Here is the video transcript:

00:00:00 I am so excited I wanted to share this Goodwill flip trip that I just did and Goodwill is one of my favorite places to go and actually buy things so I went to Goodwill and I literally spent what was it $10 because I rounded up but honestly out of all the items that I bought um they were really only $9 maybe even eight but anyways I spent $10 total and that’s rounding up and one of the items is actually a little gifty so I spent a dollar on a gift rounded up for 36 Cents my taxes at all I spent $10 so I want to show you why I love

00:00:49 Goodwill why I go there and kind of like what I buy so I figured I’ll show you what I picked up I really only bought one two three four five five items six items total um and two of them are repeat items so let me show you what I do when I go to Goodwill one thing that I do is I always have my Safari up and that was something I was looking up um I have my Amazon um seller app pulled up and I have my eBay app pulled up so I have these and what I’ll do is I’ll just go to Goodwill and I’ll kind of look through and see what things

00:01:33 I would like to sell and I only look for new things so if they have to be new and in the package I go straight really for the home racks back in the back of the store or however the Goodwill is laid out I go past the clothing I don’t look at clothing you can make money off clothing I’ve done pretty much everything I’ve done books I’ve done baby I’ve done clothing I’ve done the big items in the back um like the outdoor and golfing and all kinds of stuff but what I find is best is honestly just going up and down those

00:02:08 home racks and seeing what you can find and going with the things that I’ve shown you in like the new product cheat sheet um small and light and non-breakable and I really look for new items and you can find new items at Goodwill totally so those are the um apps that I use but let me show you okay so the first thing that I came across was this Domino um TR Domino set and you’ll see that I only paid 99 for these dominoes so what I do is I always look for these barcodes and the reason barcodes the

00:02:53 reason I like this is if you can tell it’s sealed so this is new and sealed and one of the things that I hate about looking through like games and toys at Goodwill is a lot of them are open and you don’t know if all the parts are in there so the first thing I do is I normally will go straight to my Amazon seller app and I will scan the item on my app so I’ll go add a product and I’ll scan the item and it says that this requires approval but one thing that’s really interesting is how much this item goes for this item goes for

00:03:28 $554 5 so the next thing I would want to do is go over to eBay and see how much the item goes for on eBay so I’m going to scan the same item and I know that the item also goes for a really large amount so $22 and again if you’re looking at this you can kind of see what’s going but you probably want to filter I don’t really do all that when I’m at the store I just kind of get a quick idea I’ll say like okay buy it now and condition new there’s only three other people selling this on eBay so one offer is for $22

00:04:10 plus 11 so like 30 a little over $30 3310 maybe so 33 bucks the sponsor one is going to be um a repeat of probably another one down here but the only other person is selling this for $18.90 plus $10 so this is still going for like $30 so it’s going for about half the price it is on Amazon but the doesn’t mean that you can’t try to sell it for more or List it more cuz as soon as these offers are gone then yours is the only one in line and there’s only three of these so that’s really interesting um so

00:04:43 that’s the first thing that I bought and I paid 99 Cents for the um Tri triomino so they’re not so they’re dominoes but they’re triangle dominoes so that is one thing so I already know that that right there would probably pay for my um Amazon trip so that is really good so that alone was the first thing I found and I was like okay well I’ll get that so the next thing that I found was this um Connect 4 set so this is some 3D Connect 4 set and it’s made by cam Mand delay and I know if you notice I only

00:05:36 paid $3.99 for this oh and real quick since these triomino require approval on Amazon I would probably just list them on eBay um I may eventually try to get approval in the toys category on Amazon if I feel like it but um I don’t really feel like going through that for one product but the but the next thing is actually another toy and game so this could make it worth doing it on Amazon but I just want to see if this actually sells on Amazon so I’m going to scan the barcode and nothing comes up so the

00:06:19 other thing that I might want to do is actually just look this up on Amazon or look this up online oh actually let me scan on eBay real quick eBay so on eBay this 3D Connect 4 goes for $19.99 plus $11 $25 +10 um shipping and those are both brand new so um that’s 30 bucks plus I’ll probably have to spend I don’t know maybe five to say worst case scenario $10 to ship this but I doubt it maybe like seven um and I’m going to have some fees come out so I know that I can probably list this for more there’s only two other people

00:07:12 selling it and when theirs sell out mine’s the only one up but Amazon didn’t pull it up however I’m pretty sure they would probably know what this item is so anyways I’m going to look this up I’m just going to Google cam Mandalay 3D Connect 4 for because I’ve already looked this up that’s why it comes up so you know the eBay one pulls up this Gambia games pulls it up for $40 um merari somebody selling it for 20 but it looks like it could be open yeah it says used so there’s not a lot out there um but $40 on Etsy there’s a

00:07:54 similar thing going just on their website cyan manderlay it says that it’s $50 $59.99 and they don’t even have any in stock this product’s unavailable so that’s pretty crazy that they don’t have it in stock and we have one and they were selling it for $ 59.99 so you’re getting it online for you know less but the other thing that I would look up is see if you can find this on Amazon just by searching just to see so I don’t see it um I really wouldn’t put too much more effort into it but either way I knew

00:08:39 that this item would be worth it just from my own knowledge but toys and games baby things like that so A game is really popular okay what else um another I guess this would be game would be this Vegas golf VIP Edition on the course golf game 19 chips special edition free Deluxe chip an accessory bag included um so I got this game Vegas golf chip and I paid $1.99 $199 $1.99 so the first thing I want to do is go to Amazon and just search and actually this didn’t I don’t know if this came up let me see Vegas golf VIP

