That's what I wonder too! I feel like they probably go through a lot and they only air the really good stuff. I wonder how much money they actually make buying storage lockers and reselling the stuff. Sometimes they spend so much money on them I don't know how they ever do make money.

You can count me in too. It's a hoarding prevention method, plus it helps fund the things you want but can't find in the thrifts
. My feedback is almost 100 YAY!
ITA! I just bought a brand new Kitchenaid stand mixer (here it costs 3x the price in the US) reselling some of my finds.
Now I'm "saving" for a Balenciaga bag. 
And I'm also helping DH funding his new computer!
I am selling under the name of raven376648. I'm still manuevering the bay, so can your store have a name?
I only have three items, but I will list more today. Well, my niece will. This is her summer job, she's working my bay and getting paid.
I don't have a store. I just occasionally sell random stuff I want to get rid of (or find really cheap at Goodwill).
Like before most people on this thread were BORN!!! That's some OLD perfumeI've been thrifting fragrances lately ...
The May Co. went out business some time back ...
Someone has been holding on to that for a while!

Decided to share some of my perfume bottles
Hermes d'orange verte ( I also dropped the bottle and broke the lid right off), Hermes Terre, Alexander McQueen My Queen still in box ( I really want to know what it smells like) and a fake bottle of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle still in box. And my most special bottle Alexander McQueen Kingdom it was designed to look like a heart

Thank you. i have another one for you. is it possible to get a classic chanel bag that has the little square on either three or all four of the corners????
Stress and shopping, shopping and stress round and round we go!
Cheaper than therapy!
On Sunday, I thrifted with a small group of "regulars" including my buddy with the enormous Duck Nails, and I found 5 things for The Hubs which all fit him, and which he loved. I spent $2.60 on those items cause it was a 5 for $1 and $1 rack sale ... I was so pleased with myself!
But this is stuff I bought yesterday ... I only took the creme de la creme. Which is really the key I think!
This skirt is amazing ... going to wear it today ... Burning Torch Wallflower ... this is a $300 skirt
It has beading ... leaves little glass leaves on it and I love the way it is cut. I love a raw construction on such a "precious" fabric like silk. It's gorgeous.
$1.33
Another $1.33 skirt ... stretch silk by Bebe
I do not know if you can see this but it has many many seams and curves and although I usually don't buy Bebe the fit mesmerized me!
Part of my tablecloth collection. I thrifted applique table cloths for a time. I was thinking at one point of using them for quilts but luckily me and my scissors got distracted by something shiny and moved on ... this was the day of my wedding! All our tables were in the garden and I used my vintage tablecloth collection! I had to laugh cause I had a bridesmaid who told me not to use them cause they would get ruined ... If you can't use your linens at your own wedding what is the point of collecting!
DVF Skirt ... 100% Silk .. I am LOVING 100% silk items. I mean ... Love. It's love.
I cannot think of more comfortable items than a silk lined silk dress or skirt. No clue why it took me so many years to remember this! And this skirt was $1.33. It was $5 total for all three skirts ... ridiculous .. just insane ... the DVF is as you know a $300 item at retail ...
Flash back? How about a tuxedo type jacket with glorious rhinestone buttons? Oleg Casini!
You all know about me and the wool paranoia. But for $2.50 ... I can take a chance. All the stuff I bought was 50% off due to tag sales at the thrift. So fun! They change the color on Mondays ... so now I know that ...
It's wool so it won't be worn for ... awhile but fall is close enough!
Rummy and Gonzo chill surrounded by Roses ... drunk on the smell! and a meow meow meow!

Good God the one that looks like a heart is the most beautiful bottle I have ever seen. Literally! *swoon!*
They look amazing! I'm filing this information in my memory banks for the day I find one for $2 ...
Like before most people on this thread were BORN!!! That's some OLD perfume
Right!? Someone was into backups I bet! I don't remember when May Co. turned into Robinson's May. But I do know that Norell 2 is supposedly a leather chypre rose fragrance. Not sure if I should sell it (it's rare) or bust it open and spray it all over me ...
YOU are so awesome! I am sure your friends and relatives are so well dressed!
You can count me in too
I like the term Hoarding prevention ... at this point I should start trying my luck at BE or Crossroads I think ... I have too much. I want to stream line
I imagine a jeweler whos familar with Chanel would know, also a pawn shop. Those guys know what to look for with fakes. You could go in under the guise of pawning the watch, and if they authenticate it as a Chanel, act insulted with the price they offer you and leave.
Totally laughing!! But what a great plan!
So cool! The original Norell perfume that I managed to get open without going to the emergency room ... is beautiful!
Yeah. You should have it in a cool dark place. People who are serious about fragrance flip out when they see perfumes exposed to light and temperature changes. It ruins the juice faster. They say. I have a fume that was one of my favorites and I have backups stored in a linen closet. Old vintage perfumes stored correctly do not go bad quickly at all.
If you pronounce "toilet" with a french accent does that help? OOoo oo Fancy!
Yes, you can name your store! You can also send a newsletter out of your finds.I am selling under the name of raven376648. I'm still manuevering the bay, so can your store have a name?
I only have three items, but I will list more today. Well, my niece will. This is her summer job, she's working my bay and getting paid.
That Heart shaped bottle is so special
I am so glad to see pics of your cats again. I believe Oleg Cassini designed clothing for Jackie Kennedy when she was in the White House.Stress and shopping, shopping and stress round and round we go!

I have a thrift store that I love to go to. My 12 year old daughter has been begging me to take her there. Today we head out to what I call "my little old lady thrift store". The sweetest little ladies run it for the hospital childrens charity. Now, I am a true handbag queen. I do love my LV and Gucci bags and, unfortunately, my daughter has caught the handbag bug. So far she is just hooked on Coach and Juicy, thank heavens! Age appropriate and the cost is okay also. Anywho, I take her to my little old lady store. She is very good at spotting quality by how something feels. Crazy, at 12! I know! Anyway, she walks over to me and says "Mom, I think I found something". She hands me a, ready for it? Freaking like brand new Bottega Veneta bag! She said "It feels expensive". That's my little girl!! Are you ready for the best part????? $3! Her first time at real thrifting with mama! I'm so proud! I've submitted it for authentication, but I know it is real. She is right, it feels expensive. I found a bag also. Nothing as special as hers, but still, I found a cute Bruno Magli blue lizard bag. I don't think it has ever had anything inside of it either. Looks brand new. What a great thrifting day for me and my girlie!Attachments
