my best yard sale find was in 2015 at a community sale. walked up on a random house FULL of vintage computer graphics software (SiliconGraphics). Turns out the guy was a former SGI Employee. he had HUNDREDS of software discs for Silicon Graphics sitting out. He also had BOXES of old random hardware and old macintosh stuff. I was barely looking thru it when he said "For $10, you can have it ALL". i was taken off guard and since i was driving an old pickup truck with an empty bed, i said sure. I loaded a 6ft bed FULL of software and macintosh stuff. Within the first two weeks i had sold around 10% of the software for around $1,500, and 40% of the hardware for around $2,500. I still have a ton of it years and years later but i think i've made over $10,000 in profit. Crazy. Thats the kind of stuff that gets me up in the morning.

Seen something years ago on yard sales and estate sales. One guy said he went by them also when they were over on garbage day, one would be surprised at what gets thrown away. The stuff that is thrown away by people and businesses is amazing. Rarely do I step foot into a store needing to buy something.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

im the same way - i usually find all my stuff at thrift stores or yard sales for myself

[@petercortez1142]

There are people that go by and buy all of what is left from an estate sale. They play a really cheap price but save those from holding the estate sale from picking things up afterwards. That's why estate sales don't really go down in price on things on last day.

[@allens6849]

When you find items that use standard, Heavy Duty, Alkaline, Carbon Base types of Batteries and find the batteries have leaked, leaving a green colored corrosion on the contacts in the battery compartment, you can try doing this to clean the corrosion off. Take Sodium Bicarbonate, (Baking Soda) and place it on the green corroded areas, I just sprinkle the Baking Soda on the corrosion, but the Baking Soda does not stick on the corrosion, and most of it ends up in the battery compartment where there is no corrosion. I have not tried doing this, you could try making a paste of Baking Soda and water to make it easier for getting it on the corroded areas, use only a small amount of water to make a drier type of paste. After applying the paste on the areas to be cleaned, get a toothbrush, maybe get ones with different bristles, soft, medium, stiff or even try to use a small toothbrush type Brass wire brush, dip the brush in white vinegar, then brush the corroded areas to remove the green corrosion. Baking Soda will neutralize the battery acid, the vinegar is acidic and cause the Baking Soda to react with the vinegar's acid, it will bubble and fizzle, this will neutralize the residue, leaked battery acid in difficult areas to get at and help to loosen the present acid corrosion, use brush'(s) to remove the battery acid corrosion. When the bubbling reaction stops, dip the brush in more vinegar and keep working to remove all the corrosion, add more paste mixture as needed, repeat as necessary. If you use a brass brush, it may work better to remove the more severe corrosion areas easier, if necessary, use a small flat-bladed screwdriver, knife or razor blade to scrape off any really difficult corrosion. Try, not to remove the bright colored plating on the, (+), (positive) & (-), (negative) contacts, the plating is for corrosion resistance, so removing it will take the protection from future corrosion away. After you get the corrosion removed and all cleaned up, make sure to clean the vinegar off, the acid in it could cause more corrosion, wipe it off with paper towels and/or cotton Q-tips, then use the Denatured Alcohol saturated Q-tips to clean the contact areas. One last suggestion, look at the wires soldered onto the (+/-), contacts, make sure the wire is attached, not broken/corroded off, clean any corrosion if present. Also, an FYI, the corrosion can get on the wire under the outer vinyl/plastic wire cover, and not be visible. I have used this method many times and it has worked well on removing/cleaning the battery acid and corrosion, the Baking Soda will neutralize the leaked acid and help to keep the acid from causing more damage after removing corrosion it had already caused. I hope this will help you out and something you remember and use in the future, I don't believe, just using Denatured Alcohol will neutralize the residue battery acid left, if it is not all cleaned out, I would rather neutralize the acid as an added safeguard against reappearing corrosion in a short time.

As you may have figured out by looking at your post, if you put a dash immediately before and immediately after any typing, it appears with a line through whatever is between the dashes. You can edit your original comment using the three dots to the right of your name. I suggest you edit your original comment for clarity, by removing the dashes or by moving them a space or two away - like this - so that the line through the words does not happen. When you enter it with the dashes right next to the text -like this- it puts the line through.

A piece of advice to all. When shopping for used electronics, bring with you a battery bank with a regular plug outlet inverter so you can plug in to it any old electrical gadget or appliance to test if it works before buying it. ;)

[@sammyhooligan803]

Yes, absolutely. Sometimes the sellers only say, yes it works and that you can't test out in their house outlet or it's out in a flea market type setting, away from any outlets. And excellent idea, take your own power bank.

