January 16th 2015 i quit my real job to become my own boss reselling full time. best thing i ever did. i used to go in my local goodwill ever day and get a cart full of stuff to resale, would make crazy money on stuff. i noticed a few years ago after countless fake youtube hauls with inflated fake sale prices and numerous facbook pages with people bragging about stuff they found that my business was about to change for the worse. luckily i adapted and changed my business plan. i used to spend a lot of money at goodwill, ive spent 16 bucks there all year. i dont even go anymore bc the prices are insane.

Yeah man I agree even we played a role in the craze for sure with some of our videos but people straight up fake finds and it's ridiculous. Just don't believe everything thats going on online. We also just keep changing our business all the time and thats really the only way to make a living is to transition when needed.

@@tuckandsammie been watching you guys since you saved sammie from the hurricane many years ago but i dont think ive ever left a comment. shoes used to be 4.99 no matter what they were at my goodwills, now the cheapest is 9.99 and ive seen some high as 69.99. i was at a goodwill last year and they had a snowboard on the floor for 2200 bucks, i asked a employee if that was a mistake and she said no that it was 2200. stuff that used to be 1.99 is now 9.99 here. its crazy, all the good stuff goes to goodwills online auction but the crap they put in the store is way overpriced even if your not buying to resell.

Seems to me Goodwill is under the pretense they are a name brand store. Guess the thrift stores want in on the crazy pricing out there. One thing I won't do is donate to these stores anymore. Church donations and homeless shelters is the way to go.

Goodwill is a BIG business. They used to be a Thrift Store but over the past few years they got the idea that they could be a Boutique! The items they have for sale were Donated but they want to sell them for the same price as a high-end store.

Goodwill prices have risen so much in my area. That's so outrageous for things they get for FREE. Donate to Salvation Army because they do so much more good than Goodwill does. I now call them Greedywill. I knew someone who worked at Goodwill and hadn't had a raise in 8 years. Sickening. She has since quit. She knew the regulars by name. Such a sweetheart.

People that need clothes for cheap can just go to Walmart. Stop acting like you can't get stuff dirt cheap at Walmart. Goodwill was NEVER about selling cheap clothes to needy people. You don't know what you're talking about. Goodwill has always been about selling donated items to then use the money they make toward programs for the less fortunate and also to create jobs.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, before you kiddies were born, the donation center businesses realized the antique furniture was being bought by sellers and the buyers were making big $. That was the beginning of the end. So they got hip to it and the good antiques never show up anymore. They never thought about the clothes category. But eventually they did. The realized everything in every category, now needs to be looked up on eBay before it gets to the floor. A lot of donations never make it to the floor. The stores are finding other avenues than the store to sell the good stuff. They could care less about the reseller. When t-shirts went from $0.99 or $1.99 to $7.99 or $9.99 at Salvation Army, I said to myself, "that's it, it's all over". The charity is over, time to pay the big overhead and take care of #1. Inevitable, the reseller had lots of good years, but thrifts got hip to it, as they should over time. They finally caught up. 😊. YEW!

When I had to go into subsidize housing and was trying to get furniture to sit on or sleep on for my children and me and the prices were out rages at Goodwill at Salvation Army I couldn’t find anything so I went to a church thrift store, and I found what I needed and they also delivered it for me., after I left there and moved into my home I gave my furniture my pots and pans my plate everything I gave all of it away. I didn’t charge anybody a dime because I knew what I went through just fine what I needed to survive.

It’s exactly the same in England unfortunately. Most of the thrift stores here have started filtering off anything that is vintage or possibly of quality, including even scrap costume jewellery, at the point of donation, leaving the shelves full of absolute rubbish (and overpriced). They have also become outlets for massive fast fashion companies to sell their overstock and last seasons clothes, while taking a share of the sale price. It’s a shame and also worrying, as thrift stores are often the only shops keeping some English towns alive - if they close it’ll be an island of ghost towns. Also, we’re not exactly sure where all the money goes....often it’s on executive salaries and lawsuits.

We have not adjusted to the new prices for new merchandise. So all prices are shocking. We are annoyed at the prices in thrift stores but in times things will settle down and thrift stores will have to beat new merchandise prices to stay in the game. If the customers are reluctant to pay their prices they will have to re-think their strategy.

