If you’ve been flipping or collecting antiques for any length of time you’ve probably realized that just about everyone knows about the same few things. Every time I walk into an estate sale I find that people flock around the jewelry or the antique coins while totally ignoring other things that are way more valuable …
Ya know what’s better than cuddling with a cute and puffy Squishmallow? Cuddling with a rare Squishmallow that no one else can cuddle with because they’re not willing to spend $400 on it. At least, that’s why my wife seems to think. When I bought my wife her first squishmallow I didn’t realize that when …
Buying a car is always always a harrowing experience. When I was thinking of this article I sat down and realized that I’ve done it 11 times. Since I’ve never bought a brand-new car (and usually bought from private sellers) it always feels like a roll of the dice. If you are feeling super adventurous …
If you’re just getting into buying or selling online you’re probably a bit overwhelmed by the number of platforms available. Should you use eBay? Poshmark? thredUP? Mercari? Or maybe all of them?

They get the item and you get money? Well, unfortunately, Poshmark makes it a little more time-consuming than that. While getting paid on …
Having grown up on a farm (with a grandpa who threw nothing away) I was always coming across strange things in sheds or tucked away in random corners of the barn. I remember coming across a crate of antique Coke bottles at one point while “exploring” and asking my grandpa if I could use them …
Like many other mid-level luxury brands, the Coach market is rife with fakes. This is true whether you’re buying new or used, retail or private. The sad truth is, many people don’t know how to tell if a coach bag is fake and end up buying a bag that would be more at home in …
Maybe I’m just a bit slow but I had been selling on eBay for more than a year by the time I heard of a Reseller’s Permit (also known as a Resale Certificate or Exemption Certificate). I was checking out at one of my favorite stores and the cashiers asked to see my Resellers Permit. …
