Art Professor! Fabulous. Subscribed. Xoxo from CO

Next time can you put up pictures as you go thru stuff. Thanks
"if you find the right item" is the mantra of this type of business...
I remember having a Dracula comic book that had the first appearance of Blade. It was cool. I have no idea what happened to it since my husband liked throwing away anything he didnt care about. He got rid of my entire collection of Double Ace paperbacks of which some had some of the first publication of stories by authors that went on to become popular writers. He threw away an old crazy quilt covered in embroidery and beadwork and signed by the ladies who made it. It was registered with the McKissick museum and had a tag the museum had put on it. Velvet, brocade, satin and some silk. It was gorgeous. He is my ex husband now.
Heard you say so many times ‘they are out there’. Friday found a box of old postcards, well over a 1,000 for $8 (less than a penny a piece). All unused, all Italian scene printed in Italian. Lots of research to do, and a few appear quite old. The first batch researched produced multiple dups totally 234 copies over 12 scenes. Posted only 1 on Saturday and sold overseas within 5 hours making back purchase price plus. They will take forever to sell, but when they do each is pure profit. Not sure I would have bought these if I hadn’t been watching your channel. Thank You.
Wow which video he talks about that? I love collecting postcards and greeting cards i dont think i've heard of the ones you say
Luck plays a large part in this. I once bought a small green dog plush for 35¢ just because it had a pinback button of the Ted Williams Hitters Museum on it. Turns out the pin was worth $5. The dog, however, was called "puppy" by artist Jeff Koons who did a 40' topiary in Spain of the puppy in 1992. The plush was sold along with the unveiling of that art museum exhibit. It sold for $165!!
Never thought I’d hear the Auction Professor mention Montel Jordan, “This Is How We Do It” 😝😝😝😝. He truly knows his stuff across ALL genres!!!
Dang Don, Usually I can speed you up to 1.5 today I had to slow you down. :) I love when you spew it out. Thanks, I appreciate so much.
This guy recorded 50 videos in one day or has 50 of the same Tool shirts
We're old. We wear our favorites everytime they are clean.
A dremel tool will sand down corroded terminals.
12:15 My dad has at least 20 boxes of WW2 German and British Tanks still in the boxes from 1970s. Ill look them up.
Thanks for the info❤
Chris I want to let you know that you are so inspirational to me and my girlfriend to bring our eBay business to the next level. She just quit her full time job of 14 years to become a full time seller on eBay with me. I have forwarded so many videos of yours to watch and your videos have inspired her to take the leap of faith to transition with me to something better! The knowledge & information you bring together is priceless and you have changed our life forever! May The Increase of The Blessing be with you & your family forever. Thanks
Goodwill rules I brought 20 comics for 20$ sold them on eBay for a total of 1750$. That’s a flip
Great info. Punchy delivery Don. I've got lots of items from these categories in my death pile. This video had motivated me to get listing!! Thanks.
My Grandpa was a mailman and collected stamps and undelivered mail and postcards . He gave me a large box full. It’s a very daunting task to research understand their values, any tips on making the process easier ?? Thanks 😊
I live in Savannah Tn. One of Grants Headquarters is here. I’m 5 miles from Shiloh. It hasn’t been to long since they outlawed metal detecting on the Park. One guy has found several cannons not to mention sooo many other things. The man is a billionaire now. With so many civil war items around here I really need to study that niche!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your fountain of knowledge.Recently sold sheet music because you recommended picking it up.With research and your videos,I have learned to look for the items others think aren’t worth much.Having fun learning and helping others find these items they wanted.Earning money from it all is definitely a bonus.😊Happy hunting and Thanks again!
Hi Professor. Love your vids. I've learned so much.
Would you consider doing a video about the value of original photos and slides of historical and popular landmarks? (especially in CA, i.e. Rose Bowl parade, Hollywood Bowl, etc)
I constantly educate myself on vintage items and despite having grown up around a lot of antique items being collected by family members etc. It does help to educate yourself and study the market values of what things are going for. I was going to at least 3 estate sales a week finding tons of items which were overlooked that were of value. Pay attention to what people pass up. There are good items all around you. Great video!!!
