Put Some Budget On It 

If you’re going into the thrift stores simply to find items to sell, you can’t do that with ten dollars. You’re going to need to put a little bit of money into it to make some money. The minimum that you should take with you is fifty dollars, but one-hundred is a much better number. It’s better to have more money than you need than not enough and miss out on something.

Find the Best Shops

Let’s face it. Some thrift stores carry better merchandise than others. In order to find those items to profit on, you’ll want to sniff out the best ones. While the not so good ones might have some items you want, you’ll do much better by picking the better stocked stores.

Find the Best Inventory

Depending on where you’re planning on selling, different items will sell quicker and at a better price than other places. Do some research on the site or store that you’re planning on selling at to see what their best selling items are. If clothing doesn’t sell well then skip it when you’re looking for inventory. If furniture sells like hot cakes, fill your inventory with it. Supply and demand will always fuel a retail business.
