A reseller sold a thrift-store skirt for $16 after trusting Vinted's suggested price. Mike and Orlando react.

Is thrifting still profitable for eBay resellers in 2026? In Episode 521 of the Pure Hustle Podcast, Mike and Orlando watch raw reseller TikToks for the first time and give their honest takes: a thrift-store skirt a seller listed on Vinted for $16, a Goodwill jacket with a claimed value of $150K to $250K, a box of Goodwill Lego that leads to a $10,000 Lego sorting machine, and the question of whether thrift stores are now "luxury" stores.

They also debate whether Goodwill is cutting resellers out, what counts as a professional reseller on Vinted, and share listener and host flips, including a $20 estate-sale mobility scooter. Their main lessons for new and experienced resellers: research before you list, use Google Lens and eBay sold comps, and track your sell-through rate (how many items sold compared with how many are listed).
