I have read a lot of the feedback from other resellers hear, and it makes me sad! Clearly the women in the first part had just lost her husband who was a collector, and She was overwhelmed with having to do this sale. She should have hired an estate sale company to put on this sale. when you go to a sale, ask why they are selling, will give you insight on their frame of mind.
It’s strange when someone runs or has a sale waits for people to arrive then figures what she’s going to charge. Her sitting there on the floor looking up prices is just priceless.
@Jruth68 That's when you tell them to fuck off and move on... I'm not going to do your job for you. Pretty soon I'm going to start photo shopping prices on lazy sellers.
@@Hockeistguyalive If you want to, as she said, sell a house full of overwhelming amounts of shit, quickly, so you can sell the house… then you have to lower the prices significantly. If you want to get top dollar for items, you have to put the time in to do (real) research, photographing and individually listing, storing and ultimately packing/shipping… Can’t have it both ways. Doesn’t work like that.
@@seanwaters9710if it’s the first day….shoot for the top….I know this is odd to hear….an estate sale isn’t actually for resellers to buy cheap and make money….typically always been to sell to the end user….so she should be asking market prices for everything. She’s charging what he would be charging himself….
Bless her heart.. I cant imagine no one else there with so many fabulous things. Not sure she could handle a house full. Hopefully she got a lot more people
I mean that I do admit, she had great stuff that she was willing to sell but but you get out where your cost on having to move all that stuff with you versus y’all want to sell because something tells me a reason she was just googling at the last minute she want to get everybody wants to get the most out of your stuff I mean I can’t blame you for that But if you’re going to nickel and dime a person for everything, it ain’t worth it because I have to wall. Most people won’t go over a certain amount of money no matter how good of a project it is because everyone wants to deal that’s reason to go to yard sales even estate sales it’s just a more like an expensive yard sale that just got miss named that’s all. And then she could’ve gotten a couple hundred dollars from him if she had just made a good deal she could’ve sold all the barrage lunchboxes and stuff and he would’ve probably paid a good six to $700 for the hunter lot instead of trying to nickel and dime And have him pick through the lot and those two nice lamps were nice.

Obviously not REALLY crazy - she had a very nice home & lots of nice things - crazy people don’t do that well financially. People are hard to understand when it comes to their “stuff”. She probably would have done better if she had given up a little control & allowed a professional estate liquidation company to do what they know best.🤩
I work for an estate sale facilitator. It is always super awkward when the homeowner is present for the sale, especially if they micro manage the sale. There have been many sales that, had we been given the opportunity to just do our thing, the homeowner would have made a ton more money. Instead, they question the pricing, and drive away buyers and, many times end up having to donate the leftovers when it gets to be crunch time to move. The lady in this video said she needed to sell her house but didn't seem too anxious to get things sold.
I think we would all be the same because we know how much we paid for things. Everyone wants the highest amount for things. Me personally I would rather give away my items to friends for free rather than sell them. for example watching American pickers to see people nearly have mental break downs on parting with the most worthless junk rather than to just get it out of their hair. I think there was even one episode where Frank had offered way above just to rescue the car and a year latter they call him up only to discover that the car was even more damaged due to a leak in the barn. I have a decent relationship with a lot of Estate sales people and we work out a good deal in the end due to me bundling and a buy a lot. They have to make their money plus money for the home owner and I need to make at least 25% on my items otherwise I have to walk.
It is awkward going to an estate sale when the homeowner is there. The purpose of these sales is for the homeowner to get SOME $$$ because they’re getting ready to sell the home, and the money is probably going to be spent on repairs, upgrades, and storage renting for the move.

My grandparents stuff was sold when I was on the other side of the country and all my aunt cared about was selling the house at that point.
@@davem464So you never comparison shop and just blindly pay any price, right? I’m sure you never look up the value of anything in your sales either. A reseller’s $10 has the same value as a non-reseller’s $10 so why do you care?
Pisses me off to no end when people put the price stickers directly on collectibles (Cardboard and paper boxes instead of plastic areas). They never get the ones that are temp, always the super adhesive type that drop values. Smdh
That's what happens when they price things near ebay prices. I was at one place by myself where they said in their ad everything must go. When I show up I see a $200 marble globe. Price tags on bagged books that say rare on it. Things I usually buy for $2 to $5 marked to $50. If it "must go" then the prices have to be low or no one will buy random things.
