Is it weird I really enjoy how smooth and organized he is in handling cash in his wallet??

[@mitchwilliams6504]

I have thought the same thing. His bills are always crisp and he sorts through them so fluently

[@geekguyful]

Same here. Almost makes me want to carry more cash.

[@kuttaro]

I don't even bring my wallet, I stick a wad in my pocket with the small bills on the outside, I don't want to fumble around with my wallet, sometimes I only have 1 hand free

[@jd8631]

kuttaro interesting. I keep the big bills outside.

[@picklikeapro6952]

I swear. I payed at a garage sale the other day and it mirrored him and I was proud. Yes. Super weird 🤣.

[@cameronragan4159]

"They're very sturdy" *Shakes a ton when she barely touches them

[@steventhorkelsen6478]

It was on a slopped driveway

[@lance5817]

I knew this was going to be in the comment :p

[@two-sense]

Yep. And then he made $55 on them.

[@stevequadnau]

The lady with the two chairs and table was hard selling you. 😂

[@kuttaro]

She didn't want to say they were old, thinking that would hurt the value

[@thriftmine]

LOL “good luck with your sale!” .....”btw, take $80 for all your bobbles?” Smooth John 👍🏻

[@davidhattman7649]

Those shirts are so expensive it's not funny , but I will sell them to you for 5 dollars.

[@jamesw.3491]

You found some nice stuff. Lately all the sales I have been to, are over pricing their stuff and not moving it. Every one of them say "I gotta get rid of this stuff and I'm willing to sell it cheap" but never ends up being the case. People think their stuff is worth more than it actually is. If you want eBay prices, then list it on eBay and deal with the returns and scammers. Gotta be meat on the bone or it's just not worth it. America has a hoarding problem. They have so much stuff, they want to unload it in yard/garage sales, but think they need big money out of it. They end up boxing the stuff back up and packing it back in the garage/storage unit and making zip. Getting SOMETHING for your stuff you don;t WANT/USE anymore is better than tripping over your junk.

[@connieholdren6534]

Pendleton is in my state, Oregon. They are a really good brand...very high quality! Their blankets are amazing, too! :)

[@AndDrew]

“So how much are they” “You could even paint white black white black, or whatever” Okay....thanks 😆

[@jalenshands7538]

Johnnn!!!! The rock band guitar and drums Easy 150$😫😭 I damn near cried when I seen you walk out🤣 , Love da videos brotha 🙏🏾

[@bradmoberly6164]

Pickin' is a addiction. I'm strung out on garage sales

[@prythal]

I am a 13 yr old resaller I have like 100 listed items. I don’t sell clothes. This is how I buy add ons for my online games with PayPal. Selling is fun ngl

[@Slava-ukraini_]

A 13 year with their own selling page? I love your attitude. Wish my nieces would value money more instead of just asking and begging 😂

[@Sethscrappycollectibles0674]

I’m also 13 and I resell on eBay but I bid on stuff and big lots that are cheap and sell the stuff individually for more

[@Aouf1]

Me too bro i mostly resell Jordan’s and supreme tho

[@bradmoberly6164]

When I was 13 we raked yards and shoveled snow for money. Now kids are business owners lol

[@danbartolini27]

Those trunks make good bars

[@jeffmarconette9670]

Thelast garage sale had antique store prices!

[@stevelender6852]

That was an awesome fight

[@PunterjSmith]

"that's something kung fu panda would have used..." That just made my day.

[@rustydiamondhypnosis]

You should have grabbed the rockband set. As long as it’s for Xbox and under 30 bucks, you’ll easily make money. Most of it breaks down quite a bit, and then send it through fedex.

[@gregoryperlman8362]

When you bought the Bobbles....let the seller state what he wants. Then you can negotiate from there. You said, "Would you take 80$". You should have said, "What do you want for all the Bobbles?" He could have very well said, "$50".

[@bbyydalives818]

You are right.

