Do HUGE Garage Sale SCORES make us feel GUILTY?

[@gk-wu2zj]

21:20 Word of caution if anyone finds a ScanSnap and dollar signs flash in your eyes. Check the paper feed rollers inside (the front panel opens up,) as they often melt and turn to goo. They are not user serviceable. You can get replacements for them, but nearly have to disassemble the entire scanner to do the fix. A project that’ll take the better part of an afternoon depending on your mechanical skill.

[@michaelmarmora13]

Never feel guilty! Retailers charge an extremely high markup to everyone on their items in stores, its basic economics. People host garage sales to get rid of stuff they don't want anymore, not to make a bottom line. We as resellers take risks all the time. We miss flaws when buying stuff. We don't test electronics, get home and the don't work; do the people hosting the sales feel bad for us? buyer AND seller beware in an open marketplace. We all been to sales where an n64 that's been "lovingly" used is being sold for 100$ and god bless the people at that sale thinking someone would pay that amount. They don't feel guilty asking that amount. If they are willing to let it go and you're not forcing them or stealing it, its all fair game. Great video as always you two!

[@OriginalNethead]

There's a woman locally who I call "the Witch", who does bully people. She and her male friend, termed "the Warlock". (don't be evil , people; it'll bite you in the end.) I pay mostly what they ask, but sometimes will ask for a $1 off on a $21 sale; that's about it. Have I felt guilty a few times? Yes, but most times the sellers just want whatever it was GONE. It's taking up space. I once got two Disney binders FULL of pins, plus two brand new portable pin trader bags.. for a whopping $20 the lot. The lady flat out told me she knew her mother had paid a lot for them, but Mom was gone and daughter wanted them out of the house. She set the price. I resold the pile for over $600, and the buyers thought they were getting a steal. Probably were!

[@lin90210]

That scanner sold quickly. So cool 😊 the glasses could be made by independent artists. Who knows. I've seen artists draw their own graphics and use a machine to heat transfer to glass tumblers.

[@New_Gaming_Chair]

When I was BROKE, I would find FREE items online like CRT TV's, desk and rugs. I would clean them and resell them the SAME day or next. It does feel predatorial at times BUT times are tough.

[@RonHelton]

Nothing to feel predatory about, you expended your time and energy to clean up something and give it a new life instead of it ending up in a landfill.

[@jrsanchez1315]

Again, you took the initiative in a dire situation and used your time and energy to get the $$. Kudos to you!!

[@ZaneH1]

Usually I don't ever feel guilty. Only time I've ever felt guilty is when I got a sealed tin of 2006 pokemon cards for $5 locally and I ended up making about $2500 off of it. I didn't even know the value when I purchased it.

[@UniqueTraumaObsessed]

Yep. Pokémon is always valuable. Never forget it. Lol.

[@TeeDeeTD]

Crazy how quick all those finds you just listed sold so quickly - hope the Pyrex goes full price!

[@sharona3048]

I bought a pair of Burberry pants at a garage sale for $1. I sold them for about $80. My mom was shocked that such a thing was possible. I wonder how someone ended up selling it for only $1. Was it a gift from someone they didn't like? Did they buy it from a thrift store for $5 and never heard of the brand? Or did they fail to realize that they sold me their favorite pair of pants? If that last was true, I would feel a bit guilty. Otherwise, no. I agree with Candace, people need to do their homework. And they need to do thw work of listing and shipping if they want an Ebay price. 😅

[@JanetCary]

I never feel guilty! Your points , Lonnie, were spot on. It takes a set of skills to sell on ebay. People don't realize all that goes into it.

[@wesewpro]

oh my goodness, Candace, "...Mrs. Dumpty!?" 😂😂😂That was hilarious!

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Hello from Germany 🙂 ... I bought a broach in a second-hand-store . It was a leaf for 2 € ... It was bent on one side , and when I looked closer at home , it was a stamp saying 14K rosegold --- what was about 260 € = I didn`t feel guilty --- more like happy 😀

[@LadyPicker]

This is tongue in cheek so I’m not serious. You mean you didn’t take it back? Thats what my husbands friend asked me when I told him I’d found cash in an old teapot at a garage sale. Um…. No. I bought the teapot and found it when I got home and was washing the things I’d purchased.

[@bettydarling2445]

Sometimes folks just need to clean house. Got their use out of it and are ready to move on. I got a Mr Christmas carousel from FBM that I wouldn’t have looked for but for Candice. It was $20 and they were moving cross country and getting rid of extra items. I sold for $150 and they were happy to get rid of it after enjoying it for years.

[@findingvintagetreasures8158]

I was a paralegal at law firm for 15+ years and we used the Scan Snap scanner to scan all incoming documents, which was A LOT.

