 look where I am. Okay I am here with Mary and Mary and I met on YouTube slash Facebook and we had this planned a year ago that we were gonna go to the Goodwill Bend and we were gonna have a challenge so we're gonna go into the store we're gonna shop around and we're gonna show you what we got and you guys you guys get to decide who had the best haul. Okay Mary show us your receipt. I spent $17.47. Okay. Okay what did Courtney Bullo buddy spend at the bins? For $28.20. Okay so Mary watches my YouTube channel and we figured out that we live about 45 minutes from each other and we decided we wanted to go to the bins and have a challenge. This is completely 100% just a friendly challenge. You guys are welcome to vote in the comments but it's just for fun there is no actual winner. Now Mary has never been to the bins and I've only been there a few times so it should be fun. I'm gonna show you some footage of me digging through the bins and at the end of the video we go to Mary's trunk and we show you what we got. We told you at the beginning how much we spent so I spent a little more but you're gonna actually see what we actually decided to keep and then you guys can put in the comments who you think won. It's kind of tricky because I spent quite a bit more than she did so I got a lot more stuff so please keep that in mind also. All right let's get started. Okay Bola Buddies here we go. So that's like a new new item right there right off the bat that's what I found. So let's talk about our situation. So Mary is subscribed to my channel and like I said we figured out that we lived close and we decided we were gonna do this bins challenge. We literally had it scheduled. I think we were supposed to go that Saturday and it was like maybe a Wednesday or something like that and the governor started making announcements that things were shutting down and I'm like what? I'm like all right Mary you know let's just kind of wait until this all is over and you know we'll go and I'm thinking a month maybe two and then things will be back to normal. Oh here we are a year later finally doing our Goodwill Bins Challenge. Unbelievable. So this is Mary's first time at the bins. I have been to the bins a few times. I do have some other videos if you go to my YouTube channel and search the word bins you can find those videos. Typically I don't find a whole lot. The bins just has not been that great to me. So we went today in this video not today when I'm recording this but and there were people standing outside waiting to get in. So we got there right when it opened and I'm like oh my goodness this place is gonna be packed in an hour but actually the people that were waiting that was about all. I mean I didn't notice a bunch of people coming in but I really wasn't watching the door. So anyway look how cute this little thing. Is that a porcupine? Me and Mary were trying to figure out if this was a possum or a porcupine. Are those it is that the same thing? No I don't know. That's awful. Okay so this poo I put him in my cart but you'll see what happens. There's something that happens with the poo bear. All right so I'm digging and I'm telling you there was a lot of stuff this time and I'm gonna show you quite a bit of footage because I was having a good time and I was taking my time and I want you guys to let me know. There's Mary she's over at another bin she wasn't trying to like take my stuff but then I was thinking I wonder if she's got the good stuff over on her side. There's a big pep of the pig house which is probably a good find but I didn't want to ship it so I just left that behind. Do you guys ever do that? Are you like oh it's a good item I should buy it but I don't want to ship it. I do it all the time. I'm so guilty of that. All right so I did find quite a bit of stuff. As you can see in the beginning of the video I spent $28 and at this Goodwill it's a $1.59 a pound for everything except the books. I think the books were 59 cents a pound. I was checking out the movies. You just never know there might be one that's sealed. I would pick up a DVD if it was sealed. Oh wait until you guys see what I find. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Lots of big items. You know I guess if I sold on Facebook Marketplace maybe some of this stuff I could have picked up but I don't do a whole lot of Facebook Marketplace. I have tried the Facebook Marketplace with shipping but I don't know it's just I'm not feeling it. You know I'm trying. I sold one thing but I don't know it's just it seems like a lot. I already crossed post my items from eBay to Mercari and Poshmark and I've even been slacking on Etsy but I list a lot so just to get it on two more platforms is a lot for me to try to maintain. I do use List Perfectly which you guys know if you watch me. I absolutely love List Perfectly and I cannot talk. It is an extension that helps you cross post your items and I do have a video that shows you how to do that. I have quite a few videos because I love it. Definitely check that out if you're interested in getting your items on multiple platforms because it makes it so much faster and if you decide you want to try it I do have a coupon referral code. It is Bolo Buddies all one word and that will get you 30% off your first month which is awesome and I've been using it for over a year. