I bought my red dress for red dress run last year at a goodwill in a very small conservative town in Iowa. I was questioned and confronted with shamefull looks

Some friends found an antique bed and mattress at some thrift store. The bed was a decent antique bed that had some value. The mattress had very nasty stains all over it. It was disgusting.
Some guy walked by and commented on the nasty mattress and said the finials on the bedposts "looked like buttplugs."

I bought two Brooks Bros. polo shirts for $1.99 each. They both still had the original store tags attached to them.

When I was in school, I would go to the Red, White, And Blue Thrift Store on Jefferson Highway in New Orleans and buy 5-10 suits at a time. I’d find Hickey Freeman, Canali, Burberry, etc. I’d pay $15-$30 per suit and put them on eBay for $100-$150 per suit. Some months I’d make $800-$1000 for a few hours of my time. I’d also buy Zanella trousers there for $7 and sell them for $35-$50. Retail on Zanella trousers are around $325 per pair.
Here in D.C., I have found a consignment store that specializes in high-end clothing. I have seen John Lobb Shoes, Kiton and Brioni Suits, and several bespoke suits for a steal (each less than $200).

When I lived in BR I got plenty of LSU memrobillia.
I have a 2003 LSU coaches polo with the authentic logo, and a 2007 BCSCG windbreaker with the official logo.
Have dozens of other LSU stuff from the teams, all with bowl insignia or player only stuff

I remember my first $100 hit on a garage sale flip. It was near CCLA and it was a backgammon set made by Pierre Cardin (spl?). I paid $2 and sold it for $110.
Before that, I was spending $1-$5, and flipping most stuff for $30-$50.
That was nearly 15 years ago. It took me 15 years to break the $1000 mark on a single item (one of the Anri Chess sets).
I have bought and sold many collections, making over $1000 each, but never sold a single item over $1000 until now.
The closest I came was a comic book of Loki's first appearance (Thor's second appearance) "Journey into Mystery" #85. I paid 10 cents (in a huge lot), sold it for $800+. I bought a collection of 12 Kentucky Derby glasses from the 50's. I paid $12 and one was very rare, it sold for about $800.

When I first started hunting, I would have $20 in cash and I would not spend more than $5 on a single item.
My go to money when I first started, women's Doc Marten boots. I would pick them up for $1-$5 and sell for $20-$30 each.
Now when I hunt, I have a minimum of $200 on me, and access to 100's more, just in case.

$200 bucks maybe, like you said, depends on the wood, plus the craftsmanship

I have a ton of wool hunting clothing from goodwill.

The strangest find I ever made was the shell of a World War II Navy practice bomb.

It was only a practice bomb; no explosives. Just the hallowed out shell. They would fill it with sand and drop it on a practice target. This was in the early 90’s in Baton Rouge.

When I started out, I was no expert, I just knew quality, and learned on the way. I spent many of hours searching sold items of eBay, looking at prices.
When I would buy something, I would search similar items.
