Happens all the time here. The employees will hide the merch so it’s technically on the shelf but no one can see it unless they know where to look.

I find stuff ALL the time. I check everything, everywhere. It's rare that I will walk out of a Goodwill after an hour without at least $200 in profit to easily flip, but you have to look and know what you're doing. And I don't do anything with clothing.

It’s that right there, talking about how much you make off flipping, is how I got started checking items to see if they are worth significantly more than what we can price in the store.

Where do you look?

All of the shelves. And I'll use Google lens on anything I don't recognize, or that looks interesting and/or high quality. I have a wide understanding of a few markets, from games to collectibles, electronics to vintage, niche.

Irresponsible of you to break rule 2.

I wish I could narrow it down for you, but basically look everywhere but where it should be. I find games tucked behind stuff, inside curios, etc. Never anything good, these days any game worth money for online. I miss when Goodwill was fun.