I know certain sellers where I don’t go to their sales until the last day because that’s when they finally discount items enough to make sense for me to buy. I also have estate sale companies that I don’t bother with because even at half and nearly everything still unsold, it’s not worth it.
There is one company near me that will do a six day sale and still have most the house left. His prices are at times higher than retail. A deal with him is nocking five bucks of off a $150 purchase. lolI don't understand how these companies stay in business or even get clients.
@@Jruth68 I have several near me that are similar. They price high so they can sell it to 'friends' or clean out and resell it from their own storefronts. Some of it is just shady behavior. Makes me sad for older folks who just wanted a fair value for their stuff. (Also makes me appreciate the companies that do a good, fair job.)
My son was born in 1980, And he absolutely loved micro machines. I haven't seen them anywhere for years in years. And I keep forgetting to tell you Dustin that you're humor cracks me up...pika-poo.. I almost fell out of my chair! Poor Jess..😂
Went to a sale yesterday where everything was priced at the top end of eBay comps. As I talked to the sellers and heard other people negotiate, it was obvious those prices where there for the first hour of the sale. After that… make an offer.
My aunt passed away 2 years ago--she had a house full of stuff, plus the garage, the barn and 2 big sheds. We hired an estate sale company and left the premises the weekend of the sale. They took a significant cut but they did a s***load of prior work and removed all the unsold items at the end. We did alright and mostly didn't have to deal with anything like display and pricing or customers. Money well spent if you ask me. You hire a pro for a reason.
I went to one estate sale on a Friday and spent 1000 and went home listed a sealed VHS from that sale for 1600.00 and it sold in 5 minutes and went back the second day of the sale.
I give you a lot of credit ,you have a lot of patience. I would have been out the door not worth my time. She said she needs to move she needs to sell the stuff so just sell it get rid of it. I guess in the end you should call her a couple U-Haul trucks.
The Hallmark Beatles ornaments bring a pretty penny now. I bought mine new in 93 or 94 for 34.99 I think and that was a pretty penny back then. I got the original shipping box from Hallmark with mine.
Great buys from both of you, I’m sure you’ll get what you want for all! If that clock is retired I would try upgrading to a higher price. Then put accepting offers. I believe eBay does authentication on things. Don’t know how much they want though. Have a fantastic weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
They want EBay prices but they have to understand they have to wait EBay time. One lady got $200 for something she got for $5 but it took her 2 years to sell.
no one showed up prob because the high price tags were in the ad pictures as well. I gauge wheather to go or not depending on price. Some estate runners are delusional, like what is she going to do with all the stuff if it doesnt sell? Seen some estates take one month trying to sell their stuff one sale after another until no one shows up.
That estate sale was so awkward I just wanted it to end. I would have been very blunt and short with her. Make a pile, offer an amount, and if she counters say "no" and start making another pile. When she started the google lens crap Id say "well maybe you can try ebaying them but I came to help clear you out at an estate sale"
I have ZERO point ZERO tolerance for inept people who want HIGH prices and do NO work beforehand . I cannot tell you how many times I just WALK OUT - and let them KNOW I was less than happy. HOWEVER: I have had GREAT satisfaction when I am exiting the home-- AND there is a LINE of PEOPLE waiting to get in ! Then I let it RIP. I walk out with my arms in the air and my THUMBS DOWN ! Then the people on line-- start asking me QUESTIONS !! "Do they have a lot of vinyl?" ME: "Sure - do you like Christmas and Sesame Street records?!:". "Do they have mid-century decorative items?" , ME: "Well , is Marshalls and T,J. Maxx mid-century?" And then I'll give a rant on "If you're a reseller - turn around and go find a flea market" , etc.
