I’m friends with a couple of estate sale folks and they pride themselves on resellers leaving happy. They know that we are their big buyers. And then collectors get a great deal too. We have a couple of ES companies that I won’t even go to their sales anymore as their prices are more than local antique store prices. It’s crazy. 😩
I understand, I think that happens in most markets! I know one in Florida I go to just to find one thing because it clearly bothers them that a reseller could find a bargain in their sale
George, you are a jewel of a person and a national treasure to us sellers!❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗 The men’s brown shoes with a black saddle are saddle oxfords, wing tips have a separate , somewhat decorative piece of leather layered on top of the toe of the shoe. I feel uncomfortable telling you that because I know NOTHING compared to you. I’m a 75 year old lady and I only know a saddle Oxford because I used to wear such a shoe to school every day until junior high. 😂 Love you George. 🥰❤
Oh that's right! I should've known that, I used to have to put ads for the shoe stores in the factory outlet center when I first started in the firm that had that business alongside their antique malls. I'm so glad you mentioned it, I want people to have proper information and I am always fine with being corrected, this is how we all learn from each other! Thank you
Estate sales ... My pet peeve when know it all humans go in and price everything retail ... There's an air of smugness about it ... George you're so good at dealing with it ... I usually say something I regret ugg
George you know I'm a handbag freak .... Just ask yvon..... if you ever ever fine one made of old telephone cords u get buy . Jocelyn found one n bought at goodwill store and I NEVER got over it .... hee hee
I want to be you when I grow up (I’m 36 with 4 children)😂 I started reselling about 2 years ago and I started with CLL and then Niche Lady, Kat, Tiffany and you! I honestly learn something new everytime I watch your videos! Thank you for your knowledge
Cool! CLL is what got me started on UA-cam, seeing her do it and have so much fun made me want to show what I do too. I'm fans and followers of them all, so glad you found me too! I'll try to share all I can about this cool old stuff and things I know about it to help you learn more, make more and have more fun
My dad wore wing tips all of the time for work. Brown pair and a black pair. He taught me how to polish his shoes and boots. I was pretty good at it and he'd brag about having a daughter who made his shoes look so good.
I have my mam maw s old bad is called 3/4 bed has headboard n footboard mattresses special made my brother dug out of barn was painted blk he sanded is solid oak . My goodness
OMGosh, You were out in my sister's area. She lives in Berwyn in one of the old Dutch style house neighborhoods. I understand that the goal of sales company is to make as much as they can for the owners, but they must know the primary customer is resellers. I'll never understand the pricing strategy. Everyone ends up waiting for the last day to take advantage of markdowns.
I love estate sales that you go digging in to find the treasures, but when they start talking about "I didn't want to sell that" but clearly on the floor for sale. That is a strange situation and puts a new look on the sale and not a very nice one either. Have a great day
I agree, she was a nice elderly lady whose daughter was helping her and they were doing it on their own (mistake), so I tried to be patient about it...but it isn't a good thing to do when a customer has found something you overlooked...if it's really important to you, don't leave it out!
Looked like your last stop was a good one, It gave you a Big Smile. I know this is a business, but I can tell you like checking things & places out. They used to have some really good estate sales around me, but sadly not much anymore. I don't sell things, I just liked looking for things myself & others needed/wanted, etc. That was the fun part. Have a Happy & Better New Year !! :~)
Hi George, The prices at company run estate sales really bug me these days. They think they are antique stores! I hate it when I hear them talk about Ebay prices and think they should charge the same. I’m sure the estate owner hopes to make some money, but don’t they actually want to unload their stuff?!
I am old school and think the job is to unload as much as you can for the fairest price (to buyer and seller) as possible in as short a time as possible! By leaving some meat on the bone for resellers, I get a ton of people who then buy all the other stuff in the house, instead of cherry pickers and collectors who buy one thing and leave the boring household goods (that usually add up to half the take at a sale).
Loving your videos George!!! just wanted to mention if people are only watching you on their TV that would explain I haven't found a way to respond on my TV but when I get on my phone and watch. I can no problem God bless you in the new!!! year
Thanks for the fun video. I've kind of given up on going to professional estate sales because I find that the prices tend to be full-on retail. I'm starting to avoid flea markets even because the prices have gotten so high -- yes, even flea markets. So, that just leaves me to check out the odd yard sale and my favorite low-priced thrift store. Those places still get me into plenty of trouble with my wallet!
I think it really depends on the market and who's holding it, as this video eluded to in part...I'm sorry to hear that about your market, I am seeing price creep in some areas of the country, depending on the venue.
I did find things but it took digging...these estate sales that price everything retail and hope to sell a few pieces to collectors really don't make sense to me because they miss the chance to sell a ton to the first (busiest) wave of shoppers when they could. Lots of people won't come back later even if it's discount day
@@TheAntiqueNomad agreed...angers me so why go back? Thankfully I'm a kitchen and dishware collector....Less demand for those items so I usually have good choices.
