Goodwill Bins Shop With Me for Resale 

Hi hurricane globes back in the 1980’s were used on coffee tables as centerpieces-turned on their side on a wooden base with wooden braces at each narrow section of the glass…inside the globe a flower arrangement. You’re so inventive and since I’m sure I’m much older than you I thought you might want to recreate that old throwback for your booth. Simple baby’s-breath might look pretty tucked inside (wood, glass and baby’s-breath, I can see it , I hope you can too, no matter how weak my description might be (lol) I love your work thanks for all the good ideas!! Have fun!!

You really found some treasures at the bins. Your prices are so reasonable in your booth and everything is so well displayed. That cream wire thing that you were a little confused as to what it is, I think, is actually a candle holder. You were holding it upside down. The bowl part is the base and the metal plate is for a candle, so it just needs a new colour and a candle on top👍

Like your windows on your garage door!

Your pricing is right on. People like to say “I paid less than $7.00/$5.00.” Makes them think they got a great deal. (At your booth they are getting a great deal.) Great video, love your channel.

Idea...blue goes with yellow really nice.😅🎉❤

Glad you are feeling better. Great finds!

Corey I love your booth! That big hutch is gorgeous. And what great finds - cannot wait to see the makeovers. Happy 2024 🎉 Hope you feel better soon! Take care.

I really like how you make your booth a shopping experience. It gives people ideas of how to decorate in their homes too 😊

Love the oil painting.. makes me wish that I lived close to your shop

I'm wild about the candle holder with the green plate added on...I can't wait to see that when it's done! And the copper fish thing is just too cool, seriously.

Awesome finds! You have a knack for finding great items and matching them up.

I admire you for not gauging your prices!

I love how you show your haul and give ideas of what you'll do with them. I enjoy your videos. You have such a great upbeat personality.

Just love the esthetic of your booth, and your displays. Your prices are so reasonable as well!🫶🏻

So many really beautiful items, and I love how you discuss your great staging ideas. I’m in NY….things are so expensive here, so your pricing seems amazing to me.

Country basket with rooster/ looks like an umbrella stand!!!!!

Love the green on the small plates.. perfect for spring and summer

I loved your video! Telling us how you would change these items for resale. This helps me to vision how I can make changes to good will purchases and make a profit!

You have a great eye for what sells and your tips on staging are absolutely correct. One thing you might try to sell glass is to actually put it in a black cabinet like the one that you have more moody things in. It really makes them pop. And the other thing is that table and black lamp that you showed are both beautiful, but I would separate them and put a brighter lamp on it. That is a really great way to use your furniture to stage your items to help them. Pop is to use the opposite colors if that makes sense. Otherwise, it looks really great!

I love the little fans I actually use one when I am finished with my makeup and after I mist my face with the setting spray I will take a fan and dry my face.

I’ve accumulated bags of fruit, olives, cherries and pot pourii to put in open containers or vases.. depending on the season so loved the basket with all of the vase fillers❤️

Hi Cory, All the goodwills around here (Ohio) is totally out of control with their pricing. You can go buy 90% of their stuff brand new for cheaper or a few cents more. And they never do bins. I won’t shop there anymore, I’ll go to shops like yours Instead! Love them shops. Lol It was so good to see you girl! Happy New Year to you and yours ❤🎉

I really love your channel. I am obsessed with thrifting and DIYs. I'm currently scoping out places that have vendor booths available. I'm nervous because I'm afraid no one will want my projects and vintage finds. But your channel is so inspiring. Thank you.

The rooster French can is really nice. Class!

The wire lamp shades make nice plant stands when placed upside-down.

Yes! I get tons of floral and baskets at Goodwill bins. So much cheaper. Also you can't tell if something is crystal if it pings. Thats an old wives tale. It has to have a certain percentage of lead in it to be crystal. Lots of thin regular old glass will ping.

I love those blue mugs. Lily mugs. Wow.

