Don't watch it you don like it. Those prices I think are probably retail new, I've done some car boots in England. You'll see those kind packing away what they came with, as too stubborn to move.
Old guy by me does the same thing and has been doing it the last 15 years every summer. He sells a few things but not much. I went there Cuz someone said he was selling gun stuff an he was asking 75 bucks for a soft fabric gun case that was in very bad condition and didn't even zipper up all the way. And he had a homemade cannon that fired pool balls and he wanted 15k for it.
I went to a "sale" awhile back where the guy was selling used items for retail and claiming that things were brand new, but everything was out of the box. He had 2 custom garbage cans with wheels on the bottom, but he wanted $200, we looked them up online and they were $20 per can.. people like that are a waist of time.
Everything the old man was selling in the video was online sell price, this guys expects to buy low sell high, old man was just trying to get what there worth
@@Dair_y people don't have sales to make what everything is going for. They have them to get rid of shit. If you're going to sell things for retail, you'll be waiting for weeks.
Lol what I was going to say only of they sell at $27 a pair you'd have to sell about 5 pair before you broke even with doing and fees ect. Then those other dozen would be making you money.
@@AlexBabcock-hw9iz 2 pairs $54 less 15 % call it $8 leaves £46 already in profit and $400 = jeans left would have still made enough if hed paid $5 per
That's a damn good observation. My neighbor bout a full size upright piano at a garage sale for 1 dollar, I kid you not . One damn dollar. These people were trying to git rid of stuff.
I think sometimes people just need a certain amount of money possibly to pay off a unexpected debt so they gather up as much stuff they don't need in hopes it will alll sell which could result in higher prices. Where as other's aren't hurting for money and just want to free up space.
@@jasonbrown7258 I agree on that; sure. I remember one sale where I needed money for a moving van, and gathered up stuff I could sacrifice to get those funds.
At 15:33, the lamp that is behind the bin of balls is worth quite a bit of money! It is a Vintage Rain Hanging Lamp, a huge BOLO! For those who know what they have and have listed them properly, they have sold between $100 and $300. I know it doesn't look like much, but there is a market.
@@armstronggeorge1533 hey, I always say "I gotta get", and I think I'm fair. I find something for $20, I sell for $25. Volume is where you make the money. Buy cheap, sell cheap, sell a ton
Thing about it is this he's having a garage sale he's wanting Ebay prices but without the hassle of dealing with Ebay. It's OK it's your merchandise you can ask whatever you want for it. But they see asking prices on Ebay and get it in their head stuff is actually selling at these prices and they don't take into account shipping and then the other percentages that you pay Ebay and PayPal and boxes padding your listing time ect. A good 25% is eaten up and more of you think about the taxes on your income you have to pay. So I can see both sides of that coin.
Seeing videos like this makes me want to get started today. My wife is the one saying to get rid of stuff, not realizing what profit can be made with a quick post online. Great job man!
The old fella thought those prices were what they were worth and indeed maybe they were but there is huge difference between worth and if you’re going to yard sale them. The ones that get me are “ this is going one say for £xx then you do the work , source,clean,photograph,list deal and mail. Then tell me how much you want! Poor old guy though maybe he needs the money?
He was selling tools that cost thousands of dollars new - those vices he asked $100 for are around $500 new. Learn what you're looking at before insulting people.
I like garage sales from really old people because they have those things that I haven’t seen before but were built to last forever. Everybody is in such a hurry to get the newest whatever but what most never know is that the best stuff was made years before they were born..
That guy should just sell on ebay if he wants to sell for those prices. Even that is pushing it though. I don’t think everyone understand the concept of a garage sale hahah. I went to one and the lady there was selling used shirts for higher prices than Target.
Everybody now knows that "vintage" is in so they are selling it at high prices. Goodwill especially now knows that. So they think any old shirt is worth 6 bucks or more. Before all these shows about reselling you could get shirts for quarters or a buck
Hey bro I been watching your videos since 2019, man you're killing it. Can't wait for you to reach 100k subscribers. At top of that your channel also keeping us entertained during this bs quarantine. Be safe bro 🙏💯
The rain lamp at 10:21.... one sold today 10/15 on eBay for over 300.00 they’ve sold just about every day and one NOS in the box recently topped 800.00 they are from 70s-80s and used a light weight mineral oil carried down in what looked like fishing line we had one back in the day
We had one as a kid back in the 80’s. I think my dad still might have it. Those things were cool back then and still are today IMO. Some ppl might think they are tacky and maybe so, but still cool.