Just want to tell you I really enjoy your videos (especially Yard Sale ones) Our Goodwill here is higher than a department store...

The back of the Harley t-shirt tags and one of the sweatpants have the Holoubek logo. Holoubek was a Milwaukee area company that held one of the three Harley apparel licenses. Holoubek artists created the front print and back print designs (eagle with the hat) and the company produced the t-shirts in-house. Holoubek was sold to VF Imagewear in January 2005 and ceased to exist, so anything from Holoubek is from 2005 at the oldest. The tag in the darker grey pair of sweatpants with the HD script logo has a different style of tag. Tags with the eagle are from Harley-Davidson Motorclothes. I'm friends with a former Holoubek artist who did the design on the light grey sweatpants you have there.

I was cleaning out an old barn that belonged to the company I worked for a few years ago, when I stumbled across a full case of very old Coke Glasses! The glass was very thick, very heavy and I am certain they came from an old restaurant, because there were so many of them (there was actually five cases of them) that were all grouped together! The problem was three of the other cases had got crushed and broken when part of the barn fell on them! The other case was damaged by the glasses looked fine, but they were harder to dig out, and the case I had, was the only case not destroyed or damaged in anyway, so that was the case I took home (I was told to throw them out by the way)!! I cleaned the glasses up and put them on Craig's List with a Coca Cola cooler I'd also found in the same pile, and for four months nobody was even interested in them!! Eventually I tossed them in the trash, because I was just tired of holding on to them!!

First time seeing your channel. Regarding that beer/Whiskey drinking game. Instead of buying batteries which is excessively expensive. See if you have a 120 V wall adapter that you can splice in. Whenever I go to garage sales I always pick up these wall warts for $.25 apiece. There’s always a reason to have a dedicated 3 V, 5 V, 6 V, 9v,12 V adapters hardwired in or for more effort a quick disconnect plug.

The Jack Daniel's item looks like a sign the beverage distributor provided to liquor stores/bars. I'll bet if you get it powered up the screen will show an advertisement with details on the different types of whiskey with the aim of helping customers decide which bottle to buy (or shot to order). My parents owned a tavern and had a lot of signs provided by the distributors, if they work they can go for a lot of dough as the "home barroom" culture continues to grow and JD is a popular brand. You have a very good eye for cool old stuff 🙂

[@DM-ec5yc]

@@beardedthriftmachine I was going to add my 7 cents worth, as well. If you read the top portion of the sign, "Experience Whiskey the American Way" and add to it the JD, the Gentleman Jack, and the Old Forester. Since all three are listed and pictured, it is not a push towards one technique or process but more of a "Made in America, Buy American" stand. A gentle nudge to stay away from Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey and a VERY subtle way to say keep away from Canadian whisky. Canada and Ireland produce whisky while Scotland and USA produce whiskey. JD and GJ are both Tennessee Sour Mash whiskies while Old Forester is a Bourbon Whiskey.

Can't beat that!!!!! You really don't know what you're going to find I love it!!

[@dreamusdreamus557]

I really like that thing beside the box!

[@dreamusdreamus557]

You know what I’m talking about!?

Little binoculars are referred to as "Opera Glasses" they are about 2.5 magnification usually.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

thank you so much for that info and for watching!

[@MsLou-su5pj]

I think some of those spoons are Nickel Silver. You got some good deals for the money. I used to be in the business. Always great fun looking for a treasure.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

thank you for the info =) yes looking for treasure is my favorite =)

[@josephstrubhar8697]

The spoons that are heavily scored or bent are pure silver!

[@MsLou-su5pj]

@@josephstrubhar8697 , You could be right about the spoons being pure silver. I certainly have been wrong before,especially not having them in my hands to examine closely. From the video they looked a lot like nickel silver, even better for the dealer if they are pure silver. The years I was in the business I found it a treasure to find unusual flatware and serving pieces even in Nickel Silver. Thanks for your input.

