When I was a kid (in the 90’s) my parents didn’t bother buying me any Tonka Trucks. My dad’s (which had been sitting in the same sandbox) would do just fine, they thought. And, surprisingly, they were right. Tonka Trucks, one of the most nostalgic parts of many childhoods, last forever. Not to mention that …
There’s not much more enjoyable than being a reseller and finding out that something you love collecting already is actually worth a bunch of money. That was the situation I was in a couple of years ago when a friend mentioned that they had been unable to find a Dr. Seuss book and ended up …
As a reseller, my entire purpose is to find things that no one else recognizes as valuable and flip them for a ton of money. Typically this involves crawling through thrift stores, cleaning/fixing what I find, and then reselling it on eBay (for up to $15,000/month in sales). Several years ago one of the niches …
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 …
Depression Glass holds a special place in the heart of almost anyone who loves vintage or antique decorations. For my wife, pink depression glass is the absolute creme de la creme of antique glassware and she has (not without encouragement) filled our dining room china case with all sorts of depression glassware settings. However, it’s …
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 …
Despite having sold on eBay full-time for more than 5 years there are still types of items I know absolutely nothing about. I spend dozens of hours perusing thrift stores every week for things to sell and have to pass by several shelves of goods that I just don’t have enough expertise to go through. …
The name Michael Jordan is almost synonymous with basketball and has been for many years. Thanks to his appearances in the Space Jam films and his years of dominance in the sport, he became a household name. To resellers such as myself, however, the name Michael Jordan has become synonymous with money. Not because he’s …
The comic book is one of the hardest things to judge when looking for valuable resale items. Sure, we all know to grab vintage Marvel or Star Wars comics but what about the weird stuff that’s worth big money? Well, until recently I hadn’t put in the time to really understand which comic books are …
