Who else is hooked? We learning we thank you 🙏 Sir and your wife. Much love from Arizona 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🏜🏜🏜🏜🦂🦂

[@junkingwithlou]

I’m so glad you showed your basement at the end. I sell at my antique booths and people don’t realize how you often sit on items and how much room these businesses take up in our homes. Not always easy. Thanks for giving folks a dose of reality and how much you work 👍

[@13marcusv]

I appreciate that you showed your basement and explained how you’re not automatically selling items as soon as they get posted.

[@Melissaintheburg]

I like this format, the narrative in the car, as you drive from sale to sale

[@propicker]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@toddprokipchuk304]

Old videos, New videos they are all awesome..........now i just need some more pro flipper ones..........lol

[@rayc4423]

Would love to see a video where you go over things like best brings in each category you specialize in. Ex: Revereware for pots and pans, X brand name for golf stuff, Y brand for toys etc. I’m slowly learning from watching but to have it all compiled into one video would be super informative

[@biblebeltpickers]

I had no idea your inventory space was that huge! I always like seeing the behind the scenes stuff!

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

Always great ! Thank you ✌️😊

[@tracydempsey6283]

Thank you for giving perspective on the reality of your purchases and inventory. It truly helps me understand what I am getting into as a new reseller. I like your statement "this is not an ATM machine". Again, gives me perspective. Keep on keeping on.

[@derekstine937]

nice set up with your inventory

Loved the footage of your basement, how everything is in tubs and tagged. Great ideas as always.

[@rn4vetsny304]

Thanks for sharing with us the “Deal Dungeon”!!!!! I always wondered how you kept everything stored…….now I wonder no more!!!

[@dianarea1808]

Really enjoy the takes between sales. Like hearing your thinking process.

[@cabinvibesebaystore8956]

Thank you 😲👍🔥

[@djflipping6506]

I am jealous of how organized you are on inventory. Mine, a ffing mess. Lose stuff from time to time. Glad you had a longer video this time. Great vid as always!!

[@vcadoree193]

I just love watching you. You are so calm and relaxing. You also make some great finds.

[@propicker]

Thank you!

[@tonyat8663]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it’s great to go picking with you. Also, I loved seeing your basement. It is encouraging and gives me some ideas!! I would love to see your processing room too.

[@junkinwithjoseph1946]

Awesome setup in the basement. At the 20 minute mark or so I would have checked the yarn in the bin. There was alot of the same color. I like the vintage yarn personally. I have sold quite a bit of certain brands.

[@pennysmarsh1865]

Thats very cool that some money goes to charity at that yard sale great video as always😊

[@karenharvey7197]

Your inventory looks like you are deeply invested in this business. This would be my dream job but it didn't exist when I was young enough to get a good start. I'm retired now and just don't have the energy. I do sell on a smaller basis cause I just love buying stuff and don't want to keep it. Love your videos.

[@propicker]

Thanks for watching, Karen! That's great that you have a small resale business in retirement.

[@danielpogodin4852]

Hi Dustin! Been a fan of you and your channel for over a year now. I wanted to ask if you would consider making a video on teaching us how you document your taxes for reselling as well as share the platforms you use for that? If you read this I greatly appreciate it! Keep it up with the awesome content!

[@propicker]

We use a CPA for our taxes. I appreciate you watching!

[@danielpogodin4852]

@@propicker Thank you!

[@Momo-jc9yo]

Nice score on the auto stuff!

[@zelmabyrn2115]

Nice fines Dustin at the community garage sales. I must say you have been walking a bit more for exercise and it shows good for you! Your basement is a very good size, awesome organization on your inventory!

[@arenavisionTV]

The advice at the end of the video was spot on!

[@heroftime871]

Those strategy guides looked like they were in great condition, I would’ve been stoked to find them! I always get super excited to find video games at any sales or thrift stores

[@propicker]

Yeah, it's typically my favorite thing to find too!

[@Katherine-cf7rj]

What a great video!

[@sarahkelpin6745]

Love this! I've always loved garage sales but never thought about reselling. Gives a good idea of what to keep an eye out for.

Wow, Galloping Gourmet, what a flash back for me. You found some great items this trip

Happy memorial weekend Dustin

[@propicker]

You too, John!

[@chipwent2867]

Love your videos. Enjoyed seeing your inventory space! I am so frugal that I use banana boxes for storing my items - and our sons recently moved out so their closets are stuffed with clothing I have listed!

