I have NEVER seen the garage sale season so terrible out here in Palm Desert as it has been this year. Weekend after weekend I come back with my SUV empty or just a tiny box rolling around in the back. I have been looking for products to sell online and I have been trying to figure it out and all that we can come up with is that with the economy still in turnaround mode, more and more people are holding on to their stuff or selling it themselves through consignment stores or online.
Whatever the reason, I have been having some great luck with the thrift stores so thank goodness for them. I also spent a few days last week in San Diego (I love San Diego) and was able to hit some neat thrift stores there.
Here is my shopping cart full of stuff that I got at the AmVet store by the San Diego airport. What a wild place that has some of the best products to sell online!
Notice that I bought a lot of plush (that is what you see in the huge plastic bags) and this is all thanks to eBay expert, Debbie Ybarra! As I was writing this, I just sold a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal. Once again, Thank you to Debbie! It is amazing how well you can do with plush. Find out the fantastic price I sold this used Winnie the Pooh bear for!
Then, when I was back in the desert, I was contemplating looking for products to sell online when I stopped by my local Goodwill after an appointment and totally scored! To be fair, I can’t totally discount garage sales. I did happen upon one really great one two Saturdays ago. That one will be featured in one of my LOL presentations next month in Las Vegas. At that garage sale I found a bunch of clothing at 75 cents per piece. Check out this wrap dress that sold for a great return. See how much I sold this Maggie L London wrap dress for!
Speaking of clothing, my mom just bought 400 pieces of designer clothing during the last day of an estate sale for about $1 each. What a total score! You can find some of the best products to sell online at estate sales! I love them! Check out this photo of her usually immaculate living room with SOME of those clothes. Yikes!
Here is one of those pieces that she has up for sale on eBay. It is a St. John Knit Jacket that she had bought for $10 on the first day of the sale and then got the matching striped tank for $1 in the closeout purchase on the last day! Go mom!
And then you should check out this amazingly beautiful Oleg Cassini evening gown. I wish I had somewhere to wear this (my high school reunion is coming up and may conflict with Live Boot Camp at HQ, but more about that later!) The dress is just fantastic. (Although, I did just offer my mom some constructive criticism about moving her teal blue colored chair and crazy watercolor painting out of the background .
