I went to one garage sale today (I worked last night and I work tonight). I spent $106, but keeping about $10 worth of stuff).
Sorry I don’t have pictures of everything. I put them away before I realized I didn’t get all the pictures. I will up load a video this evening with everything I bought.

$10 - Game Cube with controllers/cables
50¢-$1 each - DS, Game Cube, & WII games




25¢ - vintage single stitch Dolphins shirt


$5 - vintage shoe trees


$6 - Nike & Asics shoes


$6 - bunch of Legos





$10 - vintage Wm Rogers silver plate flatware


And my big winner today, I found it in a blank case. It was 50¢. It should bring $100+


The Game Cube and other GC games should bring really good money as well. There is a GC game called Smash Brothers. It has Pokémon & Mario Bros games it it. It brings $50-$80 by itself. There’s a total of 10 GC games.

The Dolphins shirt has great possibilities, maybe $100+.

I’m sorry, but buying and selling used shoes is just nasty.

You struck gold with that gamecube. Those poor suckers didn’t know what they had. Super Smash Bros Melee is renowned as one of the best fighting games of all time.

The other valuable games would include Metroid Prime, Zelda: The Windwaker, Star Wars Rogue Leader, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Luigi’s Mansion,

Million dollar question is when are you going to have your own garage sale?

Game cube and games, Legos, and a vintage shirt good haul!

Silver plate flatware and shoe trees are probably a miss

I don’t know, I’ve never dealt in silver plate before, but I heard vintage silver plate flatware has had a big surge lately. It’s gotta be the top stuff like Wm Rogers, Oneida, etc.

I hope I'm wrong and all but there's no way I can see someone paying $100 for that shirt.

I don’t do it very often, but when I first started doing this 20 years ago, shoes were my bread & butter. Granted, I wasn’t making a killing off them. I’d buy Doc Martens all day long for $2-$5, sell for $25-$50.

Where will you be selling the GC? My 15-year-old has been looking for one...he likes old-school games.

I love these posts. Do you come across a lot of vinyl records? I missed out on a yard sale near me recently and my buddy at work told me the lady had a ton of classic vinyl for dirt cheap. He said he kind of felt bad, because she was basically giving them away and must not have realized what she had.

I had one back in December because I bought so much shite last year, I didn’t have time to list it. Plus, I don’t like listing stuff for $10 on eBay, so I just put $1 on most stuff, sold everything I had for $900+.
Now I just give it away.

If you don't want to spend money on a GC and he already has a computer, you could look into downloading an emulator and buy him a controller and USB controller hub.

You always are optimistic on the high price. I am always pessimistic on the lower end. But that brand does seem to have much higher comps than other brands I have looked up

Went to an estate sale yesterday that had fill a bag for $5. I filled my bag with vintage Christmas smalls in boxes. I was a happy camper. I had already contemplated a Christmas in July in my booth so this will just add to that.
