pop up thrift shop

---

It all began with my love of thrifting and garage sale shopping. Over the last few years, I have put on some epic garage sales. Now, I'm looking for ways to take my reselling to the next step. I spend soooo much time gathering product to host sales. Some people have donated items to me, which is great. I have purchased items at on-line auctions to resale.  I hope to get the word out more that I take donations for resale.  I also just started buying storage units. Buying storage units is not all the glory they make it out to be. It has become so popular, that the prices of units are a little outrageous. Then it's a ton of work to move, sort and clean everything. But I do enjoy the thrill of finding item to resale. I now have my own storage unit to sort and store items.  For obvious reasons, winter is not a good time to do garage sales. That's when i started looking for other places to host garage sales or "pop-up thrift sales". Initially, I considered opening a full thrift store. But that idea quickly fizzled when i realized how much time I would have to spend there. I checked into lots of locations that i could rent for a couple of days a month. I was happy to find a location that will enable me to not only do a pop-up thrift shop, but also do a couple of other things I wanted to include in my reselling business.  I went to a live in-person auction a while ago. The atmosphere and the vibe were so much fun. I just knew I wanted to start hosting live in-person auctions. I also love the idea of flea markets. They give many sellers and shoppers the opportunity to gather in one location.  Shopping flea markets is such a great opportunity to find fun and unique items at good prices. I was thrilled when the great people at Manor Grange in Battle Ground, Wa were willing to rent me the building and parking lot. My plan is to have a pop-up thrift sale, flea market and live in-person auction all within 2 days each month. This will start in March 2025. All current scheduled dates are listed below. Depending on the success, we can add more dates and possible other locations in Clark County.
