- Join me as I head to three different yard sales. All of them are tough negotiators. Will I be able to make a profit flipping these Garage Sale finds on ebay?

I've noticed a lot more hustlers treating their garage sales like an antique store. I just walk away.
Well said!
@@chaunceythegardener4753 You can buy it, more for you. Different reasons to buy. I pay up for personal stuff but for the purpose of reselling I’d pass.
Totally agree with you..I would've walked away as well...
Way to dear..
Same here

We DO the work while y'all sit on the side lines whining.
Love my job!
Blessings
You're a more patient person than I am. I would have said goodbye at $700
Wants eBay price but doesn't want to do any of the work and can't even answer a straight question about what's wrong with some of the things that he is selling. He's insane. You can get DVD players all day long at the thrift store for 10 bucks.
Will never understand how people want ebay prices without doing the work.
And you know 'their' ebay prices are based on the asking price, not sold! lol
Not if they looked at the "sold" filter.
That Garage Sale price was wild. Like so many have said. When he said $700, I would’ve been out. Kudos to you man for sticking around.
The fact that "you're going to be making a lot of money" is none of their business. If you want to hold on to make eBay resell value, stop trying to sell them at a yard sale. I ran into this this past weekend. Craziness.
Agree
Not only yard sales, but some thrift stores are pricing as if an antique shop.
so so true
How do u think it will effect their sales?
@@branbeelotus drop them by 90%
Lol I went to an antique cheaper than my local thrift
The market is so wild now people just try to over value everything cause they seen one crazy listing of it sealed for 1,500
You have the patience of a saint. The lady at the first sale was living in a dream world. And the last sale, well, I was taught, if I have nothing good to say . . .
I'm surprised you waited around that long if they were blowing you off. I salute your patience to haggle from that high a number. I would have walked fo sho!
That first lady was crazy asking for so much money for her items. And the guy’s numbers were even more crazy.
I had PAIN watching this guy trying to work his own crazy magic on you. You were soooo patient. I would have walked away for sure 😅
I kept screaming in my head, "don't do it, Dustin!" He didn't deserve your generous offer!
I would have just walked away at the last sale. That dude was out of his mind with those prices.
I don't think I have ever been so frustrated watching one of your videos. You handled the situation well.
I can't believe your patience. That was amazing. I would have walked away for sure. It just wasn't about the price the attitude would have gotten me. And do people just wake up one morning and say let's have a yard sale. Where's the organization. Where's the idea of the prices you want for your items. You did all the work climbing up and getting the stuff off the dusty shelves and then they want to charge $700!! Absolutely crazy!!Sorry, that was my little rant. Love you guys. Sorry to hear about your father passing. My condolences ❤ to you and your family.
When you were waiting for the guy at the last sale to give you a price for the bundle, I thought to myself, if he says $150, he's to high. But then he came at you with$700!! Dude was crazy!
Same
Ditto, about fell off the couch!
Dustin consistently being a great person! Appreciate the content ProPicker team!!
That guy was crazy $700 wow! He must of not really wanted to get rid of it! Dustin good job man you sure had the patience!
I'm surprised at how long you even spoke to that guy after he said $700. Obviously, it's his stuff he can sell it for what he wants, but I would have just left after he said that lol
I don’t get some of these comments! This is your livelihood. You educate us on all of this, free of charge. Reselling is a lot of work. First you have to have the storage space, then you have to inventory, then take photos, the you have to post it and you have to have the time to reply to buyers. Then you have to have all the packing materials and boxes then you have to go to the post office or whatever way you are doing delivery. And then you have to track it all and declare it on your taxes!!! I mean how can people say that TH-camrs have ruined it for us? When TH-camrs are teaching us how to do it ourselves and why are those people watching if they don’t like it? I think you and Jess are kind, lovely awesome people. Plus, I’m all about up cycling and saving stuff from the dump or the trash, so why not teach people to make the most of what they have and reuse things and make some cash? ❤ grrrrr
Oh, and then there’s all the video equipment and expenses to even start and then the knowledge on how to create content I mean it’s a lot!
You forgot a big one, when selling on eBay you have to honor the 30 day return policy for ANY reason (not as described) even when you check the box no returns, and that includes return shipping cost.
@@tommyebay yes! I thought that too but forgot to write it! No guarantee they won’t return until time passes! Plus sometimes you have to wait for your money! $$&
No first you have to find it and know what sells!
What's funny to me is how people don't really know how to navigate Ebay but they want to throw out outrageous prices for items they don't even know work of course they will say they work they want to sell them😂
“I don’t even know what a model # is, but I typed ‘old train’ into eBay and it had one that kinda looked like this broken train listed at $300… so I was thinking $300” 🤪
There’s nothing really to be done at that point, once Their expectations have been set too high.
I had that same train set in excellent shape in box that I bought for $60 back in 1988. I sold it a couple years ago for $60. Happy just to get my money back!
