West, Texas, 25-year-old speaks out about her hobby of thrifting, and the top deals she’s come across at Goodwill
A woman who said she recently bought an L.L. Bean jacket for $1.25 at a Goodwill store that’s worth way more than she paid for, is sharing her experience as an avid thrifter who finds high-end items for less.
“The puffers are really on trend as well, so I was excited to find those,” Gerik said. “I remember they were at the bottom of the bin and they were more considered probably a vintage style. I’m more of a modern reseller, but the green puffers, of course, the green is very on trend. I was able to sell [them] pretty quickly.”The cost of similar L.L. Bean jackets can range anywhere from $40 on eBay to upwards of $200-plus, according to Google Shopping search results.
Gerik said that although the green jackets weren’t her typical style, she knew she would be able to turn the jackets for profit relatively easily.The shopper found L.L. Bean jackets, which usually go for upwards of $250, for $1.25 at the Goodwill store.“I mainly sell on Instagram because of the fact that I can really cultivate a community rather than on Poshmark and eBay,” Gerik said. “On those, you don’t get to know the person. It’s just very much transactional.
“Plus overstock donations,” Gerik noted. “Sometimes they get so many donations at regular stores they will send [them] straight to the outlet and it won’t ever hit the floor. Of course you have to dig for it, but it’s a really fun experience and people get deals when I get deals.” Gerik currently is living in San Diego, California, where at the Goodwill Outlets she can purchase 15 items for $25, she said.
