[@patyeaman]

If there were awards for reselling videos this one would be the winner! Great job, fun and so helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@madolyncross8266]

I was a reseller from 2000 to 2022 a few things I had awesome returns on. Vintage toys (Polly Pocket, GI Joe, Barbie, Fisher Price, etc.) Women's sports yoga wear, bras (new and used), vintage swimwear for men and women, Speedos for men and women, vintage or homemade blankets (without damage, stains, smells), purses, belts, ties, vintage cookware, vintage figurines, hats, dog/cat accessories, etc... Good video thanks for sharing.

[@DanielJacobs-t8q]

One of the best resale videos ever even better than commonwealth picker you two are my favorite

[@sorronmies]

I used to build some models as a kid (like 40 years ago) and I remember that not all boxes were sealed as new either. Especially name Tamiya comes to my mind when thinking it. So older model kits may be brand new even the box is not sealed.

[@CarlClassenX]

Thanks for the tip!

[@HTXVintageVibes]

Shhhh! Don’t talk about the books! That’s 60-70% of my sales lately But seriously: knives, gun, sporting , hunting, old manuals/ instructions, historical, law dictionary, coffee table size large print limited books (see “big red book by GG jung” stuff like this is what to look for. Good primer for people to look deeper. Started with video games. 9 years later it’s 5-10% of my sales and doing full time for my wife and myself. Learned a lot from you guys but being out there and doing the research is the best way.

[@Sully19641964]

I had never found cutco till I was recently at a town wide garage sale. A house had a small free pile that I spotted, my wife even says why are you wasting your time on that, I get out and behind a box hidden from the road is a knife block with two pearl handled cutco steak knives. For some reason even at garage sales some of the most profitable items I find are in the free pile.

Long story short when you showed the Olympia typewriter in a prior video it reminded me of mine from 1964 that parents gave me in second year of high school. I still have it. It was last used by my son 20 years ago to fill out a job application. I would never sell it (someone might find it some day at an estate sale). The funny thing was that very weekend of your video I found the same Olympia typewriter on last day of three day yard sale reduced to $5. It as nice as mine and yours sold one except it has a 13 inch carriage and case is much bigger and heavier. I’m still researching it and figuring out how to ship it. Thank you for all your helpful information.

[@stonycreekpicker1385]

Great topic today, guys! My best sale ever was a book. It was an atlas from 1953. I paid 10 cents for it at a thrift store, and it sold for $100 dollars on eBay!

[@kathybarnett1905]

CANDACE!!!! THATS A FABULOUS PICTURE!!!

[@shedflips]

Now wait a second, I took the picture! iPhone on portrait mode, used the light stand on the left and turned the lightbox to provide some fill on the right. Model might have something to do with it too lol. -Lonnie

[@susanb3530]

And don’t forget to be sure your pair of boots are the same size or else, selling one boot is a pain. Yup, I’ve been paying attention. 😊😂

[@hollisteimel3824]

Lol I grabbed two pairs of new shoes from goodwill. 1 pair were different sizes. The other were 2 right feet 😂😂

[@shedflips]

TRUE

[@donin99]

Congrats Candice on your first clickbait thumbnail

[@maeganfarrell]

😂😂😂

[@cayden755]

I was thinking the same thing 😂😂

[@joesalinas5956]

I normally don’t click on those “type” of thumbnails. But, I’m a big fan of Shed Flips.

[@TheOldRaven]

Rule #1 - scan the garage sale as you walk up to see what to head to first Rule #2 - take time to park your car in a way that lets you exit easily

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

#1: Back in to the driveway and up to the tables like you own the place. #2: Profit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bd2864]

Rule number one of garage sale club: do not talk about garage sales.

[@madolyncross8266]

Always try and bundle and make a lower offer, all they can say is no or counter offer.

[@JanetCary]

Great video. Some good reminders and new knowledge as well. I would never have known to look at Bibles if it had not been for Lonnie's advice. I have made hundreds of dollars on vintage and specialty Bibles. I will start taking a closer look at magazines now. Thanks for sharing.

[@joycematlock7854]

A really great video! I liked that they were your sales!

[@BorrowBuddy]

This is my favorite video you've made!!! Love it. Love the thumbnail!!!

[@AngelaLucas-co4rl]

Thanks for sharing this. I have learned so much from both of you

[@daviddarnall2367]

I had a dream I came to your shed and spent time with you two. Maybe I’m watching too many of your videos😂.

[@bd2864]

It wasn’t a dream.

[@kristirose2289]

I learn so much from y’all! My best luck so far has been with the cookbooks that I look at now at every sale.

[@johnconti1087]

Been watching your videos for years. You two have become the king and queen of sourcing. Really impressed to see how your average margins have increased over time.

[@flipistics4270]

For toner, you also want to make sure it's retail packaging. Some of the companies have subscription programs, and the user is technically renting the toner cartridge. You will almost certainly get a VERO hit if you try to sell that. For ink, you should always include the expiration date in the title (for the brands where the ink expires).