Really like the wicker large tray

Really liked it that you price things reasonable right now because life is expensive at this moment. And we still want nice things!

A teddy bear would look good on the little chair. Maybe put a scarf on the bear or doll.❤🎉😅

You really sell for good prices! You found some treasures.

Such great finds! Thanks for all your tips for making things more sellable. I didn't know that lemons sell in the spring. I'll look for them. I think the metal wicker thing is a candle stick that you're holding upside down. LOL I don't know about everyone else, but I rarely even hear the background noises that RU-vidrs apologize for. So, no worries.

Love your videos and you have inspired me!! I do crafts while watching your videos.

Happy Holidays Cory! Glad to see you! Hoping that the family is well and enjoying the holidays. ❤❤❤

very clever shopping, imagination, creativity. best of luck with your sales. You deserve to do well.

I really love your treasures. Can't wait to see what you do with them x

My friend took the bread box and put legs on it,painted it! She made it a roll top Desk for a child with a child chair. It turned out beautiful and sold it fast, try it .

I think the glass lamp tops will go nicely with the pewter plates that you plan to put on top of the silver metal candle holders.

Another informative video.

Okay now I'm on the hunt for those mugs...lol. Great finds. Wishing you n family A Happy New Year

Very inspiring. Love the staging

Great haul! I’m sure they will sale really fast in your booth. Thanks for sharing, Cory ❤ Happy New Year

You got some great stuff!! ❤

You are killing it! Keep it up!

Congrats on a successful venture

The bottle with wire on it has a coastal vibe😅🎉❤

I really like your staging ideas.

The accordion hanger is great for jewelry 😅🎉❤

I just found out there are two Goodwill bin stores in my state. I cant wait to go! You find such nice things. I have learned so much from you.

Very nice booth. Enjoyed shopping with you❤

great booth

I can see some hemp rope tied around the neck of that chicken wire bottle. Now you have me wanting to redo my stuff and check out my goodwill.

Lovely large basket/ you have good taste!

The candlesticks with the plates on them I would put one on my dresser for jewelry or hair clips.

Yes my first time watching and I really enjoyed it. You found some great things at the bens. I am from the Houston area, but I have not been to a lot of places. Not been to the bens, yet.

Just write spring on the chalkboard 😅🎉❤

I bought a similar wrought iron candle holder from Amazon few years ago. Mine is taller and has a glass hurricane style globe. In 1979-1980 my sister & I each bought a hurricane shade like the ones you showed at the end of your haul. They had glass candle holders in them like the ones you showed at the beginning of your shop tour.

Corey I watch another thrifter and she has really good luck getting the permanent markings off using Mr Clean Magic Erasers or acetone and a q tip. Thinking about the name on the truck.

You are sooo good at thrifting and staging Cory!! So glad your booth is doing so well! You always find the best stuff! Happy New Year to you and your family! 🥰🥰

I have never heard of a stair basket! 😊

Corey, you could put a nest in the top of the wire candle stick.

I call all of my old treasures, rescues, because I can’t stand the thought of losing history to the landfill..at least that’s how I justify it,to myself 😉

The gold shelf is beautiful. Too bad I'm in utah or I'd grab that.

How is your booth going? I think I need to get more smalls in mine so your thrifting ideas are fantastic! Great job cory!

You find great things at the bins! I’ve seen you wash artificial greenery and flowers to get the dust and dirt off. I do that, too! Did you know you can give a very light wash of spray paint over artificial flowers or greenery if you want to tone down the color or brighten it up?

I have chickens and wine in my kitchen.

I used to live near a bin store but I don’t now. I need to find one. I used to buy vintage clothing.

Large Hurricane Glass Candle Holder Shade They are about $12

Wow so many great finds! And your pricing is really nice and fair imo, a lot of the resellers around me really stick it you on the markups, especially the trendy things like those paintings. They would be $25-30 at least. How do clean your organic finds like baskets, cutting boards etc? I see cute baskets all the time but i avoid them because idk what may be living in them and idk how to disinfect without damaging them.

