what is up youtube thrift school over
here outside the dollar tree uh it's a
dollar store i'm sure you have one near
you we're gonna go inside to see if we
can make some money
on one dollar items i don't know i've
been going to the same goodwill every
day and i'm getting tired of it so let's
switch it up and see how much money we
can make inside of a dollar store and
this is for anybody to do i'm sure you
got a dollar store and i'm sure you got
a couple bucks laying around let's see
so here we are inside of the dollar
store and you know i've never really
done any actual sourcing inside of a
dollar store but i've been seeing all
these videos popping up on youtube about
making money at dollar general and it's
insane how much money i make at dollar
general so i figured i would give it a
shot i'm gonna walk in here see what we
find now most everything i see in the
beginning just looks like a generic
knockoff chinese nothing worth anything
right stuff that's worth a dollar but
first thing i see are some things that
are actually licensed i was like wow
there might be some money here i scan it
and look at that you'd make 78 cents per
card set now that's obviously not a lot
of money but it made me realize okay
there's actually money to be made
scanned another one you'd make two bucks
on this one the rank is pretty high but
this is one of the very first things i
scanned in here realizing okay maybe
there actually is a viable way to make
money even at a dollar store it's insane
guys if you're low on money
if you're just starting reselling on
amazon or even ebay
and you need somewhere to source you
don't have a thrift store near you i'm
sure there's a dollar store or a dollar
general near you give it a shot you're
gonna see some things in this video
where i really couldn't believe
how
this stuff was just selling in here and
selling for so much more over on amazon
now moving to the toy section i love the
toys these are all knockoff legos you
don't really want to be scanning these
things they're not worth anything i
found some more licensed items some
teenage mutant ninja turtles they didn't
look very good and they weren't worth
anything i couldn't even find them on
amazon so i had to leave those behind
but
i decide to you know keep looking around
i know i'm gonna find something found
some hot wheels hey not bad now there
are some rare hot wheels the redlined
wheels if you know nothing about them go
to ebay type in hot wheels check the
sold listings you guys will see some
that sell for good money these cars
especially vintage can go for good money
new ones
not so much from what i've seen i saw
this interesting gopro carrying one i
looked it up on amazon you'd only make
five cents after shipping definitely
wouldn't be worth it you'd be losing
money on it then of course there's the
fake knockoff ones right next to it so
there's not a lot of options here
but i found these jurassic world puzzles
and look at that you'd make two dollars
you have to buy a lot of three of them
and you'd make two bucks so spend three
to make two no it's not ideal but
hey you could still make money on them
pretty interesting i scanned the back of
one of them and it brought up all three
so i think they share the same barcode
somebody just created a listing on
amazon for the lot of three so if you
need to make a quick two bucks there you
go but we're not here for little profits
we're here for something a little bit
more and the rest of these puzzles well
they weren't cutting it they weren't
making any money so i had to switch up
my tactics i had to switch up where i
was going to go source and you know what
i've always done good in the food aisle
and i figured i'd check out some food i
see some pringles here but the cans
looked a little stubby to me they looked
a little short 4.6 ounces
you'll notice this a lot in dollar
stores
discount stores here's an actual size
5.96 ounces that's what's selling on
amazon so you got to keep an eye out for
these reduced sizes of candy or drinks
or food inside of these dollar stores
because sometimes
they're here for a reason the price is
lower because the quantity that you're
getting is lower so we don't really want
to mess with that i went and took a
quick look at the candy figuring hey you
know what these bags seem standard sized
looks like what i see in my grocery
store all the time never heard of this
brand wiley wallaby couldn't find it on
amazon but i did find these now and
laters and you'd make 73 cents so okay
yeah there's money to be made here again
not ideal we're not looking to spend a
dollar to make 50 cents after fees that
that is a 50 return not bad
you could definitely make some money on
these red cinnamon candies not a lot but
there is money to be made but keep an
eye out for the expiration date this
expired three months ago three months
ago this thing expired i don't know why
it's still on the shelf i don't think
they should be allowed to be selling
this it expired three months ago i
decided to check a few more this one
expires in 2021
so that's fine uh the next one over here
i believe expires in six months from now
so uh at the end of the year so not bad
november of 2019 so always keep an eye
out for sizes keep an eye out for
expiration dates food can be a little
