One of my favorite things about thrifting is when you find an authentic luxury designer item at a fraction of the price. But what’s better than that? When that item is brand new and has the original tags inside still! That’s what happened during this trip to the thrift. I found some really really great items, but the best thing I found was probably this Chloe wallet for $13!!! It always blows me away every time something like this happens and I cry a tear for every dollar saved. In this case it’s 527 and that’s not including tax, hahah.
Another really great item I thrifted was a gorgeous leather and canvas Paravel bag. I was not familiar with the brand until I found it, but after I looked it up I found out more about the brand, its popularity, retail value, and resale value. Finding new brands at the stores are always fun and crucial to resale because it expands your horizons and view for future thrift trips. As online resellers we are always growing our knowledge, learning more and more, and the sky is really the limit. There are so many things out there that we cannot possibly know it all and we can’t expect to, but we can continue adding more and more to our thrifting repertoire.
Looking up things is so easy. Google definitely is our best friend and all of its search functions. Other selling apps and websites are beneficial as well in searching for what is trending for resale, how much similar items are selling for and when the last time something like that was sold.
