She Thrifts

Thrift. Flip. Repeat.

Who Am I? Disney Plush ID

by 17 Comments

We had a bit of down time between my boys’ basketball games on Saturday, so we stopped by a Goodwill. The first time I have been thrifting this year! I checked out the plush first, of course. It was painfully overpriced (most of the plush I was interested in were priced at $6.99 each(!), too much for me). But, those plush that had run their course and had not sold appeared to be bagged up and sold as a lot for $2.99. That’s more my speed. It was kinda hard to see what all was included, but I went ahead and picked up a couple of those plush bag lots, figuring I could at least make my money back.

So, the following two plush both have Disney tags . . . and I don’t recognize either one! I spent a fair amount of time looking this afternoon to no avail. Does anyone recognize them?

Here are a few of my favorite flips from the past week.

Clothes will never be my favorite thing to sell, but they definitely help pay the bills.  Whenever I find WHBM I take a second look.  I don’t always buy it, but some of their pieces are really pretty, like this dress.

WHBM dress
Paid: $2 @ VV, Sold on sale: $22.95 (11 days after listed)

I bought this jacket at a yard sale last summer where literally EVERYTHING cost a quarter!

VTG Lakers Men’s Jacket
Paid: $0.25 @ ys, Sold: $45.95 + shipping (listed since August, 2017)

Considering I never even figured out what brand this lovey was, it was a decent flip.


Frog Lovey
Paid: $1.00 @ consignment sale, Sold: $24.95 (listed since May, 2017)

One of the mice had a flaw (torn/repaired foot),
otherwise I would have held out for more.


3 Cinderella Mice Plush
Paid: $2 @ GW, BO Accepted: $23 + shipping (listed since December, 2017)

BIG Purple Granny Squares Quilt
Paid: $4.99 @ GW, BO Accepted: $40 + shipping (listed since July, 2017)

I got this mug out of a free box at a yard sale last summer.

4 Baby Signs DVD Fun Packs
Paid: $10ish? @ VV, Sold on sale: $36.75 + shipping (listed since November, 2017)


Did you have any fun sales this week?  I’d love to hear about them!

August Goals

by 9 Comments

Oh, summer, how I love you.  Yard sales, blueberries, Big Brother.  And yet, the days are slipping by in a jumble of park play dates and soccer and swimming lessons, and I am not accomplishing anywhere near what I think I should.  Is it just me, or is it just life?

I made my listing goal for July, though!  It was a low listing goal, and I made it with only two hours to spare, but I still consider it a win.  July was decent to me sales-wise.  I had sales every day, and even had one double-digit (just 10, but it counts!) sales day.  This month I am going to bump up my goal a bit, but not too far.  We’ve got a lot of family fun planned for this month, so I know things are going to be a bit hectic.   


My plush sales have rebounded recently, and it is once again my top-selling category.  I’ve still been selling a lot of maternity clothing, and even found and sold another Left Behind book lot.

Phoenix Folkmanis Puppet
Paid: $2 @ ys; Sold: $44.95 (second month listed)
Janie & Jack 2T/3T Jacket
Paid: $3 @ consignment sale; Sold: $24.95 (third month listed)
Classic Pooh Plush Lot
Paid: $3 @ ys, Sold: $27.95 (2 days later)
James Jeans Maternity Jeans
Paid: $1 @ sale; Sold: $24.95 (7 days later)
Left Behind Paperback Book Lot
Paid: $5 @ ys; Sold: $44.95 (30 days later)

It’s been several weeks since I did one of these posts.  Here are some of my favorite sales from the end of February.

I picked this up at GW several months ago, and it has been riding around in the trunk of the car my husband drives ever since.  We swapped cars last week, and since it was home I took it out and snapped some photos.  I was just planning to list it on Craigslist, but when I searched for it on eBay I couldn’t find any.  I thought I would try listing it high there too, and it sold in less than a day.

Little People Ride On Firetruck
Paid: $4.99 @ GW
Sold: $49.95 – shipping

I dug out my other tote of PVC toys and have been working on getting them listed.  When I looked this item up on eBay I could only find one other listed for $50 + shipping, but didn’t find any that had actually sold.  I listed it lower, and it sold overnight – maybe I listed it too low!

Sleeping Beauty PVC Toy
Paid: $5 for a tote full at a yard sale last summer
Sold: $19.95 – shipping

I listed this lot around the same time, and it also sold in about a day.

7 Cinderella PVC lot
Paid: $5 for a tote full at a yard sale last summer
Sold: $19.95 – shipping

And this one:


Cinderella PVC Mouse Lot
Paid: $5 for a tote full at a yard sale last summer
Sold: $12.50 – shipping
This was in a bag of Legos I picked up somewhere (VV maybe?)
I pulled this piece out to sell separately.

Lego Conveyor Belt
Paid: ? @ ?
Sold: $16.50 – shipping

This sold in about a day . . . twice.  The first buyer never paid.  The second did – it was my first time shipping to Puerto Rico (no different than shipping to the U.S.)  His head was HUGE!  It was hard to find a box that it would fit in.

Stewie/Family Guy Plush
Paid: $1.49 @ Value Village
Sold: $29.95 – shipping


No idea when/where I picked this up.  It ended up in the eBay pile when I was cleaning out my son’s drawers recently.

Lands’ End Bunting/Snowsuit
Paid: ? @ ?
Sold: $19.95 – shipping

 This guy was big – approx 22″ tall.

Bright Heart Raccoon Care Bear Cousin
Paid $2 at local thrift store.
Sold $34.95 + shipping to Australia

Little People Camping Set.  This was darned cute, and in great condition!
Little People Camping Set
Paid: ? @ yard sale
Sold: $29.95 – shipping


I also ran a sale in my store for the last couple weeks of February.  20% off a bunch of stuff.  I’d guess between 10-15 of those items sold.  Nothing super exciting – just nice to clear out some inventory that’s been hanging on for a long time.

I ♥ costumes!

I actually had at least 5 more costumes that I sold this year, but bought last year.  The photos are on my other computer so I don’t have access to them right now.  The costumes and Halloween gear kept me busy – but I love it!  Definitely one of my favorite things to buy and sell.