Don't worry, I also educate my buyers with comps. It's a common thing, but your patience is definitely unique! I wouldn't of had any with that guy's garage sale 😅
I jumped when i saw that baby doll 😅😅😅😅
sorry I would have walked straight out,
you are a very patient man.
Some people just will never understand that just because you think something is really really cool doesn't mean the general public does. It also doesn't mean there's a market for it.
As soon as he said $700, I would have left. It's not like he had anything rare!!
I would've legit laughed in his face and left😂😂😂
I would have left immediately when he said $700. Your patience was phenomenal here. I don't have it in me to do waste all that time. 😀
When you asked price and he kept standing there contemplating it, I would have walked. That entire situation (him not you) made me cringe multiple times.
Wow...a lot of patience for sure.
The stutter when you repeat price is funny. Lol
Great content! Keep pushing!
The last guy was ultimately trying to reach out to you regarding the extended warratny of your Kia
Dustin, you're much more patient than I would be at that sale! When he said $700, I heard you stutter and thought yeah, I would likely say I can't work with that and walked. SSSSS Seven? hundred? Bye....lol Thanks for the video and blessings to you and Jess.
I would not tell people I was a reseller. However it really shouldn't matter to them. Just tell me the price!
Love your videos! So sorry you went through all that with the guy.
Good grief, that sale was PAINFUL! $200 would have been my max. Wow, just wow, not anywhere near a 'resellers dream'!
I prefer to buy and sell both buyer and seller feel good about the transaction. Way more fun that way!
Good for you for hanging in there and trying to educate him too.
Seriously?? That guy was nuts!! Besides, why does anyone care what you are doing with it after they get their money? That would drive me crazy!!!
3900 lol I carry that kind of cash on me all the time...., omg lol forget it 700 what a joke
WOW!!! I don't even know how you kept cool through that lol that was crazy! I would've had to just walk away with no further negotiation lol
Yes the patience you have and telling them you a reseller ❤ He kept beating around the price I’m like come on dude😂😂
My god I’m surprised you struck a deal there, good on you showing him though as the guy will end up keeping his garage full of stuff 😮
I turn right around and walk away. Let them waste the rest of their day trying to find a sucker, not wasting a second more of my time.
I would of laughed in that guys face and just left. It's one thing to ask a price but to ask for ebay prices at a garage sale...GTFOH
Your patience is beyond real.
That was crazy!!
Hopped over here from FB. I’d never be able to film this. I’m even shy about pulling out the phone to do comps. Then haggling! You work hard for your money and to provide great entertainment!
That $10 game boy was 🔥
you were way to nice to that guy
$700?😱 pleeeze! That’s guy was cray cray!
Lol, there is no way that chick sold anything that day...
I almost dropped my coffee when he said $700😮😮😮
You have way more patience than i do i would have walked away a long time ago , with him trying to figure out every price and being so slow at it .
Great video.
This is a wild yard sale,i've never imagined,the Simon game is worth money,congrats to you my friend.
At my kids soccer practice about to watch this awesome video
Wow, just Wow is all I've got to say!!! These people must not really want to get rid of their stuff!
You have way more patience than me! I’d have said $700? Ok have a nice day lol
People asking online prices on flea markets is the worst. Like if the time cleaning, selling, answering questions and shipping the stuff is worth nothing. Flea market should be atleast 1/3 of ebay sold if not lower
That was a painful video!! Lol!!! ❤
He thought he was sitting on a gold mine!! Lol!
You should send a family member back to a place that gives you a high price when they see your go pro. See if they lower it
Something tells me they had a LOT of left over stuff at the end of their sale
I would've told that guy to cram it. I wonder how much of his stuff actually worked. You are definitely a better man than I.
FB Marketplace, OfferUp, and CL has turned everyone into a Reseller. It's harder to find a yard sale with actual yard sale prices - people are pricing stuff like their driveway is a consignment shop! 🤪 It's always refreshing to find a yard sale where the home owners have things priced to get rid of.
I agree, i can not negotiate with anyone anymore without hearing them talk about how much it goes online.
I personally would have walked away from him ! The guy was in dreaming 😅❤ Cool Hat’s though 😊
Why don’t these people take the time to post their stuff on eBay?…. Because it’s time consuming and work to clean stuff up.
I collect old toys mostly ones from my childhood “1970’s & 1980’s” and I also sell/trade off any extras or stuff that I don’t want. But my specialty is fine and vintage jewelry also watches and most of the time I can tell if an item is gold, platinum, silver etc but sometimes you need your jewelers loop but what I’ve experienced is the min it comes out the prices increase or worst then that the pieces you pick are gone over with a fine tooth comb lol 😂 So I don’t use it much at sales. Here’s a example I went to a jewelry and purse sale at senior center yesterday and they priced everything cheap so I ended up spending $50 the total price was $32 but I gave them a little extra and in the 18 pieces I bought 2 pairs of earrings where not gold and I ended up with $360 in scrap.