Keep your eyes open for Hallmark Lionel trains also. First one was in 1993 and still come out every year. They started with classic Lionel locomotives and then started making sets and are very accurate and well done. Some of these, especially some of the freight and passenger cars are pretty sought after now. A lot of people just bought the locomotives. If you ever run across The Blue Comet set loco, tender and one lighted passenger car. The car is sought after in mint condition. Beautiful train and very accurate to the original Lionel Standard Gauge set produced between 1930 - 1938 or 39. These sets in NM condition bring big money now. I wish Hallmark would have released the other two cars in the following years. You should maybe consider keeping your Hallmark Beatles set. Displays great on a shelf or mantel and stand up great, they never fall over. Great stage with the riser for Ringo and his cymbals are all metal. Really cool piece. Peace ❤
The 2 Enterprise phasers by Art Asylum should sell well. The 2 tricorders are from 2009 though (the JJ Abrams remake with Chris Pine as Kirk) and aren't very sought after. The Mego dolls of Kirk and Spock look to have some parts swaps. Spock's belt, phaser and tricorder look to be from the recent Mego re-imagined releases. Also, about 10 years ago, Diamond Select re-released the old Mego figures. So, they may not be 100% vintage Mego, but I'd buy them all day long at $1 each.
We just went through something like this with my mothers house when my step father passed away. My mother didn't want to have an estate sale because she didn't want anyone to know her house was going to be empty so she called a company that buys and resells stuff. Her house and barn (tools/equipment) looked just like this ladies house. He came through and offered her $138 for everything based on the amount of stuff, size of the crew he would need to move everything, size of truck required and number of trips. I'm not sure if she got scammed or not because he did spend a full day there looking at everything and then showed up for almost a full day with 5 other workers moving stuff out. At the end of the day it saved us the nightmare of figuring out what to do with all the stuff so we looked at the low offer adequate based on only other option was paying someone to come and dump run sell-able items, which didn't really seem like a good idea and we don't have any donation places around us that was willing to take that much inventory.
That Barbie fashion pack at the back of the Barbie stacks might have been a good buy. Mattel makes few fashion packs right now and the quality is crap. Collectors appreciate fashion packs up into even the early 2000s.
I can’t believe I had that Mork and Monday, Strawberry Shortcake, Holly Hobby, Annie, Peanuts, and the Red Plaid that’s crazy. My aunt had the had fruit bowl you looked at and she would scream at us if we would even try to touch it. 😂 🍇🍐🍎🍉🍏
I see a fun yellow m&m fellow watching down on you @25:28, over your right shoulder. Is that a functional thing or just a decorative object? Can't tell if it has some kind of opening
This reminds me, I have 3 Star Trek: The Next Generation Plates from my dad. He bought them for me when I was a teenager because I was obsessed with Star Trek: TNG. Ebay says they're only worth $20 though.
You would have spent HUNDREDS ?? 😂😂😂 I had people showing up with $6.00 to a Golf Course Community Sale. I wasn't selling Used Crocs. Made the mistake of donating a few items. Got hounded for more. Nothing but bored, nosy, mentally challenged, creepy & under the influence.
Is that the Decipher Lotr TCG? I played the Star Wars CCG as a adolescent. After Decipher lost the license I remember seeing a similar box to these Lotr boxes with all the different Star Wars CCG's Decipher produced. I wondered if someone was liquidating Decipher stock, and if these Lotr packs are similar. I think the Star Wars box had generic art and might not have even said Star Wars.
You can print money with those micro machines. I found a bag thrifting that had 16 loose for a buck. I’ve sold about half of them and I have made about $60 profit.
You guys are lucky you you had that caliber stuff there in my area we didn’t even come across half that stuff but I will tell you this. It irks me when I go to an estate sale and they look it up on eBay what they think they can get for it, and try to sell on eBay for sale at that time
Also on that Seco clock, the jewelry stores used to sell those for $500-$700 but recently I seen them for about 100 at most 150 bucks so they’ve come down in price. Yeah $500. I don’t think so they’re not that popular anymore at least I don’t think they are, get rid of it while you can
It’s pretty ridiculous when these “sellers” google price check these items. They forget about the fees, shipping cost, time to list, and to store it all. Not to mention the “dirty” returns every seller gets!
You didn’t miss anything on the lunchboxes. There was nothing there worth much and they weren’t in tip top shape. If you could have gotten them for about $10 each that would have been a good buy. But anything over that and you would have about broken even overall from what I could see.