[@GerryPicker]

I did not start my reselling journey selling books, but now it's my #1 selling category. So much fun hunting for the books 📚

[@cml12150]

Thanks a lot Lonnie and Candice!!I appreciate the video!!

[@TheAgelessReseller2024]

Thanks for this really helpful video. I personally love wood items.

[@dragnsflight]

Fantsastic! Thanks for the ideas and help finding unknown items. Great show!

[@Panzer-xi5uj]

Nice one Lonnie & Candice some great items 👍😊

[@mg2023faith]

Extremely helpful! You really have the inside track! Thank you for your wonderful videos. BTW what made you think of painting the interior of the shed GREEN? I know it's your logo color...just chomping at the thought that there might be an interesting backstory there. You both are great.

[@thewayidoit8895]

I live about an hour from CUTCO here in Western NY. We don-t see a lot either. New knives are always sold at county fairs though. What is hot are the Cattraugus vintage pocket knives made here in Little Valley NY.

[@deettetripp9227]

Great Video!! Very interesting Hope you got a Heat Break because it is Freezing here in Ohio 59 degrees

[@GingerTaylor-y1p]

Wow!! The K&B basket brought back some memories. I worked at the one on Sherwood Forest when I was 18.

[@shedflips]

oh cool! We went to the one on Greenwell Springs Rd all the time back in the 70's and 80's

[@tinawiththelakeexchange2093]

Carhartt clothing, Kuhl, many great clothing brands sell!

[@beowulfcollectables]

So glad you made this video, super fun and interesting 😏

[@LeMongolist]

Hello, what? Am I dreaming? You didn’t mention the 40 cent Italian books! Thanks for the videos:) Coucou, quoi ? Je rêve ? Vous n'avez pas parlé des livres sur la cuisine italienne à 40 centimes ! Merci pour les vidéos :)

[@hollisteimel3824]

Great tips! Thank-you

[@vernise1969.]

Lol non fiction dude stuff!! Too funny! Newbie seller from BC, Canada here thanks for the advice you give!

[@kirstenscholz4482]

[@AmyAdams-es1tt]

Thank you for the information!

[@kellybeck4226]

fantastic video appreciate the info

[@tboytboytboy]

Love it! Very informative, thank you!

[@tomdodge5198]

Nicely done

[@stephaniesharp6223]

Do you have a video of how you pack the typewriters?

[@blarsblarson8605]

I suspect it is only a reduction of the discount Ebay and Pirate Ship (etc) get, so it is not an increase that affects retail postal customers, only 99% of packages sent.

[@danoloparx255]

a great video. Thanks'

[@michellem6136]

HP ink is a Vero fyi. Mine was taken down by Ebay

[@belindabrown3672]

Good video 🎉

[@warrenvanbuskirk1337]

Composit baseball bats are a good type of bat to look for. The right ones go for 100$ +

[@kibble-net]

Motley Crue shirts are the real BOLO

[@jeanineruggeri4573]

It’s very hard to see your snapshots of an item. Didn’t happen before. Maybe the big red showing the price??

[@JEWELInTheCrown-si5rs]

Thanks for sharing

[@AndersonCecilia-v3g]

Labadie Cove

[@GerryPicker]

Great video 👏👏

[@melissabiggs8468]

Good info

[@WorkloadWithdrawal]

Lonnie i recall you had a prob with your back or shoulder. What kind of pain relief were you given and do you still take it? I know weird question but i got pain (and a big memory!)

[@shedflips]

They gave me tramadol and some muscle relaxers. I took them for a few days and my shoulder got back to normal. It's weird, sometimes it will lock up and I can't move it at all. Then for very long stretches it is normal. I hope you feel beter soon.

[@stevenstevepf7727]

You mention early in the video that you can look at two years worth of your ebay sales history. Only 90 days worth shows up in Selling Manager - how do you get two years worth?

[@shedflips]

Go to Orders, then from the drop down for period, choose "custom". Set the start date for 2 years back. That's the max it will let you go. You will see all of the sales but you will lose sorting capability.

[@AbbyAvocado77]

Hi. I went to buy a Jadens label maker through your link and the website is not fully in English. There is no way for me to shop because there is not fully English translation on the product pages. Any chance you can update the link? Thanks

[@shedflips]

I updated the link, it was cutoff. There are still some areas of their page with Chinese character on it.

[@speckman131]

Do people actually have trouble finding inventory? Thats the easiest part of reselling 😂

[@HTXVintageVibes]

R/flipping on Reddit is filled with people complaining about not finding the inventory they look for/ want. This would be a good video for people who stick to a niche.

[@shedflips]

When I started I had no clue what to buy, so I'm sure there are plenty of people looking for ideas.

[@deec4963]

I had a 12 piece set of Cello Oneida flatware with all the serving pieces. I gave them to my son when he moved out. Since finding out they have some value I offered my son to sell them and split the profit. He said No because “ he has to eat”. Can you put a 33 year old up for adoption? 😂

[@Vintagerous]

😂 thanks for the chuckle! Too funny!

[@michaelking550]

Old Mac world ,Mac addict Magazine's go for decent money...

[@elizabethwormuth316]

[@AdamEstep-p7z]
