Before, they would tag items with a different color tag each week for 4 weeks. The color from week 1 would go on sale on week 4, the week before the color was re-used to tag new objects. Objects tagged with the weekly color were 50% off all week.<br /><br />No dollar day, but still not bad. They did away with it, though.<br /><br />However, I am blessed with a Goodwill As-Is center in my town (from what I understand, these are very rare centers). It takes items that aren't selling in those 15 local Goodwills, and tosses them into a store as a last chance sale. Items are marked down according to the original price.<br /><br />All adult clothing is $.99, all the time- whether it's jeans, a t-shirt, or a prom gown. All kids clothing is $.49, again, regardless of what it is.<br /><br />I have some great luck there. I found some brand new 7 for all Mankind jeans there, which fit my 14 year old daughter. She was impressed with the $200 name brand I found, but that didn't stop her from writing on them, tearing out the knee, and eventually ruining them. -sigh-Expressions by Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09523094274108986786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-68154246851355611842010-06-15T11:50:08.257-07:002010-06-15T11:50:08.257-07:00Totally discouraged!

Every little bit helps, but seriously, I should have returned these to AE for some store credit or something!!<br /><br />Oh well, such is the Ebay roller coaster!mommyof3joysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-81849621788981110042010-06-15T09:48:43.481-07:002010-06-15T09:48:43.481-07:00Thanks to you, I began ebaying at the start of Jun...Thanks to you, I began ebaying at the start of June. So far, I have grossed $300! I don't put too much time into it, hence, the low amount, but all the $ will go into a CD for my 4yo to use for when we need to buy him a car. So, really, whatever I get is awesome! I have had some hit/miss and learned (alot!!!) along the way about what sells, doesn't, shipping, etc. I buy ONLY items 1/2 off colored tag at GW and I am PICKY for items, but I have had great luck at my local GW on quality stuff (Chico's sells like crazy! and Banana Republic stuff!!!). I found a pair of Diane Von Furstenburg perfect black pants for $7 and had to get them, no waiting to go 50%, they wouldn't have been there!!! <br />THANK YOU for your inspiration!!! I wouldn't have started all of this without your blog. <br /><br />From: Sunny in So Cal, but not getting GW Dollar Days!! : (ScrappyWyfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850914615000944985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-75194198462122992682010-06-15T09:41:15.990-07:002010-06-15T09:41:15.990-07:00Thank you so much for this post!

I could find a blouse for $3 or $2.50 but not $1. eBay has seemned so intimidating to me.... photos, posts, shipping... I'm gonna give it a try!

I think I need to start listing things at a higher starting price.<br /><br />I also need to figure out shipping!<br />Thanks for your helpsraikhhttp://asaaan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-88507782275834828862010-06-15T07:55:17.819-07:002010-06-15T07:55:17.819-07:00I have become very cheap now that I know I can fin...I have become very cheap now that I know I can find anything for $1. I love thrift stores. I love finding the diamonds in the rough. I will pay maybe $5-$7 if I know it will sell well. Those would usually only be Coldwater creek plus size or Eddie Bauer plus size. :) When I saw your Eddie Bauer 4x shirt do so well I had to find one. It took a couple weeks but I did and it sold yesterday for $34 and I paid $3 at Indian School thrift in PHX. Thank you for all of your insperation.<br />JaimeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