[@darkbeautifultwistedchroni8181]

Right of course but whatever he says is probably a fair price, he’s a very experienced picker and doesn’t want to scam the sellers, ofc he would want to make profit but $80 for all those pops also looked fair to me

[@bigdaddyyc]

They were marked $10 a piece and I see about 14 there. I doubt he would've started at $50. Typically a seller will add them all up and take $20 off in this scenario. But based on the seller's quick response, he could've gotten it for less.

[@thepicker9079]

@@darkbeautifultwistedchroni8181 Everyone has there own way of negotiating, but how could you say "He doesn't want to scam the seller" how could anyone scam someone if the seller is making the decision to accept the offer or if the seller is the one placing the price he wants for the item on it. Makes no sense to me at all. As a reseller its not our responsibility to sell the item and buy the item, its our goal to purchase items and if someone has a $200 item priced at $30 its not us scamming them out of their item we are simply buying an item from someone for the price they wanted which is not morally wrong or professionally wrong.

[@ijustwanttocommentfugoogle3839]

In negotiations whoever says the first number loses.

[@pickinainteasy6479]

Love the videos! Why don't most resellers ever tell the homeowners that they are resellers? I feel like most of the time there is an opportunity but the resellers usually go another route and make it seem like they will use the item/product themselves, myself included. And happy 4th!

[@lukethereseller7703]

Pickin' Ain't Easy I understand why and i do this myself, sometimes i feel like if i was honest they may put the price up or be a bit unsure about it. However, the times i have been honest about it, more often than not, they have brought more stuff out to sell to me and then we do a bulk deal. I think better to be honest if you feel they want to shift a lot of stuff and you want to build a relationship, especially if they come across stuff often.

[@thepicker9079]

Facts, Over the course of my 12 + years of full time reselling i have learned that letting people know you are a reseller and you are willing to pay top dollar for items gets me way more opportunities to buy more and get to the better stuff they have inside waiting to sell to someone who is willing and able to buy. Over the years i learned to be open and honest with people but there is definitely a good way and a bad way to go about it. If you come off as a pedaler who is just looking to snag stuff for dirt cheap to resell it you will get a lot of push back and you will not succeed with your goal of buying more stuff from them, but if you have a good talk game and you have the knowledge and experience to explain to people that you are a serious buyer who has the cash and is willing to pay fair prices for items of value you will gain their trust and you will most likely get a call back or invited to see other items they are looking to sell. Over the years this tactic has worked wonders for me, just this past weekend i was at a yard sale where they had numerous military items from the WW1 and WW2 era and i talked with the seller some and explained to them i was a serious buyer and would be interested in buying more if they had more and he said exactly this "Yea we have more stuff but i didn't want to set it out because its high value items and i know i wouldn't get someone serious enough at a yard sale to buy it all" and i was in there. Long story long i was able to buy roughly $2k worth of really rare military items from him and i also bought some silver and gold from him as well. Facts are most reseller try to act like normal regular buyers looking to use or keep the items they buy but thats not actually the best route to take because it makes your purchase a one time deal and no further buying can be done, Where as my method makes it that if they have more later one they call me personally and i can buy more and they usually pass my info onto other people who call me. Its all about networking and building yourself up in your local community as a buyer who is willing to pay cash for unwanted item. Why do you think pawn shops get so much business? Its because people know they can take stuff to them and get cash!

[@lukethereseller7703]

Reseller Rockefeller yep, have to agree, open, honest and friendly.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

WE LOVE THAT CABINET - REAL COOL - GREAT BUBBLE HEADS ! SOME FANTASTIC SHIRTS AND CHEAP - WELL DONE AGAIN ! STAY SAFE !!!! ****HAPPY 4TH OF JULY**** CHEERS FROM AUSTRALIA !!!!

Boom boom Mancini was fro Youngstown OH which is right on the Pa Oh line

[@MrJakebb123]

I want that yellow shirt you got.

