Brooklyn, NY
Sunset Park's stretch of thrift stores and estate sale liquidators between 4th and 8th Ave caters heavily to the neighborhood's large Chinese and Latin American communities, meaning Japanese ceramics, Hong Kong export silverplate, and 1970s to 1980s Latin pop vinyl regularly surface at prices that reflect local demand rather than national resale value. A flipper who speaks even basic Spanish or Cantonese and shows up to the Saturday morning block sales on 56th to 62nd St in Sunset Park will consistently find items priced for neighborhood buyers, not eBay sellers, which is an edge no out of borough flipper is working right now.
The Tommy Hilfiger x Martine Rose collab shown at London Fashion Week and heavy placement on NYC streetwear TikTok accounts has sent thrift hunters into a frenzy for OG 90s Hilfiger outerwear, and Brooklyn Goodwills on Atlantic Ave and Flatbush are still pricing these at donation rates.
The Shogun FX series rerun buzz and the broader Japancore aesthetic cycle on Pinterest and TikTok has spiked sold listings for mid century Japanese ceramics by roughly 40 percent over the past 90 days, and Brooklyn estate sales in Sunset Park and Bay Ridge regularly surface these sets from the area's historic Japanese and Italian households.
Knicks playoff energy in NYC combined with the retro NBA jersey wave driven by Highsnobiety editorial coverage has made authentic Champion cut jerseys from the 80s and early 90s extremely fast movers on eBay, and Brooklyn flea vendors at Smorgasburg and the Broadway Flea Market often misprice these well below market.

Brooklyn flippers flooded the market with MCM case goods over the past three years and Chairish and Facebook Marketplace listings in the NYC metro are sitting 60 to 90 days without offers as the Brooklyn loft aesthetic cools and buyers shift toward maximalist and eclectic decor.
Only buy if under $40 and you have zero storage cost, otherwise margins after transport and platform fees are near zero.
Knock off and refurbished units from Amazon and direct Polaroid brand reissues have saturated the entry level market, and completed eBay sold listings show average prices down about 35 percent from their 2022 peak with supply from thrifts still running high.
Skip entirely unless you find a One Step Express or SX70 in pristine working condition, standard 600 bodies are a time sink with no margin.