I like how you shop. Everything I saw and was like “ohh I’d get that”, you went right to the same items I thought would be good grabs. Motivates me to get out to these sales to boost my eBay store. Like your videos!
It was, but when you’re re-selling you must try and get it as cheap as you can. The thing about yard sales is, most people are selling this stuff to get rid of it. Then you have a couple that are trying to make a living in the side of the road. They want eBay prices without the hassle of eBay a-holes, pricing, labeling, shipping, etc....

@@nonyobussiness3440 liked the comment cause i thought it was a joke but not sure now/ its a garage sale(unspoken rule max $20) and fuck me for $20 it better be a nice new dirtbike or something
I lived for 4 years in Modesto back in the 2000's. Best years of my life. I miss it so much. Loved garage sales and thrift stores This bought back so many happy memories. Subbed.
Matt, I gotta ask...was that guy's stuff listed as a "yard sale" or a "look at all this stuff I own and intend to keep"?? Lol. I see a lot of the comments are 50/50 on this one. Yes, I would personally be offended if someone listed their USED items at retail/more than retail prices. If people are valuing their items that high, they're not ready to sell them. Which is fine, because they can always list it themselves on eBay for top dollar and wait. No harm, no foul. But advertising a garage sale where people take their time and gas to come to only to find everything there (which wasn't even much) is considerably overpriced...yes, that's insulting.
Point being, if someone wants to list the absolute top dollar on something, they should list that first in their advertising before having people physically show up. Or at least advertise that most items there are "top price/valuable" items. It's a common courtesy typical of what the average person considers a "yard sale". Just my worthless 2 cents.
I used to live in SoCal and people had $20 for each piece of clothing, which was definitely not worth a garage ‘sale’ price. Kid’s toys were $10-25 dollars. It’s like dude, your stuff is used!!!
My wife would laugh ,alot of the things you say I say as well . -Repeat the price of and item right after they tell you it -No worries -Good luck today -Holding down the fort All those things inch a conversation in your favor for price and making the seller feel comfortable
What's wrong with that guy's prices everything that he buys goes on EBay and jacks the price up for ebay. mean if I saw him coming my prices would go up
eBay = work tho. Listing , packing, shipping , returns, etc. Nobody says nothing when they go to Walmart & buy a bag of chips for $2.50 & that Walmart spent a quarter on🤔
As one of the first sellers on eBay I had been doing this since the late 70’s (eBay since ‘98) and I never have offered someone less than asking price if I was willing to pay asking price. I have turned my hobby into a business I have run my own thrift store for the past 8 years and think people who think they are making money by lowballing garage sales are clueless to what money can be made without insulting/robbing people if they would redirect their efforts.
Nice score on that Godzilla figure! I couldn't part with that if I found it. Ran into a kid at a swap meet selling toys to pay his college fees and he had some old blow mold style godzilla toys from the 80's maybe even the 70's he was selling for $10 each, I looked them up real quick and found them going for $100+ each on ebay so I showed him the auctions and that he may want to rethink how he sells those especially sinc he almost had a complete set which really ups the value. I know very unreseller like lol but he was using the money for college.
Good morning Sir. Your page indicates that you are or have a Hayward mailing address. I’m in Newark and curious about what camera you are using? Is it a GoPro with a chest harness? Is it something else? Love your videos.
not everyone is picking through a garage sale to resell the items. A tool like a bench vise even if it's 50 years old, works just the same as if new, so a 30 - 50% savings over a new one is still a deal.
obviously the title meant nothing to me, watch this channel all the time, Matt is a very nice guy and is very polite to the Garage Sale sellers, its just a title. I've been selling on ebay 13 years and if someone is asking too much or realizes im a reseller, no biggie, I wish them the best of luck
i like how you handle sellers. perfect amount of friendly not encouraging long conversations. i also like that you dont really name the objects you want prices on. i learned that one too .. how much is THAT THING gets a cheaper price every time . i think your specialties are slowing you down. you missed bigger prizes than you picked. also!! you met a vendor in purge mode and you didnt press the issue (what else are you looking to get rid of).... expand those niches. brother . you are passing up treasure .
