I'm a thrift shopper

May 22, 2023

A LUCKY thrift shopper has scored a pair of expensive designer shoes for just $4 that he plans to sell for hundreds.

Influencer Stay Focused Frank hit it big during a shopping trip at a local secondhand store.

The YouTuber, who regularly posts videos of his sneaker finds, sped immediately to the shoe section after entering the doors of Salvation Army.

After scanning rows and rows of dark dress shoes and boots, Frank spotted a white pair of high-top Nike's with a striking red swoosh.

He wrote in the video that they were a pair of Jordan 1 KO's and could be sold for $100 to $120.

"I'm taking these," he said with excitement.

Next, he got his hands on the real star of the show - a pair of Balenciaga Knit Sneakers.

The iconic black and white sock-like shoes can be resold for a whopping $400 to $450, according to the YouTuber, and he scored them for four bucks.

"That's a steal," he said before continuing his shopping spree.

Shoved under one shoe rack, Frank noticed a lone Nike that appeared to be in mint condition.

He jumped into action and raced around the store to find the rest of the pair after realizing the orange and brown shoe was a Nike Dunk Low.

"This is like brand new," he said while pacing the thrift store.

However, his luck ran out when he panned the camera to show that a girl had already grabbed the other shoe and was walking with it.

Stay Focused Frank has created his own website where his followers can purchase sneakers but many other thrift shoppers use Depop or Poshmark.

If you want to make some quick cash off Goodwill finds, you can create an account for free and start the hunt for trendy clothing.

You could also check your own closet or ask friends and family to donate any unwanted items for you to sell.

Try to get as many items as you can at no cost or for very little as when you sell them, your profit will be larger.

Once you have your items, take and upload high-quality images of each item.

Next, create a description for the product you’re selling, and set your price.

Sellers can set the price at whatever amount they choose, but it’s smart to check comparable sold products, also knowns as comps.

This is where you find similar products on the site and check how much they’ve sold for.

Once you attract a buyer and sell the item, it’s important to make sure before you package it so that nothing is damaged in transit.

Lastly, print the shipping label and drop it in the mail.
