I love it when Taco is hanging out in your videos....you got an awesome deal on the buttons! I love buttons!

[@1031Vintage]

Melmac plates are my favorite too! Love the Mary Poppins plate!

[@anncece7767]

Taco Stacks was lurking around there. LOL!!

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

I love the Mary Poppins plate and the buttons.

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

I would have bought the buttons in a heart beat. $3 Wow! You have me looking at stuff with a new eye. I loved the cars. I also love ephemera like you do. Hugs, Diana.

[@christinareitz2840]

Great deal on those buttons! I love buttons. Watching you is always fun!

[@joselbazcom4221]

The toy cars brought some dear memories and gave me the temptation to brought out my collection once more, which I gave into this morning on my day off. Every now and then I stick into the idea to buy a special case to store them, but I still like the old worn cardboard box. Thanks for taking time to show your findings.

[@jonedward1076]

I love the geayhound bus 🚌 had one when I was a little boy. I'm 55 now. First one I've seen in such a long time wish I was there I would buy it from u. Made my heart ❤ feel good. ..

[@lovemyferals]

I couldn't believe you got all those buttons plus the containers they came in for just $3! Score!!👍😄

[@thepaperturtle]

Oooh! The buttons! What an awesome find!

[@recyclingtreasures1541]

I was going to say slap the hand of the man picking up the cars you are going thru, then I realized it is Taco Stacks. How nice of him to go with you.

[@PaperandMoose]

Haha, yes it was him. Funny that his offer price was actually the same price the lady quoted me!

[@deliveryguyrx]

I was eyeing up that 1976 pin.That's the year I graduated high school.My niece used to call buttons 'buppins' when she was little. It wouldn't surprise me if there were some nickels and dimes mixed with those buttons.

[@stanwebb3480]

Like the fact that Taco advised you to ask for group price on the cars!!!!!! We saw him a few times....... The black buttons look like they may be men's uniform buttons from shirts etc.... The cars are neat score and you never know which little vehicle will be the "cash cow" in the group!!!!!!!

[@marleneaz9676]

OMG...I absolutely love buttons, old and new...I don't know why, but I just gravite towards them!

[@Gem-ep2vq]

Hi Paper and Moose, thank you for the vid. Love your channel. I truly loved the jars of buttons, you do have an eye for things. It's nice to see in other vids of yours how much you like ephemera, I also love it myself. Living in the UK, we are lucky to get some really old stuff. I am unable to get out like I used to due to having cancer and miss it so much. Watching you is like an outing for me, just love to see what you are going to find, so thank you so much. Xxx much love from the UK 🇬🇧

[@jocelynhansen37]

My day isn't complete ill I've watched my Paper and Moose!

[@deborahfogel3689]

Those buttons would sell very well here don't know about there. I am glad you found that Mary Poppins plate. I also like Mel Mac. I think it is making a come back. I love your videos. I love going trash picking with you. ❤️

[@paulanull8731]

Hi again, my 2 bucks worth of info...Separate out all the shell buttons, all the metal buttons and all the heavy plastics. Hang onto the oddly shaped plastics, the really big ones, the ones with rhinestones, bakelites. Keep glass, unusual colors and hang on to the jar with all the black buttons and strap adjusters. I think the black button jar holds vintage overhaul buttons and strap buckles so it will need to be checked out. The rest can go into jars, sold at the flea, regular jelly jars (I save them, I know junk are us) and the small jars for a dollar of so. Then you need to start sorting the ones you kept. You sew sets together with needle and thread or string. Start with the metal ones, military and ornate possible victorian ones sell especially well, pearl also does well watch for largest and tiny baby ones. Find all the extra big buttons and set to one side, they often sell for more. Then pick out the bakelite or other heavy older buttons and set to one side Now you're on your own...sort as you chose. If you should find unknown ones show to BBDave if you can't find them on line. Um, probably not the best place to confess this but I have two of the large Rubbermaid covered tubs filled with jars and vintage boxes of buttons. Many sorted into sets, sewn together or onto cards. We lost our local flea market so......anyway good luck.

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

Thanks for sharing. I have LOTS of buttons myself and this gives me a good starting point for organizing.

[@jessicasalinas207]

Oh my goodness those button jars are epic! Such amazing finds. 😊👍💕

[@TexanPicker]

dang, I'd love to buy all those toy cars!!! nice!

