I love seeing you show that ❤ but to those that support you on Whatnot! I have been crushing things as well on that app so best of luck on the shows! Much ❤ & go birds!

[@pickingandpunching]

Love to hear you are doing well on whatnot.

[@CharlenePatterson-jr8mb]

The $10 bag of purse tags was great! The other jewellery all looked like beautiful pieces that you should make a profit from! Great video! I know with all you & your family have been thru recently, it must be hard to stay motivated but you're doing a fantastic job!

[@pickingandpunching]

Thank you! Work has been a great escape for me.

[@PapaPunching]

Nice pickup!!!! Great bag of purse tags..👌👍👊💪

[@pickingandpunching]

I think I’m going to do better than I thought on them.

[@PieceofScrap]

Great finds! I'd like to learn more about jewelry as well.

[@pickingandpunching]

Thank you

[@LoriRustrom]

Great finds today Rod. You did great with the jewelry!!! I hope you and your family are doing better. Take care

[@pickingandpunching]

Thank you!

[@yvonner.9175]

Love your videos. Keep picking. take care!

[@pickingandpunching]

Thank you!

[@bruceritchie4382]

I notice both Dave and Kevin are also getting into jewelry. My twin sister ( we just turned 65 ) she always carries a loop magnifier with her. You should get one.

[@pickingandpunching]

I keep a loop in my truck now when I go out. Great idea!

[@kimross6279]

Great finds. ❤😊

[@pickingandpunching]

Thanks!

[@3goodtimes3]

I'm sorry I missed u on whatnot yesterday. Great video.

[@pickingandpunching]

It’s all good. It was a quick 20 min raid train show.

[@breezeflippers]

If you enjoy what you do and make a profit, then I am not sure how it “sucks the life out of you”. I enjoy finding the same things you do. Sometimes I make big profits, other times smaller, but I profit. I spend enough time each week to source and list. It’s relaxing to me because my 9-5 job is stressful. Reselling is fun. I am always looking for new things to sell and learn about. That is how I got into comics and I have done good with them. Also, now I am an avid collector and reader as well. 😊 eBay isn’t my full time income. It’s my Funtime income. It pays for itself and it gives my wife and I something to have in common and work on. If you are full time on eBay and it’s sucking the life out of you, well you need to figure out something different. Thanks Rod. Great video and picks on this. I saw a few things that I will be looking for now as well.

[@pickingandpunching]

@@breezeflippers I agree with you 100%.

[@Moparguy99-d8z]

I'm tired of eBay as well 😂 but I love the journey and the hunt so much eBay is almost non-existent when I'm out there thrifting.I wake up extra early on my days off get a good work out in wash my car open the sunroof blast my music and just enjoy the hunt, especially when my girl doesn't come 😂😂😂😂. When i just found a bose wave radio cd player for 10 bucks and it literally just sold for me this morning for 120 😮 definitely makes me reconsider thinking negative about ebay 😂😂😂

[@pickingandpunching]

Ebay has there issues. I will be the first one to admitted it. I will say it is also one of the greatest sites ever. It allows us to do what we love and make some good money from it.

[@jrsanchez1315]

I was a sports stuff guy, then ventured into jewelry especially the costume jewelry. If you go for the vintage marked stuff like Trifari, Manet, Brighton, Gerry's etc you can do well. Of course, any jewelry maker sterling, 925 or 10k/14k works too.

[@pickingandpunching]

As a fellow sports guy myself, Thank you!

[@JamieJoCribbs]

Great video!

[@pickingandpunching]

Thank you

[@juantovar4287]

Jewlery and vintage obsolete official badges are great niches due to the size and some have great value . Just saw two badges sell for 1,600 on ebay and I just sold one for 300 and two for 150 each . you need a magnifying glass to read the brands clear and look out for brooches as well 🤑🤑. Best bet is looking at sold comps from high to low and getting familiar with the top brands and styles 💪 in this job knowledge is power to keep on picking and punching 👊 😅

[@pickingandpunching]

100% you need to keep learning. Knowledge is power. Thanks for the obsolete tip.

[@TheFriskySquid]

Rod is dabbling in jewelry just as I got into it?! To be honest I'm surprised you didn't start sooner. Honestly I used to skip over jewelry because it takes so much time to look at that could be used at other sales. What's great is I don't even have to look it up or list it if I get a good enough price I can just sell it for melt price to local shops for instant turn around. So far I have found silver and gold filled stuff, but all it takes is one gold ring or necklace to get the time spent back. And honestly the silver I do find pays for the time itself, a few bucks of silver here and there adds up quick.

[@pickingandpunching]

It’s from picking with other pickers that got me into it. One of the pickers found a couple of hundreds of dollar in jewelry when I had a crappy day. That jewelry could have been mine because I saw it first. I passed on it because I didn’t know anything about it.

[@TheFriskySquid]

@@pickingandpunching We all miss stuff. I see toys and jewelry a good amount but they are two vast areas that I need to learn about. That and sports cards. So many niches I walk by just because I know nothing about them.

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

Good way to learn to source Jewelry. Hard to work thru the table. Luck..

Thanks!

Brighton is really good... look for the purses

[@pickingandpunching]

Good tip, thank you.

[@jessicawilliams9723]

I think thar was rude of rhe guy to say her item was garbage because it didn't have a battery in it he was trying to get something for pretty much nothing. I definitely loved to DB bag you picked up and the jewelry but the awesome deal of the eay was that bag of purse tags 👍🏽👏🏽

[@pickingandpunching]

Yes I was a little taken back by him when he came up.

