Great haul! I'm sure I would have purchased some of those items since they were in new condition. But I don't usually buy many train related items because I don't know enough about them. I LOVE that you straightened up the table for them and that you always put your cart back. That is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I constantly remind my kids to always put the shopping cart back. It's so nice to know there are still some considerate people in the world! Good luck selling the rest of your items!

I’ve only really just started watching KZbin channels all users on flipping a garage sales etc and what I love about you is you do a commentary so it’s not boring. A couple of others so make great profits but just watching them shop is really quiet. So the commentary that you give over the top, is actually really engaging and I just want to say thank you because it is keeping me really engaged. One that I was also engaged with was a couple and they were really funny. But someone on their own generally not talking I lose interest. The only thing I do request is when you put a thing up in writing, it’s really Difficult to read because it goes so quickly. I have to rewind and pause. Which is okay but just something I have noticed after watching a few different flipping people. But keep up the good work. You’re really engaging me and I am enjoying watching you and loving the commentary

Omg amazing haul and profit….. i’m starting to think about seriously selling stuff on eBay but the fees are just a killer, but marketplace is meh. So when I saw how much you spent on the second day, I nearly choked on my coffee as it’s like 10 times what I spend normally. I think the most I’ve ever spent in one transaction was about 50 or $60. And it’s usually all stuff for me, And I have to justify it to husband by saying I’ve got you this. (a token thing. Lol). But I am thinking about getting into flipping. I’ve just gotta convince husband to go to garage sales. But yeah I nearly had a bit of a “what that” moment when you spent $374, and then realise the day before you spent loads and it wasn’t even a half price, but given how much you made it was worth every single cent. Well done

Curious too, did they mention if a train store was going out of business or was this from a collector?
