Alias300 wished I could trade for a credit think I would be doing that before trying to sell. 

Haven't tried Plato's Closet yet.  Don't have a lot of high end clothes.

 

Try asking. I had to.  Usually a donation just gives you 10% off next purchase.  But if you do a quick inventory (20 jeans, 2 suits....) and add it all up using salvation army's donation list (on their website) and say its $500 of donations, can I get $50 in credit, some of the managers are cool like that.

Plato's is real picky.  I've brought them brand new Levi's with tag and they jut pushed to side.
They really know their niche and only buy with-in that.
Men's clothes seem to be top line name brands that most guys don't buy themselves but wives like.
After that its name brand business casual. Golf course stuff.
And pretty much if it doesn't have a logo showing they don't buy.

Had a bunch of Kenneth Cole dress pants that run $100 even at discount stores and they didn't want them.
The clientele not only wants name brand, they want people to know they are wearing name brand.....

Along with that, if anyone knows of them in the NW hit me up. Doesn't really appeal to me but would hit one out of curiosity. Maybe it could turn into something.

I've done a quick look around and didn't find much.  Guess Ken's Baggage handles a lot of it but couldn't find a when or where....even with my extremely dedicated research......looked at their website, didn't see anything after a 30second glance and then started searching for dinner idea's.   

Ill throw in but that little, totally unseen.... I don't know.   I'll gamble $25, maybe $40 if it looks packed well.

But you sell clothes.   I don't.
Hell, I have enough trouble keeping my own clothes washed and sorted and folded.   

Got some nice picks in today.

Hit two huge estate sales and three small, not run by estate sale companies.

Big ones, did well at first.  Ton of tools and car parts, major focas. Think they  spent so much time researching the garage and shop that they hurried the rest.
Got some old school Snap-On stuff. Great price but hard sells. Not standard stuff.
Best find was some old Niagara "lanterns" (1930s) for $1ea.  Haven't researched a lot but thinking I should get Over $20/ea pretty easy.

Second big one I got some nice chisels and hand vices from early 1900s. Paid $2/ea. Only have looked up some but vices are not what I thought, sell for $10-$15.   But chisels are some sought after item from England.   Haven't found any going for less that $40.  Only found one exact match so far but bidding is up to $90.   For an F'n chisel!  Whatever, I'll take it.....

Last ones were really good.  Got a bunch of vintage kitchen stuff.  Cutco knives. General merchandise.  All stuff I've Craigslisted fast and easy before. Spent all of $12.    I just filled a bag at one and he said $5 and it had a set of cutco knives and coper sauce pans......

Still have 6 sales that open tomorrow and then go back to two of today's on Sunday for 50% off the leftovers.....

Should be a profitable week.....finally. 

Every forum ends up like this.
Talk the sh*t out of a subject. New people come and old timers direct them to past threads instead of talking about subject agian.  Forum turns to a smll group BS'n about non-sense.  New people don't see much content. .....

Tho one forum about 5 of us still talk 10yrs later.  Met in person. Going to ones wedding. And have a place to stay when I'm in London....

So some good comes of sticking around these things.   

Small world story:   I was on a forum for about 5yrs.  Eventually, thru time, things the web master said started adding up.  Finally I asked him where he worked.  Turns out he not only worked across the street but I could look out my office window, down about 20 floors, and see him in his office!  I saw him everyday at coffee shop!

Another small world story:  same forum, another member from the east coast was talking and was in my town on business.  Not only was she in the hotel three blocks from my condo but she was opposing counsel to one of our cases! 

Sort, bag and donate.

You can either get a tax write off or store credit at places like value village.

I usually go for credit then hold them all and "pick".  Turn 100 $1 items into a $30-$40 item that sells fast.
If you don't have outlet to move them, then tun into something you can


Should add that I have 10 pair of " like new" True Religeon jeans I can't get rid of at a decent price.
Going to accept Plato's Closets offer of $22/pair......
Didn't get a single bid on eBay.  I know if I keep listing they will eventually sell but I like cash in hand now

Time to start your own bouncy house business!
Rent that thing out.
