I understand if you're going even every couple weeks you aren't going to find much stuff. I'm just saying to go now because it is the yellow tag clearance event which are the lowest prices you are going to get on items so there is tons of room for profit. Not sure if you guys knew that or not.

Went into TJ Maxx this morning found a few decent items then went to Ross. They had most of their stuff marked nearly full retail was a waste of time.

Ross is least friendly for sure. If I had to go in order from best to worst it would probably be:

TJ Maxx
Marshalls
Burlington
Ross

But each area is definitely different. In my area Ross has been marking stuff massively down the last few weeks. About a month ago they also had official Adidas NHL Jerseys for $14.99 but I was only able to snag one. Other resellers like Hustler Hacks got like 10 of them. So if you hit Ross at the right time you can really hit.

The Yellow Tag event is legit! I believe they have it twice per year and I seem to always miss it. I'll try to hit it up this weekend.

Last time I went I found three G/Fore shirts for $20 each. I've sold one for $50 so far. Quick to list/ship and the people who are in the market for those shirts usually have money to burn and are good customers.

We had a few sales locally today. Bought a ton of small toys for 50 cents for a bag. Filled up 3 bags. Most will go to flea market for 50 cents each. Got a paid of Miss Me Jeans and 3 pair of BKE for 75 cents each. from that same sale.

Another sale bought a few more modern concert tees for 1.00 each should get 10 to 12 each

Last sale got a vintage pair of 80s Bongo Jeans for 1.00. should bring around 25 to 35.00

On top of that when I went in this morning to Wal-Mart to get some cash the card vendor was there restocking. So spent 600 there.

Made my first purchase from a thrift store in a long time yesterday. I mostly get my stuff at garage / estate sales. Bought three board games. War of the Ring, Zombiecide, and Prison Outbreak. Looks like all three do well on the secondary market.

Picked up a few items today. I should make about $150 profit. Found a 1998 Candy Land Pooh new and sealed for $4. And some Yoga dvd for older people from pbs new sealed that sells for like $40 for $4 and some cooking table griddle for like $10 can't find any comps but it was new and from Germany.
My favorite item: A 1999 N64 Pikachu duffel bag. Needs some tlc but they sell for like $45. I loved Pokémon as a kid

Picked up an ICP Hatchetman hoodie today for $4.00. Definitely bootleg, but sold within the first four hours of listing for $100.00.

Not a bad day. Paid roughly $20 for all this. A lot was free. All at garage sales. Includes 3 fly rods & reels, Indians Jones DVD set, two pair vintage XC ski boots, dominoes, metal bear sculpture, manfrotto tripod, brother label maker, and (not pictured) a Stanley thermos, and antique brass spittoon.

Give you an idea of the amount. There were 5 of us and we evenly divided it and it came to 620.00 for me.

Jesus Jones, I haven't seen a haul like that ever.

My best was way back in May when I found Mosaic basketball.

Was only one @ a target being stocked when Prizm FB first hit & all I got was 3 value packs.

Really interested in getting in on bot tech if anyone has access I'd love a PM...some of these guys are banking hundreds of blasters every restock.

Went in Goodwill today for the first time in a long time, now I remember why I don't go there. They had some brand new funko stuff that was from Target. Only issue is they are asking more than it costs at Target.

The Family Video in town is closing, they are selling everything including boxes of empty DVD and bluray cases. Anybody ever sold empty cases? These boxes are huge and they are charging $10 a box.

165 PS2 games with console and 12 controllers. No real big names when it comes to the games and a lot would sell in the 7-$15 range. Guy is wanting $250 for it, I offered $150. He wanted me to come up a little.

With no real big name games, how much would you be willing to spend on this? Or would you just walk away? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would go in for 200. Worse case for me is I sell the games for 3.00 each at the flea market they will sell pretty quick.

I sold a PS2 with 1 controller and 68 games with no boxes, mainly average games for $180 a few months ago just for reference. So there is probably some money still to be made there.

I really wish they didn’t write in metallic sharpie on the bottom of shoes (Goodwill is biggest offender). Most time I can get it off but this weeks color is blue and blue metallic is hard to get off. Did find these. Kind of cool. Can get about $30 in this condition

Also someone is slowly donating all their beachbody dvds. Don’t like to sell those on eBay due to Vero issues but they do well on Mercari so I picked up another one today