Show photos of each one as you show them and save all of us a lot of pain and time trying to find them and you will get many more thumbs up if you want them..
Brief image examples of these lesser known would be very helpful so we can see what they look like. Thanks
Oh my goodness! Your BRAIN lol! Great video I'll have to watch several times to keep up.
Hey Don! My husband and I have been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and i couldn't help but notice your fine choice of band merch you're wearing in this video! Since '93 Tool has and will always holds a special place in my heart🙌🎶
Cheers,

I sell primarily sheet music and books. This morning I got a really screwy email from ebay telling me that those listing do not qualify for media mail. What is going on over there???
Check to see if you received Ebay's "Disregard our media mail email". We got the same thing, saying that we have items for sale that have media mail on the listing and that Ebay no longer supports those items being shipping Media, but then they sent an email apologizing and saying to disregard.
Sooooo much valuable information in this video! Thank You for sharing! I've subscribed
This is brilliant 👌wish you made it 8 months ago when I was just starting out though Haha
Forget those 8 months youve this information for the rest of your life
I picked up a punky leather long coat from the 80’s
Hi Don - love your videos! At one point you were putting together a compendium of records and what to look for. I know you said you got bogged down with copyright on photos? Is The still in the works?
Don, thanks for the awesome information. You area treasure!
Thank you for sharing such great information!
Hey, love the show. Thank you! I have a vintage MTV Tour Luggage Tag from the 80's that I can't find any comps for. I have no idea how to value it and put off listing. How do you value very rare items with no comparisons?
I would price it out at something like $30, and then say “or best offer” and see what happens
Love the New Mexico license plate. I have one of those as well but, I pulled it off a car I used to own. The New Mexico plate is from the late 90s
Bayonets are against eBay policy, or anything that can attach on an assault rifle. Strange worded policy. But the DOD was primarily pulling listings.
From what eBay states only Bayonets that would go on an assault rifle are banned. Not all bayonets though.
I have "tons" of old postcards and don't know how, or where, to sell them. I know they can be valuable and you say you sell them all day, every day but Im in Salem Or and no one wants to pay anything around here! Im no stranger to the market and selling vintage but not so much with these. When you don't have the money to put into selling things, what is the easiest and best, profitable way to sell them, old stamps too, and old china cups and saucers? Old as in back to early 1900s! Thank you for your channel and content by the way :) I do learn a lot and appreciate you!
What about a stamp book (huge) with stamps from all over the world?
Or . . A collection of cd covers (numbered) ??
I also have tons of Baseball cards a collector donated to a thrift store in excellent condition . . All companies, all styles . . Rookies
Too much work . . Lp,s 45s
CDs, cassettes . . . Too much to say!
🙆🕵️👀

Great.. it would help a lot if you show an idem as you show them !!
I have so much of that stuff! I'm excited, to go through my storage and displays again with everything you've said replaying in the back of my mind. Thank you so much for your channel.
LOVE your Channel - I have learned so much binge watching your vids!
I am new to this, did not know where to start. But with your help, now i know so much more! Thank you so much for all your help and guidance, Loved your video!!!😊❤❤
When I was a kid I went to a comic book convention like in 1976. I win tuu I osvtaffel and got this big black and metal silver poster that said coming soon Star Wars before tye movie came out. I didn’t know what Star Wats was so it had no meaning bit those poster missive vodted like $25. each and only a few were made. Anyway, I went to a comic book dealer and showed him and he offered me $50. and I took it. Till this day, with all the Star Wars collecting and interest, Ive never seen that poster again. I’ve always wanted to ask George Lucas about that poster and wonder what it’s worth now.
As always, another excellent class! Thank you!
I guess I can start selling family photos lol....I have a bunch of tin photos from the 1800s of family members.
Thank you so much very helpfully 🙌🏻
I picked up a vintage niki lauda helmet style clock with box and papers. Only thing that’s missing is the second hand. I’ll have a search around for one. Even without it, it still holds perfect time😊
Informative as always, rock on!
You mentioned old records and dvds and cassettes. Old VHS tapes can also sell. You can get a lot of money for some old 70s horror and b-movie VHS tapes.
