Kevin, believe it or not, those baskets at 7:05 are potentially big money. Flower/herb gathering wicker baskets ... sell between about $30 and $50 for many, sometimes more. Those looked larger - or at least one of them was - so solid profit there.

[@CommonwealthPicker]

Nice. Thanks for the bolo

[@teeteeree3540]

Thanks for sharing the tip! Shipping looks like it might be a little challenging though.

[@MountainManTreasure]

Teetee Ree only in the sense that it would need a big box most of us don’t have typically on hand. Still easier than most glass, etc, I think.

Back in the 90s, I went to an estate sale that advertised "records" . They had one record in a box - I said how can you advertise records when you have only one? "Oh, go in the shed, it's full of records". It was 110 degrees in that shed, and I spent about two hours in there looking through thousands of records. That was a hot one! I bought about 200 pieces for $35, about $2000 worth at mid-90s prices. You've got to sweat a little if you want to find good stuff.

[@teeteeree3540]

Wow! Nice!

[@amaninthestreet8002]

It's what we dream of. Especially if you are the only one who's looking 😃👍

[@jengames99]

Wow.. you're so organized! I love how you have your shipping supplies under the table like that. Nice!!

[@esmelovesvintage]

What makes me happy is that stuff has been laying dormant for yearrrrrssss forgotten by the hoarder, and then one day we resellers come along and give the stuff a new lease on life! Makes my heart very happy 💕💞💖 The deer was magnificent! 💟💟

[@CommonwealthPicker]

You and me both!

[@Jose75523]

When the guy said you got some good stuff worth A LOT of money I was like oh don’t go there.

[@Laz2022]

LOL! Last time somebody said that to me the guy sold me a huge stein full of vintage pewter D&D figures for $30!

[@MountainManTreasure]

Those are the situations that are so exciting for potential and overwhelming all at the same time.

[@CommonwealthPicker]

More exciting than overwhelming imho.

[@MountainManTreasure]

Those inside prices were a bit steeper, huh? (Bummer that vintage garfield went back!)

[@readysetsleep]

One estate sales agent was notorious for asking for high prices, because he would just keep the items people would leave and the pile would grow. Found out that he would then auction those picked items for good money, or ebay them himself using some 3rd party. He had a fancy show room warehouse too. Honestly the home owners just want to cleared out, so they can sell the home, and not be stuck with more bills.

[@eb9844]

@@MountainManTreasure I have one from the 80’s. It’s still in good condition but I’ll never sell it.

[@Gary_Daytona]

CP, you looked like you shifted into HIGH gear on that hoarder pick, if it weren’t for the crowding, it’d be a picker’s paradise. Don’t you wish you had that place to yourself for about an hour? Lots of hidden treasures under the junk. Thanks for taking us along.

[@Laz2022]

Ones like that you go with your gut and grab whatever you think may hold value and pile it up then do comps. Around here it's way worse at just about every sale. Literally, people will rampage through rooms, tossing stuff (and sometimes people) out of the way.

[@capt.americamom7101]

The adrenaline rush and anxiety just watching you pick!😳 this is what I live for when I go picking...* Ive been picking for about 10+ years now. I come across some amazing finds out we’re I live in a rural area. The houses are further apart but I’ve picked some amazing things. I wished I have filmed to show all the fellow pickers the cool stuff I’ve come across. It’s exciting!...* 🌻☮️✌️🌎

[@Laz2022]

Me too, I live for picks like that. The dirtier the better because most people will only look on the surface.

