Thrift Store Item 2 Sell - French Canister Sets

French Canisters are excellent sellers on eBay. The better selling canisters are enamelware and usually consist of a set of 5 or more canisters. You will see the French words like 'Sucre', 'Farine', 'Café', 'Pâtes', The' and 'Poivre' written on the canisters. Sugar, Flour, Coffee, Pasta, Tea and Pepper.

So next time you are out thrifting or at a garage sale keep an eye out for French Canisters sets.

Thrift Store Find of the Month Sept. 2009

MAMBO Loud Shirt SUBURBIA Men's XL Hawaiian sold 9/23/09 for $50.00

Though a rare thrift store find, I actually found 2 Mambo shirts in like new condition. Picked up each shirt in the $2-$3 dollar range. A nice little profit on this one. These shirts are big in Australia, the colors are so bright. So keep an eye out for these next time you are at a thrift store, chances are you've probably never heard of Mambo before. Here is a picture of the inside tag. offer free shipping if you do find one because they are very light shirts.

As with most clothing the larger the size usually means a higher price on eBay.

Wish I would of been at this Garage Sale.

Check out this nintendo game listed on eBay. It is currently bid up to $8,290.00 with over 3 days left. It was found at a garage sale in 2006 of an ex Nintendo employee.

Vintage Nintendo NES games are good garage sale finds. They will probably be very cheap and if you can put together a nice lot to resell on eBay it could bring a nice profit.
