John, it is great when you explain your thought process regarding why or why not you buy something. Most channels don't. Your explanation helps resellers learn from you what may seem like a pretty good deal may not be a good deal. Thank you.
Hey John i just went to my first garage sale today and found some really good items because of you. I thank you for all that you’ve taught me and now i cant get enough of garage sales and want to go every minute of every day! I would just like to thank you.
Hey John Gregg from resale traders here, the ET Atari game should get good money and it is not a myth about Atari burrying them, there is a documentary on Netflix about this.
Hey C.P. .. your videos have inspired me to go garage sale hunting lately. I'm having fun and I always use your catchphrase "Good luck with your sale". Yesterday I found 4 binders of Topps baseball cards. Each one was an incomplete set there was a 1959, 1960, 1965, and 1972. About 1500 cards total. A lot of commons but some good ones too. She sold em all to me for $95. I listed them in 4 auctions on Ebay. The bids are already over $500. Keep up the good work! And Thanks for your great videos.
Atari:Game Over (2014) is a documentary about the collapse of the video game industry in 1983. Short version: Atari games had become very popular, so popular that way too many poorly designed games flooded the market and eventually killed the market. The most notorious of those games,"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", was rushed to market (5 weeks to create it) so it would be available when the movie premiered. It was given almost universally negative reviews and sold poorly. Atari did in fact dump thousands upon thousands of video games in a landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico, but ET was just one of many unsold titles that were dumped. So the story is part myth but it is mainly true. What is that saying about one man's junk being another man's treasure?
Spacemaker items are becoming more sought after due to the camping/RV world as well as the tiny house movement. It doesn’t use up any of the limited counter space.
Hey John I sold the Atari system separate for parts for $25 I think. The joysticks sold good by themselves and as for the game Qburt ET space invaders and some other popular games sold for me 5-10 just game untested. Hope that helps you out. ET seems to not be a myth but sells for a lot if you have the Og case and manual it can bring in some money. Happy selling!!
Just a heads up at 1:43 albums like Provacative Percussion sell really well and usually get $10-15. Keep an eye out for some of those off the wall and experimental records. Cheers!
Just a thought on the litter genies. Maybe someone has already said this but did you consider buying them and selling the cartridges out of them? That is assuming they all had one as a starter.
Nice find John. The Panasonic camera you found look like to be a 40 - 50 on eBay wasn't too bad of a score. For the camera do you test it out before you sell it or do you sell it as is? I know tape can be rare too.
Hi from Canton Ohio! Came to you recently from Kevin's vids...Anyways..wanted to say about the cat litter trays--- Even if you didn't think they were worth it to you, I would've bought them and donated them to shelters or rescues, and you could've wrote them off your taxes for a 'reasonable value' on your taxes!--- and helped out TRULY needful causes---just a consideration for the future! I always keep an eye out for stuff that will help, even if I can't use it myself.👍😉
Hi John: When buying record albums: what is your criteria for choosing (you it so quickly) and how much do you sell them for in your antique booth--single price for all? Love your videos--I've learned so much. Thank you.
Command Records (the first sale with the gloss white covers - I think they had Persuasive Percussion and a few others) are collectible. They'd probably sell well at the booth. Sony remotes are pretty common at thrift stores. The nice thing about Sony remotes is that many of them are usable with a wide range of their products. For a DVD/VCR, just look for one that says "Video" under the Sony logo at the front bottom of the remote. The ET Game is common and a generally bad game, so pretty valueless in open condition. But the Atari deck with the wood grain front may be more valuable than you think.
Do you log all of your inventory on a computer or do you do everything on your phone? You seem to find what bin everything is in and what you paid very easily and you remember if you have sold the piece previously. I know that you are very organized.
An atari game to look out for is Swordquest Waterworld. There was 3 swordquest games on the atari but only waterworld is really worth anything. I got really lucky at a thrift store last year and got a copy for $6 for just the cart. Sold it for $250 and used it to buy some more expensive gamecube games.
What kind of cameras sell well for you? I see cameras a lot at garage sales but I always pass on them because I figured everyone has a camera phone nowadays...
Nice Atari lot. I bought a ton of Atari stuff for $500 around Easter from a retro store and have doubled my money with a ton still to sell. John, you have some red label Atari games. Those are worth selling alone. Also, check to see if you have any zellers exclusive games ( they have funky artwork). These were games made exclusively for zellers, a Canadian retail store like sears. Those games go for good money. Best of luck.
