It's just that I find it hard to believe they didn't know what it was. In fact, with all of the antiques and collectible shows on tv I'm surprised you'd find anything of value underpriced. Those who would be stupid and underprice it don't seem like the people who'd have anything I'd want.




You give people way too much credit. Some people truly have no idea what they have. You should see the Reddit boards dedicated to flipping, thrift stores, etc. People that know what to look for find some really good stuff.

I just sold over $3K worth of vintage NES and SNES games on Amazon that I found. I didn't find it all at a garage sale, but rather at repo houses I manage that someone left as trash but the point still stands that people are are ignorant about what they have sometimes. One game alone was worth $350.

Going back to middle class and poor neighborhoods, I have been to a few. I cannot stand when someone looks up and prints an Ebay page and tapes it to an item, trying to show what they are worth.

It is usually an active item, not a closed auction, and they grab the highest auction they can find.

They don't understand is what people are asking for on Ebay does not value something. Closed auctions is a much better measurement of value.

You will always see these Ebay sheets at middle class and poor neighborhoods.
