Very true. I wish all resellers would come to a common respect with one another and the sale owners as well. However, there’s always going to be those few who want to have the upper hand over others, so it’s really difficult to be 100% respectful of the sale & actually get some good finds at the same time. Very unfortunate.

Personally, I think reselling is one of the least dignified professions a person can choose. Like, what public good are these people serving? Making sure eBay and Amazon earn an extra 11% on sales? Gross.

if shes sellng the house shes gonna make 500k and to research and sell piece by piece is not worth her headache. Judeging by her age time is of the essence. I've been to an estate where the owner sat upstairs, took one last look at his belongings, closed his window shades and everyone outside took everything for free.
Imagine if she didn't post pictures of what was there: It might not have been as insane. Resellers and gamers probably drive over 100 miles just to get their hands on stuff.
This lady could have max so much money if she sold everything to a collector
That sale was absolutely insane, never seen anything like that. 50/50 isn't quite fair when you have two people and he only has one, unless you got two picks to his one of the total haul. thanks for sharing.

I miss the days when most video games were worthless. These days, it’s always a fierce competition with the resellers.
If I had a garage sale I would joke around and ask casually if they were resellers. If they said yes, before the sale I would tell them to get off my property.

This is just ridiculous. That’s why I got out of the video game collecting area. Not worth dealing with so many resellers, collectors and jerks. Not saying you’re a jerk or anything as you are one of the few good resellers on KZread. But locally here it’s a complete guessing game of what sales to go to first and if video games are advertised in a sale, they go instantly.

It really is hit or miss with video games. However it does feel really good to get lucky and pick through games when you’re the only one at a sale
I do resell but I am a collector first. This would have been both a treasure chest and a nightmare. The way people were grabbing it reminded me of fish at a feeding frenzy. Especially these days because I can't move around like I used to. Just a shame that seller just didn't do private sales and then yard sale the left overs. I think it would have benefited her in the long run. Thanks for posting this because regardless, this is just incredible.
What a crazy 3 days. I bet she was absolutely exhausted each day. Fair play to her for not selling at exorbitant rates. Also, respect to you for owning up to your misdeeds. Hopefully the other guy will do the same and you can go back to being just regular competitors. Love your videos 🐈😺🐈⬛

That kind of behavior is reason I no longer source from Garage Sales. The idea of getting up early, fighting and stressing just to make a few hundred dollars not worth it anymore.

You can still source good items later just not video games. I remember going to one sale where someone just a minute before me bought a bunch of ps2 games. I looked around and found a gps for $10 that sold for $150 and a bunch of service repair manuals that one which sold for over $100. Video games don’t always have the best margins and everyone wants them learn other categories and you’ll be fine.

She didn't stop and think for a second, HMM, Maybe I'm undervaluing these by a large amount?
Reminded me of going to the Goodwill Outlet (Good Cents Bins) before and a couple of women were grabbing arms full of clothing and throwing them into their carts without sorting through them at all. They were grabbing everything they could possibly grab. LOL. 😁 I stood back watching one women next to me and then I started piling the clothes on her arms for her. She just looked at me like I was the crazy one for helping her!! 😁 People are greedy. Everyone wants a deal BUT.

Horrible resellers and horrible yard sale planning. She should have done a proper, more organized sale.
I gotta say the nastiest encounters at yard sales I have ever had were at sales that had quantities of video games - No respect for who was there first or truth telling. Its almost like they are made of solid gold. Definitely easier and more civil buying at auctions but very pricey that way.
The sound of video games smashing into each other moved oceans 😂😂😂

You did a great job at handling the situation, it's easy to get caught up in the moment, it's how you redeem yourself that shows your character.