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't use it and love it. So I did put that in my cart that little poo. I like Disney toys. I put this in my cart also. I don't know you know the craze with the Pokemon is it Pokemon or Pokemon? Man or Mon? I think it's Pokemon. Like some of that stuff like I think the cards are really hot right now so I was like maybe somebody will want the DVD. It's $1.59 a pound so it's probably gonna cost me 20 cents so I just went ahead and grabbed it and again at the end of the video you guys are gonna see we're gonna go over to Mary's trunk which she cleaned out and she's gonna show her stuff and then I'm gonna show my stuff and you guys can vote in the comments. So it's just fun. It's just something fun to do. I think it's really cool that it's somebody that I'm meeting for the first time that subscribed to my channel and she leaves comments and she shares on Pinterest and she's become a good friend and yeah I think we'll do this again because we had a really fun time. We went here and then connected to this building is a thrift store a Goodwill thrift store which is really cool. So we did go over there and we found some more goodies some good stuff. That video will be on my main channel also along with this one. So my new channel is called Sourcing with Bolo Buddies and most of the items like this if it's just me sourcing are gonna be on that channel. This one I'm involving somebody else in the challenge so I'm gonna put this on my main channel and then you know so just trying to mix it up a little bit but I don't want a ton of sourcing channels on this channel anymore. I'm gonna try to put those over on the other channel so if you're not subscribed please go over and check that out. I do have a link down in the description of the video that will tell you how to find that channel. Alright you guys have you seen anything that I have passed up because I'm telling you these bins were full. That's a Christmas ornament you guys know I love Christmas ornaments so I did pick that up. It probably cost me what 10 cents 15 cents super lightweight. Definitely a bread and butter item. I'm not gonna make a lot of money on it but it all adds up. I say that all the time when I do my bread and butter videos it all adds up. I don't know what oh I think that was I think it said MGA so maybe it was like Bratz or I don't know do you guys know I didn't get a really good picture of it I think that pool goes with it but it did say MGA so I'm thinking probably Bratz dolls or LOL maybe it was LOL I don't think so I don't know I'm not I'm not an expert at toys yet I'm learning I'm getting better I definitely love selling them. I almost dumped that whole game out that would have been really bad. So that's a little live pets I don't know if you guys have heard of those I usually pick those up when I find them anything that says for real or live pets that is an accessory sometimes people lose the accessories and they'll they just need that so they'll buy it so I do pick those up when I see them they are usually a bread and butter item but I don't mind bread and butter there's days when I hardly sell anything that's big money and it's all bread and butter but at the end of the day it all adds up to a pretty decent day and I'm really thankful for that bread and butter because if I didn't have the bread and butter in my store I wouldn't have sold anything you know so you can't always sell big money items I think this goes with a game I saw it right after I sat it down I don't know if it actually gets in the frame yep there it is it's that gymnastics game that's like a little purse I mean there was lots of junk but I did find some good stuff that I'm pretty excited about I don't think I found anything that is like oh my goodness a big money Bolo but that set it retailed for $47.99 and I like angels but I have so much Christmas stuff to list so I left that one behind I put this in my cart and there's actually another one there was like a turtle and I'm not sure what that guy was actually I left him and then I found the turtle and I went back for it you'll see me do this because I was thinking I could sell them as a lot but they were kind of dirty and I was like I'm gonna have to clean them and I looked up comps and the comps weren't like a home run so I'm like it's just not worth the effort so I went ahead and left that behind I probably should have looked at those cassettes maybe there was something good there but I didn't all right we're just gonna keep looking here it's weird doing a voiceover because you're kind of like looking back and reflecting it like oh maybe I should have grabbed that oh I missed that or I don't remember seeing that or why on earth did I buy that do you ever do that you get home and you're like what was I thinking I do that I do that a lot sometimes you know you just feel like you want to buy stuff but I've been trying to be more cautious of that conscientious maybe that's the word I want cautious conscientious oh boy this is like origami paper and I put this in my car and then I was like I don't know I mean I don't think it's complete but there was a lot of paper okay so then I go up here and I find whoa whoa oh I dropped my phone that's right I find more of the paper but it looked like it had like mold or dirt or something on it so I took the origami paper back out of my cart okay here's the turtle and I went back and grabbed the other guy but again I did end up putting these back they were a no-go for me if they would have been clean and in better condition I would have got them so I put them in my cart and then I took them out of my cart I do that a lot at the bends also what do you guys do at the bends do you like fill your cart and then look up comps or do you just buy everything and just go home and be like it's cheap enough I can just buy it and then donate it if it doesn't comp out do you stand in the store and look up comps let me know what you do when you're at the bends how do you how do you check your items and are you allowed to record at your good will bends I don't know if you're allowed to record here I don't record people in my videos I keep my phone I just hold it really close to my body and I face it down and I don't film any people I've never had anyone say anything to me I think most places are pretty cool about it check this out so I did look up comps on this guy and they're actually