Sometimes people ask me what I'm going to do when I retire. Sometimes I try to explain my passions for collecting and reselling thrift store finds. But people inevitably ask me what kinds of stuff do I look for. It's hard to explain. The photo above is my haul from two thrift stores today. It's a hodge podge of stuff, but it is all things i think people will want.
Though some things just appeal to me like the large white Happy Buddha and the small weeping buddha. They fit in the category of things I don't care about not selling because I like them. The other stuff is cool, but I'm anxious to flip it.
I also look for things on sale, like the African mask and the flue cover in the foreground. They were both blue tag items at Goodwill and both were 50 percent off. The African statue, the sugar skull, the Funko Pop, the pottery oil lamp and the cup made out of a tree branch were from the Deseret Thrift store run by the Mormon church. Collectively I don't think I paid more than $16 for them and I'm hoping to sell the lot for maybe a couple of hundred.
All in all, it was a good day.
