We'll show you the listings on eBay with the actual results of items sold. This also gives us the opportunity to show you items we bought during the show, that are still available for sale.

WORTHPOINT Visit With Us In Las Vegas Proves To Be Very Worthwhile

Bryan and Jason were thrilled to have the CEO & Founder of WorthPoint visit with us to discuss some upcoming projects we will be assisting each other with in 2014.  An important topic was the confirmation that the Thrifting with the Boys discount code for WorthPoint would still be available for the balance of 2014. This means that members of our Facebook Group will still be able to take advantage of a reduced rate for a subscription to WorthPoint by entering code TWTB2014. That will lock in a special rate of only $16.95 a month. With Billions of images and Millions of listings cataloged, WorthPoint is an invaluable research tool that Bryan and Jason use daily.

Naturally when VIPs come to town, Bryan & Jason show them around Las Vegas 'Thrifting Style'. The usual thrift stores such as Savers are on the agenda. And what visit to Vegas would be complete if there wasn't a stop at Sin City Pickers where the 'boys' have a booth set up in this eclectic antique and collectibles mall?  Well the story gets better because Will from WorthPoint found quite the treasure while digging around Sin City Pickers. He came across a couple of albums filled with CDV  (carte de visite) 
photographs.  Will was savvy enough to know that while not inexpensive, that the photos would sell in the $30-$50 range and would easily make a profit reselling these individually on eBay. One of the books he would offer in the form it was discovered: 1800's Scottish Family Cabinet Photo Book Remarkable Photos Hi Tea, bicycle, etc.

But the really great discovery was when Will realized that he had a rare photo of Dr.Joseph Bell who was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's mentor and was the person Sherlock Holmes was built around.  The photo is shown on the right and you may click on it to see the listing on eBay. Will accepted a best offer of over $500 for this photo!

Congratulations to Will for his amazing find at Sin City Pickers Antiques & Collectibles Mall and we welcome him back to Las Vegas any time!

Jason and Bryan were extremely overwhelmed at the turnout and fun as well as the informative and inspirational talk given by our featured speaker:
Cindy Sorley. Not only did she share some great tips on Thrifting, Cindy revealed her secrets for finding merchandise and listing swiftly via the eBay Mobile App.  We were thrilled to have her as our first speaker because she is so active and has the sales history to prove her credibility.  A sincere thank you from everyone in our new group for flying in to do this for us! 

If you were there, you might want to take a peek at some of the photographs taken that night.

Our next meetup is October 29th with special guest Griff from eBay and we already have one for November planned and a Thriftmas party in the works for December.

The venue was great, food was very inexpensive and Bryan, Jason and Cindy stayed late at the bar answering questions after the presentation.  More great nights to follow---join in the fun!

Second Meetup featuring Griff from eBay October 29, 2013

PictureClick on photo of Griff for more pictures from the event!
Second Sin City Meetup was held October 29th 2013 with our very special guest Griff from eBay.  Yes it was Halloween week so we could not resist dressing up and having some fun!  Griff discussed managed returns and answered questions about eBay.


Members were impressed with his longevity at eBay as well as his knowledge.  Griff shared stories from the early days as well as how important it is these days to make buyers happy!


We're sure many thought that since Griff worked for eBay that he didn't sell on eBay.  But that is not the case.  Griff is an avid thrifter and has a background in antiques, but motivated in recent years to sell shirts since thrifting with us anytime we would get together! 
See his items for sale on eBay here: Uncle Griff's Closet

Griff is also the longtime host of Ebay Radio and can be heard live online twice a week as well as on all of the archived shows!

FOLKLORE: Origin of the name "Thrifting with the Boys"

Bryan fully takes credit for the name "Thrifting with the Boys". Claims it popped into his head while driving from one thrift store to another and heard someone say "I'm out Thrifting with the Boys". The phrase soon became the basis of the Jason and Bryan empire. They grabbed the domain, started a Thrifting Facebook Group which has quickly risen in popularity with members into the thousands.  Their Thrifting with the Boys Facebook Group has fast become the favorite group of many of the very active participants.

What is "Thrifting with the Boys" ?

Thrifting with the Boys started in early 2011 while friends Jason and Bryan united to 'share' hints and tips about acquiring items for resale at thrift stores.  After an eBay event in Las Vegas, the two "Boys" ventured to a number of thrift stores along with a group of friends. Hilarity ensued! Not only did they laugh, but they shared great ideas about what to buy and what to pass up. The "Boys" both left with tons of great stuff to resell on eBay. 

Jason and Bryan realized sharing their knowledge of 'thrifting' could be beneficial to many eBay sellers already shopping at thrift stores for products. They suspected many aspiring sellers needed inspiration and direction about what to sell and where to get products too. It occurred to them that many sellers would be interested in their methods of sourcing and how to best resell those products on eBay.

Shortly after that outing, Jason attempted to secure the "Boys" a speaking engagement at the eBay Radio Party Conference in June of 2011. His efforts paid off and apprehensively the "Boys" were given a spot early in the morning when it looked 'safe' to let a couple of well-liked fellows try this unique presentation for the first time. The seminar was a smash hit, very well received and left the very attentive audience clamoring for more. Ebay Radio Party immediately booked the "Boys" for 2012.  That first presentation led to a booking for the Kansas Jubilee at the end of September.  Other speaking engagements followed. If you are interested in arranging for the "Boys" to entertain, teach and speak at your event, get a hold of them at:BryanAndJason@ThriftingWithTheBoys.com.