You have to remember Estate sales are different from tag sales. Estate sales in general are ran by people who were hired to get owners as much as possible. Thats why im general I avoid them. Little wiggle room and no good sales till last day when all the good stuff is already gone.
Who has a house full of brand new merchandise? And even more bizarre is that nothing is priced ahead of time. Did she forget the sale was happening that day? 🤷🏻♀️

These sets in NM condition bring big money now. I wish Hallmark would have released the other two cars in the following years.
You should maybe consider keeping your Hallmark Beatles set. Displays great on a shelf or mantel and stand up great, they never fall over. Great stage with the riser for Ringo and his cymbals are all metal. Really cool piece.
Peace ❤
The 2 Enterprise phasers by Art Asylum should sell well. The 2 tricorders are from 2009 though (the JJ Abrams remake with Chris Pine as Kirk) and aren't very sought after. The Mego dolls of Kirk and Spock look to have some parts swaps. Spock's belt, phaser and tricorder look to be from the recent Mego re-imagined releases. Also, about 10 years ago, Diamond Select re-released the old Mego figures. So, they may not be 100% vintage Mego, but I'd buy them all day long at $1 each.
i had that starter deck pegasus when i was a kid. it costed 15$ brand new back in the 2000’s
We just went through something like this with my mothers house when my step father passed away. My mother didn't want to have an estate sale because she didn't want anyone to know her house was going to be empty so she called a company that buys and resells stuff. Her house and barn (tools/equipment) looked just like this ladies house. He came through and offered her $138 for everything based on the amount of stuff, size of the crew he would need to move everything, size of truck required and number of trips. I'm not sure if she got scammed or not because he did spend a full day there looking at everything and then showed up for almost a full day with 5 other workers moving stuff out. At the end of the day it saved us the nightmare of figuring out what to do with all the stuff so we looked at the low offer adequate based on only other option was paying someone to come and dump run sell-able items, which didn't really seem like a good idea and we don't have any donation places around us that was willing to take that much inventory.
You got robbed
That Barbie fashion pack at the back of the Barbie stacks might have been a good buy. Mattel makes few fashion packs right now and the quality is crap. Collectors appreciate fashion packs up into even the early 2000s.
Man! That estate sale by yourself would of been awesome!! 🎉
Nice score Dustin. I sold one of those Seiko Melodies In Motion clocks back in July for $140 plus shipping. They sell kind of fast too.
Best kind alone you get all the good stuff
I LOL'ed akwardly loud about the Peekapoo joke... 😂
The lunch boxes are super cool but I stay away from them anymore they pile up just like that
Loved the Star Trek stuff
Sheldon Cooper is drooling over that 2nd stop
Yeah cool stuff but crappy prices
I can’t believe I had that Mork and Monday, Strawberry Shortcake, Holly Hobby, Annie, Peanuts, and the Red Plaid that’s crazy. My aunt had the had fruit bowl you looked at and she would scream at us if we would even try to touch it. 😂 🍇🍐🍎🍉🍏
mork and mindy
I see a fun yellow m&m fellow watching down on you @25:28, over your right shoulder. Is that a functional thing or just a decorative object? Can't tell if it has some kind of opening
The yellow m&m lights up and is listed.
Never got into star trek but those micro machines looked cool 😊
I had a U.S. Mail lunch box when I was little!
That can opener is great loved it till we moved.
Awesome as always always learn loads lots of love and respect from Scotland ❤
The comp you put up for the YuGiOh starter deck was for the first edition. Yours is the unlimited. It won't fetch as much.
Thanks for the heads up. I see now there's a difference in the Konami logos on the front, one being the older logo and the other the new one.
This reminds me, I have 3 Star Trek: The Next Generation Plates from my dad. He bought them for me when I was a teenager because I was obsessed with Star Trek: TNG. Ebay says they're only worth $20 though.
i think you showed incredible restraint at this sale. I would have spent hundreds!
You would have spent HUNDREDS ?? 😂😂😂
I had people showing up with $6.00 to a Golf Course Community Sale. I wasn't selling Used Crocs. Made the mistake of donating a few items. Got hounded for more. Nothing but bored, nosy, mentally challenged, creepy & under the influence.
