Millions of donations end up at a Goodwill Outlet near you, where items are sold in large bins for cheap. Whether it's clothing, home appliances, electronics, or furniture, you can find a bargain at every Goodwill Outlet for a fraction of the price of a thrift store.
For every Goodwill warehouse, there is a Goodwill bins rotation schedule, which is when new products are brought out. This is the best time for resellers to buy items for cheap and sell for a profit online.
Why Shop At Bin Stores Near You?
Goodwill Outlet is known by most people as "the bins."
The greatest benefit of shopping at a bin store near you is the cheap cost and the diverse amount of name brand products that you can find.

How To Make Money At Goodwill Outlet
Resellers love Goodwill Outlet because it's the best way to find items you can resell for a profit for cheap. Whether you're an experienced reseller or you're just trying to make a little profit from your thrifting hobby, there's always an opportunity to find items to flip for a profit when you dig through the Goodwill Bins.
Best Tips for New Resellers
For new resellers, clothes can be a challenging first niche to sell online if you're coming in with no previous knowledge on valuable brands, trending clothing styles and/or vintage clothes. If you're near a Goodwill Outlet that sells an assortment of merchandise – clothing, toys, electronics, home goods, and more – this is an easier environment to source items you can flip for a profit.
With so many different areas of expertise, most people can overlook high-value items that you can buy for $2-$5 and resell for $50 or more. While it's not every day you'll score an opportunity to profit like this, it's definitely not "rare" by any means.
1. Download the eBay app and use the camera/barcode scanner
When you look up an item, use Filters and sort by Sold Listings to see the actual price buyers are willing to pay for the item. This is your most powerful tool for making data-driven decisions.
2. Take 10% off the top of sold prices to account for fees
When selling on online marketplaces like eBay and Poshmark, they can take 10% or more in selling fees. This can really cut into your profits, so make sure to consider this when you're sourcing.
3. Consider shipping prices
Shipping can be expensive. Avoid large and heavy items if they're not worth more than $40 in the resellers market. After fees and shipping, it may not be worth your time.
- • USPS First Class (under 1 lb): $4-$9
- • USPS Priority / UPS Ground (over 1 lb): $9-$20+
Look for small, lightweight and easy-to-ship items that resell for at least $30.
4. Check recency and frequency of eBay Sold Listings
To avoid buying items that sit in storage for months, check that people are buying the item often and recently. If there are weekly sales, that's a good sign. If sales are weeks or months apart, there may not be enough demand. Your goal is to find items that sell quickly, even if it means less profit.
5. Always keep learning – there's money everywhere
Don't assume that small plush is worthless – it might be a rare Jellycat that sells for $50-$900. The best skill in reselling is general knowledge and developing an eye for valuable items. Be persistent, stick to data-driven decisions, and you'll start to see patterns with high-resell-value items.
The Biggest Takeaway For New Resellers
Abandon any ideas there are no items worth flipping. No matter where you live, people are moving in, moving out, passing away, and decluttering. As long as this continues, you have great opportunities at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.
Lastly, be respectful and treat other shoppers with kindness. Resellers get a bad reputation, but you don't have to contribute to that persona. Remember, knowledge is power – you can walk into a thrift store hours after opening and find the most valuable item there.
Best Tips For Reselling Clothing
If you have basic knowledge of clothing and brands, shopping at a Goodwill Outlet with just clothes can be profitable. You can find valuable items to sell on eBay, Poshmark, or consignment stores like Plato's Closet or Crossroads.
Look for Single-Stitch T-Shirts
Vintage clothing collectors identify vintage clothes by the stitching at shirt sleeves. Single-stitching (one row of stitches) often indicates a vintage item from before the 1990s. Check the hem of sleeves for this quick identifier.
Look for Sports Jerseys
Official and authentic jerseys are expensive new. Look for embroidery, thicker quality materials, and official clothing tags. Older, vintage jerseys can resell for hundreds of dollars.
Look for College Hoodies and Jackets
College brand hoodies and jackets are a pretty safe flip. Vintage sweatshirts from large colleges known for sports teams (like USC) are even safer bets.
Avoid Basic Adidas and Nike
Mass-produced Nike and Adidas clothes, even brand new with $65 tags, are hard to flip. They're easy to find online with high competition in the pre-owned market. Unless you can buy for just a few dollars, skip these.
Look for Tennis Shoes and Trendy Sandals
Shoes are an easy and profitable flip when you know what sells. Tried and true brands include:
- • Hoka (running shoes)
- • Birkenstock (sandals)
- • New Balance (running shoes)
- • Nike Air Jordans
Note: Fakes are common at Goodwill Outlets. If you see Yeezys or Louis Vuitton, they're probably not authentic. They might still be worth picking up if in good condition, but don't expect authentic luxury items frequently.
