I’ve missed a $1 to-84 plus bc the seller didn’t have change. Lesson learned I go to the bank and get 1, 5 & 10 every Friday before yard sale/flea market. Get change!
EXACTLY!
you dont go the shop and expect them not to have change so i dont see the diffrence here
5/10/20 or 50 would still have made u profit?
Change is a shared responsibility, but at 7am... it's definitely on the seller.
I've gone to the flea market with only enough money to set up, hoping to make money for bills. I never had change. I don't remember missing any sales in the morning and soon enough I had change 😅😅😅
We just got a box full of antique dolls for $100. We just looked up a few dolls on top to make a decision and figured one could pay for the box. When we got home and looked at all the dolls individually, only one is worth $1000 or more so far. I agree on the take a chance sometimes when people are looking over your shoulder situations.
When I have a yard sale, I always have lots of change because buyers don’t always come prepared. When I am a shopper I always bring lots of change so I can make deals quickly and efficiently
That and it is very awkward when someone is selling an item for 10$ and you talk them down a few bucks.....look them in the eye and hand them a $10 and ask for change 😂
I’ve done good with Sealed models! Last one I bought was at a thrift store for less then 10.00 and sold it around 100.00! I think it was a Boat Model. Some car ones do well too! Great buy , easy listings and easy shipping! Gotta love it!
I bought a few sealed models at a yard sale for $5 each. Most only sold for $12-15. Hopefully you got some that will be higher in value. My best "risk" was when I first started sourcing as a reseller. I came across a lady at a yard sale with a large bin of Hallmark Ornaments. All from some family member and almost all stored in the original box. I paid $50 not knowing hardly anything about them. And that was a lot of money for me as a newbie!! Ended up that there were SO many ornaments in there, that each ornament came out to costing only thirty cents a piece! One of them I listed right before Christmas and sold almost instantly for $80. Not bad for someone who's still learning the game! :)
That's actually the best way to learn what sells. Now you have a good idea of what Hallmark ornaments are worth picking up. Good lessons ❤
I’m jealous about your 60° weather. It snowed last night and it’s already melted this afternoon but it’s not warm by any means. Every day is going to get warmer. I cannot wait to feel the warmth I am so over winter.
I believe you and Haley have good gut instincts. 😊 Trust your gut
If buyers keep buying with large bills... sellers might be running out of change faster. I think it's the responsibility of the sellers to try to keep sufficient change.
I always take a huge float with me when I sell.
I would say both
It’s always good to keep $150-200 in change as a seller but it’s still risky to go to a market with a big purse already.
I say it is both. I have seen buyers going through and buying $1-$5 items and giving each vendor a $20 saying thats all they have. So both.
Sellers always should have change. Imagine going to a business and trying to pay and they say…’sorry, can’t sell you that because I don’t have change.’ It’s their loss.
Definitely on the seller to have change! and be prepared for 100s. Even though it is irritating as a seller to get them, be ready!
The copper disk "lamp" is a heater, There was a screw in heating element and a wire basket guard over the face.
Hayley and Josh!!! Thanks for taking us along!!! I appreciate you both so much!!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!
For small but niche collections like that I always straight up ask the seller to point out the highest value item and then I’ll pick a second one using my limited knowledge and see what they amount to.
That’s what helps me notch>aim>release my funds without too much consternation or fear.
Knew it was going to be a good video, Haley finding $5. God bless stay safe until the next video 💓 😍
Zo is wearing a Chef vest so of course he wanted the Chefs to win.
Thank you for trying to buy something from every seller. That is very nice.
Shout from Australia. At 1.36 on the vid there was a Premiership (that’s what we call champions) Australian Football League Adelaide Crows cap. That is vintage as they only won it in ‘97 and ’98. That would go big in Australia. Shout out to @2aussiethrifters.
Not vintage it’s repro, I have the same cap and it has different writing to the vintage one on it definitely repop
As a seller, I'd always have change....but if a buyer is going to negotiate then they better have the right change :)
70 year old Granny picker here. I always have exact change because it makes the transaction go faster and I can move on to the next deal, especially at garage sales and flea markets the competition has gotten a lot worse here in California.
I agree, I think the change or smaller bills is the responsibility of the seller. I also think it’s important to carry bills of all sizes. You never know what you will buy and how much a bundle of items can cost. Thank you for another great video you two! Sending you both many blessings and ❤from 🇨🇦
As a seller I usually carry 300 in change to a show. I appreciate people that are thoughtful enough to bring small bills.Early in the day I refuse 100 bills for 5~10 dollar items.Some sellers come into a show dead broke with no change and barely enough money to get there.
I got so excited when I got an alert for a new video! Lol
Sellers should always be prepared and have change!
