From Hobby to $100K+: Kelly Gunn’s “Trash Picking” Empire Revealed (Part Time Pickers)

Kelly Gunn turned “trash picking” into a serious vintage resale business — crossing $100K+ in annual sales and eventually reaching $1,000,000 in total sales since 2020. But the real story behind Part-Time Pickers is not just about finding junk… it’s about quitting a safe corporate career at 54 and building a loyal audience that buys nostalgia. In this video, we reveal how Kelly Gunn built Part-Time Pickers from a small Facebook page in Powhatan, Virginia into a powerful vintage resale brand. From estate sales, thrift stores, yard sales, auctions, flea markets, and curbside finds, Kelly learned how to spot forgotten treasures, clean them up, tell their story, and sell them to a massive online audience. We also break down the real numbers behind the business — including the difference between gross sales and profit, why Facebook became her biggest sales engine, how viral thrift-store clips helped her grow, and why her success comes from more than just “finding good stuff.” This is the story of Kelly Gunn, Part-Time Pickers, vintage reselling, Facebook-driven selling, Pyrex, nostalgia, and the discipline it takes to turn a weekend hobby into a real business.
