Yes, I used Kate Upton as clickbait, but it's actually relevant.
I don't thrift much these days since I prioritize recycling for profit, but I still do occasionally when in the mood or passing by a few stores.
To show people how there's overlooked value sitting in thrift stores, which I used to make a killing off of before crypto, here are 8 examples that caught my eye when looking through my picture files.
Note: I may have posted on ~2 of these over the last two years, but it was a long time ago, so forgive me...
Buy Low-Sell High Thrift Store Flips:
3 sealed Sports Illustrated swimsuit DVDs bought for $2.18 each, sold for $99, $98, and $95.
3 sealed Sports Illustrated swimsuit DVDs bought for $2.18 each, sold for $45, $45, and $42.
Doing the math on the 6 DVD units above, that's $13.08 spent for $424. Layup.
Culinary software bought for $1.08, sold for $200.
Wilson tennis racquet bought for $13.61, sold for $140.
Another Wilson tennis racquet bought for $3.28, sold for $95.
New discontinued Lego set bought for $3.27, sold for $84.
Sony microcassette player bought for $3.26, sold for $64.50.
SnowShark mono-ski bought for $27.21, sold for $435. You learn something new every day...
Revenue is before fees and shipping.
Tip: Certain tennis racquets and Sony microcassette recorders are good niches.
Morale of the story: if you're not happy with your income, or having a hard time making ends meet, thrift stores are a good way to supplement. Effort = results.
Heck, even a few thrifting flips can be swapped for crypto as an investment.
I hope this gave you some ideas and inspiration. Ask any questions below.
