Thrift Store Tuesday

Welcome to another week of resale bargain shopping! (I know, I forgot last week - I remembered Wednesday when we were out shopping! So sorry!)

So this week's question: Have you ever bought something at a thrift store or resale shop and re-sold or traded it, either on eBay or at a consignment shop?

I picked up a pair of Lip Service jeans a few years ago that were guys jeans (and way too small for DH) for $1, and resold them on eBay for $42. That paid for our thrift shopping for a few trips. ;) So how about you?

Here's our find of the week. Yes, DH was incredibly giddy. I wish these had been $1 but they had them priced at $6.99 each - ouch! He had been looking for these original Nintendo Ninja Gaiden games for ages, and of course we aren't about to pass on anything Addams Family related. ;)


So did you score anything good this week?

I cannot stand the smell of thrift stores for some reason, and I don't go to them. I know--strange, but they have a musty smell.

Oh my gosh, you are totally taking me back with those games. My brother had dozens of them.

I've never though to buy something at a thrift store and reselling it on ebay. Way to be resourceful!
