- $10,000 Estate Sale Find Or BIG Mistake?
Today I went to an estate sale that advertised some very valuable items. There was everything from high end designer clothing to Incredible valuable collectable pens. And, I ended up buying one item that was potentially worth over 10k. I hope you all enjoy this haul!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I have to be honest, I've never even heard of that watch brand. You could have sold it quietly in any number of ways but you chose to pass on some knowledge to help other resellers not make the same mistake. You will always be one of my favorites for that reason and many more. You should be proud of what you do! Thank you!!!!
I spent over 5k on 650 units of a wholesale item thinking it would sell hundreds of units per month. Then I realized that Amazon listings with multiple variations can be tricky to analyze. Turns out I bought the slowest selling variation. Took 3 years to sell the inventory. You live you learn.
Yikes. At least you were able to sell it eventually.
I’ve been pretty fortunate, but did buy several fakes from one person. Michael Kors watch & Chanel travel cup. I was going to buy two more watches from her and decided to do a bit more research, since I’m still still a newbie. Within 20 minutes of reading about authentic MK watches I realized I had a fake. I messaged her thinking maybe she’d been duped as well and didn’t want her to unknowingly sell fakes. She “didn’t know” yet didn’t remove any other fake MK listings. eBay removed my Chanel travel cup as they believed it to be a fake. It’s all part of the learning process 😊 I’m terrified of unknowingly listing a fake.
Great to see a video with NOT all great finds. Your honesty is amazing 😉 Good luck with the rest of your finds. Awesome video 😎
I bought some Jordan’s and Yeezys from a yard sale and when I got home I realized they were all fake when one of the shoes said something like“the gretest plxer of all time” 😂😂 I only spent 50 at the yard sale and made up for the shoes with other items luckily lol
😆 “greatest plxer”
There have been a few buys that didn't work for me. My most expensive was a vintage LV bag. I didn't want to sell it myself so I sent it to TRR and they couldn't authenticate and sent it back. I took It to an authenticator and they couldn't either. They said they thought it was real but couldn't guarantee that it was....so I was out $250. That is the most expensive "oops" I have had. Thank you for being honest. Transparency is key. I love your vildeos.
That man in the store wouldn’t even bring himself to touch the watch.
😆
Exactly what I thought He was calling it out from a distance and then piled it on as he got closer - but he was very cute !!
I like your honesty 😊
Love the videos! I had almost the exact same experience this past week. I went through the watch bin at my local Salvation Army and found a few fitbits and a Rolex!
I looked up our local Rolex dealer as I also don’t have much watch expertise. I walk in and they are calling for the main person that authenticates and when he finally comes down he from a distance says I can tell that’s a fake from here lol.
He also never touched it and then the best part was he says some of the fake Rolex’s are really good these days but the one you have isn’t even a good fake 😂
After I didn’t my own researchI then realized I should have known and it was a good lesson and I can relate to your disappointment 100%
I bought a jet ski for $1200, and it's been in the shop for all three years I've owned it. Plus, I found out the shop I currently have it at has went out of business. Plus plus, I spent like $3800 putting a new motor in. Worst financial decision of my life.
Sorry Ben, but love your positive attitude. That, and the way you edit your content, is why I enjoy watching you!
When we were on a tour in New York City 20+ years ago I bought a Rolex watch from a guy wearing a raincoat in Battery Park!!!!!!! Yes, I knew it was fake but for $25.00 I still have the watch and a funny story to tell.
Haha I’m imagining one of those cartoon conmen in a rain coat filled with watches and jewelry.
One time I bought a box of games and a console after I paid I found out that a lot of cases were empty. And the discs were in terrible shape. Lesson learned there
Early on, bought some boxed speakers from a thrift store that taught me all about the classic "White Van Speaker Scam" con. Red flags: box said something like "premium speaker system," printed on the box was something like: "MSRP: $1850," brand name sounded familiar, but slightly off, box was "perfectly damaged," as in a corner was ripped off and styrofoam packaging was flaking.
Worth reading about. They were working speakers, but the cheapest you can find. Sold on FB for what I got them, about $60.
