If you’re a fan of thrifting or just love finding a good bargain, then you may already be familiar with Goodwill. Goodwill is a nonprofit organization that operates thrift stores all over the country, offering a wide range of secondhand clothing, furniture, household items, and more. For many, thrifting at Goodwill has become a popular pastime and a way to score unique and affordable goods. However, what you may not realize is that you can also make a profit by reselling some of the good stuff you find at Goodwill on eBay.
The key to successfully reselling thrifted items on eBay is to carefully select high-quality, in-demand, or unique items. Goodwill stores often receive a variety of donations, including vintage clothing, collectibles, designer goods, and other valuable items. By taking the time to sift through the racks and shelves, you can uncover hidden gems that have the potential to fetch a good price on eBay.
One of the most popular items to look for at Goodwill is vintage clothing. Many thrift stores receive a steady supply of vintage pieces, including branded clothes, 80s and 90s fashion, and one-of-a-kind items that are highly sought after by fashion enthusiasts. Keep an eye out for well-preserved vintage pieces, unique patterns, and recognizable brands to add to your eBay inventory.
In addition to clothing, Goodwill is also a great place to find valuable household items and collectibles. From antique furniture and home decor to vintage toys and rare books, Goodwill is a treasure trove of items that can attract buyers on eBay. Items that are in good condition, have unique features, or are hard to come by in stores could fetch a good price when resold online.
Once you’ve scored some good finds at Goodwill, the next step is to list them on eBay. When creating your listings, be sure to provide detailed descriptions, high-quality photos, and accurate measurements or specifications. This will help potential buyers make informed purchasing decisions and increase your chances of making a sale. Additionally, it’s important to research and set competitive prices for your items to attract buyers and maximize your profits.
Before heading to Goodwill with the sole intent of finding items to resell, keep in mind that thrifting is a hit-or-miss endeavor. You won’t always find valuable items, and it might take some time and effort to uncover the good stuff. However, if you enjoy the thrill of the hunt and have a passion for secondhand finds, then thrifting and reselling on eBay can be a lucrative and rewarding venture.
In conclusion, Goodwill is not just a place to score affordable goods for personal use, but it can also be a source of inventory for reselling on eBay. By carefully selecting high-quality, in-demand, or unique items and creating attractive listings, you can turn your thrifted finds into a profitable side hustle. So next time you visit Goodwill, keep an eye out for the good stuff and consider giving reselling on eBay a try. Who knows, you might just turn your thrifted finds into a thriving business.

Thanks for the great content today. I have to say as a reseller I don’t necessarily think your ornament by with the 25 items was a great use of your time for the return on your investment. Having removed thousands of labels that’s a bit of a tedious process to only make say $30-$40 profit on that purchase. Some feedback from another reseller but who am I
Hi Wick. I have a question. Is there anyway to figure out the brand of a knife block set if it's unbranded or brand is missing. I know it's a quality block. It's very heavy, has built in sharpener, stainless steel face, 13 slots and dark wood. The only one I found that's match the best is Melissa Sharpening Knife Block set. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope you are having a great 4th quarter because I'm loving it. Thanks
Sounds like you know what's a good flip, but for someone just getting into it do you suggest scanning items on an Ebay app?
Hi, Wick. I always enjoy your videos. I'm pretty sure we're about the same age, as I've discerned from the items you collect and are passionate about. I collect and resell as well. Thanks for sharing great content with us. Happy holidays, and good luck in this 4th quarter. -Jayme
Man, you find great stuff…most of the time I find electronics scratched up…shoes to dirty….I got some nike flytrap 3s…the bottom where that yellow clear look…impossible to get clean and the blue dye was under the flaps run into the white…I scrubbed never could get them clean. The comps were good, but I can't risk a return…paid 7 bucks…be a summer yard sale item
Ebay posting items for sale next to an anti-semitic article published by Congress lady Tlaib. Anti-semitic, feeling or showing hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a cultural, is a crime in the United States.
On eBay…
Do you ship outside USA,?
Do you accept offers?
Do you pay for promoted listings if so how much?
Thanks
So many treasures!!
Good job
Your Goodwill is really nice and neat. You should see the Goodwill stores around my area… looks like a tornado blew through them, LOL.
