Crazy to see what other Goodwills put out. You aren't getting this inventory where I live and I go every day. The good stuff doesn't even hit the floor anymore, they just push out puzzles with half the pieces missing and dirty plush

Absolutely. He scores so many good pick ups, which is awesome for him. But definitely not picking up anything like him. I'd assume he also goes at open which is why the cart is the first thing he goes to each video. Definitely learn a lot from the videos though

The squirt gun is the "Hulk Hogan Water Pumper", searching that will bring up a history sold comps and listed. Most those marks on the figure appear to be paint transfer marks, likely from years of rubbing against other toys in a drawer/bin. A magic eraser should be able to take off a majority of those marks without much issue, if you can clean it up should be a decent small.

I have an alarming amount of Pyrex scattered throughout my farm since my kids would grab a dish or mixing bowl and go rescue a bird or squirrel, feed a calf or collect berries and leave them outside. I find them on my walks all the time and they still look great! I just dump the old leaves out and leave them out to collect rain water for the Critters and savor the memories now that the kids are grown. Thankfully I have more inside and use them often. They are an excellent investment!

Question (and you may not answer it), but are you like the first one in the door when Goodwill opens in the morning? And do they conveniently place the merchandise carts in the back of the store for you to rummage through? In every one of these videos, they have carts waiting there to be invaded. they certainly don't do this at mine.

@@j0s1v I have it good with one of my local thrift stores that will put stuff aside for me before I get there; and if I don't want it, they will put it on the shelf. Of course, I bring them breakfast sometimes and buy things for them when they are on the clock and can't buy it themselves. It does pay for build a relationship with the employees. Many of the other regular customers that also buy and sell will give them a hard time. So, they shouldn't be surprised when they as despised by the employees. It pays to be nice and respectful.
