Items To Look For When Thrifting
I am a member of various eBay Facebook Groups plus I watch YouTube religiously for learning purposes. I compiled their suggestions for you and will continue to add to this list. Remember to always do your own research. Look at completed items before you sink money into a particular item. Even though a brand may be recommended, not ALL items found in that brand are going to sell for good money. If I have had any experience with a particular item, I will leave a note.