Hi Matt, been following your channel and others from here in the UK, don't really understand your heading today "Prices were Insulting" now as a reseller obviously profit is everything however on the whole you and many other resellers pick up very cheap (sometimes free) and sell at large profits, now ! a lot of the people you buy from can see your channel and the price you pay them and what you sell for would you think they might feel insulted when you negotiate them down.
@ronnie d, my husband is in that group. I resell. I watch resellers. He is just unsure about the prices people make on their stuff. I see, there is a market for it. Resellers are giving people what they want. People who buy things off eBay at high prices must realized they would have to go to hundreds of yard sales to find the item they are buying. So we save them that time and energy.
Just gotta say the garage sales in your area are insane! Wish the ones around here were half as good!! 5:18 - the vise on the left looks like a 4"Wilton bullet with stationary base, check comps because even at $100 there is plenty of $$ to be made! 9:55 that white wall thermometer on the left side of the table might be $$ if actually vintage, 10:20 the oil rain lamp behind the bucket of baseballs is $$
Could have put the deals at this sale was so sweet I almost bought everything they had.I mean heck $5 for the old cars,$2 for a bucket of baseballs,$1 each on the old race tracks amazing deals there.Also I think the other guy was starting high on prices to get some negotiations going tbh.I am sure you could have gotten the psp for like $75.00 and the Vices for $100-$150 range.
Honestly buddy...I think you are doing a great job! I myself have had tremendous luck at garage sales in the past. Now with this covid crap going on and money is tight... You have renewed my want to not some garage sales and pick up where I used to be. Just recently, I picked up a dyson vacuum for 10.00 just to clean it up, inspect it, and test and turn around the next day and sell it for $120.00 on Facebook marketplace. I just wish I could have an eBay account again... My ex screwed it up for me. You are doing a big favor for the people just getting rid of their junk and passing good deals onto others!Thanks for the video and keep doing what you are doing!!!!
Matt, you got some really great stuff. The jeans were a cheap steal! It was exciting to watch you buy The whole bunch. The guy who had high prices, in my mind I’m thinking yeah good luck with selling anything.
I swear that the places I get my best stuff is always a sale like that. Super cheap and nice people. Its the nicer places that I usually walk away from empty handed.
To find out what things are really worth you need to switch search results to SOLD listings on eBay. Just cuz someone is asking 20 bucks online doesn’t mean it’s going to sell for 20 bucks, take that to the bank.
Anytime I sell anything, I know what I paid into it, what it was listed for, and what it sold for. ALL of that factors in to my asking price. So when I list or put something for ‘’x’’ amount of dollars ... I’m not budging. And for everyone that’s says ‘’ oh well good luck’’ etc etc... I always remember I can pack all of it up and not sell anything and it won’t matter to me at the end of the day. I’m the type that I would rather keep it all before get ripped off and lose money. I had a CD that was worth $120. It sold for $100-120 multiple times on eBay and a guy came to my house and said I could do like $30 😂. I straight up told him, ‘’ I’ll burn this CD in the yard before I give it to you for $30.and make absolutely nothing on it and lose what I paid for it myself. That’s a slap in the face and I’m not dealing with all that ..
Wow that one guys prices were ridiculous.. we were in a thrift store in a small town in north Georgia last week and all the prices were retail. Even if parts were missing.
Actually no. I would have snatched both up for 200 and hauled butt to the truck. Id offered 150 first tho. But one on the left could sell for 300 the same day maybe more than that
I think I saw Nancy Drew books on the top shelf at that one garage sale and there was a rain lamp next to where you picked up the baseballs. wow that one lady made you a deal on your pile after she already made you a deal on the items.
What I’ve found is most of the time when someone has a large number of a certain type of collectibles (sports related collectibles in this case) they will have a harder time getting rid of all of them if they price them at retail or close to it. Someone may grab a few but the rest will take a while to get them all gone at a yard sale. I think resellers really help move that kind of stuff. You won’t get the full value but you’ll get a decent amount in a short period of time and be done with it. Beneficial relationship for most of you ask me 👍
Right, what's the difference of going home and listing it all at those prices? Some one will buy that dudes stuff, maybe not a re seller but collectors and stuff
Matt I know this is an older upload, but it seems like when a guy runs a garage sale they are so emotionally attached to items and the prices are high. Thanks for sharing.
not sure its right to call his sale " insulting " its his gear he can ask what he wants for it. If he doesnt sell anything thats his tough luck

Bro like a $1000 !!!! lol, this dude doesn’t know shit
I lived for 4 years in Modesto back in the 2000's. Best years of my life. I miss it so much. Loved garage sales and thrift stores This bought back so many happy memories. Subbed.