Love garage sale, estate sale and garbage pickup videos the most. You got some good stuff today. Enjoyed shopping with you Renee😊

[@kathybowen708]

I love them too . Three weeks ago I went over and picked up Kathy and on the street behind hers , was a yard sale . With nothing much to do that day , I say let's stop . Glad we did . I always go for the jewelry first and found two rings , both 14 k . One has a gold heart and pink rose on it .The other has a one half carat emerald with 12 smaller diamonds around it . O.K. , you sitting down ? Each ring was .25 cent each ! I asked the man if he was sure of the price and he said yes . I told him I thought they were worth lots more but he seemed more like , I got to get rid of all this stuff . Also bought two ladies wrist watches , 10 c. gold filled looks like from the 30s or 40s . Yes , .25 cent each .Also silver pendant on chain of 4 dolphins swimming in circle around green and black stone , .25 cent . Trying to stay away from sales and picking because I'm retired and selling house and moving on . Next year I will be here 50 years . Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.

[@patriciagray4085]

The jar with the colored buttons would make a cute decor piece. Just put it on window, shelf end table etc. A nice pop of color and unique decor piece

[@FindsByPirjo]

I love toy cars, specially the green sport one with number 3, pls sell it to me. Wenn I saw the jars with the buttons I knew you are going to buy them, keep one for decoration item for yourself. Nice that you found the Mary Poppins plate for you. Have a wonderful week Renee!

[@carolc1961]

Great deal on the buttons even if they aren't old because you can use them for crafting.

[@saraleecoleman4427]

Fun, colorful, playful finds! Love your videos!

[@DonVDBorgh]

Still have my small cars from childhood '70s - '80s. Been years since I've looked at them, and know my brother & I played with them lots. Defiantly not in great condition. I remember those holders came in a case. Great buy 👍!

[@jasonkennethshonwise3850]

Fun,entertaining and good looking!!! Hehe lol great vids as always girl 😁👍👍

[@anitablades6033]

There is people that restore those old cars, type it in to U-tube they look new when there done. Try them on line you might be surprised!!!! When I used to sell stuff I learned more everyday so I don't expect to know everything!!!!

[@ShelbyAsInCar1969]

I love that green bigger pickup , my dad that I lost to lung cancer had one , a real one like it! You totally scored on buttons! I have my grandmas button box!!

[@marywatkins6798]

Renee, Sweet 10 was a sugar substitute. I recognize the shape of the jar. I think it was only in liquid form.

[@patternharlot]

Great score! Love the buttons. Something so delightful about a jar of random buttons. 🥰 FYI buttons are sold on ‘cards’ as opposed to ‘tags’. The old sewing lady in me just had say it! 🤪

[@LindaFoyle]

Renee, where I live, we have shop that sells old lace, wrapping paper and anything else for people who craft with older stuff . One little scoop of buttons goes for $1.50! Eekkks! I think you did well on everything.

[@PaperandMoose]

Oh wow, $1.50 per scoop! We do not have any little shops like that in my area, though I think that would be a fun place to go to.

[@indianajeffs591]

The best piece of the matchbox lot was the motorcycle missing the back wheel. Made by Hot Wheels called Rrumblers. Sell well even as parts. Some bring 100's in good condition. I found the mail delivery and it brought $250 on eBay several years ago.

[@Shonas08]

For some reason ( unbeknown to me ) you have just got me interested in buttons! I see jars and bottles of them all the time at carboot sales and charity shops here in England. I am Very interested in what I may find ( when I can go out of course. ) Thank you for a great video and getting my creative side operating again! :)

[@kayjohnson5091]

My favorites were the Disney bags! Brand new, sturdy, good -looking and with shoulder straps. Perfect! And great price!

[@jennieadamsMM]

Buttons... paper crafters dream. 🦋🌸💕😀

[@TheCraftyraven]

You can keep kids busy for hours with a jar of buttons and some bowls to sort them in! Great price on those. I gave my collection to my sister about 10 years ago but notice I’m back up to over a gallon of them. Old habits die hard 😉 Peace

[@lindawhitaker4314]

Button jars are great with a great price. And the only time I’ve ever talked to you out loud was when you looked at the pins. I’m sitting her saying, get that one! Get that one! A few of them were really pretty.

[@jackandpiper]

I love Melmac items! My family thinks I’m crazy..but they are so nostalgic 😊

[@PaperandMoose]

Melmac is the best!

