I REALLY do try not to bring home clothing to resell…but apparently this vintage Jantzen “grandpa cardigan” didn’t get the memo. 😂

I spotted it at the thrift store the other day and just couldn’t leave it behind.

It’s in beautiful condition and honestly doesn’t look like it was worn much at all.

That little blue-and-gold crest caught my eye too — very old-school preppy.

Would you have picked this one up, or am I slowly becoming a clothing reseller against my will? 😄

What are some good keywords I should use?

Just another Goodwill wander… a pendulum wall clock, an old picnic basket that has definitely seen some things, a toaster oven, a microwave — and then one little suitcase-looking case at the end caught my attention.

Kind of a neat find!

Would you have stopped for the record player?

Well, if you’re trying to list, shop, ship, or check sales on Vinted right now… apparently we’re all on a forced break. 😅

The U.S. site is currently showing a downtime message due to technical issues.

Hopefully they get things back up and running soon — anyone else seeing this too?

Spotted this little sign while I was out thrifting, and for some reason it stopped me in my tracks.

Sometimes we get so focused on what we still haven’t done that we forget to look back at how far we’ve already come.

I think this was a good reminder for me today — maybe someone else needs it too. ❤️

What’s something you’re proud of yourself for getting through, even if you didn’t give yourself much credit for it at the time?

Wait Until You See What Was Taped Up at the End!!

This Goodwill aisle had a little bit of everything — lamps, décor, adult diapers… and then I spotted a box with two vintage West German cuckoo clocks for $20. 😳

The only problem? The box was taped up like Fort Knox, so there was no telling whether they were complete, working, or hiding a pile of loose parts.

Would you have taken the $20 gamble?

Pretty glassware, colorful dishes, random décor…and then we arrive at the shoe department, where apparently $9.99 is the answer no matter what the shoe looks like or how dirty it is. 😂

Clean, scuffed, worn, questionable—you name it, $9.99!

At what point does a $9.99 thrift-store shoe become a hard pass for you?

Vinted sellers: Selecting USPS-only may NOT mean USPS-only! 😳

Some of you seasoned Vinted sellers may already know this, but it was definitely news to me!

My settings are USPS only, but Vinted still allowed a buyer to select FedEx on a very small sale!

This is in their “fine print”.

Since I don’t have a convenient FedEx location where I can get an acceptance receipt, I had to cancel the order.

If you only ship with certain carriers, it might be worth adding that clearly to your listings so buyers know before checkout.

I am now adding the following to my Vinted listings: “Please select USPS at checkout. I’m unable to ship via FedEx, UPS, or other carriers.”

At least there was one bright spot — since FedEx wasn’t an option I had turned on, Vinted says I shouldn’t get negative feedback for having to cancel the sale.

Has a Vinted buyer ever selected a shipping carrier you had turned off in your settings?

I normally don’t get too excited about selling clothing, but new with tags + multiples + a $1 buy-in?

That I can work with. 😂

Our Walmart rarely has great clearance, so finding these Athletic Works tops marked down from $7.98 to just $1 was a pretty nice surprise—and yes, I stocked up.

They may not be huge-profit items individually, but when you can list multiples efficiently, those smaller sales do add up!

Just passing it along in case your Walmart is doing some serious markdowns too.

Do multiples make a low-profit item worth it for you?

Cart shot of the day! 🛒

I couldn’t resist this wooden shadowbox cabinet—it’s already filled with some vintage treasures: ceramic, glass, pewter, and brass pieces that look like they’ve been waiting for their next chapter 💙

It’s the kind of find that makes you stop mid‑aisle and whisper, “Okay, this is my kind of weird.” 😄

What’s one item you’ve picked up that instantly made you imagine its past life—or the kind of person who owned it?

09/02/2026

One fresh Goodwill cart and somehow we went from an elaborate crocheted dress on a vintage doll…to a tooled leather saddle… to colorful glassware and a shadow box cabinet full of tiny treasures!

This is exactly why I always have to look when a new cart rolls out—you truly never know what they’ve piled on there.

Which one would have stopped you in your tracks first?