[@capt.americamom7101]

Laz - yaasss! It’s so crazy & fun. I went to a yard sale last season and this couple were selling a ton and they said they sold on eBay so of course your like oh everything is looked up and based off of online prices well nope either they sold on eBay a long time ago or they were not good at it lol. I ended up purchasing an antique type writer which they said was a child’s toy. I bought it for $5 flipped it next day for $534.00 plus ship. It was not a child’s type writer it was just antique. It’s stuff like that I wish I could share with you all 😁

[@capt.americamom7101]

Laz - what was your best pick!?...*🥰

[@Laz2022]

@@capt.americamom7101 I don't know if it's the most valuable pick, but it was the most memorable. Found a listing on FB Marketplace that was just titled "estate" with a pic of the front of the house and no description besides the address, which happened to be about 6 blocks from the house (Yippee!). It was the lady's grand daughter and she was totally overwhelmed and only had help from her grand aunt and uncle, who were pretty decrepit themselves. I immediately started finding stuff and piling, even found a 1942 HS yearbook. I spent an hour in the house, 2 hours in the garage wading through old doll boxes and trash, and an hour in the attic literally crawling over raccoon poop... and I loved every minute of it. lol. I got tons of stuff, filled my Jetta up twice. I got (17) 1984-85 Cabbage Patch dolls, a cap gun, models and games from the 1940-50's, etc. It was a pile bigger than the sofa and when she said $100 for everything I couldn't get my money out fast enough. I made about $2000 off that.

[@capt.americamom7101]

Laz - wow!😃 that would of been awesome to see!...* I enjoy old papers like post cards letters old photos anything with history...* When I first started doing this I always stayed away from estate sales thinking they are too expensive but soon learned you just never know. Just how you went to that one found a lot of goodies and only paid $100.00 😃👍 now I go to any because you just never know...*

[@lisalynn1]

I thought that was a target practice deer. Holy moly I jumped when it moved. How cool!!!

[@susanfontaine3721]

Boy that was a sale. The man outside just wanted to get rid of it and the lady inside was trying to make a profit i laughed at you because you were so excited and your friend was all calm ha ha great video

[@Laz2022]

It takes some tools, but that pencil sharpener is worth about $15 and the bench grinder is worth at least $50. Also, don't overlook full skeins of yarn. Yarn can fetch really good prices, I've sold a skein of yarn for $25 before. As always, great vid and I hope the family is well.

[@kalisvarkrom9937]

100 ft. Fiberglass tape measure is around $20.00 new, I got three of them from my old contractor days.

Wow! I hope I find a sale like that! I would have been there for at least 2hrs. Ha ha! Recently, I was trying to go to a sale on that yard sale map & me & my aunt walked up to this guy's garage. He had all this stuff laying out on the ground outside of the garage. We started looking around at all the stuff & the guy seemed offended we were there. It turned out that yard sale map sent us to the wrong address ha ha!

Sometimes I can not tell if your talking to us or yourself. If it is to yourself, I do that all the time! Funny!

[@janelord3061]

You had to look EVERYWHERE at that sale. Things were in unexpected places, inside other things, under things, etc. I could have spent an entire day there and not seen it all, but what a joyful day it would have been. Thank you for picking up the things you dropped and for putting the plush back where you found it. So many people today don't take responsibility for anything and it is so refreshing to see people do what they should. I worked in retail and so many people decide they don't want something and just dump it anywhere they happen to be. It makes the store look junky, and, despite picking things up all day, it would take about an hour after closing time to set the departments back to order so everything would look nice the next morning. Too many people are lazy and/or don't take responsibility. Thank you for what you do. Where did you get your camera harness, please? Is it just for a phone or camera too? Thanks. The collection of toy plates, spoons, etc. looks like it came right out of my childhood. I had those exact ones...still do, but will be selling as we clear out to downsize.

[@baublesblingsneedfulthings7550]

[@impiXXX]

bro i WISh we had a garage sale culture like this. in germany as far as i know most estate sales are done by hire and then those companies run thriftshops/antique booths and vend on fleas. which ofcourse means higher prices even on miscellaneous stuff, less scores throughout. and then the fleamarkets with private sellers are never just in a neighbourhood in the frontyard or something, they're almost always on empty mall parking lots or parks and the vendors pay like 30 bucks /meter of vending area to the host of the "event". you can score on those markets but even then they're riddled with vendors and people are less inclined to take 50cents even for like an ashtray or something because the fee to vend. fucked if u ask me
