15:30 I have to echo this sentiment. I found a full size Howard Miller mantle clock at the SALVO for $7 recently. The comps were insane (500-1000 range) so we took it home expeditiously . But once I got it home and gave it a once over, I was sorta surprised at how shoddy the build quality was. I’m no clock expert, so I assumed if this is a luxury item then this one’s gotta be a fake. Too scared to list it so I just gave it away. Good to know I wasn’t alone in noticing this.

I just don't know where people are finding this amazing things for so cheap. I go to garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales, you name it, and anything of any value is tagged with the highest possible value. People aren't selling their junk for a quarter or a dollar anywhere near me. Everyone looks up the price of everything online and tries to get every cent out of it, even at a a yard sale. I went out this weekend and I'd say 95% of things I saw worth anything were marked within 10% of the top items on ebay. And the few things I do manage to find that are really valuable do not move fast.

Most of my inventory seems to be stuff like that because things that sell I can't find good deals on.