[@rustybucket6014]

Super nice storage set up! Makes me want to make mine nice

[@gggg-vg4vj]

love your videos, you know where the bargains are

[@finkstudios]

Today's epic Pro Picker Moment- when you correct the lady on the proper star wars lure about the dark saber. Haha

[@richardt1792]

On those collectibles like Barbies, they usually sell for $75 and up so you'd assume there is money there but the collector market is fickle. I came up on two tall carts of Dept 56 Christmas Village buildings, not more than $15 each, all new. I thought I had hit a Goodwill Goldmine. I loaded my cart then started looking them up. They were basically selling for about $20 each on eBay. I put them all back.

[@bigdawgaustindareseller9317]

nice on the pan, You Break It You Buy It! lol

[@pennysmarsh1865]

Happy memorial day everyone❤

[@sharlynebeach2786]

Enjoyed the yard sales ! In looking at your storage area at the end, you've got things very organized, but it's like I already knew you had great organizational skills for some reason ! Also, liked that lake (?) you stopped at.

[@propicker]

I believe it's considered a pond that is fed by the river next to it.

[@cynthiaarbuckle1648]

Too bad those beyer horses were taken 😟but other great finds, I haven't found aclad yet on the wild... sstill looking 👀did find lemax Christmas villages last weekend🥳 have a great weekend 💞

[@nishanalee4328]

@15:10 You missed the Living Air Purifier Breeze Ozone Ionizer on the table and under the table the Back2Life Continuous Motion Massager. When buying the ozone ionizers, plug them in and smell for the ionized air. If you do not smell that, it will need cleaning or glass plate replacements. Learn about them before you buy them.

[@joshthompson2184]

Rich areas are so hit or miss for me. Sometimes you'll find some good deals cause they're trying to get rid of stuff but sometimes the stuff is way over priced for reselling cause it's all really nice stuff and paying $20 for an item is cheap to a rich person

[@jeanettaervin9983]

Hello 🤗

[@futurefun1257]

Could you make a video on how to identify and look up comps for pots and pans. I never stop and look at them when I’m out sourcing because I don’t know anything about them. Thank you. I enjoy your videos.

[@propicker]

I'll consider it! Thanks for watching!

[@juanitagruss300]

my grandson who is four years old was on you tube I heard your voice looked over at the phone and he was watching your channel I guess the apple dont fall far from the tree

[@propicker]

Oh, that's neat! Tell him I said hi!

[@10jmarsh]

I sold Theif 2 in the box for $125. BOLO!

[@propicker]

Yeah, I've sold a boxed copy of 1 and of 2 before. Also, deus ex. Unfortunately, the ones in this video were boxed ☹

[@Sillysoft]

Saw a yard sale ad today where they had a sega dreamcast and a lot of cool games and accessories. I messaged them and they said it was all available, when I asked how much they told me to come take a look. So I went there and everything I wanted was gone, the wife came and said honey, I sold all that yesterday. DANG IT! That ever happen to you?

[@propicker]

Yeah, definetly. The same sale with the horses the rest of her family were buying wii and ps2 stuff. Can't buy it all and still managed to buy a lot of other good stuff that day.

[@Sillysoft]

the price is wrong... beotch!! lol Love Happy Gilmore...

[@gamingmaniac2211]

Im just starting in reselling on ebay. I was wondering if you could do video on how you ship and the costs. Thanks

[@cabinvibesebaystore8956]

New sub ! Liked 😲😊🤩🤩

[@joelowens5211]

This trend is likely to cool off in the future. Too many people doing it. The public buying junk like this from refi or sale of their house going to rent and keep the money. As the public buys cars, takes vacations, and lives above their means the money will start to run out and house values will stabilize. With higher interest rates most will no longer be able to refi out of their inflation and cash flow problems. There is already an uptick of mortgage defaults and foreclosures coming just like it did over a decade ago in the last downcycle. As money dries up for the public masses they will buy less dopamine fodder junk to use for a short term and will focus on gas, food, roof over head to survive. As the resell market saturates yields will come down. People will still likely pay a premium for hard to find vintage stuff. America public in general stays poor buying items at 1.00 and reselling for 10 cents later on. It's almost a guaranteed way to stay poor. Resellers with very deep pockets that can hold for cycles can buy vintage items for cheap and then have value go up much more over time. Lots of these resellers make way more off of their channels than the business model itself.