Oh yeah. I’ve heard about that. I’ve never seen it but I’ve heard people talk about that one before. That is a notorious one a bunch of people feel for.
They usually heavily discount prices at estate sales the following days after. I never really go to high end popular estate sales on the first day not worth the trouble. Imagine waiting outside since 3am for those pens only to find out they are priced evenly with eBay prices after finally making it inside.
i got burned too. took a day off of work. traveled really far woke up at 4 am only to be 69th in line, when the doors opened up one hundred resellers were let in at the same time. right below retail prices and I drove home with nothing.
Wow those jewelry guys were really nice.
when you said the first piece of clothing you got was in style right now
i was like sayyy whaaaatttt, whereee??!!!! haha another great vid, i love your content man, keep it up!!
Maybe wear the watch everyday to remind yourself...always be cautious...
Yeah, I got hosed buying 4 separate thing at a Yardsale I thought were going to be really good, after I got home and really comped them turned out not so much. Luckily it was only $25 total but like you said you live you learn. I consider it tuition. As long as I don't do it too often 🤞
When I first started I bought a piece of Fenton glass, paid up for it. Got it home it had a crack in it. Learned that lesson.
I'd call it more of a gamble than a mistake lol another great video
Haha true 😆
When I first started reselling, I almost lost my Ebay account when I listed what I thought was a Coach purse. It turned out to be fake. Had that happened today with Ebay, I would have been banned instantly.
Man, that's just a sign to stay away from designer stuff for me.
Bought a Dooney and Burke Purse as a beginner reseller for $10.00 only to get home and the patch on the front peeled right off! I was so ticked at myself at the time. I too should have done a little research right there at the yardsale. Now, like you, I basically steer clear of the designer anything unless I am sure.
I would have been drooling over those pens.
Have a blessed day!
K.T.
I still don’t buy designer purses for that reason. Fakes are way to convincing and the brands come down hard on fakes. It’s one of those items I just stay away from.
Picked up a 'Coach' purse not knowing a lot about how to identify real from fake, and of course it was a fake. I found this one at the bins. I had found a real one at the bins before and I thought, hey why not take a chance. Fake! But I did not have too much money invested in it. Now, I just stay away from those purses until I know more on how to spot a fake! Great video! Thanks.
I have lost money on a lot of small items and clothing that have either not worked after buying or had a stain/blemish that I did not see when purchased. It's always a gamble.
That one watch guy knew his shit.
what a bummer on the watch, but a good risk. sometimes you never know. i bought jordans that were fake at savers.
Howdy Ben, great story & thanks for taking us along on your adventure. My lesson, a few years ago I spent $150 on 3 autographed NFL football cards of a future All-Pro running back. They were legit, authenticated autographs, but the actual player got hurt & didn’t live up to his potential in the NFL. Who wants to buy cards of an average running back who only played professional football for 5 years? No one, my mistake, live on to fight another day.
Yes it happen to me with a pair of Jordan.
We learn from our mistakes - hopefully 🙄I have learned NOT to buy from other resellers who are closing their stores, unless you see the items in person or know the person VERY well, DON'T!
Great video yeah we all as resellers have made mistakes i bought a tote full of Pokemon cards for $50 bucks it was like thousands of cards which i was going to resale some & give some to my grandkids ended up mostly all were fake except for a few luckily I was able to recoup my $50 & still gave the rest to my 7&9 yr old grandsons so it still worked out but it would have been better if more were real it was thousands of cards
Dang! Tough $50 lesson, but a good lesson learned! Great story, awesome footage, and loved the way you gave yourself and everyone watching some credit and grace.
Yeah it sucks that it turned out that way. But, your right at least I got a story out of it 😆
I like it when fakes are so bad they are actually good
I went to Turkey where markets are full of fakes they know it you know it and they know you know
Anyway one supposed D&G T-shirt had ‘You are my sweatheart’ on it rather than sweetheart
They still made a sale as I bought a few to wear at the gym !
I spent $150 on a lot of Hockey jerseys last year, only to find out later after listing one on eBay that they were all Chinese knock-offs. Convincing ones, but not enough to slip by one buyer on eBay who reported the listing. We all learn tough lessons!
