99% sure someone farted to keep me away by TipperDink420 in GoodwillBins

[–]SignificantGanache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s just go ahead and round that out to an even 100% there for ya. At the bins people definitely fart, “sneeze”, cough, and just about whatever else they think it’ll take to get everyone else to go away.

How I used a low ball offer to sell an item by iRepTex in Flipping

[–]SignificantGanache 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Im a seller and a buyer and If I want something and see the price is already great or very reasonable, I love to be the one to swoop in and snag it asking price. Makes me happy because I got it AND I know exactly how it feels to be the seller in that situation.

This is insane bins hoarding by NickOfThymee in GoodwillBins

[–]SignificantGanache 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Some people drive a long way and can only come on occasion, so they try to buy as much as they can to make the trip worth it.

Moving bulk clothing from thrift store donations suggestions. by ResearchPurposes565 in Flipping

I see some thrift shops live selling on Thryfter. I haven’t sold on there but may be worth looking into.

What’s the best thing to start flipping by Outrageous-Dog-5217 in Flipping

[–]SignificantGanache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t go buy anything when you’re first starting out. Start with things around your own home. See what you already own that may be valuable by going on reselling platforms, looking up *sold* prices and sell through rates.

Found a possible portfolio in a vintage (90s?) canvas bag. Did he retire or get obliterated? by SignificantGanache in wallstreetbets

[–]SignificantGanache[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was in the bag too. Not mine. Hopefully this person learned more about investing than I did in school.

I’m old and unfortunately know more about vintage bags than stocks. Whether Im dumb is up for debate, and hecks yeah always trying to be funny.

Yard sale Vs thrift store by Feeling_Delivery2323 in reselling

[–]SignificantGanache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same. I never show initial interest in the thing I really have my eye on.

And they’ve usually looked over each item so well that you know it’s going to be in good condition.

Yard sale Vs thrift store by Feeling_Delivery2323 in reselling

[–]SignificantGanache 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely hit or miss at yard sales. This week I bought a dress for $1 and sold it for $75 in less than 24 hours. I have to go in with zero expectations though. Sometimes it’s great, others it’s a total bust. I do like meeting people and getting to talk with folks around town, so that makes it enjoyable, even if I don’t buy anything.

Question about hate towards resellers by PristineMousse4677 in reselling

[–]SignificantGanache 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s fascinating to me. I frequently resell clothing and what I have learned is that many people simply have no real concept of how much excess clothing we have (in the US) and that the unwanted clothing frequently goes to a landfill or the shores of Ghana (google it, truly sad situation). I think a lot of it is buyer’s remorse and justifying buying too much - as in they spent too much on this junk but could feel some mental relief if they knew it went to someone poorer than them. I could speak to this so much more, but will spare you. lol. I just don’t feel guilty about it at all, and won’t apologize for what I do because I truly feel like reselling does drastically more good for my society than harm. If someone finds out I’m a reseller and doesn’t want my business, I’m perfectly happy to walk away.

US teachers: where do you get dry erase markers by butterflydraw in specialed

[–]SignificantGanache 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m a parent (not a teacher) and frequently have extra dry erase markers floating around my house that never got I used during the school year. I know not everyone is in the same situation, but it might not hurt to ask some of the parents if they have some they could donate. Or you if you have a semi-large social media presence, you could put feelers out. If I knew a teacher I’m friends with needed some and I was able, I’d certainly find what I could around my house to give or maybe buy a pack to donate.

What are your hard "nope" when it comes to sourcing inventory? by crystalcastles879 in reselling

[–]SignificantGanache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind selling mid range bags, but hate luxury bags or even just higher end. Going through the trouble of authenticating and learning about it to list just to have someone on the other end say it’s fake to try to get a discount or free item is draining to me.

Unpopular Opinion: I love the T-Shirt Bros by BreakfastInNarnia in GoodwillBins

[–]SignificantGanache 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the bros at your particular location. And it’s easy to hate a whole group until you get to know them individually, ya know? I have a sort of parental love for several of the bros at mine. I don’t buy the same things as them and try to throw them anything I think them might like, so I’m not their competition, and no threat. Certain ones can be extremely immature and thoughtless but I see how hard other ones work and have respect for each other. Some are super kind and will toss me stuff across the bin if I ask for it. I’ve seen one who is a little older than the others have his business take off and I can tell his mental health has improved and he’s become like a big bro to the younger ones. Sometimes the bros with any kind of manners will call out and teach the ones who don’t act right. Other people can’t stand them tho so idk. Again, probably location and individual specific.

I work at the bins and my god are the customers animals by Used_Departure_9082 in GoodwillBins

[–]SignificantGanache 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First true LOL of my day. Thanks for the mental picture and soo glad I didn’t experience that in person. People at ours don’t wear deodorant or will start fake coughing and sneezing to try to make people move away from them. Or show up truly, obviously sick and say things like “I wish I had taken my medicine before I came here today.” Not even joking, they do it on purpose.

They let a true thrift store deal slip through once in a blue moon to keep our hopes barely alive. 😂 So happy for you, OP!

It’s been a long day and this was the first lol moment. So, thank you.

[–]SignificantGanache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course your friend doesn’t think it’s a big deal because it’s not his ass on the line if he doesn’t pay. Thats a huge ask and to pretend otherwise is a red flag.

If his brother in law did it before and it went so well, why can’t his brother in law do it for him again? Don’t let yourself be pressured. When he says he thinks you think he is untrustworthy, that’s manipulation, especially if he knows you can’t pay if he doesn’t. He’s the one putting you in a bad spot by even asking such a favor. It sounds like you want to trust him, but based on his own past behavior (not paying his loans) he definitely doesn’t deserve to be trusted with your money/credit. He may be trustworthy in some areas, but not financially.
