Finding Items to Resell

Some people will go from yard sales looking for bargains and not knowing what they are going to find. It is best to search online or in your local newspaper first. This will help you locate the specific items you are looking for.

When searching for garage, yard sales use keywords of garage, yard, rummage, community, church, neighborhood, large. Or you can use specific keywords for the items you are looking for.
Places to search for garage, yard sales are:
Garage Sales Yard Sales
Craigslist

Thrift stores is another great place to find items. I have found left over Estate items usually will go to thrift stores. If you donate to a thrift store I have found most give you a coupon to help save on your next purchases.
Here are a few thrift stores that are pretty common through out the USA.

Search these Thrift stores by entering in your zipcode.
Goodwill Thrift Store Locator
St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores Locator
Salvation Army Thrift Stores

Estate sales are another good way to find items to resell. Craigslist you can also find Estate sale under garage sales.
