    I live in England and my now 19years old son has x10 star wars space ships vintage things & figures, I got them when he was 9years old, they are from the 90s & I paid £70.00 & got them valued a few weeks later & they are worth over £300-£350 , he still has them up in the attic as no one is allowed to play with them.

    You can use oil to remove stickers, specially the ones on planstic packaging. Just wait until the oil penetrate the sticker, and you can remove it easily.

    • @propicker
      @propicker  2 роки тому

      Basically soak it in oxyclean and water in a mixing bowl. If it was new with tag wrap the cardboard tag in plastic and hang it off the side.
      Let soak overnight and then dry it in a window. I would recommend this for hats that are utterly filthy and you're willing to take a risk on. I'm not sure this is 100% safe to do in all circumstances or anything so don't get mad if this kills a hat in the future.

      Make sure who you are buying for is looking for a ps4 and not the new ps5. As far as a ps4 getting one with a larger hard drive is always worth it as they fill up quick. The PS4 pro is basically a more powerful ps4 and may be a good option as well.

    Why not send a copy of your video to goodwill so they can raise their prices accordingly. Here in Kentucky they have started to raise some of their prices after viewing UA-cam videos. While I thank its great that you’re making money flipping and sharing it online but it causes prices to raise and causes problems for collectors and others to buy items at normal prices. Plus there’s the fact that goodwill doesn’t understand grading items such as records so they will price it at the inflated price with out concerning themselves as to condition! I have learned a lot from viewing your channel but have no desire to enter the world of flippers way to much work!!!!

    What I don’t get is if you’re making so much money how come you can’t afford a home with a basement or better room to store your things? If I was lucky enough to make what you do I’d pay my medical bills and take my poor husband who takes care of me on a long needed vacation we haven’t had in fifteen years. I watch you to learn, but I never get lucky on anything. I’m sitting on antiques I Know are worth ten or fifteen thousand but no one is credible enough in knives to tell me what I have. I did sell a Skagel knife for $10,000 so I was lucky once in my life five years ago. These knives I have are in the same boat but can’t find an expert. Anyway, ty for the videos.

They see what you really pay for the items you sell, because you make a point of bragging about how much you're going to make on a $4 dollar purchase! You should be ASHAMED of what you're doing!!!

      Kim, I truly hope you aren't this judgmental in real life. People are getting a fair price when I sell to them. They pay market price for the convenience of being anywhere in the country or sometimes in other parts of the world and being able to click and have it at their doorsteps in a few days.
      My time, labor, knowledge, ecommerce professionalism, occasional business losses, packaging, returns, etc all have to be factored in as well. It's not just a 4 dollar purchase and bam instant profit. You should be ashamed for being so judgmental Kim when you are clearly not educated on the topic.