[@juantovar4287]

I never felt guilty since I only bought from thrift stores but since I been buying storage units , I've felt guilty a few times in the big scores and affects me being happy I found great stuff, hopefully once the money roles in it will pass 😬😅

[@squirls1025]

I have made the comment about how much something sells for on ebay at a garage sale and the person said " Well, then you should buy them all so you can make lots of money!" Most people understand this fast and don't want to hassle with listing things so I never feel guilty either. And like you said, everybody has the same access as we do with selling. Most people don't want to hassle with online selling that is why they are having a garage sale and most people donate the stuff when the sale is over. So my time is worth money as well.

[@venettalarson4953]

Sometimes people just want to get rid of stuff. They may know what it is worth but are happy to get it gone.

[@jrsanchez1315]

I don't feel guilty especially when folks are getting the price they want for items. Those great scores are few and far between. I am seeing a trend where folks at yard sales etc. are quoting "eBay prices" as potential prices for their items. That's when I just walk away. A great score is my reward for all my hard work!

[@shedflips]

We went to a sale yesterday and I kid you not, every item had an eBay printout!

[@juantovar4287]

🤣🤣🤣 I could understand if they printout the "SOLD" NOT the selling comps 🧐🤣 from eBay and ask for 25%-50% of that price but to ask for over 60% 😳 it's like good luck to you and move on

[@PdiddytTube]

It's good you have such a long garage sale season. Once October hits sales here in the northeast are pretty much non existence. Estate sale season is here!!

[@justme4016]

I hear ya Very Northern MI ours stop by Set we have Snow in October and the snow doesn't leave until May so you have to find enouh stuff to sell over our LONG Winter

[@thebenroberts]

I never feel guilty. The fact they are having a garage sale, they know they are not getting "what it's worth". If they wanted to maximize profits there are several other ways to sell the item. It feels like common knowledge that garage sale prices are lower than every other form of selling.

[@MrBUYaLOT]

Great question. Knowledge is money. You deserve whatever you make, limitless. The seller made the decision to sell at a yard sale with convenience in mind. Your experience and business setup determines what you profit. You might turn a $5 item into $500 with your MEGA Ebay store and someone else might sell it in a local shop for $50. Does that mean you should feel guilt because you have patience or better clientele to make more? NO. It's business and it applies to investments, cars, real estate, groceries, services, and yes resellers :)

[@marksprinkle]

I don't even do yard sales. The times I have, people say things like "well, I've seen it going for _____ on Ebay" when I ask prices. I just do online estate auctions. Dead people don't overprice their stuff.

[@Doggystyleflipper]

Is the person selling the widget happy with the deal? Is the person buying it from us happy? Win Win is all that matters. We're just brokers of deals between sellers and buyers. Great video!

[@marcusesteves3120]

New subscriber here. Glad I found you guys! My best find has been two things. A brioni dress shirt I bought for 7.99 in Yuma Arizona. new they are like $199 used they go for $50-80. 2nd item was a set of anime books I bought for about 18-20 bucks (18 books in the set) sold it for about $150 I have no regrets ever to buying things like you said … everyone has the capability to search and find out what it costs.

[@kathybarnett1905]

Thanks for the video!!,, I appreciate the chat. I m a long time ebayer......but always enjoy seeing what's cooking for others and the motivation 😊

[@Gary_Le_Strange]

I paid their asking price when I bought it so now it's mine to do with as I choose, guilt free. The outlier would be if I have a personal relationship with the party I'm buying something from. Friend or family I'll offer them a more so we both benefit.

[@ilind2021]

I never feel guilty you two are so very awesome🥰

[@rgdodson]

Most people don't have the interest or energy to have a garage sale or donate their "stuff" somewhere. They either just throw it all out or take it to the recycling station. In my experience garage sellers simply want items out of their house and if they can make a few bucks in the process, that is great as far as they are concerned. I am reselling just as a hobby, but my basement "storage area" is full of items that I have gotten for free that I am slowly listing in my eBay store.

[@traviswick7177]

I used that scanner at work. It's the best scanner I ever used.

[@krystluangasa777]

found a old brand new radio/stereo for a specific motorcycle for $40 and they were asking $60. Sold it for $1500+shipping. I had no idea.. this was about 5 years ago when i started my reselling journey. I did feel guilty but i honestly did not know what it was, beginners luck i guess.

[@bamadad9927]

I never feel guilty, especially if I paid their price. A lot of people don't know how to look up the price correctly, that's why you have all the "sells on ebay" ads at yard sales. Some don't know the difference between listed and actual solds, and they usually end up still having those items when it ends.

[@jimhorne8855]

As a garage seller, I take less than value on a lot of items because I don’t want to deal with ebay(I do have an account) and shipping. And returns are non existent.

