. It's a porn broker and secondhand I'll just Sorry, I'll show you. secondhand the green thing.
Secondhand deal. I was actually I got dominoes from the place next door the other night. I didn't realize that uh this was the joint. So I don't know what's going to be in here. Um it's been an absolutely lovely day and I've had the best chauffeer. Thank you so very much. And um so let's just see what's in here.
>> I'm good at being Uber apparently.
>> Yes. Oppo Uber.
>> Yes. the oppo Uber business. Well, Hadzy and I were talking about um grabbing a bus and taking people up shopping around Brizzy.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> I don't want to do that drive, though.
>> All right, guys. Let's see what's in there.
>> To do it just into Wilma, >> correct? Absolutely.
>> All right, guys. Check it out.
>> The weather.
>> Lots of bits and pieces here.
>> Oh, you're a Victorian. You probably like VB.
>> Um that's Janelle saying I'd like VB. I don't. Um, >> don't tell me you're like 40 >> lots of stuff here.
>> No, I I do like that.
>> It's worse.
>> No, it's not, guys. It's fine. Um, I do like I think it's stone and wood. That's a nice beer. More expensive, though.
Some of the prices here aren't too bad, guys. I mean, for older console stuff. I don't know. You know, I've seen some another YouTuber at a market buy of Nintendo Switch games that weren't really flippable, but um yeah, I'd have to look through them all.
I'm just basically showing you the shop.
Holy crumbles.
>> This place looks really good.
>> $2.95.
Yeah. Okay. depending on the title. Some of these actually have a good chance.
So, you can see there's lots of different things here, that's for sure.
Variety of prices. I haven't even tried to uh ask if there's any deals yet. This looks interesting to me. One of the sides of the slip cases broken. Um but yeah, we we'll find out. So, just looks awesome, though. I might be coming back to this place a bit just to see what they're getting. Always something interesting in a horn broker's shop. But hopefully we can do some deals, too.
Check his head. I've never heard of it before. But Ninja Turtles and He-Man, that's amazing.
That's not But that is all right, legend. So, we're able to get a deal done on this. Um, I ended up getting it for 80 bucks. I think that'll go quite well. This came down to 35 bucks. So, not as big, but that is for me. And, um, this one came down to $15. And hopefully I get a hundred for it. I will be back at this joint. Got on your penny wise, your dancing clown. All right, guys.
Going to finish off the day. Um, I've just grabbed something for me and Ally.
And well, I was in there at the butchers. Isn't that how you finish up shopping? In any case, hope you enjoyed the day. Janelle, you're not seeing this part cuz you're in there shopping and buying stuff.
Mate, you're a legend. It's such a pleasure to spend the whole day with you. Had a lot of fun. We'll be doing it again. Um, guys, if you have fun watching these and you're learning something, I'll do the YouTuber thing.
Think about becoming a channel member.
It really does help. Get early access to the videos. They're a lot of fun and I really do appreciate it. But if you're not in a position to do that, then just like the videos, subscribe to the channel, click the bell for notifications. And if you get enough points occasionally to hype them, please do it. It really helps. I'll see you guys. I'll see you what I'll see you guys on the next video. Thank you so very much. I'll catch you later.