I have hundreds of daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, and CDV’s. I’ve been collecting them for 10 years now. If I were to ever sell, this is definitely useful information to know. Thanks! I also have about 40 of the leather bound photo albums made for the CDV’s and tin types. They all have porcelain corner buttons and they are gorgeous. I would imagine these are hard to find as well.
This has been so informative! I’ve been selling vintage, antique everything on my Creaking New store on ebay. I need help with value on a lot. Any ideas what website can help for free? Also what other websites can i sell on other than ebay ?
What sorts of bomber jackets and patches are you referring to that go for thousands? I suspect I have a few.
I loved the video but a similar one with images would be awesome too
Bayonettes?? I thought you said we couldn't sell blades longer than 6 inch.
Always check value of books before cutting them apart. Some can be worth more complete because they are getting rarer from people cutting them apart.
so many ideas, so little time.
Always appreciate your help! Thank you!😉
Wow, thank you so much for sharung this valuable info!😊❤
I have a spoon of almost two hundred years ago Germany kinginor 1818 written on it
Always excellent. Thank you!
Excellent advice. Thanks!
Is it legal to sell art from another artist other than yours?
I had seen a few original nice framed paintings signed by artist at salvation army thrift stores.
putting the word vintage in title help auctions?
Can you talk about auction vs buy it now ? I feel like the “amazonification” makes people want stuff now. But auctions get attention and bargain hunters feel like they can get something for less.
I wish I had your knowledge
Hey professor!! I love your videos so much THANK YOU! Question- do any of the leather jackets violate Ebay’s guidelines? I’m extra cautious after watching your videos.. I feel like exotic animal leathers (Not like you would find that at a thrift store) would, but you never know. Thoughts?
Excellent video 👍 What's a good app for Android to check the value of a book? And is there anything similar for VHS, CDs, and DVDs?
Yep, I'm steady searching for a dimond in the rough...🤘🏼💯✔️
Thanks Don. Great info.😀👍♥️
You're an inspiration to many. Love to learn from you.
QUESTION- how do I price these items, or do I list as auction?
Really need some help about this.
Thx much, Jacques
Badges!?! We don't need no stinking badges!
Great video thanks from the UK ❤
Thanks Don
Thank you! Great tips! Can’t wait to get your guide!
Thank you Don, I'm really enjoying these videos 😁
You are a great help - informative and clear.
First.
I like all the tins behind you....
Need pictures of these items please
Something to think about for sure!
Great Video. Great information. Thank you 😊
If I have postcards from 1935 and I have multiples of the same card do I sell them together or sell them one at a time?
One at a time for maximum profit. They don't take up much room, to store.
Great video Dom. Liked the broad stroke type of a video.
Thanks for the video
I knew you was rocking TooL
I've got a bundle of the original newspapers that wrote articles on the cataclysmic event of the 😊TITANIC SINKING, AT THE TIME THAT IT HAPPENED. This bundle is still unopened and sealed in plastic. I'm wondering what its true value ranges at?
Again, thank you
just happened across this video. I use to sell stuff once in awhile but I’m more of a collector bc I was fortunate to do well in corporate sales early on in life Ive acquired a huge indoor climate controlled storage unit and a basement filled with nothing but incredible vintage pieces I started out with clothing 20 yrs ago and shortly after added collectibles. I now have literally tons of rare pieces,nos,aop,single stitch,nos, one off extremely rare items,vintage clothing mostly 50’s through late 90’s Nike,Starter,Pendleton,Levis,Dior,YSL,concert tees,incredible vintage sports SnapBack and trucker hat collection vintage movie posters and all the promo material and press kits that were given only to theater owners,lots of vintage watches,jewelry,sports cards,autographs,memorabilia,military items,very rare aviaton items,art,some mid century furniture pictures,paintings,toys ie Star Wars,GI Joe 60’s w accessories,video game consoles and games NES,SNES,N64,Atari,Sega,big collection of 1st edition sci fi paperback books from the 50’s and 60’s,some cool signs,glassware,ephemera,industrial lights,literally anything that caught my eye that I thought was neat,rare, or valuable. There’s no filler it’s all extremely hard to find stuff that took decades to acquire. There’s a lot more stuff it’s just hard to mention everything. Im looking to move back out to Las Vegas (I came back to Alabama during the pandemic to help with a close family member that has now died) If someone can get to Alabama I may be willing to sell it all and cash out. It’s never been picked through or even seen by anyone for that matter. If someone can come this week or next I can send pics of different items. I’m going to the Orange Bowl Dec. 29th and probably the national championship Jan. 8th so if I am gonna sell it would have to be prior to then. Sorry for such a long comment.