We lived in a small town, and we used to sell at the flea market. There was this one dealer (professional seller) who would go around to yard sales and give sob stories of how her daughter had just escaped from an abusive man, and needed that microwave. Could the seller drop the price from $15 to $3? It's REALLY all she had with her. Used to make mom so mad - she'd go up and ask, "Well, Mabel, did you have three microwaves in your booth at the flea market last week?" Tears would immediately dry up, and she'd stomp off muttering to herself. It made her SO mad! She was a proto-Karen.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

Oh geez! Yea thats terrible! Wheeling and dealing is one thing- lying is another

[@dracoparanormal2403]

She is a crook. Glad your mom called her out on her lies

[@debrabrungardt6366]

I detest people like that! But we have a gal in town who shows up at auctions & loudly greets different people. Oh Hi Sally you gonna bid on all the Pyrex? Oh Carl they got Vaseline Marbles, you gonna out bid everybody on those again, they should just let you buy them so you can leave & everybody can get on with their day. I’m telling you we all just wanna ring her neck! AND she hardly ever bids on things!

[@bradbonnema5979]

Check with local liquor stores on the whiskey experience. They usually have contacts on the wholesale side that might know about it.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

great idea! thank you so much for watching!

[@cas-cos]

They have nicer stuff then they ever have here. We just have a lot of baby clothes, bad hobby lobby decor, and broken sporting goods.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

we have some great sales around here

[@edgecitytraders5498]

Just now watching this one. That lady is adorable.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

she was awesome! =)

[@jopieparker1735]

last thing looks like something that would be on a display table at a convention or on a store shelf to help promote. like Toys R Us used to have little display videos that would play a video or 2

[@beardedthriftmachine]

i agree

HD sweatpants tag looks like it’s early 2000’s to midd. That’s when I was buying lots. I was riding and now my bike is just a sittin!

FYI.... Coca Cola stuff is as collectable as H.D. and Disney.... unless it's something poorly made (pretty rare for C.C.) it is ALWAYS worth buying at a garage sale (like everything, if the price is really low). Also, you can always Google the item with your phone to see it's worth....

[@beardedthriftmachine]

Very true

[@MrAllan9]

Silver spoons, forks etc will have a makers hallmark like "ss "(Stirling silver), 925 stamped is silver. " epsn " (electic plated silver over nickle) or or an eps stamps are just plated.

So funny, I was just sitting here browsing KZbin videos and clicked on yours. I was thinking how much I miss “tag sales” in CT. I just posted on Facebook where do they have yard sales in SC as they’re rare in my area. Then I hear you say you’re near Myrtle Beach! I’m about 50-60 miles inland. Can you post a video of your favorite areas in the SC/NC area? Thank you!

[@beardedthriftmachine]

I usually stay in the Myrtle beach area for the yard sales - carolina forest usually has a ton because there are so many houses over there.

[@MyLooneyBin]

Nice. Pulled in some solid items. That lady was selling stuff

[@beardedthriftmachine]

Yea she was. She kept handing me stuff and I was like sure ill take it. thanks so much for watching!

[@FluffyButtFarms]

I would have tried to buy every piece of Coca-Cola merchandise they had there. Also seen you set a sign aside when you picked up that pop crate, them old signs some of them are worth a fortune.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

yea looking back i should have bought a little more for sure =)

It is heartbreaking to see a life reduced to junk. This person could have been a good friend.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

I'm confused. Please explain and thanks so much for watching

[@allialias]

@@beardedthriftmachine All the things here were someone's Treasures. Objects gathered to create comfort or happiness or feelings of safety during a short, unpredictable lifetime. We call it "junk" to designate it is unimportant or not useful. These are Treasures that become unwanted when their owner dies. Many objects here are owned by many of us already and we are shown the future of our lifetime efforts in vids like this. Thank you for being a kind person. You seem very nice even through the sadness of personal loss these videos remind us we are all going toward.

Sometimes a video game CASE and manual can be worth more than the game inside. There's soooo many loose games oit there, packaging can be valuable

[@beardedthriftmachine]

That is very very true I did sell Sam's pokemon cases and manuals before

she was awesome - i got to meet her again a year later at another yard sale

[@lostworldvideogames]

Hold up a light behind the cartridge and see if it turns purple (as in the cartridge itself is purple color). If you cannot see through it, that will be fake. More checks can be done but the light behind makes for an easy first check.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

Thank you so much for that information - i did it and you can see through it to the inside. =) thank you!

bar code tag on Coke trays-NOT vintage even lol, utensils are plated silver, the cookie press is cool ( indented spoon), they drink sign says press for more INFO so a promo gadget in a liquer store or bar, I doubt the coke clock is NEON, but colored fluorescent tubes, battery op is a good clue.

Thanks for the comment 😀

I loved the Sorrell jacket