Ditto. When he was holding the 2600 (they're both 2600's, one is just a re-design) and he goes "I'm not sure what model this is..." I felt incredibly old. Also, I had that Spider Fighter game and it was awesome.
YOU PICKED UP ALL THAT ELECTRONIC STUFF FOR A BARGAIN - BLACK AND DECKER ITEMS ARE ALWAYS GREAT - I HAVE MY 1/4 INCH ELECTRIC DRILL FROM THE EARLY 1980'S AND IT IS STILL WORKING GOOD !!!! WOW AND WOW AGAIN ON ALL THAT ATARI STUFF - GREAT FIND INDEED - WE REMEMBER ATARI VERY WELL - ANOTHER SUPER COOL VIDEO AND PLEASE STAY SAVE AND GREETINGS FROM AUSTRALIA !!!!
Hey John is the Panasonic charger 6v? I'm looking for one for a vintage tape recorder I have on sale on ebay. Could you put the link to the listing on this comment thanks. Great haul on that Atari not much money but for keeps is a great bundle for those into video games.
The Atari manuals probably have some good value with cheap shipping. Might even want to piece those out rather than sell with the games... What did you pay for all the Atari stuff?
How much total did you pay for the box of Atari stuff? I just picked up a similar lot but it had the boxes.There was also a Tele-game system and games also. Just curious if we paid a similar amount or if I overpaid.
Hey John, just wanted to say some of those Scooby Doo games are good to buy if they’re cheap. Most are about $10-20. Also, how do you pick the garage sales you go to every weekend? Seems like I never find enough good ones
Great video! John I have a question. How do you get sticky glue off of items? Any help would be appreciated. I have a metal cigarette sign and some sticky pads got stuck on the front. Gross.
Idk what your name is, but I came across your videos about 3 days ago .I watch alot of baseball card videos and then your videos just popped up on my feed and now I can't stop watching you! 👍 Keep up the food work.
Gr8 find's John... Nice Sony handy cam video camera... Also awesome Atari game system's love that 2600... Nice!!! I don't like when I go to a sale and no price's on the stuff... Usually means high price... Stay safe... 👍💕🔥⚾😷
Awww $10 was a good deal for the first bundle....their eyes lit up when you said $36 for the trays....then you passed....you nearly got them over excited....another great video.
Hey Buddy, I love your videos. I know you didn't get the Atari deal on video, but was SO curious if you got a great deal? I didn't hear you say how much you paid.
Ooo purple LEGO bucket 2:03. I enjoy watching ya. I admire you and your channel and I hope to have enough courage to start a channel like you one day. Living vicariously through your channel for now. From the Trash Chipmunk in Tucson, Az
Sorry to say the only Atari game in that lot worth selling on its own is Off The Wall, maybe a $15-20 sale. After that, Double Dunk and Solaris mostly because they were late titles, but will still be sub-$10 each. Most everything else is 5 and under individually. ET has the benefit of a story behind it, but has always been a common as dirt title. Without going into terrible detail on the models, (there are guides online,) the *original* Atari has six switches across the front. One version is notably heavier, thusly nicknamed “heavy sixer,” and is worth some money. 4 switch models are common. The 2600jr models are a little less common, but generally not worth a whole lot more. I could go on forever. But finally If you don’t care about keeping things together, you can probably sell those manuals as a separate lot on their own and get as much for them as the games.
I had success with those litter genie. Bought for 1.50 a 3 pack and sold for 21 on ebay within 3 days of posting. I made about 11 dollars after fees and everything
Finally went to sales in my area on Friday. Went to 8 of them but most had stuff way over priced for resale. Only spent $32, which for me is like nothing. CP you’re lucky you can find decent priced stuff.
Atari E.T. is not rare or valuable. It's a hard game to play and was never popular, so it sold relatively poorly. Still there's plenty to go around and little demand. Yes, some of the excess inventory was buried. You can see a video about someone who found the stash.
@@SK8R43 Probably, but this is one of those myths that keeps going around, like Disney VHS being valuable, and has no basis in fact. I'd rather make a comment like this for those who have heard stuff like this and don't know the truth. I have no doubt John knows better.
I agree that the E.T. game is not rare or valuable. In fact, if memory serves me, I believe that after the game came out, Atari started going under, and they were hoping for a different outcome after the game was released.
Having a garage/moving sale at my house in Amberley this Saturday and Sunday. Message me if you want details. I buy storage lockers so to say I have a large inventory might be an understatement
I went to a lot of sales like that today in a community wide sale. Sometimes, I feel myself sounding like you and Lonnie when I go to sales. I hear myself saying the same words you guys do. #nothingmarked #makemeanoffer
This is way better then American Pickers, just watching him shop is so relaxing. Only thing I don't like is the name it should be Milwaukee Brewer Picker LOL.
jus started watching about a week ago n I haven’t stopped
It’s addictive right! Watching someone work the yard sales is strangely compelling.
Same!
This channel interesting

