This is How I Negotiate at Garage Sales

[@BobbyB602]

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 🤣.

[@NEOTHEGREAT6]

I like how you are respectful and kind we need more of that in the world 👍

[@thriftmine]

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

[@camr111]

"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.

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@sarahthompson338]

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

[@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

[@bige3244]

Man idk how I ended up in your channel but it’s great! Definitely subscribing ! Keep up the great content bro!

[@liamhimmelberger1335]

Love your videos John. I was waiting all day for your newest video to come out. Thanks for keeping me entertained!

[@Pugs309]

Love that cabinet very neat Nice finds

[@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

[@j4mesgreen]

Mitchell's and Butler are a British brewery/pub chain. I used to work for them about 15yrs ago.

[@DefyLogicband]

love the table and chairs at the beginning!

[@HDHD-yv9np]

They are really nice

[@connieholdren6534]

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

[@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.

[@amplified-zg1cy]

Really like your addition of showing asking prices

[@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! 💕

[@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.

[@feeizzy2343]

Great pickup on the vintage clothing.

[@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.

[@kenjohnson731]

weird to see a mitchels and butlers pub sign there..i wonder where the cricketers arms was located in the uk..most of my local pubs were that brewery..

[@AD-kq2nx]

Pendelton is really expensive brand new she wasn't joking, they're blankets are 🔥

[@tylert-raw5691]

You came up on a lot of vintage clothes! That is awesome that stuff sells super good on eBay

[@jackiechapman8189]

Gr8 find's John... Love the vintage table and chairs also love the large cabinet with lattice wood work front... Sweet deal on the bobble head's too... The last sale was amazing items but way to high for resell... Happy 4th to you and family and Stay safe...👍💕🔥🙏💯

[@dawnegan3984]

Lovely comment some people are mean and this man is never rude or mean thank you so much 💛

[@bartermania]

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

[@diannacashion2047]

I love that fishing lure mail box! Wow! Wonder where they got that?!?

[@itsmetommyt7362]

Great stuff as always. You passed on the Fighting Illini polo that had the Chief Illiniwek logo on it, the University of Illinois doesn't use that logo anymore so there's value in it.

[@vanjam9556]

16:10 you'll have a good chance of selling that if you add "Memphis Design" pattern and 90s for sure. that has become popular nowadays and people are seeking it out!

[@jalenshands7538]

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

[@theimpishartist]

Pendleton in a very high end brand woolen products from Oregon. If you bundle to sell on ebay in fall you should do ok!

[@richardvillegas3799]

Good hit on da Springsteen Tees 👍🏽💥🔥... the Ray Boom Boom Mancini should move quick too 👊🏽

[@GingerMarvin]

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

[@PunterjSmith]

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

[@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.

[@aaroncisneros1127]

Wish you would have picked up the Budweiser piggy bank...i would love anything more to my Budweiser collection

[@harrisheller21]

Wow..huge come up with those Springsteen shirts! I would've grabbed the Cheers shirt too because they sell for $15-17 dollars

[@tomjsutigers]

Thank you John

[@jeffmooney3991]

Do you have a video showing your own sports collection?

[@navii__]

Hey I’m from Dubai and I love watching ur videos! I wish we have garage sales here

[@bbyydalives818]

John, I see some Tropical button, collar shirts, and I just think that they are cool. I am going to buy a couple and see how they do.

[@edwardmajka3144]

Marathon Watching 7/11/22 Negotiations went well ... that’s cool 😎

[@MrJakebb123]

I want that yellow shirt you got.

[@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.

[@bettyinindiana5632]

That book was a FIRST PRINTING - enjoyed the video - Happy 4th!!!

[@thevintagecreep3667]

I have had a "noodle cart" for 25 years and never knew what it was. This vid solved a mystery!!!

[@danbartolini27]

Those trunks make good bars

[@briandotson8028]

John...I want that yellow shirt!!! Will you be listing it in your Ebay store?

[@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 !!!!

[@PetersLabyrinth]

Cool vintage cheers shirt should have gotten it

[@ChadSucher]

Nice haul, you should wear that yellow shirt on the next Guys without Jobs.

[@22stunt45]

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

[@leonardodalerta4618]

Haw mush was the rock band set? Beside the guy with the American flag mask, those go for good money for a complete set.

[@bradmoberly6164]

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

[@PokgiWorld]

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

[@laurendodson6779]

Did you walk past a white vintage Xmas tree in a box?

[@Looking4Deals]

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

[@scottbever251]

What’s the name of the Antique mall?

[@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

[@AndDrew]

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

[@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.

[@sunshinestatepicker6453]

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

[@JJM3rd]

The guitars alone are going for $30-40.

[@tims10000]

How much for the boom boom mancini

[@NitrousDiecast]

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

[@two-sense]

hang it from the ceiling, lol

[@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.

[@Sunflower0678]

Thanks for the video.

[@MrLexanderluther1986]

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

[@Honcho1983]

Do you still have those flannels?

[@dawnterry3107]

The Hawaiian shirt the brand is Made In Hawaii

[@davidhattman7649]

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

[@bryandinardi5728]

Seem to be having luck..here in ny took awhile for people to start having them now there’s so many around

[@stevelender6852]

That was an awesome fight

[@janelord3061]

Great day at the sales.

[@jeffmarconette9670]

Thelast garage sale had antique store prices!

[@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???

[@Paperraul]

NEED that boom boom shirt CP lol is it sold yet?

[@lajohnston5962]

Should have scooped up those vintage Browns shirts homie!

[@Waachiye]

LA JOHNSTON - My thoughts exactly. *GO BROWNS!!!* 🟧🟫🟧🟫🟧

[@jllymon]

you should buy the hawaiian shirts, assuming they are made in Hawaii. i buy and sell vintage Hawaiian's. i can forward a list of vintage brands with pictures authentic labels.

[@Elenthachat]

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

[@VikingBaymax]

Damn. Wanted that star fleet manual for my girl. Next time next Time

[@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”

[@dieegoh9335]

Where do you sell your clothes ?

[@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

[@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 !!

[@marycaswell6894]

Hi John, Can you please tell me how much you charge for Albums in your Antique Booth? Want to start picking them up. Thanks ✌

[@levztamano2105]

Love watching your vid..i really do....keep it up

Nice

[@thriftshopbunny251]

“The table and chairs are very sturdy” *rocks when touched* “not on this driveway though the grounds unlevel 😂😂😂

[@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.

[@IAMST1D]

Was that a Ray Mancini shirt ??

[@Panzer-xi5uj]

Great video 👍😊

I don’t understand why I like these videos lol just interesting catchy content I guess 🤔

Maybe one day I will bump into you at a garage sale

[@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 )

[@tinkertime490]

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

[@Dngdng420]

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

[@XtraBees]

Curious, any way i'd be able to purchase all those tees at the end of the video in a lot?

[@bnstox]

Your best move is to send John an email, located in the description.

[@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.

[@lonestarlouie]

Have you done this before -- i.e. the LIVES? I don't recall ever seeing one. HAPPY 4th Dude

[@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.