A hockey Jersey got me too. Buyer returned it but was kind enough to point out all the things that signaled it was a knockoff(stuff I would never have caught). I usually stay away from clothes for this reason, all the desirable stuff is faked, and they're pretty good fakes at that.
Yeah jerseys are another big one to watch. So many fakes out there. At least your buyer understood the situation and was able to help you learn what to look for.
Buyers are assholes .. reporting fakes .. they have no idea what’s fake .. half them do it to just get a competing listing down so there’s will sell
Great video. Just found your channel and have been binging a bunch of videos
Dang! I was so hoping you had struck gold with this watch! Thanks for sharing your trip to the watch store too. Your other pickups were great.
Great video ❤ we are learning all the time. Thanks for the tips
Actually if what you paid was $50 for a lesson in learning watches I’d say it’s money we’ll spent. They had great tips. I had no idea that genuine leather would not be printed on a strap of high end watches.
I found a fake Christian Dior saddle purse but should have listened to my gut from the condition. Thankfully it was only a $2 mistake.
Purses can be so deceiving. It’s crazy how good knock offs are.
I just sold a necklace that was a Versace ripoff but I listed it as a Versace dupe and sold it for good money!
You still have to be careful using a designer’s name in that way If they were litigious and came after you they would have had a case
thanks for showing that bro. I for sure make mistakes all the time. Mine are smaller and more often though which is probably worse as you are hitting 99% of the time lol
I was at a sale a couple weeks back and there was no cell service for anyone. And if you did get it, there was limited/super slow internet for a moment then nothing. On top of that, barely anything was priced
So i prepped for hours before going and then the person in front of me got the main things I was after and i had to pivot to stuff that wasnt in the photos beforehand. I ended up making some great buys, left stuff behind and made a couple of bad buys. It happens.
Bring it to a watch maker not these sales people who know nothing about vintage watches.
Tom ford perfumes do well too
Great vid ! Definitely a learning experience! Had a similar experience…. You live and you learn …. Some times you learn a big lesson!
I'm sure everyone has once bought a pair of Jordan's like myself and turned out to be a fake. It happens. You learn and you move on. Nice of them to go over a few things to look out for with watches though. Great info!
Yeah honestly I wouldn't consider this a mistake on your end. If anything a good gamble considering the other high end things like you mentioned. Love the videos and your energy!
I have so learned the hard way!
Great video! Thats the fun thing about reselling, that you never know what you will find. I 've had some lemons too, but how often do we resellers find great and just wow profit items. I would of taken that chance on the watch also.
I bought a "Fendi" dress as one of my first reseller purchases. It was $60 online, so when I got it in hand, it just didn't feel luxurious. I ended up reselling it with a big caveat that it was fake, but hoped that maybe someone with brand love without the deep pockets would buy it. It sold pretty quickly, and I was happy to get it off of my hands, and basically lost about $20 after fees and all that.
I bought a fake Raf Simons x Joy Division shirt from Goodwill. Luckily it only cost me $5.
Fake it till you make it. Wear that watch.
Recently saw an adidas Messi jersey nwt from 2019 at a local Goodwill. Got excited and paid the $12.99, it looked to be $100+ sale. Found out it was a fake. A pretty good one, but I educated myself on what to look for. Spotted another adidas jersey out in the wild a few days later and determined it was a fake from what I learned. So at least I won't repeat the mistake going forward. And.... the Messi jersey is my size so I'll keep it and wear it as a reminder of my error!
Anyone doing this for any decent amount of time has bought a fake, or something that turned out to be wort less then then anticipated, or just completley somethung other then what they thought it was, but in this business its all about taking risk, so wat your out 50 bux, but if was real you could have been up 2 to 10 gs, its all a learning experience, idc how long youve been doing this, noine knows everything about everything, but if you can get to know a little bit about alot or even alot about a little bit, you can be dangerous in this game, i know a little about about alot, but im still learning new things everyday, ive been reselling for 5 years collecting since 1995 and still learn about things that i would never have even looked at last week, now im selling it for great money, its an amazing business to be in
💯. Gotta learn from the mistake and move on.
