However, Wayne (@kaywayshop) took it a step further and was able to quit his full-time job as a postman to make a living as a reseller

In a recent video, he shared an example of one of his serendipitous discoveries.

“Yesterday I spent $250 on one item at the thrift store,” he said.

However, the expensive pair of shoes was quite out of the ordinary.

Wayne showed off a pair of ostrich leather cowboy boots.

Inside, the label revealed that the boots were from the Luchesse brand.

The brand is sought after by fans of Western fashion for its craftsmanship, quality leather and stunning styles.

Even at the thrift store, Wayne noticed they were originally $495.

MONEY MAKER

“Those things were beautiful,” Wayne said.

He posted them on eBay and within a day they sold for $550.

This left the dealer with a profit of $300 on a single item.

PACKAGING THE GOODS

However, the storage of the boots needed special attention.
