When evaluating thrifted items for resale value, key indicators include brand recognition (designer labels like Free People, Lacoste, and Rachel Zoe), quality construction cues (oversized tags, crisp seams, no pilling), current color trends (red being the new pink), and fabric quality (linen, embroidered details), which together determine profit potential from low-cost finds.

I Found Thrift Gold for $2… These Flips Are INSANE| #sourcedinsocal | #thrifthaulAdded:
[laughter] >> Welcome back, [music] my thrifty friends. Let's get this party started.
This is free people, you know, who we know and love. In my experience, [music] the two things that do best from free people are outerwear and the dresses that are like the [music] long maxi with the embroidery, with the lace, with that kind of stuff.
Those two, like those are home runs. And so, this falls into the home run category. I'm expecting around $100 for this. This is Lauren [music] Ralph Lauren, which isn't like anything the most amazing, but if I send this to ThredUp, [music] and I will, the last one I sold, my payout after I got paid back, which is quite a process, my profit [music] was $89 for the dress. So, for two bucks, I'm going to put this, fold it nicely, put it in a box, and send it away. And in a couple months from now, it's going to give me a payout of $89. How crazy is that?
Crazy. Okay, this one, super cute.
You know Lacoste, right? You got to know Lacoste. We all know Lacoste. So, this is really cute.
Yeah, there's a stain, but I call myself the stain queen, so I am confident in myself. I believe in myself. I'm going to stain treat this, and when I'm ready to shoot it, [music] it's going to be good as new. I'm sure of it, okay? I looked this this cutie up. [music] This is kind of like a um like a I don't know, like a holiday or like a fair isle kind of >> [music] >> vibe happening. This is Hollister, and it's a size medium, and the comps are pretty good on it around the $40 range.
Okay, so this [music] this is a cool Okay, let me tell you first. This is a very cool one. [music] With that said, okay.
So, with that said, this is a Bud Light hoodie, but the detailing is [music] so cool.
So, it's got this little patch on the side that's like [music] embroidered.
And then and this is just everything. [music] And then Look at how cool the back is.
Do you think it's as cool as I do? I don't know. I think it's really really cool. So, because I think it's so cool, I'm putting this aside for somebody to get his opinion on. I think he's going to [music] love it, but stay tuned and I will let you know after I gift it to him.
These two came obviously from the same yard sale. They're both the same brand and they [music] are very beautifully made. So, if I'm just going to take a second and show you like you're like beautifully made, [music] what is that?
Let me Just let me just school you for a sec, okay?
So, here's the brand. So, we're going to start [music] with the with the the tag.
So, the tag is already telling me somebody spent money [music] on this tag. This isn't printed off on Temu. It has like it's like a little scratchy for >> [music] >> 2 weeks, you know, little size tag weird thing. This is a beautiful tag. It's oversized and [music] when anything is hung like these corners, when anything is [music] hung this style, make sure you pay attention, then this is very high-end. This is designer and this is in the luxury category. So, [music] we already have all these clues.
We're putting them together. So, now I'm looking at just the item itself and it's like, "Oh my gosh, it's cute and the two prints together [music] very Versace. I know it's not, but it is very it's giving Versace for [music] sure to me.
And okay, so now we're going to I'm going to deconstruct it just a tiny bit to show you a little bit more of the detail or rather the lack of detail. So if you're looking here along the seam, you see none of that zigzaggy [music] threads coming loose, any of that happening here. It's nice and [music] crisp and just yeah, it's very nice and it's just yeah, [music] the tailoring. I think that's what I'm trying to get to. The tailoring is very [music] well done. Like bravo. For a girl that understands fashion and sees beautiful [music] things every day, this is probably one of the nicest things I've ever [music] picked up as far as my opinion on what is quality and what is beautifully made.
Take that for [music] whatever that is.
I don't know, but now I'm like even more like look at the look at the bow. Like stop it, right? Oh my gosh, that one's [music] cute. Okay.
Speaking of cute, he's over [music] here working on the floor, but he knows who he is.
Yeah.
So this is a keeper.
So if you don't know, this is the date [music] farm that's local to Coachella Valley.
This is called Shields Date Farm.
And if you go to Shields Date Farm, it's a definitely two things.
You have to go to Shields Date Farm.
And then [music] when you're at Shields Date Farm, when you're there, do one or two things. One, go in through like the store, It's [music] like the gift shop.
Go in there, order a shake, and then look around while they're making your shake.
