I've been doing more research on what to look for at thrift stores to buy and resell, and tonight I saw a rather ugly pitcher and bowl set, avocado green with a turkey emblazoned on both sides of the pitcher. Immediately I knew it was a winner. Checked into it and found that it is a 1968 McCoy Pottery pitcher and bowl set, and runs between $20-$70 on eBay depending on condition and color. I feel like I'm starting to get an eye for this stuff. I'm finding it enjoyable to sift through the shelves, checking for marks on the bottom of the items and researching them from my phone. It's like a treasure hunt.
We also saw some china that we may go back and grab. Upon researching the pattern we discovered that the dinner plates alone can fetch upwards of $20 a piece! The set we saw was a HUGE set, including a gravy boat, dessert plates, and etc. I wish I had more storage space so I could buy china to resell, because there is always a lot of it at the Goodwills.
Got myself those Chucks I wanted: two pairs, $14 total, brand new!
Hubster did well on Christmas Eve. He found Scooby Doo stuff galore for Moo, like the Mystery Machine and a mansion playset with figures for a measly $10 total. He's starting to enjoy thrift shopping as much as I do, now that he sees the quality of the stuff offered and the ridiculously low prices, plus he loves when I can find things to resell and make the money back that we spent at the store. Win-win!
