How did you learn about a wide variety of objects and their value? Trial and error?

Thrift stores are dead now. The good stuff gets thrown out or not distributed.

Cool, will try to keep it in your mind

Proof of my purchase for this months cars so you don't have any doubts.

About 150 cars for this price. Which includes a crazy amount for shipping.

Years and years of studying, taking risks, etc.
you got to remember, when I started my hobby, there were no smart phones, so I had to buy the item and look it up when I got home.
If the item was a miss, I would search similar items that were valuable.

For example, the scissors today. They were $1 a pair. Let’s say I get home and look them up, realize they are not worth very much. So I would then look up scissors that are worth big money.
That’s how I did it.

This is kinda nice looking. How big is it? Do you have a pic of its blade?

It’s a pretty clean knife, super sharp. When I bought it, I thought it would go for much higher than they do. It’s a 44000. They only sell for around $15-$20.

I was thinking along the line of a Kershaw knife but with a Klein name.

Habit, because as a joke, I call it garage selling (which is not correct either).

I feel like you could start a youtube channel and put up some of your stuff and make way more money than you do buying and selling stuff

Huh?

I have a YT channel about my garage selling, but it takes a lot of work to maintain a successful YT channel

You paid $1 for something that originally cost 40 cents. I thought the point of a garage sale was to find good deals?

Block out the noise Antiquetiger. I enjoy your post when you hit the garage sales. I couldnt do it definetly not as a hobby. Especially like it when you give us the updates on Ebay what they sold for. I could understand taking a break from it though.