>> [music] >> And then by the time you're done with that, your shake will be made, and you will be enjoying, [music] in my opinion, the world's best shake. And I'm going to say it, it's a date shake, and you're going to be [music] like, "Uh." But it's not.
I need you to keep an open mind, okay?
So, the open-minded part is it doesn't taste like [music] dates. It literally, to me, the best way I could describe it is it tastes like caramel and chocolate fused together and made a flavor. [music] To me, that's what it tastes like. And so, I slurp it up. I can't [music] get enough.
I truly can't get enough. So, the solution to that is like once [music] or twice a year, because otherwise, it could be part of my daily daily routine.
That's how good it is. [music] And it's not cheap. It's like $13 for a shake or something, right? Oh, 11. Okay. [music] So, it I guess that's the going rate, right?
For something like really good and like >> [music] >> hand What did they call it?
Hand-stirred. Oh, this is so cute. Look at this.
Rachel Zoe icon. This is a pant suit by the one and only Rachel Zoe, [music] and I have so much respect for her, so it's so nice to have a piece of hers that I will be reselling this summer [music] and would look amazing with your summer tan. Tell me I'm not right.
Okay.
This is Cupcakes and Cashmere.
And on its own, it's not that like desirable of a piece.
It's a really great brand, very high-end, expensive. [music] And the resale usually not like the best, but this one because [music] it's just so current and the kind of the colors and all the everything, truly [music] everything about it, I'm going to list it high. So, I'm honestly, I'm probably going to list it over $70. So, [music] we like that, don't we?
And then, look what else we found.
And look, even the color, like are you kidding me with this like oxblood not oxblood oxblood, oxblood [music] which is kind of giving oxblood. If you If you are into style, you maybe are getting the [music] link that I'm trying to share there. So, anyways, Shields Day Garden and my [music] guy and I are going to be the cutest couple in town.
I'm telling you what.
>> [music] >> We're going to wear them together, and people are going to like stop us and like probably want our picture.
It's going to be so cute, right? Right.
So, this is Maeve [music] by Anthropologie. I cannot say that this is new, but it has the hang [music] tag.
And it has the new feel, like it like it's been in the store and hasn't been on a body yet. So, >> [music] >> I won't list it that way, but whoever gets this gets basically a brand new [music] item, which is pretty cool.
These These were surprising.
Pull these out.
So, the color, so again with the trends, the color right now is red, if you didn't know, [music] and it's going to be red and it's going to stay red as red Okay.
I can't believe I'm saying this [music] and it makes sense. Red is the new pink.
Okay?
So, I I don't know what to tell you.
>> [music] >> But, it is, but it's the So, these are red, and these are like a wide-leg, wide corduroy, [music] flat-front, vintage trouser, and This is the designer, which is a very [music] luxury designer of the time. And when you buy a beautiful pair of [music] pants like this, this is what the inside looks like. Very different from the pants you get at the mall. [music] So, I'm hoping you're seeing all those differences right there because that [music] is what tells me whether or not something is worth a lot.
So, the answer to that is yes, these are worth a lot.
And [music] because they are red, I'm going I'm going I'm going over I'm going to list for literally over $100. Let's see what happens.
[music] I could definitely see selling it for that.
Um these are cute. These are just Aeropostale, but how cute are they?
[music] So, they're like a cargo wide leg destroyed straight hem.
That's like the back of it.
Those are really cute. [music] Those will definitely get more than $30.
This little linen [music] girl I grabbed for two reasons. One because she's linen, and two because she's like this [music] orangey summery color. So, I'm going to want to get that listed like right away. And I'm I'm guessing it'll [music] sell around the $40 mark. Lucky enough to find this beauty. Look at it, so Y2K.
Cocktail homecoming like and Marilyn Monroe, all of that into one. Oh, yeah.
So, I unfortunately probably won't be going homecoming this year.
So, I will be listing it, and somebody's going to look the most precious in it.
[music] So, good for you. I'll try not to gouge you too much on the price, girl. Okay.
>> [laughter] [gasps] >> Here's a really cool sweatshirt. [music] I just Let's Let's appreciate the graphic for a second. Isn't that the cutest?
Okay, here's the front.
And then So, this has [music] no pilling on the inside, so that is giving me um the idea that it's probably not been worn before, most likely not been worn before.
There is zero pilling on the inside.
[music] That's what we call those little areas that come together that make your comfies not [music] feel so comfy, right? So, how much is this worth? It's so dang cute. Thank you so much. Thank you for stopping by. Please subscribe, [music] like, and share. It would mean so much to me. Thank you.
