      I saw that old projector slides can sell for big money on one of your videos. I have about 75-100 in a carousel. Do you think I should check the content before listing?

    Thanks again for all you do! you don’t know how much you’ve
    helped me I’ve went from homeless to just yesterday renting a 3500sqft business space to resell out of.
    I have two part time employees and 1 full time.
    And I am hiring two more by the end of the month. Thanks again. For everything Don.
    I would love to hear about how you work with your employees in future or if you want to contact me directly.
    I would appreciate it so much thanks again for everything.

    Thank you for continuing to give us new BOLO’s! It’s become really frustrating that some of the auction and estate sale companies have started charging premiums for some of the well known collectibles. It’s nice to have other items to look for!

    Bought a huge box lot of them about 3 months ago, and I’m working my way through listing them. Only downside is that buyers sometimes get annoyed because the online game room codes don’t work any longer. Quite often they don’t, so it’s good to mention that in the description.

    Some years back while going thru my old games, I started thinking these will never be worth anything again - gave them all to a cat rescue Toronto for their summer yard sale - Now this.... I sure messed up there.... Thanks for all the info.... I'll go cry in my pillow now.... :)

    Saw a estate sale on FB last Monday afternoon, he had electronic, guitars, video games, old pc's. Had a PS3 console pictured. Unfortunately I could not make it that afternoon. I messaged him the next morning & he said that tall the video games were gone but he had some PC games. I went there 730 in the morning and in a Bedroom he had BOXES of old Big Box PC games maybe 75. I bought them all without going thru the boxes for $160. It is a gold mine! Several games were still in Shrink. I sold a Game called 'One whole Unit of Blood for $250, resident evil2 Platinum for $190 and several others in the $75-$100 range already. There were also some Sega Cd games mixed in. Someone paid $49 for the case & manual without the game. So the video game buyers scooped up all the video games & left all that money there. I always ask about Video games, vintage Board games & Vintage PC games at every sale I go to.

    Such great information always. Been watching regularly as a new sub. Really enjoy watching & sharing your videos. Had a smile on my face when you mentioned Diablo as your favorite. I have a new copy, never used signed by all the artist from Blizzard, gift from my son who was on the Diablo team. Proud mom moment. Thank you Don for all the great content.

    America Online! Remember when AOL had free CDs on display at grocery stores? I think each cd included a certain amount of minutes. I remember being a poor college student and having friends pick up as many as possible to accumulate free internet use.
    If i remember right, email hosting was done on a physical region basis? For some reason i could not use AOL mail. I had to use Netscape or Juno email. God I am so old 👴

    Hello auction professor.. I came across an old Rafael Tuck .. I don’t know if it’s a postcard or an advertising postcard or something else. There is a picture of two children on the front with the saying loves remembrance.. and a poem at the bottom of the card. But on the back it is blank except in the lower left-hand corner there is the letter E... in the middle of the back of the postcard at the bottom is the Rafael Tuck mark..
    Other than that the entire back is blank.. any ideas where I can look for more info?
