I didn't know the $4.89 cargo pants I got at Goodwill were 'worth anything' but it sold for 43x more

THE LUCKY draw of Goodwill shopping found a hubby and wife reseller duo.

Youtuber couple @radresells (Natalie and Will) were doing a typical thrifting haul until a $4.89 pair of cargo pants made their day, eventually reselling for 43x the profit.

In Will and Natalie's latest video, you won’t find them sleeping on cargo.

Lo and behold, a pair of Crye Precision G3 combat pants. It was one of the first items they found at the Palmetto Goodwill in South Carolina.

Will told The U.S. Sun that tactical pants are great sellers no matter the season.

But they never expected investing a few dollars could lead to hundreds.

CARGO PANTS TURN TO GOLD

When Will and Natalie initially found the pants, they were impressed by the quality. They also knew army-style clothing was high in demand.

But as they continued filming their haul, Natalie made a discovery upon Googling for similar pants being sold online.

Amidst fanning herself from the excitement, she showed it was being resold in the hundreds.

Will showed The U.S. Sun confirmation that their Crye Precision G3 pants sold for an astonishing $215.

A happy payday, especially considering the brand sells them new for $300.

They found other valuable cargo pants within their haul, but these were the most profitable.

In the TikTok video, Natalie also shared a tip for cargo thrifters to always be on the lookout for a “chameleon tag,” another brand called HELIKON-TEX.

It’ll make the purchase worth it.

SECOND-HAND CLOTHING IS BECOMING A LUXURY

Will and Natalie managed to secure a skyrocketing profit, but it's becoming an increasingly less common occurrence for second-hand shoppers.

TikTokers have aired their grievances with thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army because of the rise in prices.

Some people blame wealthy teens, while others blame resellers for the spike.

Rad Resells' commenters exposed this reality in the Youtube video's comment section.

Chankonabe69 said, "Tf here in Houston thrift prices are ridiculous."

Thepinkhippieco said, "Amazing finds!!! It's hard to find anything under $10 at our Goodwill!"

Jimharden5857 emphasized that these kinds of items are why searching every section is essential. "That is what it takes sometimes to go down every aisle, even though it's time-consuming."

You don’t always have to recognize the brand for an item to be worth reselling. Following your gut can lead to high margins.