I use four-letter words! My favorite four-letter is FREE followed closely by USED & bringing up the rear, SALE. I NEVER, repeat NEVER, buy full retail or that horrible word that I don’t think anyone should ever use, NEW! LOL…not LOL!

Our Goodwill stores have just gotten SO expensive around here. I end up being really picky about what I end up getting.

The Goodwills near me (SE Wisconsin) do not sell furniture anymore. I go to the ReStores to find furniture.

Hi Cory, Are you sure you weren't holding the wicker "thing" upside down? Perhaps it is a candle holder and the "bowl" part you are going to put the flower in, is the bottom part? Just a thought.

❤️

I saw another person with a book of old lithographs, you can tell because they have tissue paper in the books. You can use them in the frames and put the year and the artists name on the back. The book he had was from the mid 1800’s. Lithography is real art, from a metal plate. Not just a print. Maybe get more money in your booth.

10min in, the bow trim piece can be hung over a lg picture hun❤

Every home should have a stair basket.

Great stuff Cory! How does having a booth work as far as booth rental? Do they charge a flat fee monthly or do they typically a percentage of each sale? I’m in So Cal and am trying to figure out the best way to sell my items. The antique malls around here are sort of a dying breed where I live.

Hi just find you love watching you also I had RSV I had to be hospital for 6 days I almost died so horrible having it

You really need to keep that little picture because eventually you will find that pitcher.

Our Goodwill is not selling furniture anymore.

Would you mind sharing your math equation you use when shopping? I have a booth also & it’s hard determining if I’ll make a profit off of something. I know it’s subjective but it would help me when sourcing

Not really a true plastic but I believe it is soroco. At lot of the home interior brand was made of it. Little more durable

FYI, white board markers will erase black msrkers.

❤😊😊😊

🥰👍

I would like to know the cost of the booth and do you make a pay check every month?

Re: GoodWill & furniture - they wouldn’t take furniture in 2021 when I moved & tried to donate. I don’t know if that’s still the policy, but maybe it is since you’re not finding any. I wonder why they stopped taking furniture.

I would like to buy small paintings???

The "fish" bowl? Is a jello mold

You are so cute!

Your “plastic” shelf may very likely be a sirocco piece from the 1960’s in the Hollywood Regency style, making it somewhere near 70 years old! I would NOT paint that! If it is sirocco, it’s worth a lot more than $9.95, as they are increasingly hard to find in good condition. I, personally, never liked them but they were unbelievably popular in the ‘60’s & 70’s & have a following now. I have heard you say this in previous videos but it’s worth noting here-you are not selling things just for YOUR PERSONAL style preference but to appeal to a wide customer base of style preferences. You can easily blend that gold-ish regency piece in with your French style in your booth. Also, clothing at the bins has value as fabric & now, very expensive notions, such as button & other fastener sets. Think of linens (tablecloths, bedspreads, curtains, etc) in terms of FABRICS, so maybe don’t disregard altogether…maybe think of it in a different way. Hire a high school kid to do deconstruction for you by the piece if you don’t have time…still way cheaper than purchasing fabric & notions-here comes that terrible word-new! BTW, I LOVE the windows in your garage door!!!

I'm a sucker for enamel anything

What are goodwill bins ? I’ve never seen them at my goodwill.

Do you sell and ship?

I think people are selling furniture themselves on Facebook Marketplace rather than donating.

Where do you live

Goodwill is no longer cheap! For them to receive all those items free, they charge an arm and leg for everything.

It's nice if you can have time to go through all those bins, personally I wouldn't like to do it . Too much time and too much talking, but I hope you have a good sale!

I think your prices are too low!!!! Think about the work you are putting in plus the materials you use! If selling for profit you are selling yourself short! Good luck!