I bought 2 error ken Griffey jr rookie cards. Turns out they all have errors!! Lol
The first red flag, $50 for the watch🙂
Hi, I bought 3 beautiful sterling silver cuff bracelets at a rummage sale. The women told me they were from her store that closed. They were stamped 925 & I only wear 925 so I was going to keep one. I started wearing it right away & 6 months later the inside was turning brown. So I guess they are fake. Good thing I didn't try & resell the other two. Lesson learned, I hope. TFS ✌
silver tarnishes black
I love your videos!
I've been trying to get into estate sales here in Texas, but I don't know how to find them. Is there a website that you use?
Estate sales . Net and Facebook marketplace 👍
Gr8 haul Big Ben..🤔😺 I really try to stay away from watches for this reason.. I've had my share of L'$ and that's no fun..🤔Years ago my sister gave me a fake ladies gold Rolex but ended up selling it as a fake for $100 dollars..😲😍😉 Keep it moving and Take care..👍💕🔥👀👊
Wish you had asked them to show you a Legit Vacheron!
At least they didn’t confiscate it from you as a fake !!
Mistakes are education that you pay for - a learning process to build your knowledge
I'm in Chicago. Have a meet up for reseller.
bought an older BAPE hoodie in 2015 at the thrift for $12 that was reselling for around $650. was too good to be true
Mine was a fake $600 Rolex! Still sting though!
A few weeks ago I did a local deal and bought a PS4 with a couple controllers for $120 in “working” condition. End up being very much not working and I sold it for parts for $80 and took the L. If you can’t test it, only pay the broken price!
Why couldn't you test it though ? Or at least requested a video of it on and playing
Damn that sucks to hear. At least you were able to re coop some money. Was it a fb marketplace meetup?
@@ReadySetResell it was OfferUp :)
@@adammonahan687 he had a photo of it working but who knows where the photo came from. Usually it’s worth the gamble but sometimes it’s not.
I bought some louis vutton shoes at an estate sale looks really good but they were fake i paid up too.
*Uh...if the estate sale company does all that research on the pens, one might think they researched the watch. Hmmm.*
i found submariner james bond collection edition rolex i was so stoked and paid $200 right away. i will get 10k if its real but end up its fake. luckily the old lady who sold it to me gave my money back she said he has no idea it was fake she was like 90 yrs old since her husband passed she need to get rid off ton of stuff.she didn't argue with me end up giving her $50 just to show my appreciation
Keep learning Ben. ☮️
Yea dude, I bought an LV bag hoping it was real but unfortunately it wasn't. I paid 50 for it. Now I know not to buy designer at all lol too risky
All you did was pay for an education there. All pickers have loads of losses that's how we learn. Great episode
I bought a fake Hermes scarf in a fake Hermes box. After doing some researching I should have been able to tell within seconds it was fake, but I was just trying out designer goods. Just like you I decided designer goods are not for me. I stick to solid known brands, but nothing to designer-y. There are just too many landmines!
devil is in the details. easy to spot fakes if you look closely at the stitching or material used.
A few years ago I found a pair of BAPE shorts and the store had it priced for $3.99. I purchased it and then had a friend look them over and they were fake because the BAPE tag on the inside was slightly off and had slight color change compared to the actual tag. If anything the experience taught me to look at every tag and every detail to determine if it is authentic or not.
paid $200 for a chanel bag and i spent about 30 minutes looking over every detail and it looked very real however after getting it authenticated the design of the diamond shape was not symmetrical throughout the whole bag and operantly real chanel bags will always be perfect in their design.
Dang, next time you'll find the 10k item
I see you👀👀👀👀😳😏 You’re still learning you will make money on the other items Nice man Mean snobbish man at the watch store🙄😒✌️
reason it was 50 was they knew it was fake
💯
Ben you are too funny! I see you 😁
Thanks for showing that you’re human!😅👍
I bought $160 worth of Pokémon booster packs only to find out the holographics were swapped out with fakes and the rest of the pack were commons 😬 never again lol
Pokemon cards they get me everytime
Get that money right!!
Do expensive pen with initials affect value? My dad received a Mont Blanc pen from work with his initials on it. Since he already had a Mont Blanc from 20 years ago, he asked me to sell it for him. It's got a case with his name on in too.