[@Panzer-xi5uj]

Sales are cranking up 💪💪💪 as for feeling guilty I never have the seller names the price if I can make money I buy it 😅 it’s the buzz you get for finding a great deal can’t beat it 😊

[@dianepropson2508]

Orders certainly are not a given. It is Oct 6, 1:08 p.m. and have one sale all day. October 1 I had two sales and it is has been crickets since. I am waiting to get on a good server but that hasn't happened at all this year.

[@EdWhite-i3i]

It's for sale because they don't want it..any money for them is instant gratification...never feel bad..people over think this question..keep it up.

[@RonHelton]

The value of any item is what the buyer is willing to pay for it. You could buy an item that previously sold for good money and then you find that nobody wants it. The sale of any item at a garage sale is totally within the control of the seller. Nothing to feel guilty about.

[@FoundThingsandFamilyLegacies]

I don't feel guilty! Not only all you mentioned - but, my "education" into realizing value is on the COST of learning! I did find a Bible from late 1800s that had been modified - as in it wasn't fully there for free and it sold over $300. I counted my tremendous blessings as that one sale helped toward ONE credit of my son's university tuition. God's blessing cup!

[@SnaggleKrate]

I did feel a little guilty once buying a huge box of fiestaware for $12. I've also had thoughts of 'bless your heart' when I walked up to a garage sale and saw the sign for $10 t shirts and $15 blue jeans and they were just regular plain shirts and jeans.

[@thebenroberts]

Also, if I end up at a garage sale of someone I know, I tell them before I shop, if I offer a price and you don't like it...say no. I don't need a relationship ruined over $2 because you didn't have the fortitude to keep from discounting.

[@edosaesanboreriamiatoe503]

Knowledge is power!!!

[@LMicheleS]

I love those glasses - I hope you find out more info or at least sell them for a healthy profit!

[@TheDebbiesDooDads]

I thought they were the Libbey Atomic pattern when I first saw then. But it really isn’t. There was something similar on Etsy but not the same they had them labeled as Mcm with no brand, but I have a feeling they are older than that. My mom used to have a libbey glassware book, wonder if I can find it.

[@NASCARorbascarpeople]

I would absolutely never feel “guilty” about it. The person SOLD it to me. There’s no reason I would be guilty for it. But maybe I feel bad, or feel like I should/should’ve given them more money just out of the kindness of my heart, but never feel like I’m wrong for not giving it.

[@ToyAddict]

Even if someone knows how much something is worth, they don't always have the time or energy to list it and sell it. I just assume everyone is getting what they wanted, based on the price they put on it.

[@flippinwithamy3397]

I found some tea cups once. I couldn’t find any comps. I listed them high. I got my asking price and quickly.

[@IAMsuchristine]

Those glasses remind me of Fred Press glassware.

[@marionkirkpatrick3812]

have you ever found a nice suitcase that was locked? I have a nice hardcore Hartmann that I can't get open? Maybe it was a bad buy, but I was at the goodwill bins.I pull a Lonnie every time.

[@keithjackson1180]

Back when I was a collector of things, I would deal with people who would brag about finding a $100 item priced at $10 and then talking the people down to $5. Their justification was that the seller should have known what they had. People should, but when you have older people just clearing out stuff that may have belonged to their kids or grandkids, they may not know anything about it. However, if the seller knows what they have and are trying to sell that $100 item for $80 or $90 then they complain about not wanting to pay @$#%$ing eBay prices.

[@tugbizoat]

I bought the backpack just to show some love to the channel

[@shedflips]

Thanks so much!

[@panhandleflips]

It's not that were buying low, its often what they ask. Its more so that other people are buying high. I feel more guilt for them in this triangle. When I see a big sale come through on something I paid just dollars or cents for I feel bad for my buyer (sometimes). Im typically over feeling bad in 1 or 2 seconds though. Then Im mainly just happy and validated. We do a lot to find these items, research, test, clean, pack, ship and cater to our buyers. Theres a ton of value in that.

[@Shellinagogo]

Unsure if anyone has helped with those glasses but they really look like some anthropologie ones that I saw once. I cant find them now but they def give anthropologie vibes

[@sandrac6892]

Hi Lonnie and Candice! Great video! I was flipping through the channels last night and Nickelodeon premiered Monster High 2 movie (Thursday). I hope and pray you sell the rest of the dolls! Have a great weekend!

The new dolls will be hitting stores shortly. Just in time for Christmas....im buying 5 of as many dolls I can, and gunna ride the wave, hopefully its profit lol

[@sandrac6892]

Good luck!

