There were a lot of garage sales today, but the finds were not that good. My daughter (no pics u sick fricks), found the two best finds (maybe). She’s been garage selling with me since she was 4. She had a great eye on certain items (hip stuff, jewelry, etc)

Her finds:

For $5, two giant boxes of solar nodders (this is only 1/2 of them)


For $2, a Chanel ring (verified real)


She found one ring that sold like hers, it went for $350. There’s none on eBay. The nodders sell for $3-$5 each (a few are in $20 range). She will do quite well

My finds:
A bunch of PS, PS2, Sega Genesis, & Xbox 360 games for $1 each (or less). Plus a Sega Genesis console in the box and a SNES (both not pictured). I paid $55 for the 2 ($50 & $5)






For $20 DSi with Super Mario Bros


$4 wrasslin figures (I have no idea who these people are besides Cena


And probably my Best Buy today, for $50, a brand new Weber Smokey Joe NFL Edition Oilers (1995). There is only one on eBay (not the Oilers), they asking $275. This thing is brand new, only the box has wear. Some of the older non-NFL Smokey Joe’s bring decent money.




Sorry, hit submit accidentally.

Follow ups.

Last week, I bought a hung box of Army unit insignias, that was in a bigger lot of military stuff. I paid $200 for the entire lot. I have sold quite a bit of the stuff already, including the challenge coins for $200+, and the silver coins for $200. The box of insignias, I nearly passed on. It’s up to $610

I bought these the other night from an OTer. I had an offer of $300, but it got a bid of $200 before I could accept the offer

Brodus Clay, Cena, Sheamus, AJ Lee, Randy Orton, CM Punk, and I'm guessing the smaller one is the undertaker.

Thanks. The small one is the Undertaker and is the most valuable of the lot. It’s a Funko mystery pack and brings about $15.

This is the first time ever buying wrestling figures

I passed on a bunch of video games this weekend because I don't know what I am buying. Let one I bought was Trekken or something like that at an estate sale because I had time to look it up (in a back room lol).

I found this yesterday for $2. This is an ebay picture not mine.
Also found a cool vintage girl scout cookbook of campout recipes that I am giving to my niece.

I would have thought that ring was fake. It doesn't look quality from the picture.

There are certain brands (Chanel is one of them), that gets looked over by experts before the auction will go live. If it’s fake, eBay will not post the auction. So if you see Chanel on eBay, you know it’s real.

You gotta risk it if they are cheap enough. That’s how you learn (the wrestling figures for example).
I will risk money if I know I already found a great buy that day, or have a great find sell recently on eBay.
I bought a cypress doll house today with furniture.
You can have it because I don’t feel like messing with it. It needs some TCL. It’d work great in your booth.

Good to know!

I also bought some French perfume for the first time that I will put on ebay to see what happens.

I risk stuff I kinda am ok having around for awhile or can give away (or put in booth)or put on Marketplace for cost. I don't want a bunch of leftover Madden PS2 games I bought the last game because it was in pristine condition and looked like it was never played.

If there's that much demand for that crap I need to clean out the storage rooms of my unit...


In terms of old militaria, I need to find someone in this state that knows this stuff better than I do because I have a lot of it. I'm just glad I have it and it wasn't dumped into a garage sale.
