We’re only about a week or so into this little community, and I wanted to do a soft check-in just to see how everyone’s feeling so far. Totally normal if you’re still settling in, watching quietly, or figuring out where to start — a lot of people are brand new to thrifting or the idea of flipping, so please know you’re not behind. 👉 If you’d like, drop a tiny update below: - something you found - something you learned - something you’re curious about - or just a simple “hi, I’m here!” or "I have a question" Absolutely no pressure, this is just a gentle way to get a conversation going and help everyone feel comfortable. Over the next little while, I’ll be adding:✨ simple tips✨ weekly threads✨ easy activities✨ more beginner-friendly posts So you can learn at your own pace and feel confident spotting good finds. Happy you’re here, and excited to grow this space together 🌼👇 @Juliet Walter @Kendyl June @Renate Parry @Raven Fuimaono @Sue Barker @James LeBlanc @Katie Irvine @Amanda Jay @Judith Hinz @Sharon Prahl @Julie McGill

I collect Russian nesting dolls, The 1st pic is a doll set I picked up from Sallies in Papatoetoe. I paid about 20.00 for a set of 8 that are vintage. I buy them often from op shops and you do have to for them. Google lens shows me a set very similar on Etsy. I’ve learned Etsy are often very high on pricing. We don’t have eBay here only Trademe and there are quite a few for sale on there but only a couple of actual sales and they were very cheap. What I’ve learned from this is I should actually buy them from Trademe as they don’t really sell and are cheap but it’s not a good platform to sell them. I’m not selling my collection anytime soon though
