Adventures in thrifting income from the pay per pound Goodwill - Day 4.
Well, it was a bit busier at the ol' Goodwill Outlet today.
Not only that, but half the bins were still filled with the same stuff I looked through yesterday! How am I going to get some profit going when I already took all the good stuff from half the store?
So I changed course and headed for the clothing bins. I normally don't bother to check the clothing bins. Not because there isn't profit, just because it is a lot more work to find stuff. Then once you find something, you have to look it all over 100%. You never know if there might be a hole, a stain, or some other defect that makes it a dud.
But I had to give it a chance today. I am glad I did.
Today is March 21st and it is Day 4. Let's see what I found this Wednesday.
Goodwill Outlet Income Experiment: Day 4
My haul for today. I am keeping the two Christmas cards, the pot cover, and the baking tray.
The pot lid is from the vintage Revereware. My mom always used the copper bottom Revereware when I was growing up. I have amassed my own pots and pans from Revereware through my thrifting. I still pick up the lids even though I have enough. You just never know when you might find another pot without a lid. Plus, those lids sell on eBay too.
The baking tray is one of those heavy duty ones. I have a couple, but they are a bit thinner and you have to use two hands for the heavier stuff. This one can handle the heavy stuff without bending. A little bit of vinegar and baking soda will have this looking good.
Lastly, just look at these cute Christmas cards. How could you pass them up for literally a penny each?
Hey guys, remember the Flowbee? I found one! Haha.
These are still good sellers on eBay. I bet quite a few moms are saving tons on haircuts with these things. No accessories, but a working and in good condition unit and power supply.
Sticking with the vacuum theme, I found this Dyson hardwood adapter. I should be able to grab about $10 in profit from it.
Anyone like The North Face? I hear people love the brand, but I haven't worn any of their stuff. This was a boys 'activewear' (sweat pants) pants with the tags still attached. The tags make everything better, now I can sell it as new.
When it comes to Levi jeans I know two things. One, if there is a big 'E' in LEvi then they are very old and worth a ton. The other thing is that people love the Carpenter style jeans.
I don't think Levi makes that style anymore. Lots of pockets and places to hang tools off of.
Due to the lack of new supply, any used pairs in good condition sell for a decent amount. These shorts were still very good.
Womens red leather pants anyone?
These are Pelle Studio, Wilsons Leather size 2 pants. A quick eBay check found them selling at a level that I should easily make a minimum of $10 profit.
SALES!
Yes, I had TWO sales today for a gross total of $34.98. Check them out.
The Santana Abraxas record and the Rapid Start Ballast unit (Which I was informed by

Not bad, I am around my 50% profit margin goal. Those fees and shipping costs sure take a large bite.
It always feels good to get some profit coming in.
As always, tomorrow is a new day and a new thrift!
