Turning $200 Into $10,000 Reselling Junk

In today's video I'm unboxing another box of stuff that I bought from a hoarder which I purchased for only $200. This is the best thing about reselling, what a thrill to buy a haul for $200 that you can make $10,000 in sales from. What other job can you do that while working from home!

I think by now you can stop calling it the Hoarder's Lot and start calling it the Collector's Lot. This was a really fun episode that I enjoyed so much!

[@backfromburnout]

So true!! I was researching the little brass thing that looks a bit bell like and I think it’s a bell gong which could be worth a lot of money!

[@itzcaseykc]

@@backfromburnout There are bell ringer groups that are more of a percussion style, but they're made of brass, I think, and not glass. The ones you have may be ornamental at best. Also, if you haven't already done it, make an eBay section called The Vintage Collection or something along those lines.

[@SabineThinkerbellum]

the ceramic duck is from Germany. Stube is the German word for room. Keramik-Stube is the name of the shop and Angelika Cirus is the name of the shop owner. It’s at least 30 years old because it has the 4 digit postal code of Büdingen. Germany switched to 5 digit postal codes in 1993

[@sgtrock754]

Google lens could be your new best friend for identifying some of this lot

[@backfromburnout]

I think it will be! I have so much to learn here!

[@southernyankeeflipper5618]

I love google lens for items I don’t recognize. It works nice …Not 100% but close to 90% of the time it sheds enough light to figure it out.

[@sandy-sagerabbitvintage2681]

I can help solve somethings. 1. The lint shaver is great. gets rid of the pills on sweater. 2. the white bowel with symbols can be sold with the tarot cards. Used for telling fortunes with tea. 3. the santa and other heavy candle holders are from a company called Partylite in USA a candle company that had parties/sales in your home in the 90's. 4. Rouge Royale is an ashtray. 5. the record brush cleans the albums (should get a good price, in demand) 6 Goblet, look for a marking for , again sell with the tarot cards. 7. Dyson pottery may be for a candle. 8. The Madonna bra suits are candle holders that are missing the metal holders. 9 I think the cut glass bell shapes glasses are wine glasses that sit in an ice bucket. 10. the tile is a hot plate. 11. brass is part of a lamp 12. wooden nutcracker. 13. round tile is not a wall hanging, its a hot plate to protect your table from hot dishes. Hope this helps!

[@mrststreasures9628]

Well done

[@gaylewallace5860]

You’ve got people all over the world madly researching Mel🤣🤣

[@mrststreasures9628]

[@asabval]

Ok, so here are my thoughts. A Taro deck consists of four suits just like a regular deck of cards, each suit has 14 cards these are called the Minor Arcana. There are additionally 22 Major Arcana in every deck so 78 cards in a complete deck. Gobblet might also be known as chalice or grail. Villeroy and Bosch is a German ceramics manufacturer. Quality items, most likely some are very collectable. I am guessing that is a or coaster/tile to put hot items on, pots or oven dishes (sorry don't know the English word for it). I didn't quite see it but I guess that yellow glass cylinder is probably a candle holder, the hole should be on top. The 2 jingly bell looking things are a part of a candelabra, you are missing the foot. The wooden soldier I am pretty sure is a nut cracker. The glass with the ship is just a decorative piece popular, at least in Scandinavia, I remember seeing similar items but I don't know any more. Also didn't quite see it but that platter looking thing with the cork back might also be for a coaster for a hot pot or oven dish. Ittala is a well known Finnish glassmaker. Many of their items are very collectable and valuable. Also the 3 snowball looking tealight holders look familiar, I am not quite sure might be from Kosta Boda which are a Swedish company. Hope this helps. I am really loving this Vlog style day in a life videos 🙂

[@marktyler5156]

Hi, again, Mel. I've now watched the rest of the video ;o). The 'Rouge Royale' (royal red) is an ash tray, those tarnished brass 'bell things' were upside down. They are parts to make a brass candelabra.The unpainted soldier, looks like a modern reproduction of a Victorian Soldier Nut Cracker. Check all your glass before selling. Look out especially for the name 'Lalique.' world famous french glass. If you find one, Bingo! The brass thing with the shop tag is the burner part of an oil lamp. The main base and tall glass tube which encloses the flame are missing. The knob on the side increases or decreases the flame intensity. Sell the plaque with that design. It's unmistakably in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A famous scottish architech, who is world renound. Probably just a 'tourist piece' but still worth something. Hope that helps. good luck!