00:09:39 Edition it’s not reading it but um and the other thing that I probably do is pull off this tag that’s on the back um if I wasn’t doing this tutorial to show you I would pull this off and see if there’s a barcode and I would scan it but what I did is I just went and I googled Vegas golf um VIP Edition and these this 19 chip game already came up so what I like about this is um it’s expensive so it goes for $29.95 this one says that you cannot sell this in new condition um um you can sell it in used

00:10:31 and collectible I personally wouldn’t sell this because mine isn’t used but it lets me know that it goes for a lot of money it’s got four and a half Stars 170 reviews it’s number 51 in sports so it seems like a really popular game so that lets me know that I can probably find this on eBay so I’m going to look on eBay real quick um and just see if this comes up and it does so it goes for anywhere from and these are all brand new um 3769 3924 $43.95 I mean this I paid $2 for this game and it’s literally

00:11:14 going for 3040 so that right there lets me know that this is money and then the only other thing that I might do I would look this up on the Internet um just in general and again it’s going for 19 20 $30 so that’s money so that’s just three items and they’re all going for $3 to $50 so I only paid $10 for the box and then the other two things that I did um fine and the two are the same are these water filters now what I didn’t like is there was no barcode on these water filters but um they did have a model

00:11:58 number and I already know that that a lot of people are going to have to have these water filters and also one thing I did was I just kind of popped this open and I made sure that it was new so there was plastic on it which is why I liked it and then the other thing I thought about with water filters was if there was an expiration date so I kind of tried to look and I didn’t really see one but um what I would do is just Google this so I googled this belvita um refrigerator oh I spelled it wrong Bel

00:12:35 Vita re refrigerator and then I would um and it’s probably a filter I really don’t know I would just say filter I would take out that space and then I would put in this model number so the model number that I’m seeing is what I’m seeing on the side so this is going to be bl0 13 so I would search that and just see if anything came up for it and it tells me already that these just by glancing online I know that this is really similar to this two pack Bell verer water filters and I have two of them and

00:13:18 I only paid 99 Cents and um each so I paid 99 each that’s $2 and they’re already going just on eBay for $239 95 and I’m not even really looking into them I’m just kind of glancing online so I just kind of glance at this stuff and just see if it goes how much it goes for and um kind of go from there and then on Amazon it says Belita and you could honestly look this up on Amazon and see if you can find it on Amazon if you wanted to and this isn’t the seller app so I wouldn’t even look on here this is just coming up from

00:13:56 the internet but it lets you know that this is a potential item you could sell on Amazon I would search for it on Amazon um just like we did on on the internet and see if it came up but I think I already looked it up and sometimes Amazon’s weird about things like water filters or printer ink or photo paper for some reason so I actually saw these three packs of Canon photo paper at um Goodwill and I really was thinking they I could sell them but I couldn’t really find them on online um and they were just it wasn’t worth it for me

00:14:36 because I’ve done it before so printer ink photo paper fridge filters even pool filters think about things people need so these filters I paid $2 for and they go for um a pretty decent amount online so um that’s what I really look at or that’s what I was looking at so I literally bought one two three four five items um and look at how small of a space these items take up so they could go in the RV and they can travel with me and I’m really careful about my items but what I do is I actually just make sure I take

00:15:13 these little labels off um and I’m just really careful when I peel them off and sometimes I’ll even be like and try to get it hot if you have a hair dryer I just am really careful when I take these off um but I’ll leave that on for now and the only other thing I bought was this one little thing but I was going to give this to my dad it’s just a 99 cent stupid little book thing so he reads books and I thought it’s his father of the year and it’s more like an inside joke I thought it’d be hilarious

00:15:44 to give that to my dad but I only paid $10 at Goodwill um and yeah that’s really how I looked this up I was trying to think if there was anything else to show you um other than you know the apps that I use the Amazon Seller eBay and the internet I just looked those things up and I quickly found those items and I don’t want to say quickly I literally probably spent an hour and a half to two hours at Goodwill I spent $10 of my money and I’m going to make probably anywhere from $50 to $100 maybe less um than 50 but if it’s

00:16:29 going to bring me a decent amount of income So eventually I could tell you what I made on this but I just got this and thought it was a really good flip and I wanted to share it with you and you can do this at thrift stores I’ve done this at Walmart and Target and clearance aisles but honestly this is what I do and I kind of was sitting here this morning and I was like well I really like to go in the morning um because it’s quieter and there’s not as many people there but around lunch time it started getting busy so I went around

00:16:56 maybe 10:00 and then it started getting busy around 12 but that’s really what I do I love Goodwills um like I told you some other stores but you can really find this stuff everywhere you just have to be looking and all those items were new but I’m going to tell you where I list those eventually um right now just real quick I would probably list these items on Ebay I would list this on eBay and honestly I would have to list all of them on eBay because I’m restricted in toys and games and I can’t list this one

00:17:29 new so I would list all these on eBay it is going to be more work I really wanted to find some stuff at Amazon I mean at Goodwill that I could show you to throw up on Amazon or give to Amazon FBA like throw it all in a box send it to Amazon FBA and then do it for you but it just didn’t work out this trip So eventually I’m going to be able to show you how I do an Amazon FBA trip um in one of these next lesson so if you have questions drop in the Facebook group um let me know let me know your finds make sure to

00:18:03 share your wins that is my win I’ll be sharing that in the Facebook group um and yeah so have fun doing your flip that was a flip at Goodwill and yeah I want to see your flips