Matt, I gotta ask...was that guy's stuff listed as a "yard sale" or a "look at all this stuff I own and intend to keep"?? Lol.
I see a lot of the comments are 50/50 on this one. Yes, I would personally be offended if someone listed their USED items at retail/more than retail prices. If people are valuing their items that high, they're not ready to sell them. Which is fine, because they can always list it themselves on eBay for top dollar and wait. No harm, no foul. But advertising a garage sale where people take their time and gas to come to only to find everything there (which wasn't even much) is considerably overpriced...yes, that's insulting.
Point being, if someone wants to list the absolute top dollar on something, they should list that first in their advertising before having people physically show up. Or at least advertise that most items there are "top price/valuable" items. It's a common courtesy typical of what the average person considers a "yard sale". Just my worthless 2 cents.
If you are going to resell it for a high price, what's so crazy about someone asking that high price from you?
Lol!!!! I thought u were talking to the lady in the blue until she completely turned away🤣🤣
I used to live in SoCal and people had $20 for each piece of clothing, which was definitely not worth a garage ‘sale’ price. Kid’s toys were $10-25 dollars. It’s like dude, your stuff is used!!!
yet he could sell them online and get that much.
Great finds Matt! At that one yardsale , I think the guy took everything out for fun, he didn't want to sell his stuff :)
My wife would laugh ,alot of the things you say I say as well .
-Repeat the price of and item right after they tell you it
-No worries
-Good luck today
-Holding down the fort
All those things inch a conversation in your favor for price and making the seller feel comfortable
What's wrong with that guy's prices everything that he buys goes on EBay and jacks the price up for ebay. mean if I saw him coming my prices would go up
Yeah greedy with the jeans as well ,well worth 5 bucks each.
@@thelyingscotsman7993 yeah then put them on eBay for 20-40 each 😭
eBay = work tho. Listing , packing, shipping , returns, etc. Nobody says nothing when they go to Walmart & buy a bag of chips for $2.50 & that Walmart spent a quarter on🤔
@@X1.7 yeah what about that single parent that doesn't have a lot of money that hits Yard sales to support the family
@@doncaswell1846 "gotta be the first one there"
As one of the first sellers on eBay I had been doing this since the late 70’s (eBay since ‘98) and I never have offered someone less than asking price if I was willing to pay asking price. I have turned my hobby into a business I have run my own thrift store for the past 8 years and think people who think they are making money by lowballing garage sales are clueless to what money can be made without insulting/robbing people if they would redirect their efforts.
Really like your editing in the end when you show everything on the eBay listing .damn good haul👍
Nice score on that Godzilla figure! I couldn't part with that if I found it. Ran into a kid at a swap meet selling toys to pay his college fees and he had some old blow mold style godzilla toys from the 80's maybe even the 70's he was selling for $10 each, I looked them up real quick and found them going for $100+ each on ebay so I showed him the auctions and that he may want to rethink how he sells those especially sinc he almost had a complete set which really ups the value. I know very unreseller like lol but he was using the money for college.
bruh, old people sometimes. They always overprice stuff or just don't want to sell it.
Yup lol I love when they say things are brand new and you can see dust mold rust lol 🤷♂️👓
Matt handled the old man very well. Very smooth.
I saw an older guy at a yard sale one time print out online comps and tape them to the items he was selling.
Melissa, Funny but helpful to resellers also
We leave those kind of "sales" pretty quick! No sense wasting time there.
Good morning Sir. Your page indicates that you are or have a Hayward mailing address. I’m in Newark and curious about what camera you are using? Is it a GoPro with a chest harness? Is it something else? Love your videos.
Some folks really need a reality check when it comes to garage sale prices😃
Just because its a garage sale doesnt mean you gotta give stuff away.
not everyone is picking through a garage sale to resell the items. A tool like a bench vise even if it's 50 years old, works just the same as if new, so a 30 - 50% savings over a new one is still a deal.
what camera are you using to film and what kind of mount? Love the videos I subscribed :)
Why? Why even bother dragging all that crap out? I just don't understand how someone could think they are going to get top dollar at a garage sale.