more tricky because there's more
variables there
unlike
toys and other items and this is where i
start finding stuff guys this is where i
start to make the real money the book
section first book i scanned very first
one this disney weddings book look at
that i'm gonna make
2.96 on it and there were multiple of
these i just scanned the barcode right
on the back realize wow i can make three
bucks a book on these
some of them have this sticker over it
and when you scan this barcode nothing
comes up so you're gonna have to either
take a picture of the front of the book
through the amazon seller app or look up
the isbn number on the inside of the
cover i'll explain that more in a little
bit and we'll break it down but
some don't have the sticker and you
could scan them right away and some do
have the stickers so you do have to be
careful about that but in reality it
really doesn't take that much time i
found another book right here look at
that selling for twelve dollars i'd make
another two dollars and 79 cents per
book and there were multiple of these
books and directly next to it scan that
one right up look at that i'm gonna make
three dollars or four dollars and ninety
four cents on that book almost five
bucks this is where the real money is
and here's that isbn number that you
want to be looking up right there that's
the number you want to type into amazon
the book will pop right up and you'll
know if you're making money i couldn't
believe it i watched a few videos on
youtube like i said people saying the
books can be great at the dollar store
there is money to be made here
and one thing i want to show you guys
there's this little red mark on the
bottom of some of these books sometimes
it's red sometimes it's black but you
don't want to sell these books in new
condition they're not new they have a
sharpie mark on them but some of them
don't have that mark so keep an eye out
for that as well there's one with the
black sharpie mark you don't want to be
selling those on amazon as brand new
when they are clearly not they have a
sharpie mark on them now odds of you
getting in trouble for that are very
slim but
it's better to not take chances so just
be aware of that it's just something i'd
like to mention and i found even more
books stacked behind these now it's not
organized at all it's kind of messy but
you can see how small of an area it is
and how much potential money can be made
here i didn't scan them all
but i noticed some coloring books next
to it now i didn't think there was going
to be any money in these at all
i almost didn't even scan them i figured
yeah these are dollar store coloring
books but then i started noticing some
of them seem to be
you know actual
brand names we have disney right here
coco look at this look how much it's
selling for look how many there are
you're going to make about 33 dollars if
you bought them all 33 bucks in your
pocket not the fastest of sellers but
it's not a slow seller by any means and
there's a lot like this with littlest
pet shop dora the explorer uh paw patrol
all these big names and
some of them are worth good money take a
look at this despicable me 3. yeah the
rank is pretty high you don't want to
buy a lot of them but you're going to
make five dollars and 53 cents per and
look at there's
dozens of them and here's another one
that there were over 30 of these i
counted them and you're going to make a
dollar 68 each one it has a much better
rank 300 000 in toys which means it's
going to be selling much faster on
amazon so if i were to just sit here and
scan every single one of these which i
didn't do i could do i just didn't do it
this time but and i bought all the ones
that would make me profit i guarantee
you'd clear a hundred plus dollars
just in the book and coloring book
section it's pretty insane to me that
that section is the most valuable
section of this store i just i really
didn't believe it
uh but as you can see in the rest of the
store most things in here are gonna be
knock off brand it's gonna be things
that you don't really you're not really
gonna make any money on it it's just
stuff that's not worth it and i'm just
taking a quick loop around the front of
the store seeing if there's anything
else that stands out to me i'm noticing
more kool-aid pops more food items but
again you got to be careful with the
quantities the sizes the expiration
dates turned around i saw some dvds and
even blu-rays now none of them were
worth it for me to sell i can't even
sell them on amazon neither can most
everybody watching this video you will
be restricted amazon will not let you
sell dvds on their platform so i didn't
even bother looking them up now you
could sell things like that over on ebay
and there's nothing wrong with that but
in this video specifically we're just
looking at amazon and we're coming
around here coming up and finishing this
tour i was just a little surprised when
i noticed
four for a dollar on this baloney 25
cents if you guys are looking for some
baloney that's not a bad deal a quarter
of pop but honestly i couldn't believe
it when i came in here and saw that you
could turn you know
20 30 in the book section into over a
hundred dollars you're tripling your
money you're more than tripling it in
some instances it is insane guys