pretty good I believe it's like a Disney Cup I don't think it's Mark Disney I didn't look at it good enough but I did look up comps on eBay I think his name is Sven SV EN is how you say it and he's from the movie Frozen that is actually a cup that you put a straw in so I don't know if it came from like an event or I am not really sure but typically they sell things like that but the comps were pretty good on that not like crazy good but definitely you know a higher-end bread and butter this thing helped me out here if anybody knows what it is it says Mattel on the bottom but it also says matchbox it does have lights and sound you'll see I did end up picking it up I show you at the end of the video but I'm not sure if it's functioning correctly so I'm going to try to find a YouTube video that shows me how that works but so far I have been unsuccessful with finding comps and I will say that that item was pretty heavy so I probably did pay quite a bit for that one well quite a bit in the realm of Goodwill Ben's prices you know it was heavy maybe three four bucks so I'm hoping it's going to be a a bolo but even if it's not I should be able to make my money back all right you guys I definitely want your feedback okay you see this little thing at first sight I thought this was Victoria's Secret you can see I'm like really looking at it because I have sold one that is Victoria's Secret before and it sold super fast but that one was just a no-name brand that I'd or a brand that was common or I didn't know I can't remember but it was not Victoria's Secret so I did throw it back but that's why I was looking at it is because I had sold something like it before it was bread and butter but it sold quick and I like bread and butter that sells quick it's easy to list and then I just sell it quick and ship it out I did pick up that little guy too I can't remember who that is but I love selling toys my concern is is that I'm selling more and more toys and I'm wondering if my viewers like seeing toys or if they like more variety so once garage sale season starts up again I will be getting more and more items that are not just toys but I've been picking up a lot of toys lately I'm kind of in a toy mood right now so and you'll see my haul at the end I got a lot of toys I could not get this thing unhooked it was just like twisted around the wheel and I'm trying to hold my phone and I finally turned off my phone and unhooked it I almost bought this but I put it back the comps weren't great it probably would have been like seven bucks oh my gosh you guys look what I found oh my goodness did you see that did you see it I'll show you at the end of the video I bought it I can't believe I found it do you sense my sarcasm we'll come back to that all right let's see what else I found do you guys like these types of videos like is it relaxing is it entertaining let me know what types of thrift videos you like so obviously I started my new channel sourcing with Bolo Buddies so let me know what types of videos you guys want me to put over on that channel again this video would typically be on that channel if it was just me but because Mary's involved I want to put it on the main channel I am gonna link her store down in the description of the video along with mine that are down there also so I'm trying to pass this cart and he's going the wrong way and I'm like can't get through and I'm like why can't I get through oh it's because he's going the wrong way like the arrows tell you which way to go and his cart is facing the wrong way anyway I finally got through I just left my cart back at the end and then I just passed him he's like I'll turn around I'm like okay please just turn your cart so I can get past you anyway it worked out but he definitely wasn't following the arrows which I wasn't following the arrows either until Mary's like hey Courtney there are arrows you have to follow the arrows I'm like oh yes we now live in a world where we have arrows and aisles and we wear masks and I don't know what this is from but I picked it up I feel like it could be something bread and butter at the very least so I did get that and I'm not telling you every item that I picked up just a few here and there just to keep the keep it moving along so I have something to talk about that is a Paul Patrol vehicle which I really like selling Paul Patrol I do well with it it can be bread and butter but the sea patrol if you've watched some of my what solds I have done really well with the sea patrol so definitely be on the lookout for those I think those sold on Mercari really really well and fast there's some more Paul Patrol so I'm going all the way back to my cart and you can see the guy moved so I was able to get my cart and get my stuff in it there's another Paul Patrol so yeah I mean these are name brand toys I did pick this up I think it's one of those things that nesting nesting doll that's the word that is the word that's a bill to bear I do have one of these listed and I have mine kind of listed high I think it's called la la lopsie or something like that but the one I have has all of its clothing on and Mary actually did comps on that and it didn't comp out very high without the clothes so we both left that one behind alright let's see what else we have what else did we get it was a it was a fun trip it was so nice to just get out and go to the bends now this is a bill to bear and it is a frozen bill to bear I also have one of those listed and I have mine listed kind of high mine has a dress on and it's more blue and glitter that one only had the shorts and the underwear and I almost put it in my cart and then I was like I have so much plush to list so I left it behind and yeah we'll talk about that later that was a really cool puzzle if that would have been sealed I totally would have grabbed it it was a German shepherd so it would have