[@lilctv40]

1:00 Hustler lady lol

[@where7847]

those overpriced antique fairs are basically a show and tell

[@Looking4Deals]

I'm surprised you didn't asked about the GH drums & guitar, those are selling quick & good $$ on ebay

[@jeffemanuele5827]

Hey love the videos ! Learned so much and still learning being a new eBay reseller. Can you leave a link to your store on eBay I am interested in the air filter.

[@Slava-ukraini_]

Look under the video.... He always leaves his links.

[@PokgiWorld]

awesome video man, yea old antique people price them very high

[@foofighters666]

Surprised how unenthusiastic you are about getting those Bruce Springsteen shirts for a buck each! They're each worth $75-$100.

[@pattihiggens1982]

Point of information/interest John - Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini is from Youngstown - your Northeastern Ohio neighbor. His father was a boxer many years before but never really "made it" , so Ray decided to try to attain what his father always "wanted" but never really achieved (his Dad was referred to as Boom Boom as well). Ray did fairly well in the boxing world but was "shattered" when, through a FREAK ACCIDENT a boxer from Korea(?) was felled by a legit punch but just hit the wrong way or something and he died (I think was ruled brain dead at hospital and his family had to make a HORRIFIC decision from so many many miles away. Ray was raised on the East side of Youngstown and his sister actually lived around the corner from my husband and me years later. He was always good to Youngstown over the years and Youngstown has always been good to him. Just thought you MIGHT be interested in the "story" attached to your garage sale find !!

[@jeffmooney3991]

Do you have a video showing your own sports collection?

[@dreamsreselling7215]

What makes John's videos great is all the detailed information is in a nice slot , some you tubers vlogs go on to long it's like man we have things to do lol . Great video love watching lots or variety which i like :)

[@NitrousDiecast]

The grid cabinet looks like a s and m dungeon item...ha ha ha ha

[@two-sense]

hang it from the ceiling, lol

[@trevor791]

The University of Illinois polo with the chief on it is probably worth way more then a quarter lol

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Great job picking over the best stuff at the garage sales! You did it well. I too go for the vintage items from the 60's through the 80's whenever I can find them. They always sell well on Ebay. Some people are not aware that Ebay's own data shows their greatest percentage of audience is in the 40 year and older category so things like Bruce Springsteen items are something most Ebay shoppers can relate to. I have found you really need to target your purchases at garage sales to fit what works well on Ebay if you limit your selling to that one venue. I really liked the buy it, drop it off, and consign it to a local outlet concept for the larger, hard to ship bulky items. That's something I probably need to also get into doing. I do list that sort of thing on Craiglist and Nextdoor apps but they don't pull nearly as well as I would like. Was especially nice to see your comment about the patio furniture selling nearly instantly. Gotta love buying and selling an item on the same day!

[@GingerMarvin]

Cool Finds! I def think you can get more than $25 for the Pendleton Flannels!

[@ericbegeman9510]

You should have bought the noodle cart if the price was right.

[@Gary_Daytona]

Agreed. I would have like to know what they were asking. I think it would have been a great draw at your booth until the right person came along and paid up for it rather than have one shipped in to the states.

[@acec4566]

Hi love your vids, can you please show us sales number compared to what you pay, not just your asking price but rather actual sales Thanks from other side of the world , Israel

[@karij8113]

I would recommend research on the Pendleton plaid shirts. You should get at least $25, but you may get more if they are older. Pendleton Woolen Mills is a blanket and sportswear company out of the NW in Portland, OR dating back to the 1860’s. They were always known for quality.

[@terryverduijn]

Would you do 7 on the pair of shirts, woman shakes her head. Okay so these two are 10, this is 12, let's see, 11, 13, 13.50.. Did you just took off 2 bucks buy just miscounting (out loud)?

[@PurdueAlum01]

8:47 That math was definitely funny but I couldnt tell the exact qty or price of all those other shirts so maybe it worked out because at least the one polo was just $0.25... but with the $2 phone on the floor? I couldnt tell either!