[@novascotiancelt5218]

[@marktyler5156]

I'm a part time reseller who buys and sells in different categories, who knows very little about a awful lot! Glad to have helped as so many others on here have. ;o).

[@amywatts2743]

The Villaroy and Boche thing looks like a teapot holder/trivet

[@leoninavictoria8024]

Those three round chrystal bases are holders for the champagne glasses (the ones that look like bells). Bases are for holding the glasses and keeping ice cubes.

[@KateyReads]

[@KateyReads]

[@ArtJourneyUK]

The yellow glass “paperweight”, looks like an art glass candleholder. Turn it over so the hold (for the candle) is at the top. The little brass thing with the knob (24:14) is a oil lamp

[@backfromburnout]

It could be a candle holder! It’s so pretty, my fave!

[@civiceagle6533]

Wooden soldier is a nutcracker. SY/0 is a pond boat made in england. The SY/0 I think refers to the size as you can get SY/4 and 6 which look larger. Brass piece towards the end of the video, I think is an oil lamp. Retro clock has french wording - translation 'I want your diamond and your love'. Poppa is Scandinavian, Good Value.

[@70sMixTapes]

Some of the things you didn't know .. the two tiles (Vileroy &) and (one with cork backing) are called trivets, and are used for putting hot plates on the table. The silver goblet could be pewter. And finally there was the bottom of an old hurricane lamp (with missing glass cover)

[@chandeliersattic2661]

Trivets yup lol. I guess people don’t use the kitchen much hahah

[@marktyler5156]

Hi, Mel. Those glasses without the feet are simply champagne toasting glasses for any special celebration. The glasses typically come with a glass vase container that they sit in. From the video the glasses look to have a ground design. These may be 'cut glass' 'crystal' if you're lucky, much better than 'moulded.' Hold the glass by the stem, upside down, and gently flick the glass with your finger. If it has a long 'ring' to it, you may have crystal. Which will be worth more! Good luck! Love the videos!

[@Marianne_C_O_Art]

The Rouge (Rooje - like the blusher) Royale is an ashtray but could easily be used as an incense holder. The 2 lovely green vases/jars look like they could be ginger jars so maybe keep an eye out for any lids in the other boxes. Also do some research on the brass stuff as some of the marked stuff is higher value.

[@signeknudsen8513]

Yes, you have a lot to learn. I've been thrifting hard goods for longer than than you've been around and I'm still learning.

[@backfromburnout]

It makes it very interesting learning about all this stuff. More time consuming then books but it’s interesting and I’m enjoying mixing it up

[@signeknudsen8513]

I think I learned the most by going to antique stores which would often describe the item on the tag or by asking questions about things I didnt know anything about. These days I watch resellers on KZbin and try to learn about things that came after my time, like video games. I started before the internet was a thing. I studied books like Kovel's antiques. I learned about antiquarian books by visiting bookstores and by reading Bookman's Weekly, studying the articles. Bookman's Weekly was a magazine (that came in the mail) where booksellers would list books they are were looking for and if you had the book you would send them a letter describing the book you had and quoting a price. If they wanted it, they would send you a letter and you would ship it to the book dealer who would then sell it to his client. It was a slower process then!

[@DoggyDogma]

The little wooden shelf with the crest is the crest from Trinity College Cambridge - Lion above 3 roses with a chevron. I suspect the bells are candle snuffers The green glazed pots might be ginger jars The tile is a pot trivet Tea Cup is for fortune telling

[@thelastkult1329]

Ah, you beat me to it! Yes, Mel, it's the coat of arms of Trinity College Cambridge, one of the oldest colleges in the UK, dating back to the 1500s. Personally I think that might be some kind of wall plinth or sconce, going by the patina on the top. Looks Victorian or older, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's from the college buildings somewhere.

[@crystallivas9376]

The teacup at 9:00 had me thinking (after the tarot deck) of witchy stuff, I'm thinking it's used for reading tea leaves! Interesting! The mystical items....very resellable

[@backfromburnout]

Yes so much of it has been very resellable!

[@nealsteptoe9162]

The little green jar that you thought might be a vase I think is a jar used to preserve ginger.

[@lisarobbins4929]

The cork backed circular tile item that you showed with the abstract design is a trivet. In American people hang them on the wall as art, but can also be used to put hot plates on. The brass item can be shined but people buy them here in America all tarnished for a Cottage Core look.