Here’s another thing…. Have any of you sold at like an antique show or garage sale etc and had someone say “Oh they don’t have prices marked on their stuff so I’m not asking/buying because they do that just to mark it up depending on what you look like?” I HATE that the worst! I don’t price shit because I usually have hundreds of pieces of jewelry and I don’t like the stickers on my glass or old toys and don’t get me started on video game cases lol
Love your work Dustin but seriously.
Most frustrating video ever. You could've hit two other sales in the time you took dealing with that clown show.
Blessings
I had a garage sale where I had descent prices on stuff but a lady came and looked at my wire wrapped rock I made that I was trying to sell. She looked at the price and said these aren't bingo prices then she looked at something else and said these are bingo prices there was only a $4 difference and my wire wrapped rocks were selling at $5 each. I've seen people at craft shows sell their's for over $40. Kind of frustrating
its so awkward when something like what at the end happens. When negotiating i'll think to myself "$20 is my most" then the seller will respond with some absurd number like $120. Then i have to make an excuse why i cant buy it, so I do not appear rude.
I wouldn't have stuck around for that, you did a great job getting what you got and wanted. But I wouldn't have stuck around for all that. Yuck, I was frustrated and I was just watching it take place let alone being in the middle of that.
Thanks for watching!
That last garage sales difficult deal. You did well 👏 👍💯🏋
O M G God bless you and your patience! I would have left as soon as he said 700
I would’ve walked away after overhearing others negotiations. Those prices were crazy!!!
That was wild. 700. I would of been gone just from hearing the prices they gave everyone else.
Love the videos. I definitely couldn't have stayed at that 700 dollar yard sale. Lol. Cool you were able to get some stuff still though. Keep up the great work.
You are better than me I would have walked away from the guy offering $700 price / ok dude u sell it
Sheesh! You are patient, OMG $700, I would of walked away wasting my time. He values his items way to high thus the reason he has very little sales 🤷🏼♀️
Stop using God's name in vain
We see the people in the last sale at the Kettering Goodwill frequently. They are rude and aggressive. Happy that you were able to negotiate a good deal from them. Hope you make some serious $$$!
You have the patience of a saint, I would have walked away. Lol
Looks like I would have been walking away at that sale when he said 700. And that lady must have really liked that camera.
If he’s so jealous that you’re going to sell on eBay afterwards, then he should just do it himself!
I'm exhausted watching those sales !
Resellers Dream = stay away at all costs. They know exactly what they have and want above retail prices.
Can be either way, I’ve been to sales advertised similar that actually were great prices. As well as ones like this
I’ve also noticed, recently more Goodwill & Salvation Army stores are raising prices on the donated items they sell, as flippers post TH-cam videos showing $3 -$5 purchases being resold on-line for Big Bucks & Huge Profits.
All thrift stores are going the way of Ebay. I have even had conversations with people who work at those places but they don't make the prices. This stuff is donated and if they are going to turn it into eBay then resell on eBay which they are starting to do. Everyone is under pressure to make more money but again the stuff is donated you didn't pay a thing for it.
Yeah currently I’m temporarily at a volunteer Thrift Mart and they mark like UGG boots for $20, $240 on websites. Nike and Jordan’s anywhere from $10-20, that go for hundreds online. Guess not many people go in their and resell
OMG. I would have walked away and NEVER look back
If garage sale sellers want ebay prices, they should sell their stuff on ebay. What are they thinking?
That garage sale gave me so much anxiety!! ;)
I noticed more of the estate sales that ran by companies and some yard sales are basing their prices off eBay asking prices. I wonder if it’s because there’s so much reselling content is out there now.
I thought about using my GoPro to make content but more than half the time people in my area don’t like recording OR they assume they’re a famous TH-camr and jack up the prices (I heard them say one price and then change it when I try to get a pile/bundle deal).
Jeez , tuff negotiations
Hi Dustin, that reseller sale was painful to watch. I like when you said $700.00 almost like you were going to choke. I'm like no way. It's good you educated him, so he has a better idea of a realistic price point. Enjoyed the video.
Yeah I went to one sale when another guy started arguing with another guy for being a reseller..then the guy running the sale started getting an attitude with him when they were negotiating prices. He went from having a cart full of items down to leaving with 3 things. I wanted to help him but it would of added unnecessary fuel to the fire.
So cringey but I feel you on this. Been there, done that.
I mean I get not wanted to give your stuff away, but $700? You were a lot nicer than I would've been. I would've ask him to show me the ebay listings.
I imagine Jessica at the last part , I swear it will be an another short scenario
I always assume all VCR's are broken, nobody ever remembers the reason why they are put away.
That's some scary baby doll!
I’m so incredibly exhausted for you watching that lol. I would have walked away because time is money too lmao. Good job though!!!!
Crazy prices, I too would have been out early.
You had way more patience than me. I’d have walked away a long time ago.
Lmao, if the wife had that gameboy she would probably have said 80$
That’s what I was thinking
😅😂
