Goodwill Outlet Income Experiment - Thrifting, Picking, & Finding Profit Day 23 - Big Ass Clock!
Adventures in thrifting income from the pay per pound Goodwill - Day 23.
It was a decent day at the Outlet today. Not too many items, but one very special thing that I am very pleased to have found.
Plus two lids.
I'm starting to think that the more lids I find the better the pick will be!
Today is April 9th and it is day 23. Let's see what I found this Monday.
Another bowling ball bag. It has a bit of cosmetic defects, so I will list it at the low end of the recent sales to grab the bargain shopper.
The NERF gun is a good find by itself. It is the Longstrike which sells for a good price. Someone painted this in Urban camo style.
Some more lids and a Swing A Way can opener.
Oh, and THE FIND of the day - a large antique clock from the 1930's! It still works and everything!
SWEET! I love this type of stuff. It was made by the Hammond company and marked "Postal Telegraph" on the face. The face itself measures 16 inches across.
The black thing is a Vitamix blender wrench. Then I found this wrist blood pressure device that is like new.
Rounding up the days finds are two TAG HEUER watch cases and a TED BAKER sunglasses case. The TAG's sell for way more than you might expect.
Sales!
Only one sale for today. A Microsoft Office disc.
But the magnet bundle winner paid up from yesterdays auction. So I will add that profit in the total for today.

As always, tomorrow is a new day and a new thrift!
Is the crud on the clock at the 7-8 hour on the face or on the glass?
It looks like it had a problem with a water leak.
But when, how would that happen?
Yeah, its on the face. It's just the paint being rubbed off. The face is all metal.
Definitely some inspiring stuff! Makes me want to head down to the consignment!
(PS ... hope we get our not-flamethrowers soon!)
Any word about those not-flamethrowers and delivery?
Shame that eBay is taking down the listings for them as they were going for $2500!
ahh I did not see that! I bought 2 just for the sake of it.
I haven't seen anything other than the email that we should be expecting terms and conditions shortly...
An email? I didn't get one, and I just checked again for it too!
I got this on March 21st
I didn't really like the looks of it
It all looks to be in great shape too.
It's alright, I think it has character.
Great finds! I've added you to the list if people I'm following. I LOVE that you're writing and taking pictures of the items you find instead of just posting a video on YouTube.
One question: What's the deal with the lids?
Haha, the lids. Earlier in this challenge I picked up a few Revere Ware lids, which do have a market on eBay, a couple different days. But @fullcoverbetting seems to be looking for any picks of mine that include these lids now. It's just kinda a funny rolling joke now for me to find Revere Ware lids. 😀
Yeah that Clock looks like the old ones I had in class in Grade school. Good find @getonthetrain.
I'm looking forward to the sale. I think I paid around $8 or so for it so good profit awaits.
All it takes is getting UP off the Couch. @getonthtrain showing you ways to earn extra FIAT which can then go to Purchase Real Money like Silver or Gold..........
Ain't gonna find it on the couch, for sure.
.
Gonna be selling it to turn the profit into an investment.
Yeah! New lid porn 😂
Still more 7 days to go.
Maybe you should also make do advertising here for your ebay store. Because I didn’t see it yet!
Oh, there is enough clues here to find my store if you wanted.
I'll also sell anything you see in my posts for STEEM.
That clock is awesome!
Hell yeah it is! And when it sells the profit will be awesome too 😀
