RISKING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON VINTAGE TOYS

[@beyondtheflame77]

Have you ever thought about doing follow-up videos? Something where you maybe go over some of the riskier purchases you've made in previous videos (like the dolls in this one) and tell us how you actually came out on the deal once you managed to sell it?

[@jwwj30]

beyondtheflame77, that's what I want too. Like 6 months from now, Anthony could make a video about the items he bought today. He's great at editing & splicing in tidbits, he could have a 15 second recap of the dolls, GI Joe, etc. he bought & then go to the actual sales. I'd be very interested in the financial side of the business. I understand his need for privacy, so it probably won't happen. I dabble somewhat here in San Diego & it's time very consuming, but once in awhile you do hit that grand slam.

[@torjohanstokke5861]

Agreed

[@portofstillwater5698]

I continue to love how respectful you are to everyone…. Great buys….

[@susanedwards9473]

Good buy on the barbies. I was in the fourth grade and a friend got the skipper doll that year for Christmas. She was so proud of that doll. Those dolls were not played with much if any!

[@robinw.darnell4269]

I met Roy years ago at the Atlanta Airport. He was a CMH recipient. He spoke around the country and was a much decorated war hero.

[@tohono]

The average is definitely the way to look at things. I usually take the full days receipts and just work toward covering that. Once it is covered, what is left is profit. You can't kick yourself for the bad buys or nitpick the uncertainties. I do concur with the above comments. It would be cool to hear how you came out on some of the riskier buys. Of course, being 2 years ago, maybe you have covered that by now. I've only watched a couple of dozen of the frogfests.

[@garypeterson4483]

I found a very thin book on the book shelf at an estate sale. I thought it was covered in vellom, but never saw vellom before, it just looked really old. It unpriced so I asked the owner of the Estate sale company snd got it for 10 dollars. On closer inspection, it was printed in 1604. Encloased in it was a hand made envelope. The envelope contained a document hand-written in old German long hand. I know enough German and history that I believe it to be a contract between King George 111 and Frederick the Great for Prussia to provide England with Hessian troops for the Revolutionary War and for their war with France. I determined his by the dates, the word contract, and the royal seal. the book had a beautiful drawing f a battle in a harbor on the last page. the book was written in old Latin. Took it the the Antique road show. they determined the book was worth 2500 to 3500, had no clue about the contract. Took the book to our antique mall space and pute a price of 1500 on it and sold it the first day for 1000. I still have the contract. could have held out for more, but getting 1000 for a 10 dollar investment was pretty good. I always go foe boxes of ephemera too. Happy finds in them too.

[@jayz6706]

You really should’ve held on to that book a little while longer. At least to gauge some interest with it because letting it go on the first day for 2/3 of the listing price was a big mistake.

[@dontworryboutitsweetheart4454]

Any update on the contract?

[@video2000_TV]

you just can't sell something like this immediately, this could've set up your family for generations along with the letter

[@SK-ki1te]

Wow! With all the hype about the two dolls, I REALLY think you’ll owe us faithful followers an update on their sale!!!

[@sarahwaters8262]

We luck out here with Estate Sales. Elderly people tend to price things cheap like they did at the garage sales they always used to have- 5¢, 10¢, etc. It's a hoot. (Unless of course it's their kids having the estate sale and they are sentimental about the items, then they do price high.) Now off to watch the rest. 💗🐸

[@FroggyFlips]

It’s similar here…just kinda depends if it is being run by a company or the family. Thanks for watching!

[@resellerrunner5149]

I agree about estate sales. Here in NW Indiana they tend to overprice everything, and people line up 2-3 hrs AHEAD of the opening. I tend to stick with yard sales and thrift stores because of it. NIce work as usual Anthony!

[@johannadam3183]

not always families usually list things cheap. only the dealers price high

[@coobay4786]

As always very entertaining 👍

[@80sutopia68]

Awesome buy! The market on G.I.Joe is phenomenal! Most all retro games that are sealed will flip! The frog hat is cool! Love the comics! Good Job! Thanks!

[@SamtheHiker]

Hey Anthony! Super nice to meet you out in the wild. I figured I would eventually. I have been reselling for a year now and have learned so much from you and other on youtube. Its the best job Ive ever had! I loved the nice shout out on the video too! I know Kevin would be proud of you on this haul. I should have body slammed you "cabbage patch style" to get that sealed Field of Dreams!!! But you were too damn nice! @commonwealthpicker aint wrong about those VHS! Even watching this video, I learned some new things! I greatly appreciate that!! See ya on the hunt!

[@FroggyFlips]

Hahaha! So nice to meet ya, man. I’m so glad I got your reaction on that Atari system…I was so close to buying it and that literally talked me out of it. I would’ve hated myself 😂. Cheers buddy!

[@deoxymeth]

Froggy, I have a friend who’s father has an entire collection of original GI joes from the 1980s, im talking a huge collection of vintage figures with all their equipment and gear. I can’t remember if he has any sealed ones but he has like 2-3 bins, all neatly arrange, some are in bags with their gear and guns, he has the space ship, the attack ship and a bunch of other vehicle’s and add ons. He had them since he was a kid and he’s in his 60s and took amazing care of them. If you’re interested I can try to arrange a meet up. Only thing is we are located in NY, if you’re willing to make the trip. But o think you’ll definitely be impressed with what he has

[@Harpfrmhel]

Estate sales can be over priced. They can also be terrific. The one you went to , it's clear that the Barbie dolls that this woman was selling were in great shape and she put a lot of effort into making sure that they had their boxes and that the outfits were complete. The price point was on par with the level of quality and the amount of work that was put into getting those dolls ready for sale.

Omgoodness Anthony! Boy can I relate to that love- hate relationship with estate sales and the hate has gotten stronger than the love in recent years! Most of the ones by me are conducted by antique shops who do estate sales also and they price everything just like they would in their stores! When I was younger I would plot out my weekends according to estate sale listings but I am just too darn old to get up at the crack of dawn and camp out in front of someone's house!! I find it more enjoyable to go to them now on the last day when everything is half price, because there are still a lot of pieces left over because they were too darn expensive when they started the sale! LOL I was yelling at you during the video, telling you not to buy those barbies at that price! LOL I collected antique dolls for 35 years before I sold off the majority of my collection. I'd buy and resell the vintage dolls so I could put that money into buying really old dolls and adding to my personal collection. I can see your reasoning as you got the other items that you got at a better price, so it evened things out, but I think that maybe at the prices you want to ask for them, you might sit on them for a bit before they sell! I hope I'm wrong, but I wish you the best with them! When I heard the woman say that they spent a lot of time matching up the outfits to what they were wearing in the pictures on the box, it makes me think of what we'd call, " married dolls" where you'd have to match bodies and heads back together from a box of old dolls and clothing! I hope it was just their outfits she had to put back on the dolls! Just make sure the dates on their butts are the correct years for the dolls! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