I go thrifting mostly for myself. I don't resell. I've purchased a nice collection of vintage Ralph Lauren single stitch tees. I like them because they're really soft 100% cotton. I've also found some really nice longer designer brand cardigan sweaters. I hate polyester or polyester blend. Outside of those I just buy whatever screams buy me when I need some clothes and get in the mood of cleaning old stuff out of the closet I don't wear anymore. I'd rather go thrifting most of the time than the mall. A long sweater in new condition I purchased for $6.99 and brand new would have been $50. I have noticed the past 2 years the thrift store's prices have dramatically increased. Sounds like this is happening everywhere. The sad part is the increases hurt the poorer communities that can't afford paying high prices to put clothes on their backs and clothe their children. IMHO, if people stop buying at thrift stores maybe when they lose business they'll stop increasing prices.

I do think there are a lot more people thrifting for a variety of reasons. And that will always be a good thing. I buy second hand whenever possible for our planet. The price of everything has increased including second hand stuff. Because there are so many resellers it is not as easy to find items to flip. However, everyone still has soooo much shit that there is still plenty to go around. And so many clothes still end up in the landfill. One other thing, Goodwill sells goods to fund their programs that help people to work, so they price at whatever the market will bear. They are not there to give people cheap stuff. And because the market is hot their prices have gotten higher. The hunt may be a little more challenging but you just pointed to a bunch of different ways to still get vintage goods.

I started in the 1990s and there was no 1950s stuff. I never found anything life changing in about 30 years of thrifting. Only found 1 killer 1980's BMX bike. Never found a good guitar or amp. Used to go to Goodwill, Goodwill Bins, Salvation Army, Value Village as far as thrift stores in our town. Back in the 1990s we'd read the newspaper and go to estate sales on the weekend. That was fun. I also only found 1 "Big E" Levi's jacket, which I still have in all those years, paid $6.99 on the rack about 20 years ago.

Yard sales also used to be fun but now people are pricing up yard sales and you have to get there when it starts or the resellers get the decent stuff. I love how honest and real you two are about this situation. Most reseller videos you go on if you DARE say that resellers are why a lot of the good stuff gets bought up fast or the prices have gone up because of them well let's just say that you will get attacked in the comment section and they will all say "there is still a lot of stuff left" well yeah but it is the left overs that few people want. Some resellers that do videos at Goodwill will say what an item costs and what they will hopefully get for it. I also feel that, that is misleading for smaller resellers because those RU-vidrs are going to make more and sell it quicker because they have a following who will buy their stuff. Sorry to rant on but this situation irks me and I can't say how I feel on other channels because instead of people owning up to it they will just deny it and attack anyone who speaks the truth.

Stop acting like that's the case. Have you ever heard of Walmart? Anyone can get BRAND NEW items for dirt cheap there. The "less fortunate" are not shopping for the same items resellers are looking for. Quit with the pearl clutching.

I agree with you guys. I live in Indiana and our Goodwill's and salvation armies are ridiculous too! I have said same thing you guys have when gone into them places. Just ridiculous! There is a Goodwill in Sturgis Michigan that we go to and they are pretty decent on most of their stuff plus they also have brand new stuff too. I like the store. Anyway Love you guys Finally is getting so big and so adorable!!! Love the kitchen also!! Looks awesome 👍. You guys are amazing 😍. Have a safe and happy fourth of July!!!🇺🇸🎉🎊

I call the GoodWill the Ill Will. Anything good gets picked out and sent to the on-line store, and all the stores get are the leftovers. And Target pallets that they apparently purchase. Goodwill blocks out the poor and disadvantaged with their prices, the very people they claim to help. (hah!) My favorite church thrift closed down for good because of Covid, and one medical center thrift did too. A nonprofit locally has a chain of four thrifts, and you can score but only if you know what you're doing. They tend not to have many Ts, if any; I think they turf them all out to $penders, who price them into the stratosphere. My church used to have a center where they gave stuff away, but COVID closed that entirely too. There's one Sally that's sort of close, but it's small and gets picked FAST. The jewelry is always just junk and there isn't a vintage piece of clothing to be seen. OTOH I scored two (size Small, darnit!) authentic James Taylor 1982 concert Ts at an otherwise dead neighborhood tag sale... for $1 for both. Definitely worn but ...Bingo. That said, I spent $6 for everything I found and spent $5 just for gas. I'd say reselling clothes for money overall is dying. If you do it, better diversify now.

