Keeping current

With this business, everything changes, all the time: what you find available, how the thrift stores price, where you can locate inventory, resale market, more.

When we first started selling, we did ALOT of research. It did help a lot, especially when we added clothing to the inventory several years in. However, there is no telling what you might run across at any given time. You have to look things up, with very few exceptions. The most important thing to include is the brand/label and model number/style name. As people buy new stuff when it becomes available, they donate their old stuff, so the things that used to be valuable become less so in many cases.
