BOLO: Skip It

January 19, 2020 by Kari @ She Thrifts 1 Comment

This BOLO comes courtesy of an article I came across on FB this morning that included a list of ’80s items that people wish had not been discontinued. Of course I was a sucker and clicked the linked (hey, it’s research! At least that is how I justified that particular time-suck to myself.) Many of the items included were food products, but some were items we could possibly find to resell. One being the Skip It!

This absolutely looks like something that would be sitting in a driveway at a yard sale that I would walk right by. But, it might be worth picking up. It’s not a huge profit, but it seems like they can often be sold for $25-$50, and they have a strong sell-through rate. Check out completeds HERE. You will see that the Skip It was actually re-released in 2013 in what appears to be some kind of a collaboration with Demi Lovato, and those also sell well.

As always, if you find a “BOLO item” I recommend that you look it up prior to purchase as the market, demand and prices do change over time. Happy hunting!

Help me name my Etsy store!

October 12, 2019 by Kari @ She Thrifts 4 Comments

Since this is my year to resell online full-time, I am finally going to dip my toe in the Etsy pool. This is something I have been thinking about doing for years (and years and years). Honestly, Etsy kinda intimidates me. And I am not super into vintage … except when I am. Which is usually vintage plush. I bought a lot of vintage plush from my cousin last summer when she was having a yard sale. Most are currently for sale in my eBay store, and they do sell occasionally. I’ve been thinking maybe I should cross post some of it to Etsy as a little trial run.

Of course when setting up an Etsy store one of the first things you need to know is the name of your store. To which I have given no thought. Something cute or clever or punny? That has to do with vintage, plush, love or loveys?

Gladly taking any name suggestions!! (As well as any Etsy tips you may like to pass along.)

BOLO – 80s plastic charms

March 4, 2018 by Kari @ She Thrifts 3 Comments


This is my own personal collection of charms,
which I will NOT be selling!

 A friend and I were reminiscing recently about the lovely plastic charms from the 80s.  (She is a second grade teacher and one of her students came to school wearing her mom’s charms.)  She was saying with regret that she no longer had her charms, but I was happy to report that I still have mine!  They are one of the only toys I have saved from my own childhood, and I won’t part with them.  But, of course I was curious what they might fetch on eBay.  Check out completeds HERE!  I will certainly be keeping an eye out this summer at yard sales in case anyone else is ready to part with a piece of their childhood.