[@dumpsterdivingdebz]

They are bells 🔔 you ned to use google lens the soldier is a nutcracker the Villeroy & Boch is a Trivet or wall plaque.x

It’s going to be interesting listing them!!

[@GuineaPigStuff]

Mel you need to look up ' Chinese Green Glazed Gember Shekwan /Shiwa Jar ' The goblet looks more like Indian or Thai silver chalice vintage You have a lovely Collectable Australian Mid Century Dyson studio pottery float bowl ( It is not Aunt - it is Aust for Australia) The big soldier I think is for dispensing cigarettes/cigars The white and blue pointy things could possibly fit as candle holders - like in the metal bracket that you then found. Check for signature on the large crystal ornament with ship - check for matts jonasson. The heaviness is lead in the crystal. I think the round small candle holders are by Kosta boda Snowball votive holders Have fun!

[@ianjresells]

The Star SY/0 pond yacht 1950/60s looks in good condition, June Dyson studio pottery mark by the looks of it, Villeroy & Boch Noah's ark wall tile perhaps very good brand. The wooden soldier might be a nutcracker, that wood carved crest could be worth quite a bit, those glass bell things might be champagne flutes which sit in a cooled bucket. Love that yellow glass paper weight/candlestick holder thingy, that aqua coloured triangular retro alarm clock looks pretty cool too, looks like you got a lot of research to do Mel lol. I notice you're not wearing your safety boots in the shed, the last thing you want is for one of those heavy lumps of glass weights landing on your toes! Exciting video this one, unpacking all these hidden treasures!

[@itzcaseykc]

That was a nice Nutcracker figurine. I've got two small elaborately painted ones that my late wife and I picked up from a Goodwill store. They're pretty kewl.

[@backfromburnout]

They are very cool!!

[@cherrytreeblossom8475]

The round Dyson thing looks like a candle holder to me (for slim dinner candles). I looked up Dyson pottery and there was a Dyson studio in Gembrook Victoria run by June Dyson and her husband from 1959 to 1986 when June Dyson Suffered a stroke. My guess is it says Dyson Aust. for Australia.

[@pamwerren1458]

Hi, those 2 heavy glass candle holders are possibly made by Kosta Boda and called "snowball" - swedish design and good money.

23:25 That's a block/bud vase. Probably from either Nachtmann or Walther. Both vintage german crystal makers. The keyword for this is "Solifleur" 24:08 Oil lamp without the glass. It's got a tag. Read the tag. 24:33 Your clock is in French. Just google translate it. 25:21 Look VERY closely on the bottom edge of the crystal ship. (Use a magnifying glass) There may be an etched name there. Probably in Swedish/Danish would be my guess. 27:23 Art Deco Trivet You really really really REALLY need to use Google Lens for this stuff.

[@civiceagle6533]

The knight dish is possibly from Warwick, a historic city/town in the centre of the UK. It sounds like the Earl pf Warwick. It depicts a notable knight. The piece with it from what I could see could be a savoury pie piece. Possibly used when making a savoury pie to help to allow steam to escape the pie when cooking. These are often a blackbird. Key word pie steamer

[@sandrabentley8111]

Gosh Mel what a great haul that was. The guy had great taste. Don't overlook the frames, the guy knew what he was doing. Glass candle holder could be Hocking. Carleton Ware ashtray, could be collectible in tobacco category. Check if the goblet is sterling, minimum plate. That Dyson pottery piece could be worth something. Don't clean vintage items. Glass pointy things for old telephone wires? Check the crystal stuff for etched signatures on the base. Bird pot pourrie holder Taiwan. Villroy tiles do well, in box. Swedish stuff is good. Brass candle holders. So much good stuff! You go girl!

Villeroy und Boch is a manufacturer of high end ceramic stuff from Germany. They make everything from plates, cups and pots to toilet seats and sinks.

Sorry me again Mel, the wooden soldier is a soldier from the ballet Nutcracker, if you move his arms do his legs move? Normally they are highly painted.

[@lozzieburger]

Hi Mel, from a fellow Aussie! The red ashtray is Carlton Ware (that's the brand name), so you might want to add Carlton Ware into your title. I agree with the person who said the soldier is a nutcracker - maybe good to sell around Christmas. Hope this helps! Loz

[@backfromburnout]

I think I have sold the red ashtray but I still have the nutcracker waiting to list!