[@julielong9440]

Paper and Moose when I hear the word melmac I think of the show ALF. I think he was from the planet melmac so it seems funny to me!!

[@tammywhalen3297]

I had fun trash pickin and going to sales with you today i have been trash picking since i was 12 in 1972 another fun thing my brother and i would do back then when we went with our mom thrift shopping we would check all the old purses for change and we always found some !

[@almiller7607]

I would have grabbed those buttons in a heartbeat! You got some good finds!

[@karenx7541]

I would definitely have taken the button jars too ; in a heartbeat.

[@kentuckylady2990]

Love the buttons and the Vintage Sweet 10 jar. The left behind Mr. Peanut items were nice

Do I hear Taco Stacks in the background?!? Cool 😁😎😁😎😁😎😁

I bought a plastic bag of "junk" jewelry for $1.00 and got home and found a sterling silver and diamond tennis bracelet. Made my day 😁 PS when is the next mail day?

[@Momzahippie]

probably CZs since they don't put diamonds in sterling.

[@leslikuyweski4576]

Buttonpalooza! I love buttons but I had to quit buying them. I had way more than one person should have! I sold some at the flea market a few years ago. Nice finds today.

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

I'm the same way. I also have to make myself walk away from vintage books and photos, although sometimes they suck me in, lol.

[@richardhill3580]

Renee, That looks like a GREAT score on the Buttons. I'll bet you could get that Cousin of yours to help dig thru them with you as a Treasure Hunt? Make it a Game..What fun. (I'll bet there are some Military ones in there too ) By the time you sort thru (and won't that be fun digging ) and find some matching unique or decorative 5 or 6 matching ones the those unique ones would probably sell for at least $5 for 1 bag on your Etsy so 1 single bag could pay for ALL the jars. I'll bet you find at least 4 or 5 really unique bags. A small sandwich ziploc filled with similar types or colors would easily sell for $1. You will find at least 30 bags of those as well.

[@sandradunaway3923]

I am jealous of your button score...I make pocket letters and use buttons as texture decor.

[@karenwazny7994]

The sweet 10 jar used to hold a liquid sweetener, my parents used it in their coffee.

[@paulanull8731]

Tasted awful.

[@karenwazny7994]

Yes it was bad lol

[@joannerickard5023]

Ok, it's official, I live in an estate sale. Was just just sorting thru a box of matchbox cars and assorted other toy cars from the early 80's. They belonged to my nephew. I also have a few vases of old buttons, from my Aunt Tillie who passed away in the 70's. And she was old then! I'm getting ready to sell my house and I'm half considering to ask you to come up and clean it out!! lol!! Bought my parents house and they already had belongings from relatives. I, too, love a good treasure and its hard to sort all of this!!

[@PaperandMoose]

It sounds like you are going to have lots of fun going through all of your treasures!

[@cathyhelmuth823]

[@steelerscollector]

Love the matchbox cars, I sell those empty trays alone for $10 plus shipping

[@IsthatSew]

Love all those buttons. That was a great price!

[@mindya5603]

I was at that Estate sale the last day....wow, did I miss out as per your video....LOL, and I have no excuse....I literally live three blocks away....anyway....I did pick up some good deals.....wish I would have known you were going past my place I had two boxes of "free items" that would have been good flea market items for you. Took to a local thrift shop. Great buys at the yard sales and the estate sale...early bird gets the worm!!!

[@PaperandMoose]

I'm guessing they were pretty much cleaned out by the time you got there? I didn't capture the hallway full of boxes of books, I wish I would have taken a look at them!

[@mindya5603]

@@PaperandMoose Yes, they were. I didn't go through the books either....just a quick go through looking for Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys. Renee, I'm going through my garage stash....as I filter through the boxes and totes and make "donation" boxes I'll make a point to see you at Saylorsburg Flea to see if you want to stop by when in the area.

[@paularice4501]

The flat bed truck would look great with one if your bottle brush trees on the back for Christmas decor! I think the buttons would do well at the flea market if you put out a container and let people pick and choose what they want for a price per button or 3 for a quarter...just a thought.

[@nanharrison2997]

I’m glad you got that black truck, love it. I never like going to yard sales where they have it in their garage. Never big enough to move around😂

WOW! You did great! TFS Hugs!

[@lisagrafton2529]

You can sell lots of broken matchbox and other brand cars. There are people who use the parts to repair other vehicles.

