Pick a subject/items you like and become a self taught expert on. Whatever it is, Cloths, tableware, pots/pans, corning glass, Tupperware, electronics etc.
The only reason I start doing this is because I was poor and liked music. During 2006/7 All thrift stores had records for $1 or less and at the time no one wanted vinlys. My favorite store had records for 25 cents, at the time. I focused my attention to music only. At first, records then CDs, then instruments. Slowing branching out. During the phase of my life where I was doing this full time my 2 main focuses were anything music related and cameras. I have become "expert" enough, that I no longer need to check my phone or google an item in the store. After years of just looking at old stuff you kinda get a feel of it. I do not like to use the internet much because Ebay is a bad way to judge the price and google cant always show everything. For example the Turtle shell>>1735578. google didn't bring any results really. Nothing that size. $200 seemed like a rip off, but
A) It was cool. Cool factor you could call it
B) never ever had I saw something like that for sale anywhere before (rare)
C)Internet showed nothing. This can go either way Good/bad sign.

So really internet doesn't matter, it pretty much goes
Have I ever seen this before?
Is it rare?
Condition?
Do I want it? (How hard is it to sell this?)
