then there are times you think youve got a really cool item and it sits. i think more or less you have to be patient. thats really the thing. i also bought a cool NJ Devils vintage button up jacket for $25. didnt wear it much so listed it at 49.99..it sat for probably two months then bam, sold for my asking price.

take good pictures, be precise with the description. youll be surprised how well your listings do.
Very well said, especially on having stuff that sits. Ive been thrifting full time for a little over a year, and there's a lot of money in it. I'm able to help support my family and have a little extra play money for cards or whatever. Patience, IMO, is the main ingredient to success in thrifting! Enjoy seeing what you sell things for!