[@jessicawilliams9723]

@@pickingandpunching I had a feeling you did because if I remember correctly when you edited your video it cut to the next scene after he said that which I felt was a good idea. Anyways I love your content I love the items you pick and I enjoy your personality can't wait to see more 😊.

[@gregpies1649]

She ain't wrong eBay do suck the life out of you with their fees and throw postage into the mix and it makes it hard to sell anything.

[@fabulousfinds1045]

Ebay only sucks if you sell smalls! I cant understand how people sell low profit margin items like a $10 hat or a $12 vase....HELL...all the time it takes to list, take pics, wrap, and ship ....YOU'RE LOOSING MONEY!! Its so stupid!!! I make a great living on ebay - my "average item sold" is $69! My profit margins are huge. The problem is you watch these idiotic youtubers that just film to get subscribers like part time picker and so many others!

[@pickingandpunching]

I understand that everyone hates paying selling fees. It would cost us twice of much if we had to bring that traffic to our own site. Unfortunately, eBay fees are one of those evils we have to deal with.

[@mandoe.8504]

FEEBAY REALLY, REALLY SUCKS!! IN SOO MANY WAYS!!! 👎 CRAIGSLIST ALOT OF SCAMMERS 👎 OFFER UP ALOT OF LOWBALLERS 👎 I'VE BEEN DOING GREAT AT MY LOCAL $WAPMEET/FLEAMARKET. I DO BEST WHEN I BUY IN BULK AT CERTAIN PLACES & BRAKE IT DOWN PIECE BY PIECE AT MY LOCAL $WAPMEET.

[@Moparguy99-d8z]

Yes it can be a headache but let's be a little thankful that we do have platforms such as eBay to make some extra cash.You get what u put in and it only sucks if u let the negatives consume u.

[@SealAdobo]

$1 margin all day baby! Every other second of the day cha-ch$ing! cha-ch$ing!

[@jimiverson6171]

shoulda grabbed that Texas instrument calculator for a buck, those are expensive

[@danh6746]

They've definitely dropped in value lately, but for $1 ... yeah can't pass that up lol!

[@pickingandpunching]

I was actually going to grab it and forgot it.

[@tambou5022]

Certain texas instruments are wanted. Watch the soles.

[@tambou5022]

Solds

[@jimiverson6171]

@@tambou5022 i already know, i used to get the brand new ones, ti83, 83+, and 84 College edition, major money, expecially if they are new. Ebay charges too much and i used to get them dirty cheap like 20 a pop

[@tristan261235]

Omg you passed on a ti-84, those are my best sellers instant 25$ profit !

[@pickingandpunching]

I didn’t mean to. I was planning on grabbing it but forgot to put it in my pile.

[@Moparguy99-d8z]

They do sell extremely fast just sold one, it literally sold in like 30 min 😂😂😂

[@glyndaallenbaugh1334]

Alex and Andy are charm bracelets, any thing lilly pulitzer

Didn’t know about Alex and Andy. Thanks

[@Vineyardedge]

I would sell off my hoard too, but garage sales are way too much work.

[@pickingandpunching]

They are so much work. We did one earlier this year. I spent sooooo much time prepping for it.

[@ThriftedSpirit]

Don't buy Sarah Covington. Kat and Kevin are better at jewelry than I am. I found that if I can grab big lots for low I'll always find something good. I always pick up silver/gold about 25% are fake so far.

[@pickingandpunching]

Thanks

[@cherylosbourne2203]

White Bose radio? Did you see it?

[@pickingandpunching]

I did see it. I have a bunch at home that I haven’t listed yet. When it comes to electronics. If I normally have a back stock of a certain item that I haven’t listed yet, I won’t pick certain things up. I try to limited the amount of electronics I get just because of the extra work I need up spend to test them.

[@christophernutter6112]

Doctors bag i sold one before for good money

This one wasn’t in the best shape. It was a cool piece.

Use a magnet it stick to metal not sterling silver

It doesn't work? A battery operated clock....add a battery or change the movement

I've started using paper towel tubes for necklaces...they can tangle so easily

[@pickingandpunching]

That’s a good idea.

[@ShadowNTime]

Do you test all your movies first?

[@pickingandpunching]

If the disc is clean looking, I don’t. I only test them if they are scratched or if I resurface them.

[@Bill-hd2kj]

You need to bring a magnifier with you to check for marks like makers marks, 925, 14kt etc. as the marks can be tiny. You should also get a gold and silver test kit. Find a pawn shop that has a metal analyzer machine that can tell you the exact metals percentages (gold, silver, etc) in your jewelry finds. There is a pawn shop near me that does the tests for free.

[@pickingandpunching]

Great tips. Thank you.

[@tambou5022]

"Ya, you probably haven't heard of Lily Pulitzer". Wow lady !

[@pickingandpunching]

I honest don’t think she was saying it to be mean. I think it just came across wrong.

[@lorrierobert181]

Put a magnet on the jewelry if it's gold or silver it will not stick

[@pickingandpunching]

Good tip. I need to bring a magnet with me.

[@SouthernVermontVintage]

Magnet does not tell you much, not worth putting trust in it. Old Platinum for instance. Marks mean nothing, you can test, at a cost of digging deep enough to make sure you are through any plating. Time and knowledge like all categories. If I can tell you one thing never trust and marked jewelry, unless 100% familiar. ✌🏻💚

[@Gareth-q4p]

I find this story so strange because this video is posted 14 hours ago and I know eBay you can sell for free now.. so who’s lying?

[@pickingandpunching]

What do you mean sell for free? eBay removed selling fees for Germany 2023 and UK recently. They did not remove selling fees for US sellers.
