I spent a total $320 ($200 at one, $120 at the other).

I really could not tell you exactly what I paid for each, because at the first one, my pile totaled $150, she said how about $120.
The second sale, my total was $245, she said how about $200.

I can tell you I paid less than $5 a pair for the jeans, less than $25 a pair for the shoes, and less than $5 total for the Hot Wheels.

11 pair of Polo jeans (all in great condition)




Vintage pyrex


5 pair Allen Edmonds shoes (all in great condition)


A bunch of 1984 Olympic stuff including tickets










A bunch of cuff links and a Folex


1961 golf trophy cup


The Hot Wheels (and others)




Tin motorcycle


King Zor (I bought to sell for parts)


Comics


Fake My Little Pony


Hat


Beam


Toddler Batman tee shirt


Watch (it works)


Fort Apache play set

“The Hot Wheels aren’t worth anything!”


Looks like the most valuable maybe the yellowFerrari 512s (back right)

the hat is cool

all these threads do is remind me to get rid of all of my trinkety small shite before I die because my family is just going to throw in a pile for randos to pick through afterwards anyway

I went to one today too



Nikon S9100 bought for $15 and it sells for $125 in this condition with the box





Nikon S9900 bought for $15 and it sells for $200 to $300





Olympus Camera bought for $5 sold for $50 within 30 minutes. I listed too cheap





Flip camera batteries bought for $1 and it sells for $30 for the pair





Fluke multimeter bought for $5 and it sells for $50. Already turned down an offer of $30





Sony Walkman Model D-FS601 bought for $3 and it sells for $45






Also sold some mini DVDR disc I bought for $1 and they sold for $20 already



Nearly $600 in profit potential. Now I see why you like it





This is some LSU junk I grabbed for my game room. Paid $20 for it all

Not sure about that yet but I can imagine there will be when I find something rare.

I love flipping stuff. Plus, now that I am almost out of the backlog of crap I had been needing to sell I figured I would give this a shot. Might be too late but there is a 6 family garage sell I am about to go check out.

Let's see those shoes. If in good condition, those could have a very nice ROI. Likely made before Allen Edmonds lost a ton of quality in last 15-20 years.

Can you imagine finding this box of hot wheels for $5, and then opening it to find a tray of redlines?

Pure adrenaline!!!

I sell primarily on Mercari, and always look for stuff at Estate sales, especially 1/2 price day, I can flip.

I got a ton of old Garfield stuff from the late 70's early 80's - and that stuff sells great.

Is the Fort Apache fairly complete? Usually you only find pieces.