appealed to people who have a German shepherd and to people that like puzzles so that was definitely definitely a cool one but it was not sealed and I am not buying a puzzle from the bends that is not sealed would you buy a puzzle from the bends that's not sealed have you what did you do did you put it together did you count the pieces let me know I just feel like they could get dumped out so easily and then somebody could put the lid back on and you'd never know the difference so alright let's see oh here's an ornament do you think I got it do you think it will be in my haul at the end of the video I put it in my cart oh no I'm gonna have to turn the camera which that will make no sense to you guys because I'm going to do that all right let's see what else we have here we have some hangers this bag was sitting there with stuff in it which I'm really surprised by that I'm surprised they don't dump things like that out because who knows what could be in there you know what I mean kind of scary but they didn't dump it and I am realizing how long this video is because I'm doing a voiceover and it's taking forever gosh I hope you guys are not bored if you're completely bored just fast forward to the end so you can see what we got let me know are you bored or do you are you having fun do you like this I imagine if you're watching it you like these types of videos because you guys are probably on a treasure hunt right now but I just never know so I'm curious I'm curious let me know in the comments here's a tip those puzzles right there those wood puzzles those are typically a bread butter item but if you lot two or three of them up as long as you stay under five pounds and put them on Mercari I'm sorry not Mercari on Poshmark there's one flat fee for items on Poshmark if it's five pounds or less so I mean you can probably do like three for 15 or something like that it would definitely be bread and butter but you'd probably not be very successful selling it on eBay or Mercari because of the shipping fees so heavy items a lot of times that is what I will do I will put them on Poshmark I lost my train of thought just make sure it's not over five pounds and I have a video on what to do if your package weighs more than five pounds you can search my YouTube channel for that if you guys are interested alright let's see what else I can find those glasses check those out make sure they weren't like some Gucci or I don't know just Gucci even make sunglasses Oakley Oakley makes sunglasses are Oakley's still like popular I don't know I always liked Oakley's I think I have a pair of Oakley's I picked this guy up he's cool he's a little dino I think he's a dino oh gotta turn my camera all right we are getting towards the end I think is that a pine cone oh I grabbed this hippo I like hippos it's like a Disney character I believe so if they don't have enough value as a bread and butter item a lot of those items I can pick up and I can sell them for 10 $15 you would be surprised even cake toppers and you guys if you're watching my bread and butter videos you've seen me sell these little characters for decent money it's definitely definitely possible for sure to make money on one single toy item that you would look at and think it has no value it's just all in a matter of where you want to put your time and what you're comfortable with look at that little guy I don't think I got him I probably should have you just never know use that Google lens and look those toys up because you might be really surprised there was one item it was like a moth and I think I sold it for over $20 and it was like three inches by three inches by like a half inch or a quarter of an inch it was little this was kind of cute I probably should have got that there were two of them I probably should have got them I think they were just target brand but they were really cute I should have got them darn it darn it darn it darn it would you guys have got those if they were target brand I mean I don't know if it was part of a set this is kind of like Christmasy items here you guys know I like Christmas stuff oh pep of the pig did I pick it up did I put it in my cart did I buy it comment below comment before the end and let me know if I got the pep of the pig car what is that I don't know what these guys are I think those were just McDonald's toys that was kind of I don't know these ornaments sometimes I I think I get a little crazy with the ornaments just because they're so easy to list and I do so well with some of them but also some of them sit so I need to be more careful with the ornaments I think all right we're getting to the end you guys and then you get to see what we got yeah almost $10 difference in what we spent which at $1.59 a pound that definitely I think I had two bags look at my cart my cart is filling up I walk over to Mary and she's like oh my gosh you have so much stuff I'm like I know I know alright I think I'm getting ready to walk over to Mary when you guys are at the bends do you pick up DVDs and do you test them if they're not sealed because that is a concern of mine is that I would get something and it would be completely scratched and I just wouldn't feel comfortable selling I guess I use DVD unless I sold them in a lot if I sold them in a lot I think that would be okay because yeah you could probably pick up like I don't know 50 DVDs for probably pretty cheap that's an idea I don't know I would feel awful if people got them and they they didn't work I keep saying we're almost to the end because I feel like we should be almost to the end but I can't delete sections now I don't think because I think it'll mess up my voice over I don't know I'm kind of new to the editing editing but I didn't want to like watch it and then do the voice over like edit and then do the voice over because then it would have taken me like four hours all right