Is that the Decipher Lotr TCG? I played the Star Wars CCG as a adolescent. After Decipher lost the license I remember seeing a similar box to these Lotr boxes with all the different Star Wars CCG's Decipher produced. I wondered if someone was liquidating Decipher stock, and if these Lotr packs are similar. I think the Star Wars box had generic art and might not have even said Star Wars.
Those jumbo troll dolls wouldve probably been good
What a selection to choose from!
16:15 hahaha I laughed after you said the joke was terrible
You can print money with those micro machines. I found a bag thrifting that had 16 loose for a buck. I’ve sold about half of them and I have made about $60 profit.
Wouldn't say that's printing money 😂😂
I saw the Doctor Who piece and wondered why you didn't pick it up. With the new Doctor coming, it would have sold fast
She eventually grabs it, it actually sold today for 99.99 shipped!
I love being the only one at an estate sale. Almost feels wrong, lol. Nice finds
The only wrong part is the way this this women is managing their sale. I would have left
Oh my gosh the Pegasus start deck is a yugioh grail! They are SO hard to find
Wow, your work area has really come a long way, gratz! :)
Thanks!
Sometimes it’s hard to know when an estate sale is taking place. Only way I know is because one of my co workers goes to a lot of them.
Great video.❤
You guys are lucky you you had that caliber stuff there in my area we didn’t even come across half that stuff but I will tell you this. It irks me when I go to an estate sale and they look it up on eBay what they think they can get for it, and try to sell on eBay for sale at that time
I had that Strawberry Shortcake lunch box 🍓
You got a great deal on the electric can opener. Lol
Does she not realize that after he leaves, she's stuck with all that crap? People are amazing.
I would have been in heaven with all that Star Trek stuff
Also on that Seco clock, the jewelry stores used to sell those for $500-$700 but recently I seen them for about 100 at most 150 bucks so they’ve come down in price. Yeah $500. I don’t think so they’re not that popular anymore at least I don’t think they are, get rid of it while you can
Damn that was a gold mine.how lucky you are
looks like a reason why no one else was there❤
Never less than 10 waiting 2 hours before around here 😊
“Oh, you’ll get more than that” - sure.
Wow she is the ultimate collector of everything collectable!
You would think she wants to sell so she doesn't have to take it. It's either sell or throw away.
I loved and still love Star Trek Enterprise ❤
We're actually on a rewatch of it right now. We're mid way into season 2 at the moment.
@@propicker sweet! I was just recently thinking about getting the series on DVD
The Pikachu joke was not terrible ~ made me laugh Pikapoo😂😂
It’s pretty ridiculous when these “sellers” google price check these items. They forget about the fees, shipping cost, time to list, and to store it all. Not to mention the “dirty” returns every seller gets!
It's hard to work with people like that
There were tons of great items still at that sale. I would’ve bought a lot more
Weird that noone else was there!
You didn’t miss anything on the lunchboxes. There was nothing there worth much and they weren’t in tip top shape. If you could have gotten them for about $10 each that would have been a good buy. But anything over that and you would have about broken even overall from what I could see.
Nice finds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great sale!!!
The ole pre estate sale!
Enjoyed ❤
im surprised she didn't charge for the box
Wish you looked at the art on the walls
I did give some of it a quick look. It didn't make the edit though.
Some people have a garage sale or an estate and don't sell a thing cause they price stuff too high!
You have to remember Estate sales are different from tag sales. Estate sales in general are ran by people who were hired to get owners as much as possible. Thats why im general I avoid them. Little wiggle room and no good sales till last day when all the good stuff is already gone.
Who has a house full of brand new merchandise? And even more bizarre is that nothing is priced ahead of time. Did she forget the sale was happening that day? 🤷🏻♀️
By the way, I meant the original Lionel Blue Comet is very valuable now, not the ornaments.
That’s why nobody was there🥰
Wolfman's Goodies says that's cool 😎
My favorite Reselling couple. Sell that pikuchu at the right price. I sold my fat hasbro pikuchu at $199. Could have sold for $350.
Thank you!
How early did you show up compared to the start time
Roughly 30 minutes before, but usually people are lined up before that in our area for estate sales.
@@propicker yeah, only 30 minutes makes it even more surprising
Another good video
