Family members that passed years ago and the family member who got the home ended up in jail. Another family member bought the property and I was able to go in and take what my husbands mom and dad from the 30's and get it for free. His mom is from Germany and came to America as a war bride back in WWII. Lots of things from Germany as well as MCM furniture. Boxes of stuff before it ended up on the curb. So grateful to get it and sell some of those things online. Some will go to my kids but you know there are items from back in day kids just don't want. I got albums as well. Cheap Trick, Pink Floyd the Wall, Rush to name a few. Amazing artwork. Got a WWI German Helmet . To many to list. My son got the rock albums. I got Tom Jones, Engelbart Humperdinck as well.

Hi Mike, I look forward to your videos every week! Just curious why you don’t always use calculated shipping?

I would have to measure and weigh every item prior. It is so easy for me to know the weight and price. On bigger items and book lots I pre-box and weigh them.

I sold an open package of vintage value brand clothing detergent for $175. I saw its last sales were over $100 but none were listed at the time so I went a bit high, it sold within a few days at full price.

I sold a 6 pack of unopened Perrier water in glass bottles from 1982. Got $250 for it. The cardboard carton was even discolored and stained. And few loose unopened bottles for $40. Sold some unopened baby wipes from the early 1990s for $50. Crazy people buy stuff and never use it for decades.

@@johnathin0061892 Wow! I'd probably never even think twice about an old pack of water bottles! It is fun to learn some random things to just keep in the back of my mind when I'm on the hunt.

Joni Mitchell Blue is the Joni $$$ album. Most Joni albums are $10-20, but that one can go for $50-80.

Hi Mike. What's the best way to pack tennis rackets?
@goldenstatepicker3 ай бұрын
You have to resize most boxes. I have every size box as I find many behind stores. I keep the ones that might fit odd shaped items.

Question: I was given a storage unit with about 400 -500 vinyl records in it some of the outer record sleeves are Moldy But the records themselves are fine and the average prices of these records are between $30-$50. Is it OK to just sell the record themselves if I pack them carefully and disclose in the listing that it is just the record?
@goldenstatepicker3 ай бұрын
No reason why not. It might be a bit more difficult, but there are people who want a better copy of a record and have the cover.
@danielle_wheels3 ай бұрын
@@goldenstatepicker thank you for taking the time to come in and helping me with that question. I had some people tell me to just throw away a perfectly good record because there is no cover
