A SAVVY shopper has found a $70 designer purse for just $20 at Goodwill.
Thrift stores can be a great place to buy cheap items that you can sell for a profit on sites like eBay and Facebook Marketplace.
Ryan is a TikToker (@hollywood_hilton) who recently posted a video sharing his trip to a Goodwill Boutique store in Oregon.
Goodwill Boutique stores are an upscale version of a regular Goodwill and are more likely to sell expensive goods.
Once inside, Ryan immediately noticed the difference.
“I thought it was gonna be like a normal Goodwill, but it seemed really well organized and a little bit fancier,” he said.

“As I started to walk around, I noticed some of the products were a little higher end.”
Ryan stumbled across brands such as Burberry, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, and many other top-tier labels.
Among the aisles, he picked out a Coach purse with a price of $19.99 that was in immaculate condition.
Considering the MRSP for this item is $69.99, he could likely sell his Goodwill score on eBay, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace for a considerable profit.

If you are thrifting for items to resell, more expensive finds will generally give you a higher profit margin.
A Goodwill Boutique is more likely to stock these types of high-ticket products, and the stores generally have better-organized aisles that are easier to navigate.
You can also try going to thrift stores in wealthy neighborhoods where local donors are more likely to give away expensive clothes and ornaments.
But sometimes, thrifting for profit is about luck.
SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND
For example, TikToker @surfsupfinds recently found a vintage sweater by Coogi for $5.
He relisted this item on eBay, where 90s fashion enthusiasts raised the bidding to $127.
And clothing isn’t the only section where there is money to be made.
Don’t forget to check the sports equipment shelves, where you could find valuable golf clubs at bargain prices.