[@kayhollins4111]

Lead crystal - trivets (for something hot) - communion goblet - maybe french language on clock - nutcracker (soldier)

Hey Beautiful Lady, I've missed you!!! I have been off KZbin/Social Media for just over about a month. We were moving to our winter home in FL, first time we've done this "snowbird" thing. Trying to get set up and organized and some inventory here, oh my, I can relate to your move just a tiny bit. What an awesome deal on spending $200 and making at least $10k. You got some really unique things for sure. You could have used that lint shaver back in the day when you started and selling clothes. Those are bells for sure with the dinger missing, LOL. Maybe for one cigar (pink holder), Dang you got like a full set of Catholic Communion items. 😂😂😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 The Madonna Look!!! Oh I love the owls. Maybe I should do more books - make one home books and our other home vintage and random stuff, 🤣🤣

The wood soldier looks like a Nutcracker Soldier Ornamental. not seen one unpainted before.

[@lindadainard7629]

Hi Mel, I would check out the tall piece of lemon/clear glass piece, it might be a Murano piece that is only made in Italy, which could be very valuable. Good luck

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you! Would that normally have a special marking on it to say Murano?

[@lindadainard7629]

@@backfromburnout no marking or label because knockoffs copied labels. The bottom is usually finished in a circular smooth circle of glass, not pinched, good luck!

[@junkstorejunky8394]

Love watching your videos! You crack me up! 😁 I've been reselling for over 20 years and still learn something new every day! I'm in Texas so love your accent! Btw, those metal bell thingies at 20:16 and 24:00 I think go on a lamp (I think you had them upside down). I may be wrong but thats what they looked like to me. 😊

[@eowyn2.016]

Hi there, I might help you with some of the objects: your wooden soldier is a nutcracker. Those are very popular in Germany. Villeroy und Boch is an expansive German brand. It looks like a platter for hot things to put on, that you can`t put on the table directly, because they came strait from the oven. Oh, and the little painted duck also came from Germany an it is handcraftet. Hope that is helpful to you, Love your videos, kind regards Martina

[@backfromburnout]

Oh thank you!!! The duck is actually really beautiful.

[@gaylewallace5860]

You’re arm muscles must be great lifting all those boxes Mel. Great video as always. By the way do you ever sleep 😴

[@backfromburnout]

You would think so but it seems I just got fatter this year LOL too much time sitting and listing on my butt eating snacks LOL

[@rockchicavids]

Hi Mel, Those glass candle holders are definitely worth checking in to along with the glass boat sculpture. Villory Bosch is a great brand, definitely a trivet. Same with the round tile with the cork on the back. Those glass “bells” are champagne glasses. They usually come with a bowl or vase of some sort to hold them. That brass thing with the two “bells” is most likely part of a Candelabra. Maybe? Those glass cones I believe are candle holders but they are missing the metal holders. I am interested in that record brush. Let me know if you list it.

[@merridybenton7028]

Good luck mel. I think i would rather stick to books!

[@backfromburnout]

LOL but this is so fun!!

[@grandmaeh2035]

The tea cup with all the symbols inside may be for reading tea leaves. The wooden soldier is a Nut Cracker. Popular at Christmas time. The Denmark "candle holder" may be an egg cup for hard boiled eggs. The brass piece with the spikey things in the center may be the bottom part of a coal oil lamp. Missing the shade. DO NOT POLISH THE SILVER OR BRASS!! Just give it a dust and be done. Collectors want the patina. LOVE the show and tell videos. :)

[@kbal1451]

That abstract ceramic wall hanging is a clunnie ross art deco- glasgow rose, most of this stuff looks like it was hoardered in the '80s, so it's probably 80s reproduction.

[@barbarae6873]

Hi Mel, when you talk about what you make from sales, is this the amount after eBay fees and postage are deducted? I find the fees really have an impact on profit.

[@backfromburnout]

I’m just giving you the sales in the picking video as I do my actual bookwork stuff monthly. EBay fees are generally 15-17% depending on if you promote things. :)

[@ArtJourneyUK]

27:52 Rennie Mackintosh corked back coaster or pot stand. Might be by Pimpernel

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you so much!!

[@trentmarriott3473]

That soldier is a Nutcracker 🙌🏼😁

[@backfromburnout]

Ha ha, yes it is I should have at least known that!

[@chezraggz]

The Rouge Royale is worth money Mel. Good find.

[@gloriaprimeau7318]

That wood solder is a Christmas nutcracker

[@jmac1814]

First glass object you pulled out is a bell but it's missing the bell. Mom had one and hers was crystal so check that one out.

[@susanweeres7915]

The white round item with red that you set next to the goblet, could it possibly be a trivet?