[@PurdueAlum01]

Uh oh if you do the shirt/phone math during the wrap up! He will feel bad about that one lol. Oh well.

[@DaniMaeAdventures]

Great hauls! You scored on the T-shirts! Matt was just saying today that his Panasonic phones were not a good investment. It’s crazy how two big resellers have different opinions on the same thing. I’m curious! 💕

[@MrLexanderluther1986]

Haven't listed those Springsteen shirts yet? I collect older shirts, myself. I'm interested :)

[@where7847]

thats something kung fu panda would of used

[@SNBoggs]

I saw in one of Lonnie’s recent videos that you bought records off him. Are you buying records in bulk? What do you pay per record?

[@impressivesarasarabrown466]

That last sale was amazing but high. Those Americana decor items were lovely . I have my eye on the 1778 replica set Lonnie is selling, I hope I can manage it before someone else does.

[@bartklijn83]

when is the star trek for sale in youre ebay? by the way, i love youre channel, i'm always looking forward to the new video's, greatings from The Netherlands ( Holland )

[@frozedickdave]

A snap of jealousy came over me when I saw that Mancini shirt

[@sunshinestatepicker6453]

The rock band Wii set.... $100 easy🙁🙁 how much did they have on it?

[@tinkertime490]

Be careful with the pendelton shirts. You have to REALLY check for moth bite holes in them.

[@macl9395]

Wow! did you really wait until the last minute to buy the bobble heads? I couldn't believe you walked by them twice. Thought for a minute you didn't see them.

[@delta250a]

Possibly left them until just before he walked out to make the offer. No one else was there

[@bartermania]

I think screech wore that last shirt in sbtb... lol . Nice vintage T scores.

[@sarahthompson338]

I love when you show your antique booth! I have always wanted one but there are no antique stores near where I live

[@diannacashion2047]

Do you also do all the listing and packing your of your items or do you pay someone to do that? If not, have you considered hiring someone???

[@picklikeapro6952]

I go to sales and spend 50% of what I pay on my kids toys also bud. We’re good dads if I do say so myself lol.

[@two-sense]

I know, but he still made $55 on it for about 10 minutes work. It sold as soon as he put it in the store. It looked more marketable just the way he left it instead of wasting time painting it.

[@purplenewbiejuiceoutdoorad6751]

Boom Boom Mancini, a fighter did accidentally die during one of his fights. Boom Boom was a wall of muscles in amazing shape and decided to end his career after the falling of his opponent. It was a very sad time in the boxing World.

[@625jeffrey]

Hope you're aware the Bruce Springstein shirts are worth a lot. I see the tunnel of love one listed for 149, not sure what the solds are but at least over a hundred. Edit: none have sold so idk maybe not that desirable.

People can ask what they want, but it often doesn't mean much.

[@scmrjim]

As someone who carries t-shirts , the Springsteen shirts were a holy crap moment.

[@JJM3rd]

Seeing those vintage shirts and hearing they only wanted $1 a piece, my jaw about hit the floor. Vintage music shirts can pull huge money, and Springsteen fans are rabid. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t get several hundred dollars for those shirts all together. Might take a minute for the right buyer to come along, but they’ll go for good money. eBay also might not be the best platform to sell them, clothing can often do better on other sites.

Did you really pass on those car mats that were free on the bench, even if not a complete set, im sure they had to be worth something. I would have grabbed them for free.

[@ThereseDavidson]

He was so excited when you Said ”would you Do 80 bucks for all the b-heads?”, he almost lost his balance and gave you something for free. Such a sweet couple

[@harrisheller21]

[@Honcho1983]

Do you still have those flannels?

[@beelucky9689]

Those Pendleton’s should sell for $40 each, I sold one just not to long ago. The kind of pockets on those shirts have a name, I believe the shirt is called “ a Pendleton Board Shirt”

[@michaelnewdigate4509]

I went to that same antique sale, the prices were from the place they bought out. I got a bunch of stuff that would have been a few hundred for about $40. Found a G1 transformer laying around as well.
