This post is a little bit out of the ordinary for me. Most of the time, I am writing about how to make money with eBay. Today, I am going in a bit of a different direction. I’m about to tell you about what I’ve learned regarding other ways, besides eBay selling, [...]
About a week or so ago, a very nice lady emailed me asking what she and her siblings should do with a bunch of collectibles her Mother had collected over the years now that she had passed on. The listing of items she sent was like an estate sale dream. Lots of great old pop [...]
Looking for WWF VHS tapes? You are not alone.
Back when I was growing up, I was pretty into the whole wrestling scene. That was back in the late 70’s and into the 80’s. I didn’t realize at the time, but the whole wrestling thing was just about to explode commercially. Bruno [...]
It has been quite a while since Jimi Hendrix fans have had something new to talk about.
//
The Internet is abuzz with the release of the new Jimi Hendrix CD “Valley’s of Neptune”. Of course Hendrix died way back in 1970, but his legacy has lived on, to say the least.
He’s a great example [...]
I was looking around for a video today when I came across something that I just had to share here. The song is called Estate Sale and it is by being performed by Cheryl Wheeler. I had never heard of this song before, but when I watched the video, I found myself laughing [...]
My Secret Treasure Map
People love the idea of a good treasure hunt. What I thought I’d do today is give you a treasure map to help you out as you look to get some extra money in your pocket.
The good news is, the treasure maps I’m thinking of are a lot easier to follow [...]
Unimat Tools
There are some very devoted craftsmen in the world. Some work professionally and others keep it to a hobby, but they pretty much all want to have the right tools for whatever job they choose to do.
Unimat is a very popular brand on eBay. There are a variety of Unimat kits available. Some are [...]
If you like coffee and have been around for a while, you have probably owned a Farberware coffee pot at some point. If not, then your parents might have. This is the coffee pot I remember from my days growing up. I could hear it percolating in the morning and smell the fresh brewed coffee [...]
Well, I can’t say for sure whether or not this applies to everyone in the world, but eBay is working for me now. After a day eBay won’t soon forget, things appear to be getting back to normal. My search for Elvis that previously brought back zero results now brings back over 4,000 again. Life [...]
Are you wondering what’s wrong with eBay today? So was I. I knew something was up when I tried to look up some old Elvis memorabilia and eBay returned a big fat goose egg. Next I tried “vintage” and got zero results. It seems that eBay is experiencing some technical difficulties today (November 21). This [...]
I decided to start little experiment. I want to take all of the money I earned selling garage sale funds over a specific period of time, I’m thinking two months, and invest it in purchasing more inventoried to sell. As I sell the merchandise, I intend to keep on reinvesting in estate sale purchases which [...]
Wow. It’s a good thing this story didn’t hit right at the holiday season. It would have been turned into a made for TV movie. If you think you’ve seen it all, just take a look at the garage sale circuit. An 80 year old woman in Auburn, California was busted by police [...]
I’m one of those people who really likes to watch educational shows on television. If it is on Discovery or the History Channel, there’s a good chance I’ll stop to watch it. When I find antique collectibles related to science, they almost always catch my attention. That is how it was with lightning rod balls.
If [...]
Organizing garage sale merchandise doesn’t have to be all that complicated. There are a couple of very easy models that you can follow, or you can use something entirely different that works for you and your situation. Really, the key is to avoid making your shoppers work to find what they want. The easier it [...]
