Very cool and very impressive @steemmatt!
I've been doing something similar for a long time, albeit in a more specialized way on a much smaller scale. I wonder, do you live in a city? Some success still, here in our small town... my wife specializes in upmarket clothing from thrift stores and rummage sales which she puts in her Poshmark store; I more do collectibles and vintage items. For us, it's more a case of finding "an item here or there," than enough to make a substantial income... there are a lot of upcyclers in this town.
We have long considered whether it would be worth our while to make weekly trips (2 hours each way) to the more swank areas of Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia, which are the nearest population centers with a "leisure class" that discards stuff of value rather than penny pinch.