we're getting there let's see I don't think there's anything exciting in this section but I could be wrong I don't really recall do you guys pick up the hangers that's a good question for people that sell clothing if you see hangers at the bends do you pick them up and I did not even look at the clothing do you guys look at clothes when you go to the bends I didn't look at the shoes I didn't look at the clothes I didn't look at the books I really just stuck with the hard goods that's really what I like I'm trying to get out of clothing so yeah let me know your favorite part of the bends to search comment below I know some people have walked out of the bends with some crazy good clothing finds okay she had no idea I was recording her I snuck up on her okay this poo bear I put back because he had a hole and right before we were leaving I checked a bin I had already looked at and look what I found I couldn't get him to work so I'm gonna change the batteries and see if I can get him to work all right let's check out our halls okay Mary show us your receipt I spent $17.47 okay let's see what you got okay I got these third edition GRE flash cards okay for test prep I got this bag of smart max magnets okay and this these look like cards that went to a yeah part of a game and so I figure if they're different and here is an angel and this is Roman and the original price was 47 and it does work okay I love treetoppers this is the Elsa Bill de Bear says Elsa and it's got you know the clothes and that'll make it worth more this is a Barbie tractor it may be vintage I'll have to check but it looks maybe from the 90s oh it's 2017 okay but that's okay people still I like how it's got the little thing that holds the Barbie on it oh yeah that is cute this is a carnival frame if you somebody went on a cruise and forgot to buy a frame Nancy drew I used to read when I was a kid and somebody's got written in there 1970 okay we go to mass this is an a puzzle book and I checked to make sure it was complete and being that we're in Lent I thought people might be looking for those kinds of things okay there is a Paw Patrol game and checkers or chess checkers this yeah it was this looks like chess yes and then it's got it's got the pieces it looks like it's a nice condition all right rules huge according to my grandson and this is just a minion stable cloth and I've sold minions before so I figured three cents so all right okay let's see what Bolo buddies Courtney got okay all right what my face though okay what did Courtney Bolo buddies spend at the bins for $28 and 20 cents okay let's see what you got all right I got this light and motion Paul Mark ornament I believe it's vintage have to see if it works I got a bunch I got this life accessory so that'll be a good bread and butter item this Coca-Cola again bread and butter but I couldn't pass it out I love ornaments per Adler I got this cup of the pig car this guy I just thought was cute unfortunately it has some writing right here is this a porky pine what is this guy anybody know okay now here's the other one that I'm stumped by I feel like it could be special but I could be wrong it's like a matchbox and I turned it off it might be broke who knows I'm gonna have to so we'll have to see what that actually maybe I can look at up on YouTube I got these blackout curtains that are new old stock so well I don't even know if they're old stock but I can just scan the barcode okay you guys I know you're all gonna be so jealous VHS the little mermaid it's sealed one of these went for thousands of dollars okay I'm just kidding but it is sealed and I have had decent luck with sealed VHS it does have some cracking but I more about it just to make a funny joke I did get that okay next bag where this guy is from but I he just seemed like he could be something special he's Fisher price Mattel 2009 so I gotta figure out what maybe he's toy story he actually does kind of look like toy story I got I love picking up Paul patrol so I got I think it's guy I would say sky yeah we can ask my grandson this Batman thing you guys I love selling toys I don't know what this is but I think it's cute it's a little Disney he talks I think he may do something else but he may not work so that one was questionable this is a cup and it's dirty but at least you figured out the cup but the comps I did look this one up on in when I was inside and they were pretty decent this is some sort of transformer toy I got a Furby it's not a super old one but these do still sell I don't know it's not working right now it may need a battery or it may not work but I don't know there's Furby people that know how to fix them so we'll see if that works I know Pokemon can be like something that people like I just grabbed it because it was probably like 20 cents I'll look it up Robo dog I believe is this guy I've sold him before he's usually a Bolo because he is harder to find and when I say Bolo bread and butter Bolo but I should be able to do pretty well on that I don't know what this is from but it looks like a dinosaur so I grabbed it I'm gonna have to look that one up a couple more little dinos I don't know if those are I don't know what those are from Tommy is the brand and they look like a set so probably sell those together a Paw Patrol I've sold these before they're like little transformer cars is I think from Moana I've sold the pig before I do pretty well with these little things they are major bread and butter but that's okay this is another Paw Patrol this is one of those things that you they stack and I don't know if it's vintage or not but I thought it was cute I just noticed it has a little dent this guy is I think a Disney character so again I I love toys a Paw Patrol and then I don't remember what character that is but I feel like I've sold it before so that is my Goodwill Benz $1.59 a pound haul be sure to check out
