Source of inventory

[moiwonderful]

Hi everyone,

I'm new and researching opening a thrift store.  Where do you get inventory?  Which percent comes from where?  How much time/resources do you spend obtaining inventory?

It all depends on what you are selling. I mainly sell vintage and international clothes and items. I buy a lot of stuff from estate sales and some garage sales. I also have friends in other countries that buy international clothes and items and ship them back. I also visit other countries on occasion and have large units shipped back.