Dude I noticed that cat Tower was free? Did I read that right? I would have snatched that real quick!!! 🤣
I love the summary at the end with screenshots. Thanks for adding that!
That vise to the left is worth about 300 400 depending on a few things. Maybe more. 200 isn't far off and get a few vise
8:59 I used to have that Godzilla in the late 90s early 2000s childhood memories
obviously the title meant nothing to me, watch this channel all the time, Matt is a very nice guy and is very polite to the Garage Sale sellers, its just a title. I've been selling on ebay 13 years and if someone is asking too much or realizes im a reseller, no biggie, I wish them the best of luck
"His prices were insulting"
*Literally buys stuff for next to nothing and prices them the same*
literally lmao
There's a difference, figures that you can find for $15 and pricing 7 of them for $200 is ridiculous. That old man knows nothing about item worth
But he prices his stuff for the price they’re going for……not over pricing his items. Chill White Knight.
@@ya2060 so basically exactly what I said then👍
@Big Al right, that's exactly what I'd do.
i like how you handle sellers. perfect amount of friendly not encouraging long conversations. i also like that you dont really name the objects you want prices on. i learned that one too .. how much is THAT THING gets a cheaper price every time . i think your specialties are slowing you down. you missed bigger prizes than you picked. also!! you met a vendor in purge mode and you didnt press the issue (what else are you looking to get rid of).... expand those niches. brother . you are passing up treasure .
Hi Matt, been following your channel and others from here in the UK, don't really understand your heading today "Prices were Insulting" now as a reseller obviously profit is everything however on the whole you and many other resellers pick up very cheap (sometimes free) and sell at large profits, now ! a lot of the people you buy from can see your channel and the price you pay them and what you sell for would you think they might feel insulted when you negotiate them down.
Please don’t ever take my titles too seriously. They’re designed to get new people to watch the videos. And that’s about it
@ronnie d, my husband is in that group. I resell. I watch resellers. He is just unsure about the prices people make on their stuff. I see, there is a market for it. Resellers are giving people what they want. People who buy things off eBay at high prices must realized they would have to go to hundreds of yard sales to find the item they are buying. So we save them that time and energy.
I’m a little surprised you overlooked the set of Nancy Drew books (08:14). Sets seem to do ok on ebay and can ship media mail.
Just gotta say the garage sales in your area are insane! Wish the ones around here were half as good!! 5:18 - the vise on the left looks like a 4"Wilton bullet with stationary base, check comps because even at $100 there is plenty of $$ to be made! 9:55 that white wall thermometer on the left side of the table might be $$ if actually vintage, 10:20 the oil rain lamp behind the bucket of baseballs is $$
Yup. Oil rain lamp $150 to $200 if in working order. $40+ for parts if broken.
Some of these people are so wholesome, makes you feel nice inside to see people like that.
Could have put the deals at this sale was so sweet I almost bought everything they had.I mean heck $5 for the old cars,$2 for a bucket of baseballs,$1 each on the old race tracks amazing deals there.Also I think the other guy was starting high on prices to get some negotiations going tbh.I am sure you could have gotten the psp for like $75.00 and the Vices for $100-$150 range.
Just found this Chanel what do you do with the stuff you buy? Do you resale them or just keep for personal use?
sorry just saw the end of the video.
You missed the oil drip waterfall lamp by the baseballs🙈
Honestly buddy...I think you are doing a great job! I myself have had tremendous luck at garage sales in the past. Now with this covid crap going on and money is tight... You have renewed my want to not some garage sales and pick up where I used to be. Just recently, I picked up a dyson vacuum for 10.00 just to clean it up, inspect it, and test and turn around the next day and sell it for $120.00 on Facebook marketplace. I just wish I could have an eBay account again... My ex screwed it up for me. You are doing a big favor for the people just getting rid of their junk and passing good deals onto others!Thanks for the video and keep doing what you are doing!!!!
Matt, you got some really great stuff. The jeans were a cheap steal! It was exciting to watch you buy The whole bunch.
The guy who had high prices, in my mind I’m thinking yeah good luck with selling anything.
