RE: Quick But Valuable Goodwill Thrifting Score - Digital Media Server & Some Mario Games

in #thrifting7 years ago (edited)

I've been thrifting through antique shops lately, as well as scrapping for precious metals. I'll have to remember to keep the goodwill store in mind when I do my rounds. You never know what you're going to found! Just the other day I found a $200 suit at goodwill and it fit me. Total cost: $20

Sort:  

Antique shops are tough because sellers usually research and price for profit, but the Goodwill is a no brainer for finding deals for yourself or to sell.

I found a mint condition $1,500-$2,000 sport coat (if new) for.... $8 a few weeks ago. Fits like a glove, but just need to lower the sleeves half an inch or so.

How are you hunting for metals? Do you use a metal detector or go panning?

No metal detector yet but I scrap electronics and look through coins. When all else fails I go buy a silver round. Don't know if there is any panning to do around here but I'm almost certain I find bits of copper gold and silver in some of the rocks I find.
