Free BOLO Friday: Discontinued Hand Soap
$1.99 on the shelf. Sells for $50 on eBay.
That’s Boraxo Powdered Hand Soap. Another product you can add to your BOLO list when you hit a local grocery store or hardware store.
If you like hunting these products, here’s a tip: The older the store, the better.
Mom and pop hardware stores, small town grocery stores, the places that haven’t updated their inventory systems in years. These are the spots where products like this sit on shelves long after they’ve disappeared from the big retailers.
So how do you find these stores?
Use Google Maps. Search “hardware store” in your area and skip the big chains. Look for the independent, locally owned spots. I like to check out the photos on the listing before I go. You can usually tell from the pictures whether a store has been around for a while. Old signage, cluttered, dusty aisles, hand-written price tags. Those are beautiful signs in my eyes.
You’re not going to find Boraxo at Home Depot. But that dusty hardware store 20 minutes outside of town that’s been open since 1985? That’s where you find BOLOs like this.

Happy hunting!!
