I always pick up an idea or great tip from you Rusty. You are so right, kindness not only makes the day enjoyable but sometimes more profitable.

Do not use any adhesive on the cards...this damages them, and lowers resale value....I used to work in art restoration

[@johnmyers5732]

There's one thing you can do with the tobacco cards that would bring you even more money, but it's going to take a little more work. Instead of mounting them the way you show - "tipped in" - you could out them in a double matt so that you have color showing on the front and back. Then frame that. By doing this, the buyer has a good view of the back of the card and the description of what it's about, etc. Just fix the card in place with a tiny bit of art mounting tape top and bottom to keep it from moving in the mat, and you're good to go. Doing this, it takes the single framed card up to the $25-30 range, depending on the image. $50-55 for two cards, then you could do three cards, four, six, eight, etc. If you know how to/have the equipment to cut the matts yourself, that's even better, you just buy the paper stock, the frames, and extra glass. For the extra glass part, I'd buy cheap 99-cent plastic frames of the same size, save the glass and dump the rest in recycling. Back in the 90s I sold these in not-for-profit museum shops, and the larger ones in a popular image could go upwards of 125. The company we bought from made a big point that all the cards they used were original, and were NOT reprints, so that would be worth putting in your product copy as well. It will add to the perceived value of the purchase.

This will be best for sure…good suggestion

I try to treat everyone like i would want to be treated! ❤

[@threewheeler624]

Thank you for a good video. The humor is good, even better is the dry "complicated" humor... don't be afraid. The best part was the guitar at the end.

[@owlbethrifting6190]

That was a good message on being kind, to everyone. I shop often to my nearby thrift stores, and I do my best to be as polite as possible to fellow shoppers and the working associates, it makes for a better day for all. Win ,Win for everyone.

[@maggiecousineau1877]

Thank you for your public announcement to be kind to retail staff, there is so much a ger out there these days. I was tryptophan remember the lady artist/company that has cool 70 artwork on pencils, school supplies and portfolios. They are definitely a BOLO.

[@buckybuckybeaver]

The vintage silver pen with cross and emblem is..Medical symbol caduceus snake with stick (emblem for drugstore, pharmacy icon).

[@dianeforpeece8166]

I agree about cards! I recently sold antique “bird” cards from Arm & Hammer. Folks will buy - would suggest sleeves

[@lisaliv2585]

I would LOVE to see a video of you harvesting a stone from one item to add to another. I would have no clue how to do that.

[@angiekelly2744]

I loved this video. ❤ thanks for the education. I try to take Wednesday’s off. Glad you are taking a day off too. Wow! I didn’t realize you could play the guitar so well!

[@wandaarnold7395]

I've got boocoodles of ink pens and pencils I've collected and held back for years.....never thought about selling them till watching your video today. ❤

[@dianewilson7397]

those us government pens are from the military. My husband who was in the air force had plenty

[@asharon956]

I wouldn't list them, considered govt property,

[@avengingmime]

My father's service buddies may or may not have given him, as a retirement present, a latch-hook Air Force seal mug mat that may or may not have been stolen off the base commander's desk 🙈🙉🙊

[@rama6590]

This video was informative and enjoyable, especially the picking at the end! 👏

[@wandaarnold7395]

Thank you for sharing this video...loved it!

[@RustyTheReseller]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@staceylee-yang9164]

Thank you for sharing. I just started my eBay store and spent a lot of money buying things but haven’t really made any sales. You taking the time to share is really helpful and keeps me motivated to keep at it.

[@antiquarianbookman7521]

Wow $10 back then was worth maybe $350 today. Imagine how much that refractometer costs back then

[@dianewilson7397]

Thanks for the information... very interesting.

[@Thethriftinghour-dj3jv]

Great video Rusty!

[@HoosierPickers]

Thanks Rusty! Fun and informative video.

[@valerierennison7616]

Great information, Rusty, as usual.Really enjoyed you playing the guitar at the end .❤

[@wandaarnold7395]

I love jewelry.....❤❤❤❤❤

[@maggiecousineau1877]

Please don't put adhesive on the cigarette pictures, it is the same for mint postage stamps, the value is reduced by half.

[@terrahillman151]

And the Juliana missing stones. List it! Ask high!

[@wandaarnold7395]

Good morning Cuz.....enjoying your video!❤

I really enjoyed the Guitar! Very Nice!

[@vickiediddle5012]

Great show!! (Especially the end)

[@katenickels617]

great video

[@youaregodspursuit]

The stick on images are decals...

[@magnoliaskys]

You play the dobro I’m so impressed!!

[@jackiesicilian5720]

People buy those Even with stones missing for good money

[@monicarust2383]

Never tape! I would pay $5 - $7 for each of those!❤

[@leighanneboles4386]

Resellers who buy bulk purchases make it hard for folks who simply can't afford to do that

[@RustyTheReseller]

I disagree. There are billions of deals out there. Me buying one lot in one location will not affect your business. I started out buying things individually and I still do. The other competition of resellers is what is most difficult ...competition.

[@BebeSatos]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ncfire6638]

I see you deal with a lot of jewelry. I am also in the NC mountains. I wanted to ask you if you knew any high end antique jewelry buyers in the area. I have a really unique nice bracelet that I am looking to sell. Just hard to find a serious buyer

[@RustyTheReseller]

feel free to send pics to [e-mail]

[@ncfire6638]

@@RustyTheReseller do you have a shop in Asheville? I could bring it by and let you see it in person. I live in Arden

[@asharon956]

I used to manage high end jewelry store in high end mall. I said Costume Jewelry to my district mgr, told Never say COSTUME JEWELRY, always say FASHJON JEWELRY. Thought you may want to know costume is outdated, fashion is best.

[@BastetNoodles]

Costume jewelry itself is 36:14 dated, so...think your manager had it wrong. "Fashion" jewelry sounds like stuff from the 80's & up to me. Personally, my ears perk up when I hear " vintage costume" referring to jewelry.

[@asharon956]

@@BastetNoodles FASHION means fashion, COSTUME means like costumes. This was very high end FASHION jewelry store, not costume jewelry store, had over 50 stores nationwide in ONLY high end malls, sorry but you are WRONG, What's your experience in jewelry?

[@BastetNoodles]

@@asharon956 OK, that's fine for a high end store selling new jewelry ~ but vintage is still costume.

[@danrasich1570]

Curious if you repair a piece do you let the buyer know or put repair in the title?
