I made thousands of dollars at this private pick! AND I BARELY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE

[@jeffwanser5727]

Sigh. A situation like that calls for renting a U-Haul and grabbing everything you can afford.

[@tonycaplinger1633]

Exactly or at least rent a van,

[@kevinkelley9306]

100%. Take it all. There's no time to go through it all at the house.

[@thriftingohio4728]

Yep, that pick would have been life changing for smaller resellers like myself. I have never had the opportunity to go on a private pick.

[@mattparker3267]

I agree. Grab what you can and do the research later at home.

[@Needlenosened]

Exactly he fumble the ball big time and the comics he did grab are not the business lol I would've cashed her her for all the comics real quick and told her to throw in the Simpsons toys or whatever common other stuff he wanted

[@zeppmom]

WOW. Just WOW. If MY heart was beating fast, I'm surprised you didn't pass out! Haha! So exciting! Truly happy for everyone that benefited from this pick! I bet the former owner would have LOVED watching everyone enjoy what they treasured!! Well done!!

[@joshfagan7947]

This one really makes re-sellers look bad. In 30 seconds anyone there could have pulled out their phone and taken a look at comps. This is basically going into someone's house, seeing their collection of autographed baseballs, and saying '$10 for that Ty Cobb? That sounds fair to me!' You can't say you had no idea with respect to their value when you had a phone in your pocket. Who doesn't know that old comic books are valuable? Seriously. Re-selling is a great way to make some extra money, but fleecing people paying 1 cent on the dollar is a bad, bad look.

[@patriciakromrei5466]

Froggy Flips would've bought it out.

You’re treating those comics like old postcards in your greed. Too bad and leaving them in a mess too.

Just remember. In this line of business, transportation is a legitimate tax write-off. 🙂

[@williampeterson4416]

That’s a possibly once in a lifetime opportunity. Damn Dave. I’m sure you left thousands and thousands on the table.

[@thriftingohio4728]

Great Pick! Definitely a situation where you should have rented a U-Haul and filled it up. Now that you are full-time this would have been an amazing multi-day pick opportunity. I guess with the amount of money you missed out on you will make sure that you don't make the same mistake again. Wish I had an opportunity like this. Great video!

[@johndesposito1475]

Now, at the end of the video, I heard you did the smart thing! You probably had just a few comics out of that score that paid for the car, gas, and given up plane ticket. Good for you, Dave! And this time, no Plush, now that's amazing! 🙂

[@karenkuhr5698]

I know. Finally a pick with no plushies😅

[@ThriftedSpirit]

Okay at that point, skip the car and get a uhaul! Or you have a friend with a big trailer that was empty going home. Dave hit nervous laughter ROFL!

[@Debra95621]

That empty suitcase you took with you could have empty boxes and tape in it. Use the media room at the hotel to print labels. Ship stuff back to yourself. Where there's a will there's a way!

[@54kimba]

Dave!!!!!! Congrats on the great pick. My Dad owned his own pharmacy in the late 1960s and I used to get ALL the comics I wanted!!!! I always went every Sunday and made out like a bandit!!! That started my collecting obsession!!! Marcia

[@athenacronberg8524]

this was awesome! you deserve a great haul like this and HUGE shout out to Dani for hooking you up!

[@YorkshireRoseReseller]

Wow mate you should of gone home in a lorry 😂 I'd love to pick a house like that 👍

[@babyherc1000old]

Most people I see these buying bulk comics by the box. Something like $5-$10 a box. Then sort it out later, usually you find a few in each box to make money and bulk sell the rest. What a find!!

[@babyherc1000old]

Oh just saw the end, sucks you flew in. Oh well, you got some good stuff

[@andreaedwards1968]

Can you give us the back story on why this whole collection was left? Was this an estate sale? Why can't anyone go back and pick again? Thanks.

[@troyprice3100]

Oh My! Basement find of a lifetime!!!

[@thriftingohio4728]

You need to handle those comics very carefully, the way you are throwing them around can cause significant decreases to the value.

