Discover the unique story behind The This, The That & The Whynots, from the corporate world to the thrill of finding hidden gems. Learn about our passion, our mission, and what drives us to deliver exceptional finds to you.
From corporate ladders to hidden treasures
After 30 years in retail management, navigating everything from grocery stores to funeral homes, I decided it was time to manage myself. Welcome to The This, The That & The Whynots! Where there are certainly a lot of "Whynots!" Stick around and follow my new adventure. I buy liquidation and undeliverable pallets, digging for the coolest treasures for you to buy. There’s nothing quite like a pallet of brown boxes and not knowing what's inside. It has its ups and downs, ins and outs, but trust me when I say it is interesting—words can't explain sometimes!
The thrill of the find: what makes a 'whynot'?
What's the most exciting or surprising thing I've ever found? Well, let's just say I got banned for posting it! But on average, I find everything from automotive parts to hardware, DIY kits, sheets, and pillowcases. Each item has its own "WhyNot" story, transforming from forgotten inventory into a cherished find for someone new. It's the unpredictable nature of the hunt that keeps things exciting and ensures a diverse collection of treasures for you.
Our passion for quality and transparent sourcing
I don't just spend seconds or minutes on each product; I dedicate significant time to researching every single one. From proper descriptions to checking numbers and recalls, I ensure every item meets our standards. If I don't feel passionate about an item, it gets repurposed to the scrapyard. I test what I can, and although I don't always have all the capabilities, I remain fair with prices and policies. I believe in 100% transparency, wanting you to feel confident and excited about every purchase you make from The This, The That & The Whynots.
Our goal: connecting forgotten treasures with new homes
I'm not looking to make a million dollars. My purpose is to find things people didn't want, forgot about, or simply changed their minds about. I want to put these items into the hands of people who can truly use them. That's my goal! To build a destination where the thrill of the find is matched only by the reliability of the person behind it. Why settle for ordinary? WhyNot shop with an expert?
