Here are 15 items commonly found at thrift stores that, if you spot the right ones, you can totally flip for some extra cash. Our happy place. Mugs: You may not think that flipping dingy mugs would be a profitable business, but some pretty common thrift store mugs can actually make you significant bank online. Art Frames: While finding a piece of art worth millions at the thrift store is definitely rare, finding expensive frames that you can easily resell is actually pretty common. Take a look around the art section and see if you can find any frames that have ornate gold detailing. Too cute to resist! These bright and cheerful bowls are very frequently seen in thrift stores and can easily reach hundreds on popular bidding sites. Sunglasses: Cool cats know that sunglasses are great items to snag at thrift stores. Name brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Burberry are always a sure bet, but funky retro pairs are also a great call for maximum moola. Vintage Board Games: If your local thrift store has a toys and games section, make sure to check whether they have any board games in stock.
