How to Find Bargains at Second-Hand Stores

How to Find Bargains at Second-Hand Stores



Learn what to look for in second-hand stores that will ensure you get a great deal and maybe even something that you'll want to sell on eBay.









Step
1



Go on into the second-hand store. If you see bare shelves, this place might be picked over, but if you see full shelves, the store could be a bit pricey. I would suggest to stay away from medium-sized towns. Stick to big city ones and small town ones. But check them all out, because you might just find one that rocks.




Step
2



Go to the area of the store that caught your eye when you walked in. There is a reason why it did that; you might just find something interesting.




Step
3



Always pick up something you "might" buy. If you don't it might not be there when you come back for it.




Step
4



Go on over to the women's dresses, the guy's suits, then the accessories. You will find things there that might be for you and your style or you might be able to re-sell on eBay.




Step
5



Some second-hand stores allow haggling. Do it. You might be able to get an even better deal.




Step
6



As soon as you get home, wash the clothes or dry-clean them.




Step
7



Keep the clothes you want to wear, and post the rest on eBay. You might be able to make your money back on your little second-hand shopping spree.







Tips & Warnings









Strike up a conversation with the cashier, as they might know of an interesting shipment and they might tip you off.








Look over the item carefully for holes or anything you can't fix.