[@yvonnealexander3241]

Wow just Wow what a treasure house. My heart just sank when you said you can't take. I would have made a offer on all of it and rented a vehicle to take it home. A fortune there

[@bigbearcomics9744]

Dam saw hundreds of dollars left behind Hulk #340 and many others. I could only dream of a pick like this that place would be empty and my bank account.

[@Southfork.Bay.Traders]

You will know better next time... Glad you got to have that GOOD TIME

[@elbertchoi4866]

It was her cousin's father's sale. I feel sorry for her cousin because a lot of money was lost on that person's end. Im surprised her cousin's father didnt leave instructions on how to sell the comic book collection. I guess the cosuin who handled the sale didnt want to go trhough thr hassle of looking up how much some of the comics were worth.

[@Thelongs760]

Yes and no. Most families do not want to deal with people’s stuff. That usually where estate sales come in. People always wonder why are they selling everything in there home. It’s because the person passed

[@markrandy1000]

Wow wow wow amazing find Dave good luck with them all, it will help with boosting sales 🇦🇺👍👍👍👍

[@YorkshireRoseReseller]

I don't no a lot and if I started picking I would of ended up saying them words - HOW MUCH FOR EVERYTHING 😂

[@fatgrandmafinds]

That is insane! If a person had the knowledge and knew what they were walking into it might have been worth renting a U-haul and buying as much as you could fit in the truck. Just wow!

[@mommahype]

Any idea why the family didn’t call in an auction house for all of these?

[@matthewhunt-foley9788]

I could talk indefinitely on comics. I would have bought them all. Dave, this was your moment. It fell into your lap. This was a million dollar deal.

[@PeggyMerrill-s9y]

Super good haul but a shame no one is aloud to pick the rest. You’re right it could get ruined

[@johndesposito1475]

Just an FYI. You can pay the $35 to $40 for an extra bag on your flight (weight limit up to 50lbs, most airlines). That would be an extremely 'cheap' way to get extra items home. I live in California and have used this method when I've gone back East for sales (ie. Auctions in Mich. and Endless Yard sale).😁

[@johnyvega5492]

Wow u should’ve got a U-haul and rented to take all the comics and make a killing on What not!!!!

[@sherryweeks6498]

So happy for you hope you sell all your finds for top dollar

[@yobeanz]

Hey that’s a great find, I’ve been watching your channel for a long while now. Never commented though! Subscribed! I have to say this, and this isn’t directed at you personally, just something I’ve noticed with other pickers/re-sellers. Again, it’s not a dig. Sometimes with all the scurry of delving into one’s personal collections, it feels almost disrespectful, let me explain before everyone jumps on me. Ok… personally when I was younger my uncle had a great collection of vintage toys. Each and everyone of those items meant the world to him, unfortunately he passed away so his collection was basically up for grabs. As a teenager at the time all saw was a group of unknown people crazily going through items. No disregard to an item, only those items of a value to the reseller/s who at the boasted about what they paid and what they were going to make. The less interesting items just cast to one side. It saddened me, that the original owner of these items carefully cherished each and every item, to see these people just disregarding items and then just throwing them back into the box any old how sickened me. All these items were collected over years and each item had a memory, to see strangers just looking for that big return did upset me. I appreciate what re-sellers do, all the leg work to find those items to sell to collectors so they can be once again loved and cherished. All I would like to see is just a little more respect on how these items are handled. This isn’t about the money aspect, i’ve personally sold items for less than they are worth because I just want them gone, it’s helped me and it’s helped the re-seller. My only nag is regarding how these items are handled. Regardless if the person is alive or passed unwanted items shouldn’t be just thrown to one side our shoved back in a box. This all comes from what I’ve personally seen and how it made me feel. I’ve only posted this on here as I am sure you’ll understand where I maybe coming from. Anyway… great channel! :)

[@jackiebd24]

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Those strangers should have been more respectful of your Uncle's items. I hope you had a chance to keep something from your Uncle to cherish. 💙

[@yobeanz]

@@jackiebd24 Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes I did, in fact he was the one who got me into collecting myself and I love all the items I have been lucky enough to collect so far. My uncle said there was always a story attached to an item and he loved asking questions. I do respect collectors as without them items would be lost forever, so we are preserving history :). I just wanted to post the above message in hope it may resonate in one’s mind whilst diving into one’s items :) Thank you again

[@fionametcalfe8072]

i think you got great vakue with what you got... even just interms of education,, you got a good share and helped other resellers,, plus a great haul.. u did great

[@Cynthia-or4bi]

Absolutely awesome score!! I know nothing about comics either but thanks to this video I now know a little bit more. Great finds. Well done.

