Tuesday Goodwill Haul -- How to buy $1015 in clothes for $30.89 UPDATED with Ebay Sales prices!

Yesterday I went to a Goodwill that recently opened in my area. For the Goodwill's near me Tuesday is the day that the "color of the week" is $1.99. This week was pink so anything with a pink tag cost $1.99. I normally don't have that much luck finding the color of the week by Tuesday but maybe because this Goodwill was new or I was lucky or they have been pricing things too high I found a bunch of great stuff. I tried to only buy pink tags but some other items snuck in as well. I'll start with the pink tags.

Total sales from ebay: $270.73 (notice the ebay prices are still an awesome savings from retail. If you have an item you would normally buy at retail price consider checking ebay for it first. You will also most likely have to pay shipping but there are some great deals on ebay!)

If I did any math wrong feel free to harrass me in the comments. I already did it wrong once because I missed one of the items. Oops!

I paid less than 10% just like the lovely ladies from Too Cheap Blondes always recommend! I also managed to make over $200 from one trip to the Goodwill. 

I was super pleased with this trip and hope that this Goodwill continues to have such awesome stuff. This is one of my better hauls recently (which is probably why I was motivated to actually start posting on this blog). I found a lot more brand new items than I usually do. These are great for ebay but for me it doesn't really make a difference whether someone has worn the item a few times. I think other shoppers agree which is why these over priced items were still there on $1.99 tag day. Does your Goodwill WAY overprice new items too? 

I was basically overjoyed when I found the Diane von Furstenberg dress because it is gorgeous and after trying it on I think I had to wipe away a few tears because it fit so well. I can't wait to wear it once the weather warms up (the weather here seems to not realize I am prepared for summer and cold spring days can take a hike). UPDATE -- I had to wipe away a few more tears when I decided to sell this dress! I sold it for $63.74 which was a great deal for the buyer, but it was also a good profit for me!