I love how that lady had all her toys with batteries in them
Sometimes it's worth it to buy something just to learn if it's good to sell, if you like selling it and shipping, etc. Growth comes from taking risks!
Exactly 🎉
Thats a ton of klein screwdrivers at 12:51. I wonder what the price was on those. They make some of my favorite screwdrivers.
Mose for president!!! I think the change issue falls on both parties
The hat stand you passed would be great for your booth for all the hats you have
I’ve really been into the vintage jackets and starter jackets recently. That 80s jacket was very cool.
We love Jeff Gordon, when he left we lost intrest in Nascar.
Sorry but it’s both parties fault for not having the right money. Yes he lost out on a sale but you lost out on something you could sell for a profit. Just saying
I think you made a good deal on the models. Hope you score big.
That’s the beauty of bulk buying sometimes it throws up a surprise and you can always just get money back to get out of it there’s an old saying if yo get desperate your first loss is your best loss.when it’s just not working clear the decks and move on to something that will bring you a profit
Thanks for your time and video !!😊
Posting this before someone else does:
"How dare you not go around and ask everyone if they dropped a $5 bill! Resellers are the worst!" 😂
Great job y'all! Love the video!
🫣😳😂
When you say at the end of this video on taking a risk I watch you guys all the time that's how I learn the business so I'm going to say if you're going to take the risk then I'm learning to take risk
I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you
I like the plush and bag content 😂 but my favorite content is still the local goodwills. Also the vendors should have change but as a local and regular buyer I think its good practice to carry smaller notes that will help you get even better deals. Nothing more annoying when a buyer rocks up with a big note and clears out your smaller notes. Its a 50/50 hand in hand situation I feel. But always love the content 🤌
It's totally the sellers responsibility to have change. I been selling st flea markets for years so i always try to make sure I have change, but many times someone will come along at start of sale and pay with a $100 bill which sucks.but if I'm low on ones or whatever I just exchange with another vendor.
He was talking about South Carolina basketball. The men beat us (Kentucky) like he said and I will very impressed with them. They have actually beat us 2 years in a row. That new coach they have is a good one! SC was picked to finish last in the SEC so they have really done well. That being said that got beat bad last night vs Auburn. Also, the women's team is the only D1 school that hasn't lost a game! Anyways, Go CATS!
Trust your gut! Those are often the best adventures!!
OMG you left the sadness plush from inside out on Miss Jackies table 😭😭
Great haul today guys ,well done 😊😊xx❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🌺🌺
Great findings 👍
As the saying goes " find a penny pick it up & it will bring you luck " I live in England and i found a £5.00 on the ground, lots of people must of walked past it.
My late father used to say to us x5 sisters and brother " when in town keep your window down, meaning to look around all the time as you don't know what is under your feet "
“What the flea market tell me we need.” Ain’t that true.
We are headed to the Webster Flea Market on Monday, its supposed to be the best sale of the year, hope to run into you guys there !
Definitely some cool finds
I would be scanning the barcodes on the models to see the margins. I like to take my time on stuff like that
Like I keep saying - you guys always have a good time. Like you content. Stay safe.
Impressed that the first stop had an Adelaide Crows Aussie Rules cap (1m37s) for sale. The Crows won back to back titles in 97 & 98, so it looked in good shape for that vintage.
Not vintage it’s repro, I have the same cap and it has different writing to the vintage one on it definitely repop
I think the models purchase was good. You can sit on them and let them sell over time.
Thank for the update on the those sealed cards lol I always wondered if they sold or not.
Models cost about $25+ new now days. Some of those look like remakes of older model kits. If they were original older ones you wouldn’t have gotten them for that price. Some are crazy high. But a good buy I think over all.
100% agree about JG!
Nike jacket was a steal
I dont see any comments on maybe its the responsibility of both parties to have change. Ive been buying and selling for over 30 years and its amazing how many small sales of 2 and 3 dollars and everyone is paying with a 20 dollar bill. As a buyer I want to hand the person 2 dollars and go to the next sale. Once it was 2 dollars and I handed her a 5 dollar bill and she said she had to go inside and get the change. It took her nearly 10 minutes. SO it just helps if everyone could be prepared to help themselves and each other.
I think you are managing your risk well, by buying a bulk lot, but not over-spending on the size of lot. A big difference with the disney truck-load that you bought. There everything was a brand name and the spend-per-item was quite low (and hence your risk was low too).
Buying collections is good provided they are not too large or too expensive. It's better when it is an adult child downsizing in a hurry. I know you realize not everyone has the platform you have- and I know you are grateful for it- but the rest of us need to buyer lower than you can
;D
I've done well with opened models, so sealed should do even better.