Hi I have learned a lot from your videos, thanks!
I have a question, I have 18 Susan B Anthony D dollars. When I researched them, they range from $5 to $500. The one up for sale for $500 is not uncirculated and looks just like the ones for $5 in all aspects. Same with the ones in between. Some have sold for thousands, I realize some are silver but still circulated coins and ungraded or sold for under $5. Also some say wide rim. Do you know what the measurement is of the rim? Do you know what determines the value? Thanks for you time, as I know it is valuable!
Correction... The $500 has been circulated.

I’d love to get some good money for my vintage sheet music, but I’ve never seen very good SOLD prices for them…that is except the very famous stuff or for big lots or rare niche items. I tend to think you could sell “ice to Eskimos”…just kidding….it’s experience, reputation, right time and right place. Thanks for all your helpful info 👍
I have a reel 1 “meatballs” from tri-star sitting here forever that I bought from an auction. No clue the value or how to sell it. I also have the “Flying Nun” board game. I’ll have to check out what I have and see. Thanks for the video!
I have a giant poster probably 4 ft ×6ft that hung in Kmart in fort Smith Arkansas that advertises the Star wars trilogy release. I also have the aisle hanger that hung in the aisle at Kmart it has the same image the poster has. Do you think it's worth anything? This Kmart went out of business a long time ago. I believe the poster has pictures of Darth Vader cp3o R2D2 and Yoda on it.
Good advice as usual
🍀👍🍀😊
Growing up in the 70s and 80s a friend had the whole Star wars collector dolls unopened. His dad purchase them and send them to him. As he hated his father, he didn't touch them. When he was in early 20, drunk one night, pull out and pour petrol on them one by one setting them a light and chucking them off his balcony, I bet he kicking himself now. I worked with the old guy in the early 90s and he was a caretaker for festival Hall in Brisbane Australia. He told me how you got trick by young guy to give all his posters to him for free. He had a poster for every single show what came to festival, until it closed down. After given them away, he found out some were worth good money, I just wonder, price if them today.
Amazing information! Who knew so many different things would have good value? Thanks. 😉👍♥️
Thanks a lot! I am just getting into this! I found a 1978 toddler toy train track! Mint condition... I can't wait to get back out their. 💰💰 wow I just got into coin collecting too. Thank you! That's a great tip. 👍
I really like the intro it's like the intro to an old movie and gives you that nostalgic excitement
How long does it take to move this stuff? I feel like its got to be the right person to spend that much on something niche
Thank you! You are very direct n.I appreciate it!!!🌟🌟🌟☺️
Your job is to know more about the item s you’re sourcing than the sellers. Yes!! I LOVE learning, so I’ll keep doing so to get ahead. Thanks tor the info, much appreciated! 👍🏻
Is there any way to contsct you about a BOLO? Am weary of getting ripped off....
Just a simple question Don. How old does something have to be from New to be classed as vintage, as I thought that vintage would be from the '60s 70's or older? Just asking as I saw an ad on eBay that said vintage item, and it wasn't even 10 years old from new, so how can that be classed as vintage Don. Thanks, Don as I was from them Punk Rock days of the '70s. Excellent video. Charles in the UK
Etsy classes vintage as 21 years old or older. Antique is 100 years old.
I think an item must be 20 years old to be considered vintage. That doesn't seem too vintage to me, though.
@@silvercat151 Thank you for your reply ❤
@@American_Honey Thank you for your reply, a bit confusing isn't it ❤
@@catsmeow501 Thank you for your reply ❤
What happens if you think it’s vintage, but can’t find it on google
Hello sir
