Plus, I stopped at one yesterday (new company in BR has their estate sales mon-thur.

So I spent $280, and am now have sold $531 (before eBay fees).

I still have a few things left, guitar and FR jeans are the big ones. Should sell for about $250.

It’s only been a week and I went ahead and bought a better pan. This one is cast iron, made in Japan (not China)

How did you go with this much effort but miss so hard on the sesame seeds?

Seeds are just garnish.

BTW, I tried to make an omurice omelette tonight. It bombed!!!

I used Oak Grove jambalaya mix (no meat), and added some stir fry veggies. It wasn’t bad.

The sauce was ketchup, A1, wash your sister, shiracha, and soy. The sauce wasn’t bad actually pretty damn good.

Now the omelette, was a hot mess, but I did get it into a football shape. It wasn’t bad actually just too over done to give me that dramatic sliced opening.


Over all together, the taste was a 6/10, rice was 6/10, sauce was 7/10, but the omelette was a 3/10.

It is something I will make again, even if it only comes out like this.

nice! Whats your method for determining if something is potentially of significant value when finding it in a random sale?

---

That’s the fun of my hobby. When I started this hobby 20+ years ago, there were no smart phones. I had to chance it and over time, just learned what or what not to buy. Since smart phones, I could simply just look any and everything up, like a lot of the guys do on YouTube.
Take for instance the wooden cats in the OP. I bought them blindly, but I could tell by the quality they maybe worth something.
The Klein bag was no brainer buy. As a former electrician, I know the value in Klein and Fluke tools. I buy them anytime I see them if the price is right.

Good job. If you’d like to test your Japanese egg cooking skills try making omurice.

I am actually planning on trying to make an omurice tonight. Put it over jambalaya (just for effect). Once I perfect the omelette, I’ll work on the rice and sauce.

Will you link your store again? I sell vintage mens clothing on ebay & Im always in awe of "everything" sellers & how they keep all their inventory straight. I have to bag & label everything with a sku # or I'd never be able to find it. Couldnt imagine just having a pick a bunch of random shite all the time.

I can’t link it but my eBay name is the same as my screen name here

Do you ever come across any vintage Delta Airlines or Pan Am stuff?

---

I do find stuff like that every once in a while, I always buy it, it always does well.
The same goes with anything NASA.
I love aerospace and golden age of commercial airlines.

If I wasn’t working nights last night and tonight, I would have been out all day. But instead, I was only out for a couple hours.

Sure for a $1 nothing to lose. just not sure where the vintage part came from

The just looked vintage to me, with the leather carrying cases, etc

I love the haters. It’s like the movie about Howard Stern. People who liked him listened for an average of 2 hours a day. People that hated him listened for an average of 2.5 hours a day.

I get more replies from the haters.
