Great video Mark and super fast turn around! Our apartment is much roomier now thanks to you and we love it. A couple things I forgot to mention, I put all the Santas I found in the gray box that says "RPPCs and some holiday" on it. And at least one of those long white boxes that is sorted by letters is actually all Illinois towns and cities. Let me know if you have any questions about the way I organized stuff!

Oh No I must be watching too much Marty! :) Thanks John!

I follow his channel, he sells a lot and posts videos all the time. Maybe this was before he got his current setup.

Fun to watch this entire episode; it is obvious that you enjoyed the pick itself and the initial examination of the many boxes of pc’s. Clearly a fair price for this great haul. Lots of work ahead but you will continue to enjoy it. Good luck and happy listing!

You were like a kid on Christmas morning, it was fun to watch. Great deal. One thing not calculated was those archival boxes, they are not cheap . Not that you use them for active listings, but for longer term storage while waiting. P.S. - I could not find that KZread channel as mentioned, I sure would like to check it out. I pretty much only follow finance and ebay reselling channels.

GREAT buy Mark! I sometimes play videos back at 2 times speed. At that speed, I thought you were going to get a heart attack. GOOD LUCK.

Awesome video and what a purchase! It would be fun just looking through all those cards. Should keep you busy for awhile. Best of luck. I know you will do well.

Holy to the Moly, Mr. Mark! Really enjoyed this. Buckhorn, ON even. I've been there once or twice. For anyone curious, those archival boxes are over $25 EACH here in Canada. So I'm kind of jealous just of those! You're going to have a lot of fun with these I think. Thanks for sharing with us, Marky Mark!

I really enjoy your videos. This is a good one. If you have a bunch of New Mexico and/or Southwestern cards, I’d be interested in buying a lot at a reasonable price. I’m following you on EBay.

I need help. Anywhere in NJ that I can cards appraised? I found a shoebox full of 100+ year old cards in the back of a file cabinet that someone threw out like 15 years ago and I just held on to them. I'm a broke millennial and could use the money to pay some bills.

Impressive haul. You just can't go wrong on that price. I also think the seller did okay. You can't ask for the world when you have that much product to unload. He did also have first pick of the lot, and he must know at least a little bit if he has a few thousand postcards listed on eBay. I'm not sure I would want that sort of volume, personally. I have the room but not the will. I like to buy one or two thousand postcards at a time, and I'm trying be really selective. But my CPU ends up being about three times what you paid, so that's the trade-off.