From Singapore 🇸🇬. I really think you have nailed it!!..Thank you for showing how thrifting is being destroyed...at the fundamental level..and it's sad!!. Thrifting is a great way to live life with a good conscience...Most clothes and stuff we buy..we do not use it to their full " expiry"...in the same note it takes a conviction to choose to live with minimal possessions..and be practical. Yet organizations like Salvation Army which step in to do the charity we all need by receiving donations of stuff that others can use. But some where down the line..in the last few years..PRICING is destroying the whole environment and mission if these thrift shops..the importance of their existence just by unrealistic pricing. I once saw a lady asking the price of used shoes..that looked alright but certainly used...the thrift shop assistant said it should be $30...when a new pair like that would not be more than $10...I do not want to undermine these organisation's..with staff costs..rent etc..But first and foremost the organisation's must doa rethink on why they started in this journey to provide thrift shops from donated items..Help the needy with their purchases..an alternative to expensive department store pricing...but look at what the thrift shop system has come to...its not practical..sensible..to price these items high. I have visited the Salvation Army shop nearby and the thing is culturally thrifting is not widely practiced in this part of the world..while people donate their stuff but not many buy used items..Anyway the store smells musty and some items placed for sale have been sitting there dor years!!..Yes..if it's furniture etc..like wooden good pieces..it's ok I guess..but there are n9n functional phones and cameras and stuff that are not on working condition..THI makes the store a no- go for people after one visit..So I think getting rid of items by selling it for low prices make great sense..it saves space and at the same time attracts more people with a greater turnover..and it would be better managed and make people more thrift friendly as well...Donated items being sold to the needy for like $5 makes good sense from the charity perspective...encourage thrifting...attract more people to donate as well..and make the whole mechanism SENSIBLE!!..SO I guess pricing people need to get their heads back into the motivation and sense of the thrift store and its existence!!! Go figure!!

Hi guys! You are spot on! The thrift stores are nuts now with the pricing, I can get same stuff in better shape on clearance, I used to find lots of clothing for myself, it's definitely changing, I think it's because it's trendy to thrift now. I only go on sr.dicount days or half price days now...still enjoy it but they're definitely getting greedy, especially Goodwill, and the only one that's non profit is Salvation Army, anyway thanks for your wonderful, and entertaining videos, it's a joy to see you with little Fin, she's a doll! 💗 Keep up your great work!

I am just south of San Diego and our Goodwill has really high prices. Luckily they are on a main road that has 4 other thrift shops - within 3 miles. I only go there every 6 months or so to look for DVD's not in my inventory (230+). I have a hunch the folks that work there have ways of filtering the good stuff.

Goodwill has been highly overpriced for years and years. I stopped shopping there a looong time ago. I love my local thrift stores. But even the hospice thrift stores are rising... But the furniture though. You can't beat it, solid wood, vintage sometimes antique pieces at great prices especially on 50% off furniture days. 😊 But my favorite will always be salvation army, especially Wednesday when the whole store is 50% off and I love how clean and organized it always is. The clothes are always hung by color 😊 another Great video family. Thank you and stay blessed. ✌️❤️🙏

I live in Alberta Canada,the prices in the thrift stores have tripled in the last two years. You might as well go to Walmart and at least get it new for the same price. And even sometimes lower. Even dollar tree items that are sold in the store for 1.50 the thrift stores have it priced for 2.99. And they claim to donate to good causes. In the past lower income people would shop the thrift store and be able to afford stuff. Now not anymore

Love your guys videos! You are absolutely correct about the higher goodwill prices. It’s even worse than that….they hold back all scarce & rare items and sell them auction style on their national web site….if that’s not bad enough, many goodwill sites have their own eBay page and sell on there. And you wonder why the quality of their items is decreasing? There is your answer!

I agree about goodwill pricing, however. It DOES depend where you are located. I watch alot of thrifting videos and most stores are priced much higher than those around me. Also, if you are hunting for just vintage t-shirts thrifting is probably not the way anymore. Thrifting regular clothing for resale is still good especially shopping on sale days which is what I do, and smaller community thrift stores as well

What happened to that Thrift store in Monmouth County with these skate boards? Maybe you know this already and need content for the YTC? And then I understand. But man I put a free ad on a North Palm Beach, Palm Beach telling people I'm disabled and sell on eBay and need stuff and people come and give me free junk to sell. They drive to my home and leave it!
