I found that same mysteries of the unknown book set at an "estate sale" that was really just a lady selling collectibles and items out of the rooms of her home. She wanted $300, which even appeared to be more than sold comps on ebay, so I left them behind. $5 is more like it! Lady was out of her mind!

Thanks, as always, Wick. I always learn so much, especially from the actual sales videos. RE: the Danner boots you featured/sold: My husband is a huge Danner boots fan. He has a pair that he wore so much that he just sent them in to the rebuild center at the company to have them resoled. Once there, the recrafting staff had his boots apart and said that there was no sense in doing this work without fixing other issues. A sales technique? We don't think so - we did the math, and what they were describing was true - they did leak. It was either do the rebuild or replace them for wayyy more than what was charged for rebuilding them and then starting over, breaking them in to arrive at perfect boots again. About 2 weeks later - he essentially has new boots in all the Good ways, and his old boots in all the "these fit me!" ways. So, Danner boots are not only a good boot up front, but will rebuild/resole on the other side of things, if you feel like you'd like to do that.

I could be wrong because it’s just my experience but I’ve never had try me or test me batteries explode. I think they’re made using a different formula.

Hi Wick! Happy Sunday to you! I had commented before on one of your other videos, (I can’t find it now) but I was asking you about a battery charger. Because of your answer, I had the confidence to list it, and I just sold it yesterday! I had it listed for about a week before it sold. I received a best offer for $40, a 100% profit (the best kind) because I picked it up from my neighbors trash pile! I wanted to share the story with you to show you that your knowledge is helping others and your videos absolutely make a difference! And, whenever I comment I also like to ask you a question about yourself. Hope you don’t mind but it interests me! So, this time my question is, what do you think is one or two things you listed that you had a hard time letting go of because of your personal feelings. So, basically listing it as opposed to keeping it for yourself. (When I do this, I list it really high so that if it does sell, I’ve made a huge profit to make up for the personal loss) Thanks again for the content as well as always responding to my posts!

90% of that would be marked up where I live, thrift stores teach their employers how to price things. If it goes for over $50, they'll buy it for themselves (marked down) or put it on their company website. I have never seen a pair of shoes in a box nor shoes cheaper than $12. People have a better chance at garage sales and sometimes estate sales. Though the Hispanics in our area tend to be at every one of them and grab all the good stuff first. 😅 They even have their several kids involved. No one else has a chance.