[@cyndyhouse6886]

I generally don't feel guilty. When I do, I usually reason with myself the points that Lonnie made. Then I'm good. Candace you are on the track with people not looking things up. I want to say that I got more than a little curious about the glasses. Years ago I had some Tiffin glass. I knew it was Tiffin. But they were made at a time where a lot of glass companies put a sticker on their glasses, not a mark in the glass. So, if they were used, the stickers get washed off. I bought them at an auction. There was 1 sticker in the bottom of the cardboard box. But I couldn't get anyone to believe they were Tiffin. I finally got authentication on them after a few years. By that time, I was moving from OH to NC and gave them to my friend. Anyway, when I saw these I felt for you trying to identify them. I have been all over the internet, as I know you have been, trying to help you find info on them. No luck! After 2 days searching in my free time, I have to give up and move on, lol! Good luck with the glasses. Also wanted to say that I when I saw the scanner listed, I thought the price was in the ballpark. Then I saw it sold already! Awesome! I could go on & on about the subjects discussed in your videos. So glad another reseller "introduced" you two in their video. You've quickly become my new favorite to watch. Thank-you!

[@reneemaxwell6014]

Have you tried Culver glassware?

[@terrystexastreasures6809]

Good idea but I think those are too heavily gilded, w 22k gold. Maybe Georges Briard?

[@dawncloninger1798]

Never feel guilty...if you get a good deal...oh well...if you come to my sale...I will send you out with everything just for me to get it cleared out at a super price...I know there're sellers out there...I will probably give you a better deal...if I was concerned... I would have Checked it out first...go get the best deals...you guys are great sellers and sourcers.

Hi Lonnie and Candice! Just wondering, have you ever considered getting an air pillow machine? I would like to hear your reasoning for why you will or won't be investing in one at some point in the future.

[@williampeterson4416]

That’s why I truly hate glassware. So much is hard to identify and there’s so many listed. Hate it, with a passion. 😂

[@SideHustlerCarl]

On feeling guilty. Let's say the person having the sale does not sell the item...then what??? Probably end up at Goodwill!!! No guilt for any purchase ever. They are happy they sold it and not having to repack it and store it or load it in the truck to take to the Goodwill.

[@laurabeauchamp1667]

I think the worst thing about Humpty Dumpty is that they never actually said he was an egg….. Thanks for another great video!

Candice have you given any thought of them being Tupperware related. My aunt back in the eighties ordered Tupperware a lot . One time she got a free gift with her order. It a set of four plastic tumblers with similar patterns.

[@shedflips]

I didn’t think Tupperware ever had glass products

[@kristirose2289]

I found a bunch of sterling silver jewelry at a garage sale. They wanted $1 per item. I bought 15 items and it’s worth $800. I did feel guilty. But to Candace’s point, these were young people so no excuses!

[@ritamorgan3596]

I never feel guilty. When I have a yard sale I price things to sell so I can get rid of it. If someone can make something off it then I'm happy for them. Sometimes I will sell stuff in a yard sale I know I could sell on Ebay but just don't want to deal with it for one reason or the other. So no....I don't feel guilty either for buying something at a yard sale for a good price to resell.

[@UltraReefReseller]

Candice is the friend that you put on your DNR. She WILL pull the plug with no remorse! LOL 😅🤣😂

[@kiwigirlali]

Or my sister....I was an emergency admission to hospital with pneumonia...she was with me so I said to nurses to list her as my next of kin. My sister gave her details then the next thing out of her mouth to the nurse...was "Oooo that means I get to pull the plug ...exciting!" Lol..

[@ToyAddict]

I did feel a bit guilty when I won a bunch of artist Teddy Bears at a local online auction. I bid about $20 on each of the bears, but no one bid against me, so I won 20 OOAK artist bears for $4 each. I went and picked them up from the owner and she seemed so sad that they sold for so little. I could tell from price tags that she had already tried to sell them at an in-person sale for $95 each. She told me that she paid more for each of the bears than I was paying for all of them. 😳😳Ugh! I tried to offer her some more money, but she wouldn't take it.

[@5trishann]

I never feel guilty. They sell it for the price they are willing to take or want for it.

[@williampeterson4416]

Hell naw, the person agrees to the price and I bet they don’t feel bad if I purchase something and it doesn’t work or it doesn’t sell. That’s the contract between the buyer and seller.

[@chardarlington2715]

Do people feel guilty when you buy something and you make no money it's a chance when you buy things

So you would not be complaining if garage sellers look up their stuff and just mark it up at ebay prices.

I think if you feel "guilty" then you shouldn;t be in reselling... Unless you rip off a Child... but when you buy something from an Adult... especially today where everyone has access to internet basically where they could look up items if they wanted... so NO I don;t ever feel guilty

[@JodiTinVA]

Those glasses … Is it just me or could they have a Worlds Fair (1964?) vibe to them?

[@Antiqueexcavator]

Guilty?? Most garage sales that have $1 prices on items are of the kind that the owners just want to get rid of everything, many are purging and just want to live leaner. The only way I’d feel bad is if someone sold something by mistake, especially an item that has sentimental value. If I would happen to find out snd still had the item I’d offer it back. Unless it was worth a lot. Lol jk!!!!!