Yes anything engraved - pens or anything else prices are lower unless it belonged to a famous person when the value would be inflated because of the celebrity aspect
You stand a little luck if it is initials only rather than a full name
What company was this sale? I literally did the same thing with a rolex 😂🤣 I'm in the suburbs of Chicago as well had no idea you were close
Sorry about the watch but consider it paying for increasing your knowledge
I listed a Jeff Dunham t-shirt one time on Poshmark..It was removed because it wasn't authentic and someone reported it. I paid 1$ and have no idea what was fake about it. Low roller here, lol
Why would someone report that 😂
@@darthpoop444 not sure 🤷
Awe, wish it would of been legit. I would say it wasn't a mistake though, if you learned from it. Love your videos!
Aw man!
early in my ebaying i bought beanie babies.
I bet a bunch of people can relate to that haha
Where do you find these estate sales?? I mostly use Yard Sale Treasure Map but was curious if you used the same or different!
Estate sales . Net app
@@ReadySetResell OH cool!! I'll have to try that, thanks!!
Does anyone know if Citi Bank is worried about anyone else’s businesses or no???
Damn! Is it just me or was this estate sale EXTREME expencive?
Looked damn near like ebay prices on lots of the prices there...
even the fake watch was at retail. 🤥
Yeah. They were defiantly priced way up. There were a bunch of items I wanted based on the pics. But the prices were up there. Pretty much everything I grabbed didn’t have price tags on them. Because everything I did was priced up.
Yes, the man charged you way too much!
Question.. I have a couple vintage luxury eye glasses as well are they allowed to be sold on ebay? since technically a doctor has to prescribe them to you i believe.
Selling them as the the frames not the lenses. Frames aren’t prescription.
@@ReadySetResell thanks for the response
I bought some nice looking frames on EBay and thought I’d save some money, the frames looked nice but not named brands and found ironically it was only a minor saving on getting new frames and lenses as the lenses are a big part of the cost. The ones I bought still have original lenses but were sold as frames
But you said yours are luxury so buyers would be prepared to pay
Can’t you still sell it as a “replica” and recoup your money?
You couldn’t use the designer name in the listing fake or otherwise as it is still trading on their good name for a fake and they could take legal action
Pstricia Field was the costume designer for sex and the city
Yeah, I figured that it was fake simply because they priced up the pens so clearly they knew the value of what they had. Still sucks though
If the watch was tagged / priced like the stuff at the table it would have raised some flags. But it was in a pile of random other watches / jewelry. And not priced out. I thought maybe they overlooked it and didn’t recognize the name. That’s why I asked the worker for a price.
@@ReadySetResell ohh okay. That makes sense
@@ReadySetResell
Yes. The Estate Sale folks are just like the rest of us...they don't know everything. Some of my best money picks have been at Estate sales. We all have our own bit of knowledge. That's what makes this business/hobby so much fun...constantly learning and refining our skills.
50 bucks? You can sell it for that
every single ultra high end luxury watch I've found has been fake, which isn't that surprising since who would donate a legitimate Rolex to a thrift store or sell it for $50?
One day hopefully you’ll get that one that’s real.
A few months ago I found some decent condition 80's Levi's at the thrift store. I figured at $7 a piece I was doing ok. Got home and the inner tags on the one I didn't check were in Chinese. I'm no expert, but....🤦♂️ Thankfully the other pairs are legit. It happens to everyone. 🤷♂️
If it seems too good to be true it probably is. Whoever sponsored the sale was knowledgeable enough to know it the Vacheron was real and would not have priced it at $50 if it was real.
The watch wasn’t priced. That’s why I asked how much it was. The worker behind the table just gave me a price off the top of his head. If it were marked at $50 like the stuff on that table that had clearly been researched then yeah it would have raised a red flag. But it was in a pile of random stuff that wasn’t priced out so I thought it might have been overlooked or they didn’t recognize the brand.
$50 education lesson and a ⌚️ for free.
Of course i bought some fake supreme
Another heavily faked brand. And a lot of supreme is so basic that it’s hard to tell.
@@ReadySetResell yup