[@winkybarnett6909]

Great deal on the buttons! In Ohio those jars would go for upwards of $5-$10. I am amazed at how much some buttons can be worth! Good luck hope you have some rare buttons!

the Disney bags where an add on you were able to buy if you made a large purchase at the parks they a new style and color every year. I own many different ones. the cost new where no more then $10.

Think I saw a Little People houseboat on the Matchbox table. Love them. Was watching BBD & he passed a table with an elf sitting on a big leaf. Made me think of you. No flea this holiday weekend? Do they still do fireworks 💥 over the river up there?

So jealous of your button find! They always want too much when I find them at estate sales or thrift stores.

I visited a button museum that has a huge variety, I wonder if you have any in those jars they don't have. The level of ornamentation can be very impressive! I would have paid three dollars just for the jars lol nice finds!

Hello Renee . I haven't been to any rummage sales yet . I have been to our goodwill will but I didn't really find anything good . But it was fun to go hunting.

Yardsale goodness! Lots of buttons, and maybe a marble or two?

[@pattiwhite9575]

I really like the snack containers. If anything they would be great to store some snack in personal bag for the day outings. I hope you got that one jewelry pin with the natural stones shaped as a leaf. Very earthy and natural look. See you out with TS. Was he helpful to your learning? Or is he the brawn if needed? Glad you have a partner in crime. Do you have to buy the donuts when he drives? LOL

[@vickibender9580]

The black pin that you had in your hand when you were looking at the jewelry looks like gutta percha. If it is, they can be quite valuable.

[@PaperandMoose]

I did purchase it & after looking up the Gutta Percha pins, it does look very similar in style. Mine is not a pin however, it has just a bar across the back, perhaps what one put a scarf through. Thank you so much for the information, it is appreciated!

You have some gems in those little cars, don't know too much but saw a recent video from Commonwealth Picker/Commonwealth Flipper (He has 2 channels) the little hollow cars go for $60s some higher. Don't sell without research, you got lucky. They even surprised him how much they went for. Btw kinda new in your channel! I enjoy your content very much!

[@larryboysen5911]

I, too, like the mini cars and trucks...have some vintage, and some larger scale for my Lionel layouts. I've restored and repainted a few...cannot tell, as I have used the same colors.Button, button, who spilled the buttons!

[@PaperandMoose]

It would be fun to try my hand at painting some to make them look "new" again!

[@larryboysen5911]

@@PaperandMoose How I do this, is to strip off the old paint, Mask off the rubber wheels, before stripping! Carefully burnish out any minor dings with # 600 or finer wet or dry "sandpaper". I dampen the paper [water]. Let piece dry. Go over the entire piece with 0000 grade steel wool to remove the surface corrosion. Carefully remask the wheels with fresh tape. Prior to any painting, wipe the body with acetone, let dry...and try not to touch the piece with bare hands. Prime with gray flat primer, then finish coat. Let dry at least 24-48 hours between coats. Key is don't rush! The paint I use is Krylon spray paint that comes in a rainbow of colors, read the instructions on the can before applying. One more caution...do not mix brands of paint...use all Krylon, or if another, that brand. The real pros in this hobby use the airbrush...that's real dedication!

[@richardhill3580]

A little Tip Renee, when going to garage sales search for items you would not normally be looking for or have an interest in, or have knowledge of, specifically hand tools.(BIG money) Check the tool boxes or Stuff just loose tools dumped into boxes most of the time. (TacoStacks has mentioned selling these in His videos before ) Taco says he just scraps the off brand or no-name cheap stuff but look for ratchets and sockets marked " Snap-On" Matco is Premium too. *Craftsman is good (decent money) but not Premium like Snap-On. *Little story-I sold a single Snap-On ratchet for $70 yesterday, found in a storage unit. Had like 100 views in just 3 hours. About 400 views 16 hours later. Guys will PAY big-huge demand. Buyer originally made a counter-offer for $10 less. Wanted a discount. I had 24 hours to respond so I waited thinking SOMEONE is going to pay full price with all this interest. 4 hours later the guy who wanted the $10 discount paid FULL price himself because he knew he would miss out and someone else would get it.

[@PaperandMoose]

I do know about Snap-On, but for me, the first thing I'm going to at sales is usually what I enjoy the most. Plus, I'd have to beat the line of guys rushing to the garage haha. But you never know, I could stumble upon some yard sale where a guy is getting rid of all of his tools and it could be my lucky day!