The first sale made the mistake a lot of people who are new to estate sales make...they think they should get eBay prices that they're seeing when they research the items because "that's what they're worth" without understanding that eBay involves shipping and hassle that are the tradeoff for reaching an international audience
That is awesome! I'm excited to show you lots of cool things about antiques and vintage, please comment and you're welcome to join us M/w 8pm eastern for chat/premieres of new videos weekly
I did! So did Tiffany @thriftingvegas, Danni @TheNicheLady has already put out two of hers but will have her The Good Stuff reality show on her channel this Monday. Mine will come out sometime next month, I take a little bit to process and catch up
Hi George💝 Proof you have to keep digging and looking for a treasure that's in our " I want to buy and I can still make something price range." Unless I am keeping it for myself then I will reach a bit further into my pocketbook🤗 taking some of Alsip Illinois with ya. Happy New Year🥳 Safe Travels
Exactly! They priced a lot of it hoping collectors would come, but I know from experience that the dealers come early to estate sales and they won't bother to come back if you overprice. I'm sure that sale had a lot left for half-price day
I've recently over the last yr started collecting mushrooms so if you run across some of any kind that are reasonable on your travels then please grab them for me I'd love to buy some and take them off your hands.. thank you for all you do George ❤️
Good evening, George! There were some nice, quality pieces at the first estate sale, but they were a bit too new, and the prices seemed a bit more antique shop price. I did like the look of the studio pottery wine glasses. Of course...me and my beverage set fixation 😂 Why are studio pottery pieces passed over so often? Some of it is actually really nicely done. I liked that carved sick call crucifix. I have quite a collection of crucifixes, but nowhere to hang them. That was a fun video! Thanks for the take-along! Have a Happy New Year!!!
I really appreciate that you collect beverage sets! If I ever have the pleasure to be in your area, I would love to chronicle them for other collectors to learn. I hate passing on good studio pottery, but there's so much that I only buy what I can identify. The crucifixes are something I always get when I can, they pit into odd spaces...and are strangely popular with Japanese buyers in Seattle! Happy New Year, I took a lot of Dr. Pepper pix today so stay tuned
@@TheAntiqueNomad I do like the beverage sets, but they take considerable real estate to display them. It would be super-fun to have you chronicle my beverage sets! I think there are upwards of 50 sets here now. Most are full-sized sets, and there are a few miniature/child's sets. I think it would be fun to research some of the studio pottery. There could well be some "sleeper" pieces today that will "wake" in the future. A collection of it could be quite beautiful, too, if really good pieces were chosen, even if they weren't by well-known makers. I used to have, in that large house I had, a wall devoted to crucifixes. There are a few hung here, but no room to hang all of them. Some of the ones I have, I bought the corpuses at thrift stores, then made the crosses for them. Uh-Oh...am I going to want to go broke with the Dr Pepper stuff? 😅
I stopped going to estate sales in my area b/c prices are usually retail or above. I understand the estate sale management wants to make money for the family, it’s just a bummer for resellers like me.
Most of the estate sale companies around me price like that. They price full retail (sometimes more) on the first day. That's why I almost never go until half price day.
You and everyone else! I just don't get that strategy. At my sales, we do 70% of the business on the first day because we create a frenzy where people buy way more because it all seems like a good deal...which means we don't leave a ton of unsold merchandise at the end
Something you said struck me. You said these are retail prices. This is not a retail store. In my area the estate sale companies have houses where they stash stuffnthat didn’t sell in houses and then call it an estate sale. They kind of run it like a store with a once a quarter sale. It seems in my opinion that would be the best way to make money off a losing bet. I don’t mean to offend or say that i is wrong. I think it is still a good deal for people with limited funds to recycle perfectly good household and collectible stuff. Like me!
I agree! Retail prices are for retail stores. When I do an estate sale, I price the things to sell from the house to people who are there...considering eBay takes a percentage and then the seller has to package and ship and pay postage, it really makes no sense to price things too high, you aren't ultimately making more money on the average household item or moderately valued collectible!
I always made the mistake of going to the main rooms and missed out on the basents. The buyers down there were mean and kept all their areas closed off from everyone else. Never any fun
I'm sorry to hear that! Sometimes the client puts the things they're keeping in the basement and wants it shut off. If a buyer at a sale tries to block me, I just say, "Excuse me" and barge right past them
When I hit estate sales, I glance around the main floor and then head to the basement where the bargains are. After the basement, I checkout the kitchen . Why did you pass up the 75 cent piece at the beginning of the video? Was there damage you saw and didn’t point out? Remember in Michigan we have estate sales all through the week. And if you are ever in Grand Rapids you can walk through my house and fill a basket! I am serious.
I think that's a good strategy! Michigan has good estate sales and they seem to price to sell. I would love to see you in Grand Rapids, maybe in 2023! As for the 75 cent piece, I honestly don't see anything in the beginning of the video priced that cheap...if it was a Lladro it was $75
They're training people to wait until the end, which means the people holding the estate end up bundling and being desperate! I don't get that strategy
I have ticket stubs and the program for the film Knute Rockne, All-American , The film premiered in 1940 in South Bend. , Indiana. Do you think the have any value? If they do have value, should I put them in an album or leave them loose?
If you have the original South Bend premiere program, then you would have some value for certain! They're worth a little even if not though. If you use albums, don't use the ones that hold things in with sticky surfaces
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you, George! original program and it’s in really good shape. I have it in some protective paper. I will not put them in an album. I’ll let you know what happens.
I think the sellers at house #1 thought they'd try selling to collectors at full price. I think they will find that was a losing strategy and that the pieces didn't sell until discounted to estate sale prices.
I can’t believe you don’t have a million subscribers. You are amazing
Well please tell your friends! This is all by word of mouth so your support means everything
I used to polish my dad wing tips for 25 cents a pair
A nice memory. 25 cents bought a lot of treats when I was a kid.