Same my dude

Great sourcing trip John! Thanks for sharing and for all you do to help out our reselling community...... Rick
John! “Great deal but I don’t think I can use all of them”. YOU’RE not the one who’s supposed to be “using” the kitty litter boxes. The cats are. 😉 😂💕

I bet those ladies thought you were weird when you said you didn't think you could use 18 cat litter boxes, I was cracking up!
who knows, maybe someone in the world has 200 cats at home XD

Hair clippers...so overlooked but often times such good money. Awesome pickups, buddy!
Nice score on those db9 to serial mouses new in the package for $2.00 each. You can resell them for like $25-$30 each.
I’m a 13 year old reseller I’ve been doing it for about a year and I love it. Easy money
gomessia yeah duh. I don’t do clothing though.
Xoquez “duh”
The space maker item you didn't know what it was, is an electric can opener. It flips down. I had one a long time ago!

Hey john I been at least watching fro about 5 months now and you taught me a lot about garage sale buying an eBay❤️ keep up the good work
Were you watching while locked up & snitching on your people? 😁
Just a heads up at 1:43 albums like Provacative Percussion sell really well and usually get $10-15. Keep an eye out for some of those off the wall and experimental records. Cheers!
I could literally sit and watch one of these garage sale vlogs every single day😂 awesome video as always!
Love your videos! What type of camera glasses do you use?
Just a thought on the litter genies. Maybe someone has already said this but did you consider buying them and selling the cartridges out of them? That is assuming they all had one as a starter.

6:17 the box next to the dolls are geotrax which is what i resell, they go for pretty good money, missed opportunity but still a good day.
Hi from Canton Ohio! Came to you recently from Kevin's vids...Anyways..wanted to say about the cat litter trays--- Even if you didn't think they were worth it to you, I would've bought them and donated them to shelters or rescues, and you could've wrote them off your taxes for a 'reasonable value' on your taxes!--- and helped out TRULY needful causes---just a consideration for the future!

I wish I could set up the day of. I have to start setting up on a Wednesday for a Friday, Saturday, Sunday yard sale. We have that much stuff.

How do you record these? Do you have the GoPro head mount on... if you do I love the confidence to walk up with a GoPro on the head

I played one when I was a kid & I'm only 34!
Excellent pick John.....🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good stuff...Never missed your vids this month...Great watching after a long day of work...Hope you sell great...Have a good day
I need to start garage sale-ing . I’ve been doing Walmart clearance on my channel but garage sales look amazing

You also have a few activision games. Those will do well in their own lot.
At 3:30 you scanned the item. What app/ service did you use??
Looked like ebay app
I learn from one of the best Cincinnati Picker! Love the videos man been here since I think around 2k subs still watching every video never miss one!

I thought that haha!!!

The thrill of garage sale hunting.. :-) I always look forward for garage sales.
Awww $10 was a good deal for the first bundle....their eyes lit up when you said $36 for the trays....then you passed....you nearly got them over excited....another great video.
They do not make the space saver any longer and they are very sought after. Usually one of the first things to go at my mothers Estate Sale Business.

I want that B and B book !!
I love your videos 🙏🏽
Excellent video
The cat litter gennie is $14.99 in target. $2! That was great for non sellers just cat owners !!
How many things do you average selling a week on ebay
Why no video footage at the Atari sale? Did they ask you not to film? Does that happen? Do you ask permission to video at each sale?
Dude I don’t know why but everytime I watch one of your videos I get flashebacks of toy story 2 😅👌

Hey john great video🐐
For a second, I thought you were going to turn into the litter pan king.
It's true about the ET game being destroyed. I remember seeing it on the news, back in the 80's.
Could have put those cat litter things on fb marketplace?
BIG FAN OF CP
i am unsure if the ET game is worth, but there is a doc. about the demo of thousand of that game. love the content
16:34 was my favorite part lol
I believe you can still get a good price for a working Atari 800 computer, particularly with a working disk drive.
There are some valuable games on Atari. The manual will definitely increase the value of lower value games, though.
Nice score with the Atari's ! Jealous !
This is way better then American Pickers, just watching him shop is so relaxing. Only thing I don't like is the name it should be Milwaukee Brewer Picker LOL.
hey john, nice pick in Cleveland
Are you going to test the toaster?
Why didn’t you want the tripod to go with the camera? In the first sale
Man, I saw that tripod. I need that. Should have picked that up for me, lol.
Great
Where were the litter boxes at ?
How does he find so many yard sales where
Im from u see once a year
Midwest US is yard sales 3/4 of the year; they only shut down for winter. Then there's indoor sales like estate sales that aren't dependent on season.
