Is Goodwill a thrift store? there's a big store close to me but i'm not too sure if ill find any cool item in there.
Here's by best deal last weekend. Logitech Driving Force GT racing wheel for $10. Works fine.
Some other recent deals I got are...
Apple Airport Express- $2
2011 Macbook Pro that needed just a new hard drive, use it as my main computer now - $50
Boba Fett Star Wars talking helmet- $2
which store did you get this? which thrift store.

Goodwill now ships most desirable items to a central distribution center to be auctioned at their own site. Good finds are few and far between so I seldom go.
Not true at all. I have found awesome stuff at my Goodwill normal stores and outlets.
I guess it's a regional thing. I was told by a store manager that any video games or lego (two things I'm looking for) go to shopgoodwill.com.

Yeah, it's a regional thing. Even then they don't pull everything that is worth finding. Trust me, they miss a ton of stuff, all the time. The bins is the best place to go. People donate directly to that location and that stuff is never sorted and goes straight to the floor. That's how you find the amazing finds at the bins. It's almost never stuff that was previously in stores and then made its way to the bins.
We have a regional "store" on their auction site here but I've still been able to find stuff locally. Heck, almost every time I go in I find something. I found this just the other day for around $2, my first Steiff plush ever...
holy..that bear must've been expensive as hell back in the day.
How do you guys find these great finds? I always find junk and madden games.

Here is a good example of what I do a lot. I love selling all kinds of hats. I find them all the time and most people don't place any sort of value on them at all. Today at a flea market I had someone just give me one because it was a little bit dirty. I bought this one this morning for $0.50 at a yard sale and it sold in less than six hours for $30. It isn't anything mindblowing, but it adds up over time. Besides, you can't beat when something sells that quick.
Nice! One person's trash is another's treasure.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Baten Kaitos Origins for $2 each at a yard sale about 3-4 years ago. I posted about it here but can't be bothered to look for it.
Electronics are less per pound than other types of item. I've no idea why

I went to a thriftstore yesterday, telling myself to buy only something "useful" yet I still ended up with this gnarly Tarot card deck. (The internets tells me it was made in either 1880 or 1905, based on an 1750's deck)
I'm hopeless, maybe I should use it to tell whether I'll ever be able not to buy wacky, usless stuff in the future...

where is the best place to sell hats? I've been trying to sell a few sports hats on Craigslist and OfferUp and not getting much interest, despite the cheap price.
I am totally jealous! I have collected Steiff since I was 18! My mother started collecting them when she was a kid and I always loved her collection, she gave me her collection on my 18th birthday and I have added tons more since that time.

On eBay, only eBay. You can do alright on Etsy as well but you will not get what you can get on eBay. It's useless to try to sell them on the local apps and FB Marketplace as well. The folks there just want them very cheap or they want them cheap to then flip them on eBay. It also depends on what you are trying to sell. Certain sports hats just aren't going to bring a lot period.
Here is another one I sold earlier today...
That is amazing! How many do you have now? It must be some collection!
Probably the "VTG" tag in the description.