[@propicker]

Certainly, there are some rough economic indicators out there. However, the default rate isn't anywhere near 2007 and 2008 levels. Also, foreclosures really only make sense when a home owner is trapped and upside down. Most home owners could just sell right now if they couldn't make their payment and around half of them would walk away with a check. Inventory of homes is still low. Even with rising rates. As long as the rate is lower than the inflation rate, your mortgage is still a good deal. In fact, your principal residence is probably the best inflation hedge you can own. If we go into a recession those who deal in alternate / used goods should be able to weather the storm. Those who do not and are able to pivot will be fine. Reselling isn't just a trend. Those who execute their business effectively will be able to continue making a living. Even in times of hardship. Disclaimer: None of this is financial advice. This only reflects my personal opinion.

[@williamcochell9889]

Hey Dustin, enjoy your posts! Add that last Sale did you notice the boots?

[@propicker]

I saw the boots. I forget why I passed on them.

[@Sillysoft]

Speaking of custom skews for your totes, I been thinking of building a custom one using QR Codes. So you can take your phone and scan it and see whats all inside the tote. The question is, would that help or not? Testing it out would determine I guess.

[@propicker]

That would be interesting. I have no clue how to implement something like that. I would be interested to know how that works out for you.

[@nickschade9245]

When will you be putting The gaming manuals in your eBay store

[@propicker]

Hey Nick, probably today or tomorrow.

[@propicker]

Just letting you know they are all posted now.

[@katherineleon794]

How did you guys do at your Flea market sale or have you done it yet ?

[@propicker]

We did well. We both recorded hours and hours of footage though, so that edit will have to wait until I have some extra time 😅

[@Tony99905]

How did you make your golf club rack like you see at the thrift stores?

[@propicker]

We had the shelf from before and just had totes in it. So we pulled the totes out and just stuck clubs in it.

[@shusho0520]

at 15:10 blue and white item under the table you missed was easy money

[@deztroyer76]

Yep. Back2Life massager. Easy $100 minimum.

[@cathymcclanahan7901]

Are you going to the 400 mile yard sale on June 2_5 in Paducah KY?, great deals k

[@propicker]

I probably have other plans for that weekend.

[@muggysmiles]

how do you find sell through rate? great video I just subbed 😁

[@propicker]

it's how many listed versus how many are sold (over 90 days). So, 100 listed and 100 Sold would be a 100 percent sell through rate for an item on ebay. Thanks for subscribing! Glad you found the channel!

[@WSFM_Rex]

That dudes hilarious

[@LZantho]

So early 360p is still the only option! hahaha

[@jkhoover]

Come on. You've got to work on your clickbait. "Almost Killed At A Garage Sale" would have been perfect for this vid, after watching the golf club encounter.

[@edwardsawtell5712]

HaHa! I was watching that part while reading the comment!

[@rayparamio4025]

lol but dont worry about the clickbait title because his channel name is already clickbait. good finds and more items to add to your inventory.

[@9babyeinstein]

Never mind

[@christoguichard4311]

Im curious Dustin...pots and pans seem to be very popular with resellers both here in the U.K...and there in the U.S. Without wishing to sound...indelicate... WHO buys someones greasy old frying pan??? 😕 Is it profesional chefs who are buying them? Is it only vintage pots and pans which sell?

[@propicker]

Hopefully by the time someone lists them they are not greasy 😅. But in all seriousness, people buy them because they don't make them anymore or if it's high end they will buy it to save money from buying new.

[@chappy675]

I think the same thing about shoes!! I can’t believe how big used, and sometimes really worn, shoes are on eBay!! It grosses me out to think about buying used shoes!! To me that is somewhat akin to buying used underwear!!

@@propicker It's not remotely click bait and feel free to criticize it. Have a great weekend. [EDIT : I didn't proof read and just noticed I omitted the "I" immediately before "feel free to criticize it" (referring to click bait when I see it.) have a great holiday everyone!

[@edwardsawtell5712]

I think someone else was just joking around. Dustin is honest.

[@propicker]

@@edwardsawtell5712 oh ok, must have been a reply to the golf club thing. I was confused. Because, I've click baited somewhat in the past and this wasn't it 😅

[@edwardsawtell5712]

It was a comment made by “Jon Kane Hoover”. I’m sure it was a joke. I have found that you can’t joke anymore on social media, even KZbin.

[@ourtradingcards]

Dude, you place way too much weight on comps... Which tells me you have you little knowledge on how fluid markets actually work...

[@propicker]

Bro, comps are just a quick way to make an assessment of an item and provide context quickly to viewers. Sometimes, I get more or less than the comps shown on the screen.

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

Always great ! Thank you ✌️🤩
