Not sure on how fast it will move, but an estate sale is priced to move locally. 100% confident in a weekend you won't find a buyer that actually wants it for themselves in my area.

I have no problem with people flipping things for a profit, fair enough. Anything is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay. I do have a problem with cheap people browbeating folks on things that are already undervalued just because they have a good idea what someone WILL pay, so they can make more money. Greed has no bounds or ethics.
Yeah, I’m sure Walmart and target and all those stores don’t negotiate, but they still mark up stuff 300-600% at times. But that’s ok right? Sales involves negotiations all the time. In regards to electronics, I’ve had many people tell me “yes it works” only to get home, try it and it doesn’t. No returns at garage sales. So get them as cheap as you can. The people wanted to get rid of stuff quickly or they can go thru all the hassle of selling it on eBay for a higher price by testing it, cleaning it, listing it, storing it til it sells, packing it up, taking to the post ofc themselves. There’s a price for all that effort. Just my .02.
Exactly!!!! How is it too much just because someone online is willing to make more? I also can't stand the flippers at Goodwill with their carts packed sky high rushing through the store to snag anything they can just to make a profit. According to this guy these people don't deserve to profit, just he does.
It is a business. There are margins that each person likes to run by. If the person running the yard sale OKs the negotiation, then what’s wrong with it? May things go into selling. The eBay seller here (thrifter sifter) is going to be paying ebay fees, likely the cost of shipping (if he uses free shipping), and taxes. All on top of what he spent. It’s not a straight up $65-$15 equals $50 type of thing. More realistically, a $15 investment would’ve been $15 into $27 after everything.
That’s pretty much 95% of all garage sale buyers now. They haggle and penny pinch your prices and they’re just gonna turn around and flip what they buy from you anyway.
I'm at that age where I love seeing things from my childhood, we had a green Coleman cooler, Coleman gas lantern and a Coleman stove in the 70's when my parents would take me camping. Brings back such good memories. Unfortunately, I gave them away in the 90's when my kids were no longer interested in camping 😕 there are so many things I wish I kept. My parents are getting ready for a garage sale, first one since the 80's, I have to go over and make sure they're not giving items worth money away for barely anything.
He’s saying it’s a little too high for his margins. There are eBay fees, taxes, shipping, shipping supplies, gas that all have to be accounted for. If you don’t put margins into place, you’ll lose money
@@loganbettis2031 I hope when you go to a car dealership To buy a new car, they give you a few hundred on your trade in and then they go and sell it at a dealership for $10,000 You know they only had to give you a few 100 because they had to keep their profit margins high so you should be fine with it right?

I had it for about 3 months before I moved and packed most of my stuff up for storage, I think I used it a few times, but its still been in the box since I moved.
That irks the hell out of me! I could see, if you don't know what it is, and you talk them down, but it's a really garbage thing to do, when you know that you're going to be making a huge profit, by comparison. At least give them what they're asking for, if you know you'll make money on it. I've been to garage sales, and I've held my own, and the dealers used to piss me abd my mom off, trying to nickel and dime us, to death, on items that we knew damned well, they could make a profit on. We also ran a flea market booth. I know that of which I speak.
Resellers were the downfall of garage and yardsales. They used to be so much fun. People trying to survive could get by. Now they're paying premium "collectible" price because some online site they read said it had value.
I have that same exact Coleman cooler and it is hands down the best cooler ever. I’ve taken it to festivals and camping and had ice survive for days. Also it’s super sturdy and makes a perfect seat.
He showed a screenshot of what the dvd vcr combos were selling for. Anytime you see a screenshot from eBay and the price is GREEN... That's literally what it sold for, unless the price is crossed out. That means there was a best offer accepted.
Man vhs players are going up in value. I have two now and my biggest one sells for around 95. I wouldn’t sell it because it took me forever to find a working vhs player that was under 20 dollars.
@BlueCollarLife420 kind of a mean comment to a normal question. I resell but I have a job too. If people ask me I’m not going to lie about it. People with yard sales or estate sales are usually just trying to get rid of stuff. If they wanted to make a huge profit they’d sell online but they’re not.
So no they weren’t asking too much. They just wanted to make some 💰on the deal. it was there’s to start with lol. I don’t EVER ask for a lower price at garage sale. unless there really was a situation with money I had available and whether I was out looking for that very thing. I’d done that twice.

Brand new designer great deal. And I’ll be back to pick up the shoes and give them the remaining $7 on the Friday 5 days away. That was one time. And without a sec to breath he said I could have them for 75% off 🤭 and sold them to me for $3 Obviously very different reason to shopping. But when something is already a good price and you are going to make double triple what they did selling it to you. I don’t insult people. They aren’t having a garage sale just for the fun of it 95% of the time The money would help someone in the sale party Why people are working 60 hours and waking up at 4 am day of for fun.
Estate sales tend to be severely overpriced in my area, especially if they are run by an estate sale company because they like to overprice the valuable stuff and buy it for nothing to haul out of state to antique shows and then sell everything else to a clean out guy for nothing
