Trash Picking For Free Treasures it's FREEZING COLD - Garbage Picking Ep. 106

[@kayspence759]

Twisted blue glass, art piece would be nice in a bookcase or on a coffee table/desk------I would buy it. You reject a lot of nice things because the flea market crowds wouldn't be interested-----BUT the glass art could have easily been ebayed. So I'm wondering if you're interests really lie in scrapping -vs- selling stuff since your eyes consistently go straight to metal. The positive environmental impact of scrapping is important & commendable. Maybe working for a scrapper for awhile could clarify your interests & open some doors for you. You are already part of the reclamation stream. Maybe a bigger roll?

[@allenwest1986]

Ya that is a called a "glass knot sculpture" ,and they are worth up to $150 . That was a smaller between $35 to $65 Hand Blown glass art .

[@adamscott453]

i watch every video just wish you would dig deeper i always feel you leave good stuff behind just saying i have done a lot of trash picking and found my most valuable items berried at the bottom of piles if your in it to make money you must dig

The Light Bright is a vintage toy. You left behind the colored bulbs that go with it. Very expensive on ebay.

[@vintagemarylouise7319]

Always take the old box😂

[@woeb0t]

CommonSoldier101 Yes he did. It’s best to sell the whole thing together. The light part is not very valuable alone. However, the pegs he left behind are pretty valuable on their own.

[@rachelelledge503]

@CommonSoldier101 Yes he did...people who still have Light Brites have lost the pegs and would buy them...also the box is valuable.

@@debrahowe8962 Wow. I live in a deep rural area and those prices are not seen around here. Items that are eBay ready go high. I will say with all of the auction and picking shows on television, there seems to be more interest in the auctions and prices are up a bit. At the last auction, a telephone chair did go for a bit of money. I go for the dollar items, entire sets of retro china... Star Glow, Homer Laughlin Fleur d Lis, etc for a dollar. It is getting harder and harder to find the buys even at a late hour when many have left. It is all of the shows and YT channels.

Do you suppose Steve Jobs had a Lite-Brite back in the day? May it was an inspiration for Apple things. Everything starts somewhere.

[@oggiebabe]

I don't think the framed jigsaw puzzle is going to have anything behind the backing paper. If someone is going to buy it as framed art, they may not be happy to find the back paper cut in any way. Finding hidden treasures is most likely with fairly old framed items that had the backing attached by the owner. That framing job looks professional and a framing shop is never going to hide something behind a picture. Many professional framing jobs have the name of the business that did the work. Most people don't do that much detail work like the matting by themselves at home because it requires tools and equipment that as a rule only are found in framing shops. It is a nice piece.

[@joeyschoenegge7319]

very easy to "replace" the paper backer!

He leaves really good things behind all the time. Does not take time. Best stuff is at the bottom of the boxes.

[@mattford6848]

Junkyard Jeffrey Actually for him he takes the good things aka the scrap metal because that what is the main income from his trash picking comes from so Taco doesn't really leave the good things behind and he can't really take his time because he would lose money because he has to worry about both about the trash man taking the metal to the dump or other scrapers taking the metal for themselves. I hope I help you understand a little better why Taco passes up on doing what you say and subject what he should do

[@patriciahayashi9162]

It’s a hobby not his main source of income. His main income is vintage sportswear resale on Etsy eBay. A lot people get upset if you stand there rummage thru their trash so he gets what he sees. Plus it’s not legal to do in some cities he’s risking fines tickets. Lol yeah I wanted him get a Betty book for me. But it’s his choice what he wants pick up or leave.

[@mattford6848]

Patricia Hayashi That also collecting the scrap metal for trash also plays apart since Taco holds on to it so it builds up in his warehouse before he takes it to the scrap yard

You might try this for a video. After you clean out a storage locker, sort thru the stuff that you did not trash or donate. Get it organized and do a video like a package opening video. Show the items that you will sell at flea market, on line, or at auction. Will give us a chance to see best items, and other items that we missed or maybe you missed and found later. Think it would be interesting!

Thank goodness those ironing boards were already folded up! 🤣 I guess you’re too young to know what a lite brite is, I had one when I was a kid and that was a long time ago, I don’t think they’re worth much though, not rare at all. That puzzle thing, someone built a puzzle and had it professionally framed, I don’t think it’s very old. The trash picking videos are still my favorite!

No...its been professional sealed (the print). Not that old. Lite Brite was in the 1970. Pegs with different colors went onto holes. Making houses, animals etc.. millions sold.

Love your channel but oh my do I need to come home and pick with you, I see so many things that you pass up and or only grab half of and I am yelling at the screen, "No, grab that too!" LOL I know you can't be knowledgeable in everything and you should be proud of doing what you do, it helps the earth and you also keep it like you found it for the most part which is very kind to the owner of the property and others that come later. We would make a good team, I love vintage kids toys etc. You should look into that and maybe try your hand at ebay, it could bring a decent amount but I bet you are already spread thin so as it is.

[@lakelassie934]

Maybe, but with newer framed art, flipping it shows if it was a Kmart special with cardboard/staples backing or a oprofessionally framed puzzle with closed back. The brown paper keeps the dust off art and is a nice finish to back. Pros always use the brown paper (so do semi pros). Pro framing with cut mat is yikes expensive. This was pro job in a framing store. Owner would not put valuables inside. You will see back peeled back on older stuff in attempt to ID if print, illustrate from book, a repro, any clue to what the picture is. If need to, carefully pull pack corner, looks see, and paste back down. If no need to see, just leave alone. People look for these pro framing and want to take home and hang without having to get a new dust jacket put on (easy to do, use roll mailing paper, some white glue, remove old, scrap, cut paper to exact size, spread glue on entire back edge, let get tacky and slip new paper on. Smooth and let dry. If you have time go into framing shop is see how process works, pricing etc. then you can easily pick out good stuff. No one spends $75 framing a piece of garbage.

[@tdot9586]

Reposting: I like the puzzle art! Know it well. It's a depiction of Doug Laird's painting "The Original Six". Hockey jerseys says it all. Keep this. Hang it on your wall. Also consider designating a portion of your van a safe place for breakables, or travel with an old blanket. Honestly, when you picked up that big old alum chair and was about to throw it into the van, I couldn't watch. : ]

That puzzle was professionally framed and the frame is worth at least $75. DON’T CUT THE BACK. That is how you know a professional framed it. And when you left the Lite Brite box and pegs you dropped the ball. Those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s pay big $ for the toys of our childhood.