No control over what you're going to find... but that's part of the fun 😊
Model cars normally run you $30 to 40 apiece in a store and you got some of the older ones so don’t let them scam you because my husband model cars but he passed away
Just depends on how approach bundle type negotiations. Some people are cut throat low ballers or respectfully "what's your lowest you'll take?" Get these off your hands. If your confident in the original deal just take time to assess what your getting into. Look up comps in front could be frowned on but you taking a risk. But you seem like it hopefully pan out for you.
Great video guys. Just by what I saw on the models you should more than double your money plus
3:18 I get that the sellers should have changed but it's also the responsibility of the buyer to be considerate an example is that a buyer buys something of $2 and wants to pay with a $100 like common 😮💨😤
Omg core memory activated with body fantasies body spray and lotion!! 💞 (Minute 9:57) Please go back and buy for resale 😄
Aaaggghhh. Great purchase, but in today's market I would struggle without seeing comps on the models. You, however, will do fine.
Should have popped up and put the $5 into the house flip budget :)
I believe both should have change/small bills. The seller will probably need more because they will most likely be there longer and deal with more people.
Go to bank and get 100 singles
Keep a stack at home... Problem solved plus its easier to negotiate it buyer has singles. If yiu have twenties its harder to negotiate
Seller's are responsible for having change.... accommodating the buyer!
I once found a bowling shirt with my name embroidered at a thrift store for a good deal. Monogram isnt always bad😅
On your whatnot shows you will get a 100.00 a peice for those models..
Nah. Those days are past
Well dang, but you sure had a good run@@HairyTornado
Everyone saying that the Adelaide crows premier cap is from 97 premiership, you are all wrong. This is repro or repop that was released a few years ago. The real vintage cap has Camry crows sponsorship logo under the shield, so calm down it’s not the vintage cap at all !!
I think you took a very smart and very good risk On the models I would take so many and put them online and the rest
@ 4:00 thats how Flea sellers should price... not looking up Ebay prices
03:37 he honestly got his wish
You can find games, controllers at yard sales.
If it's free, I'll take three. Nice find on the Golf Net.
HELLO HAIRY TORNADO. HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD TIME IN FLORIDA. I LIVE IN FLORIDA
Love Kenny Chesney. And I agree, seller should have the change.
What tires did you get on the 4runner? Looks sweet
I don’t remember what they were called but we made a video where we thrifted money to pay for them lol
I am cautious about picking stuff up. it could have fentanyl powder on it. That is what I was told from someone.
I really don’t think that’s an issue that should concern anyone. Unless you’re a police officer patting down a suspect.
🤣🤣
I know you've done it before, but Haley should do a $5 to $500 video with the $5 she found.
Score on those models those are super cool I remember when I was younger that was my thing, I would get one model a month, and trick em all out put hydrolics on them all kinds of stuff you should get good money out them,
You look up 5 or 6 to see if you get close to making your money back. Then decide.
Jeff Gordon is that Kyle Busch would love to hate them. But they are very good drivers and I love Jeff in the booth but now he’s on to something else. We’ve been going to Vegas for the NASCAR races since 2005 and there is no time that people have not bird Jeff and Kyle. They also booed Kurt, but Kurt has really gotten a lot of good press lately. Now, the one to hate is Hamlin
Does Zo have a channel? Hes so nice and always has good stuff
05:15
At this point I knew for sure, you were in some kind of mood.
Sellers and buyers having change
And then you aren't a true Nascar fan if....
Earnhardt cheated by crashing into people...if that's what you were getting at.
its called "gambling" if you're not sure.. could be gold mine or could be expensive dirt..
I've never sold at a flea market, but I plan to this summer. I figured the best thing would be to stop at a bank and get $100 in ones and fives, and a few rolls of quarters.
Yep!
Quarters?😳
If 5 people buy a $1 item and each one pays you with a $20, you'll burn through that $100 in ones very fast.
eBay….ADHDave said on his video today you have totally given up selling on Ebay in favor of WhatNot and could not believe that…glad to see he was mistaken. Understand some things are better for each platform.
We have cut back a lot but we still sell on eBay
Your videos make me smile
All the models I have sold flew off the shelves. They can make you some good money if you get them cheap enough. I think you are going to easily double your money.
What flea market is this? I’ll be in your area next week!
Mabuhay 🤗
Hi Josh and Haley. Me and my girlfriend really like your videos. We have noticed that there have been a few tonka toys at your fee market. We suggest checking them out they could bring you some good money if they are cheap enough.
Double ball nets = genius
Change has to be on the seller 100% but I would keep some back pocket change just in case.
Love Kenny Chesney!!
