LOVE THRIFTING? LOVE RESALE SHOPPING? Join us once again for our popular and so much fun, Mystery Resale Shopping Bus Tours as we explore our area thrifting/consignment and eclectic spots. We take care of everything, all you have to do is sit back, relax, ride in style, on a private motor-coach bus, with local "pick-up" points in Bradenton, St. Pete, Sarasota, Venice, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers and more. It's the Ultimate Resale Shopping Bus Tour Experience EVER!

We don't disclose the shops until you are on the bus, you will love being treated like a Resale Queen, with a yummy catered lunch, big discounts at our stops, snacks, games, laughs, special guests, contests, door prizes, swag/goodie bags and so much more!

You are welcome to bring your coffee with you to start your day, just make sure it has a lid on it. We have a catered lunch for everyone-Turkey-Ham or Cheese/Veg with packets of mayo and mustard plus chips and cookies. Plus we have snacks and water for the entire day just for our resale queens.

The return dates to our pick up spots, could be later due to the growth or our area, 1-75 traffic and detours, so don't plan another event that evening. Thank you

From our Tip Sheet (everyone will be mailed a tip sheet before their scheduled resale tour)

Maybe it's the anticipation of being on a 45 foot motor coach bus, but our resale queens seem to be more thirsty than ever? Not sure of the science behind this, however that is why we encourage our Resale Queens👑 to *bring a cup or a bottle of water, coffee or wine, as long as it has a lid on it with them on the bus. We just want to be careful of spills. Remember our return times can be later due to traffic, season and more.

That way if we are stuck in traffic or you just want to wet your whistle, you will have something to drink until we get to our 1st resale destination. Some of us even bring a package of crackers or a snack in the purse.👜*from our Tip Sheet provided to each bus patrons.

BEST TIP EVER (BRING SOMETHING LARGE to store your goodies and please place your name on it (see photos above).- This tip is a MUST!

Bring a large reuse shopping bag, a plastic tub or even a suitcase with your name on it. After each stop, just put your purchase in the bag, case or tub you brought with you and at the end of our "SHOP TIL YOU RESALE DROP" tour, you can grab and go to your car so much faster. Makes it so much easier at the end of our resale tour for you and your resale gals.
