Isnt it awkward with the seller to say your a reseller.. i feel like they immediately think they could have sold it higher

I was talking to my wife about this, some people just want it gone and are happy with getting say $5 and the reseller is happy too because they can get $30, it’s a win/win.

As someone who has sold and bought from garage sales know what price you are willing to let things go at beforehand. Like the first gentleman. Shouldnt have sellers remorse from a garage sale. Purpose is to get stuff gone

In my experience, the sellers never care when I tell them I resell. They want stuff gone. They know eBay is an option but they don’t wanna do it

I tell 90% of the people I buy from that I'm a reseller. They don't care. Normally, they all say that they don't have the time to put it online or just want it gone.

I sold that bakelite Cardinal set in box for over $200 and also paid a dollar. That was a really good find!

Backgammon pieces can be called many things including stones, droughts, checkers, men, etc … There are several cleaners you can use to test including Form 409 and Wenol. You can also rub it on your jeans and check for a petroleum smell. If it feels like there is give under my fingernail, I usually buy because Bakelite and early plastic is softer.

Easy test for Bakelite - use a bit of Formula 409 on a paper towel and wipe the object - if Bakelite it will leave a yellowish or brown residue on the paper towel. And as per my wife AliceOps great deal on the lunchboxes! Hope the Medi-kit has some accessories in it!

YOU did great with those LUNCH BOXES!! They average at $25 or more for each tin one here in the west!

Those backgammon chips are made of CATALIN. They also make old radios out of the same thing and are highly collectible.

I just bumped into your channel by accident. Have watched about 4 or 5 of your sessions here. Will say this ~ you have a great attitude! That goes a long ways at yard sales. 😉

Love the consistency with uploads!

Did yall move from the other building? If so let us get a new set up tour, great finds!

Great video John !! Love that you’ve been posting so constantly!! Keep them coming lol

Cringey when a sale pulls that crap like the lady did with the Iverson jersey. Glad you left it.

I just found a backgammon set, minus one chip and the board, at my local Goodwill Outlet th8s week. The marble swirl pattern looks very similar to my set except mine are white and brown. The only maker's mark I could find was under the cup shakers. I confirmed mine is bakelite and worth about $100-125.

I LIKE TURTLES

I believe John has plans for them, but I'm a collector,and I don't mind a little rust, gives it character, I don't like that they all didn't have thermos's I thought maybe a few would have been there. But even still with that many I don't think $125-$150 is too much.

Backgammon checkers can be made of bakelite. Bakelite is really heavy for its size (you made the comment that they are light). Most assured way to test for bakelite is with Simichrome polish. I think Kat (Nurse (ret) Flipper) has a video on it.

There is nothing that makes me not want to work with a buyer more than a buyer asking "what's your bottom dollar" or "what's your lowest price?" If you want a lower price, make an offer. 1. It's disrespectful, they are basically saying, I only want to give you the absolute least that your time and experience is worth. 2. It shuts off negotiations. I'm not going to under cut myself and actually say the very least I will go. And if you come back with an offer that is lower than my "least" I just said, the answers going to be absolutely "no" because I would be under cutting myself on every future deal with that person because they know I'm a pushover.

John, my husband and I watch all your videos- you did good on the lunch boxes. Please take a look at that Para-medic play set/ not a lunch bo, but I'm sure you know this by now. It can go for good money especially if it has its orinal doctors' play instruments inside. Can go for $50 to $70 by itself.

The box by itself sells for $15-$30 in better shape. They are all over the place but the price has really come down lately on these.

My man covered the most intriguing lunchbox 😂 since it’s vintage did it say berenstein bears or berenstain

Omg!! $50 for ALL those lunch boxes?? That’s a heck of a score!! Nice!

I know she didnt say $70 for that jersey. I bet she still has them too.

Should of said yes,, when she asked if you are a collector she might of had some more that she didn't bring it out..

The pieces are called pips.

Awesome deals

We never do sales like this in the uk it's very dangerous here😂

The chips might be Bakelite, rub it really hard with your thumb to create friction and if it smells like formaldehyde after then it’s Bakelite

I'm guessing the headphones were 30/35 years old. 90s?

I helped my young 90 year old friend do a yard sale. And we didn’t price everything but she made $1,000 & had some great stuff! But pricing was crazy (of course), ppl came back at the end where we discounted everything. One guy tried to get his goebbels (German) collectables for basically free. So I stepped in & said I’d buy them for X (not what they were marked but 1/2 more. He paid the 1/2 more which was still cheap! He could double or triple his $$ if he was a reseller! There was costume jewelry (minimum) that lots of folks gravitated to (she sold jewelry & just retired from it). Not having the jewelry marked was difficult! She’ll have a separate sale this fall with all jewelry marked.

You just passed on all those tools why? There was probably some money to be made there

Ask Mr. When in doubt part it out Kevin..............

Check for Bakelite. Test with Simichrome polish. Good luck! Blessings, K.T.
