$30 - Goodform mid century modern chair. It may bring $200-$300


No, not quite.. There's one on Etsy right now that's been re-upholstered for 155.. You'll be lucky to get 50.

In all seriousness, this is just a hobby. I’ve been doing it for 20 years. I don’t do it for the money, I do it for the hunt. That’s why I don’t do auctions, antique shops, storage units, etc.
It’s all about the thrill of the hunt, finding something for a dollar and selling it for $500.

I would be pissed if my wife came home with that haul even if she paid zero dollars for it.

That isn’t his lawn. He had to take a pic of it at the sale to send to the bank to see if he could get a note on it

I wouldn’t pay 30 for that piece of shite ugly chair


There are arts of works people pay millions for, that I wouldn't take if someone paid me.

In other words, no one cares what you think its worth.

Two weeks ago, not me, I was at work on days, so no garage sales for me on those weekends. I work nights this weekend, so I go when I get off.

You like to buy a bunch of dirty used shite.

Let’s break it down:

Two high dollar backpacks for $10 total, probably sell for around $20 each (I may keep the Swiss one, it looks new)

The coffee maker for $2. It will sell for anywhere from $50 - $100. Don’t ask me why, but black & decker space saver stuff does well.

The Marruci bag for $1. I have no clue of the value, there are zero on eBay. It may be my hidden gem. I do know you got it for free when you special ordered a glove from them.

The cleats were $2 a pair. These should bring $20-$25 a pair. They were $100+ each new. They are in great condition, just needs cleaning.

The octopus book ends. The exact one just sold for $60. I paid around $4 (I bundled a bunch of stuff totaling $20, including the Kors purse)

The vintage lizard skin purse may also be a hidden gem. It was only $2.

The three things of unopened DVD-R’s and two card stock reams, I paid $5 total for. They should bring $15-$20 each ($50-$70)

The camera/monitor was $2. One similar (same brand, diff model number) just sold for $99

I try not to do estimated sales, because I like the surprise of what they sell for.

But I can easily make $100 profit on this junk, even though it was a bad weekend.

Look up the squishmallows by the name on the tag. Those ridiculous little things sell for decent money sometimes.

Yeah, I learned about them from flippers on YouTube. These are the first I’ve ever found, but they are the small ones, only worth about $10 each or so.
The big ones can get very expensive.

I sold a fake one that looked like my cat (reason I bought it) for $20 and the buyer paid shipping.

Eta: paid $1
