Found a High School Musical Playset While Thrifting Goodwill!

Todays video covers some trash picking as well as two days of thrift finds. Sometimes I find it difficult to decide on what the main focal point of the video title and thumbnail should be about. I decided to make it the High School Musical Playset that I picked up at Goodwill for $9.99.

I did not know much about this item or the movie, just that my wife and daughter watch it more often than I like. lol. So I did a quick comp check on the eBay app in the Goodwill store and saw some good numbers. I don’t really want to mess with shipping this thing, so I will probably sell it on Facebook Marketplace or try my hand at eBay with local pickup.

We did find some nice items trash picking as well in this video. I did not pick up everything I came across but did end up keeping 2 items. Check out the video to see what they were:

Sales overall in January started out strong on eBay for us and then over the last few days started to slow down just a bit. So I am down maybe 10-12% over the previous 30 day period. That is not so bad considering this is January compared to December.

I have started to push local sales again more like I did over the summer in 2019. Items that I find trash picking are great to sell on Facebook Marketplace. Also some larger items that I find at Goodwill like the High School Musical Playset that I found in this video. So those larger item local sales will make up any loss in sales on eBay this month for me. I am trying to diversify my income as much as I can since I cannot control what happens with each platform.