[@raewyn7618]

This is how a reseller learns. Just like you now have more knowledge on golf clubs, by buying and researching. Worth taking risks sometimes. This type of huge opportunity may never happen again but you will come across comics again

[@mattparker3267]

Oh…man. I saw you pass by some absolute gold. The market for comics is driven mostly by comic keys. A big key from 1986 with a 65 cent cover price can be worth many many times more than a run of the mill 12 cent comic from 1966.

[@glitterwitch718]

Dave I really wished you’d decided to drive back while you were here buying all this stuff. Wow that’s an insane collection & I’d tried to have left with as much as possible lol 😂 I’m so bad but I hate leaving money on the table 😅

[@allit614]

Remarkable. I’m amazed at how generous you are with your fellow pickers. And how fair you were with the seller. I’m not a fan of people taking back things they say are for sale. IMO, they should have taken the time to find out what they had first. So glad you had this amazing opportunity.

[@timparker9869]

I almost started crying seeing you put back a lot of Spiderman.... Number one is Big money and I seen three of them.

[@juice9164]

Honestly i think i would have done whatever i could to make a play on all toys, comics, gsmes, and media there. The comics for sure. And figured a way to store it somwwhere or even rent a uhaul. Forget the flight. Haha.

[@thriftingohio4728]

I agree!

[@Robgeee]

Wow! Craaaazy video! I wonder what they wouldve taken for all the boxes of comics

[@johndesposito1475]

A small fyi on the comics. A #1 Star Wars from 1977, $.30 cover goes for around $1000 (graded 10/ mint), maybe even more at Auction or to the right buyer. So yes, $.12 ers, are good, but it all depends. Just remember the old addage; Condition-Condition-Condition, with all that we deal in. 🙂

[@WellnessWizdom]

I have that issue but it's not mint. It's probably good - very good.

[@johndesposito1475]

Grades for Star Wars #1 $.30 cover, between a 4.0 and 5.0 (professionally graded), are only around $150 to $200, on average. It's when you get into the 9.0 and above that they are real money. 🙂

[@charlesadkins8305]

Dave , Great Finds !!!! Go back with a truck and get it all !!!!

[@dianepropson2508]

Prime Time Picker would have loved to be at that sale. He would have bought every box, I think.

[@jusa4334]

Several points: 1) First and foremost congrats on the awesome find! You made out like a bandit lol. 2) To those complaining you may have underpaid, i give you the benefit of the doubt because you genuinely seem like you don’t have experience with comics. So in a way it’s kind of foreign territory for you. 3) Given the sample size shown, I would have made an offer on the entire collection, rented a uhaul and drive it all the way home :) 4) You picked up an Amazing Fantasy #14 …. One issue away from #15 (first appearance of Spiderman)… who knows it could have been in the collection!!!! 5) Is there a way you can update the audience on what big books the other pickers found?

[@johndesposito1475]

Underground comics have a very large following. Especially, the 'Cherry' (also Cat Dancer, Omaha) you saw. Don't underestimate the offbeat brands of comics ( Kitchen Sink, etc.) from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. There is some gold there if in better shape and earlier print numbers. 🙂

Why can't you go pick there again? You probably said & I just missed it. I'll have to watch again to see if I missed it. If I were you I'd ask, actually beg my friend to let me go pick again. If you have the money, you would be smart to buy it ALL. I'd get a business loan if I had to. IDK what your finance situation is but I'd beg & borrow to scrape the money together. Alex from Curiosity Inc does that from time to time & he always makes A LOT of money doing it. Explain to her that many of the comics will get ruined with Winter coming & if a pipe burst, that's it. Hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of comics could be ruined. If not you'll make some good money on the stuff you did get. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍...