The price he paid for the jeans was insulting
@@981516ortega The seller agreed to Matt’s price & wanted to get rid of her stock
I like these videos have their own lore, the guy with the cookie jar comes back. It’s a whole extended universe
Great pick ups Matt. I wonder if that guy sold anything at all? 😕..... 😃
I hated going to garage sales and they ask for retail prices.
Yeah I agree , it's annoying 😒 but we can sell for what folks are willing to pay. I see this all the time and just ....walk away ...but I feel ya
He knows how much everything cost retail & walks up like he has no idea so he can get it for cheap😳😆
Its cheaper to go to Walmart lol
I swear that the places I get my best stuff is always a sale like that. Super cheap and nice people. Its the nicer places that I usually walk away from empty handed.
You made out like a bandit on those jeans, those were nice!
To find out what things are really worth you need to switch search results to SOLD listings on eBay. Just cuz someone is asking 20 bucks online doesn’t mean it’s going to sell for 20 bucks, take that to the bank.
Yep eBay 101
@@PartTimePickers i like you videos, i used to part time pick. now im a cripple. stay blessed!
Anytime I sell anything, I know what I paid into it, what it was listed for, and what it sold for. ALL of that factors in to my asking price. So when I list or put something for ‘’x’’ amount of dollars ... I’m not budging. And for everyone that’s says ‘’ oh well good luck’’ etc etc... I always remember I can pack all of it up and not sell anything and it won’t matter to me at the end of the day. I’m the type that I would rather keep it all before get ripped off and lose money. I had a CD that was worth $120. It sold for $100-120 multiple times on eBay and a guy came to my house and said I could do like $30 😂. I straight up told him, ‘’ I’ll burn this CD in the yard before I give it to you for $30.and make absolutely nothing on it and lose what I paid for it myself. That’s a slap in the face and I’m not dealing with all that ..
Wow that one guys prices were ridiculous.. we were in a thrift store in a small town in north Georgia last week and all the prices were retail. Even if parts were missing.
Old dude will be holding onto his stuff forever at those prices, his kids will have to end up dealing with it.
Actually no. I would have snatched both up for 200 and hauled butt to the truck. Id offered 150 first tho. But one on the left could sell for 300 the same day maybe more than that
I think I saw Nancy Drew books on the top shelf at that one garage sale and there was a rain lamp next to where you picked up the baseballs. wow that one lady made you a deal on your pile after she already made you a deal on the items.
I laughed when you said "When I was a kid" you're still a kid.
Back when he was a kid in 2015
What I’ve found is most of the time when someone has a large number of a certain type of collectibles (sports related collectibles in this case) they will have a harder time getting rid of all of them if they price them at retail or close to it. Someone may grab a few but the rest will take a while to get them all gone at a yard sale. I think resellers really help move that kind of stuff. You won’t get the full value but you’ll get a decent amount in a short period of time and be done with it. Beneficial relationship for most of you ask me 👍
You have no right to insult anyone's prices when you charge what you do on eBay!
Actually he has every right it’s his channel js 🤷♀️
What camera do you use, wondering because you have a good pov
i love how this dude goes in there and is like a detective questioning them on the shit
I wouldn't call it insulting, that was the value for him and I think it's fair game.
Right, what's the difference of going home and listing it all at those prices? Some one will buy that dudes stuff, maybe not a re seller but collectors and stuff
@@superblexx you don’t do that at a yard sale dude, people go to sales to get deals.
I love your updates at the end during replay. Very cool. In my opinion, it really adds to the overall value of the video.
Dang hos wallet is stuffed 😳 i got coins in mine that fall out when i sit down
Matt I know this is an older upload, but it seems like when a guy runs a garage sale they are so emotionally attached to items and the prices are high. Thanks for sharing.
Those pants are dope 😶
That Evil laugh of his always gets me
That “Biden Harris” sign was more insulting than that old man’s prices lmao
Hi, what type of camera do you use and where is it mounted? Thanks
People that ask high prices I feel should try to sell on FB marketplace first, then have the garage sale
Reminds me of our local Craigslist Antiques section claiming rare or vintage with an unrealistic price so it stays listed for years.
Insulting to who? You? Someone who wants low prices so you can make money. Rofl
" I already have that, I just need this" classic line that I've used multiple times!
