Used Everyday Kitchen Items Worth Big Money - Навчання та стиль
I sold 8 red Cutco steak knives for $300 paid .99. Sold 11 Pearl Cutco forks and spoons for $450 paid $2.00. I found all of them at the thrift store.
I've been selling kitchen items for years (blenders, food processors, percolators) but you just showed me I've only been scratching the surface. I never realized stainless utensils had any value. And I never thought of selling old faucets.
Know your LeCrueset cast iron folks. I found one of their wine cork pullers the other day for three bucks in the box. Trivets and spoon rests can be worth some dough too. I recently found a Fiesta ceramic spoon rest and I don't even cook really! Check out AP's other video on sharpening stones too.
Thank you so much for these BOLO items. These BOLO videos are my favorite reselling videos
I always check 3 overlooked places-kitchen, bathroom, and home office or computer area. Drawers, filing cabinets, sewing room too, always looking for smalls, can usually get a bagful for a few dollars, 'cause most people don't want to take the time to go through all of those little things that were hoarded or collected in a drawer, and there's usually decent money there.
Spot on video, thanks from Pittsburgh.
I watch all kinds of videos on this stuff and resell myself but your channel has the best information as far aa things I would of never guessed or looked at. As soon as I watch these I start looking around for the things you mentioned lol
Hello Don, I learn so much from you. Thank you . 😊
Don, you are bang-on about this category. Due to the passing of his parents, a friend of mine asked me to sell some of their house contents for him after their home sold. His mother kept the kitchen appliances in really good condition. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly they sold! Some tips: 1) if there is room in the listing title include the words "owner's manual included" OR "with instructions". 2) One or two of the items needed a little cleaning (e.g. coffee stains) so make sure you keep a roll of towel paper and some kind of gentle cleanser around 3) DO NOT use stock photos - take pictures of what you are actually selling - After all the item is used and the buyer should not have inflated expectations 4) Shipping can eat up profits so be careful about pricing and shipping costs. 5) Parts are valuable - as The Professor mentioned in his "lecture" - don't give up on them! List 'em and sell 'em! 6) BRAND NAMES mean a lot! Cuisinart, Kitchen Aid, Hamilton Beach, Black & Decker - This is just a partial list of brand names that are top of mind for buyers - use the name in the listing title AND the description to make the sale! Love the content - keep it coming. Wishing everyone success in selling!
One of my mottos is Under promise and OVER deliver.
Rarely do I put Excellent for condition. I usually put Good and describe in detail. Clear bright photos speak volumes. My customers are almost always complimentary on the product.
Fire king was manufactured before pryex, I inherited a handful from my mom, wonder how much they sell for.
@@mismatch6292 Fire King has some very collectible pieces! If you decide to sell them, be sure to check each one individually for comps ❤️
Hi Don, Just to give everyone and idea of how dependable and well-made a kitchenaid mixer is, I bought mine in 1980, in cobalt blue for $169/00. Not only has it been used regulargly since then, for about 15 of those years, starting in 1982 I had my own business as a professional cake maker/decorator. I started around 6 AM and would often not be finished for the day til midnight or oeven 2 AM. When I started I had a toddler. Every single day I made not only the cakes I had orders for, but also made 1-2 5 gal. buckets of frosting, so let me assure you, that regular household mixer was doing the work of a commercial mixer. I should have hired someone to do the grunt work, (making the buckets of frosting), but I've always been a perfectionist, and felt I needed to do it myself. after a number of years the demand was too great for me to keep up with, and I didn't have the storage. Aside from that, it was no longer fun and I was untterly exhausted. Finally I stopped. However, ever get together my family had. they'd be deciding who'd bring what, and before I had a chance to say a word I'd hear, "Well, Laurie will bring the cake". I no longer wanted the obligation, so the only way I could get out of it was to sell all my pans, accessories, etc. and tell everyone! I did keep my mixer, and honestly Don, I still use and have NEVER had to fix or replace anything. It still works perfectly. The only thing I've notice is that one of the little roundddddd grips on the botton had disintigrated, so I have to put something under that side. I should see if they sell those. My point is, Kitchenaid mixers hold very well, and for years that thing was running almost all say and night about 20 out of 24 hours a day/7days a week.
Amazing. Your determination is inspiring. I need to work more at my side selling.
Thank you 🙏 for you videos
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙏
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving !
I found an unopened box of Pyrex cookware from the 70s at a Goodwill, made great money on it and was one of the items that really got me into reselling.
Thanks for the video and information
Great advice
They need to close down China as a product maker of everyday items like this. Go back to how things were made properly, like all the items on here. They probably have a life span of 40 to 50 years or more rather than the China stuff that lasts about 2 years if your lucky. I get it why these go for the money they go for, quality will always outlive China rubbish. My daughter would absolutely love that Smeg mixer at the 15:00 mark, really beautiful just to even look at it. Really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you so much, Don. Charles in the UK
I totally agree!
Amen
Companies prefer planned obsolescence. Buy old, and repair.
Labor cost is much much cheaper in China that's why everything is being made there now....US$1.50/hour in China versus US$14.00/hour in USA, we can't compete, the lower the labor cost in the factory....the lower the price of the final product to the consumer.🙄
Actually that's happening as we speak.
When I have a clothing niche...you come along with this and I start wondering. I love kitchen stuff, just not ready on the knowledge end. I'll keep watching you. Thank you for your insight and expertise!
My father sold Salad master pots and pans back in the 1950's. I still have some of my mom's! Great weight stainless steel, lids still seal great!
This is a great video... these are items more easily to find.. which is very encouraging 🤗 thank you 🙏 DON!!!
excellent video. thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Some great ideas there Don, Thank You
Alessi Italy Corkscrews, bottle opener can be found at thrifts and sell for a great profit if your looking through bins of random kitchen utensils.
Corkscrews in general can sell for crazy money. We sold a Swiss one from circa 1910 for $1,000.
@@TheAuctionProfessor A hand strength style vintage corkscrew to open a wine bottle what what oh my gosh that’s so cool that you guys were able to do that. 🍷
Thanks Don, so glad I found your channel, 🙏🏼
Thanks for another excellent video and have a nice Thanksgiving Don
So so good. I got away from these items because I am not a fan of packaging them up. But will need to revisit for better money. Thanks again.
I’m going to start looking at the flatware and cutting boards! Always have passed those up! Learned much from this video!
As always , another great informative video!! Thanks!
Incentive video I needed to sell some kitchen items I have!!🎊🎉🎊🎉 Thanks Dom!
Great vid again!
Thanks Don! I absolutely loved the Dolce mixer! How unusually unique that is!
I love you don best info in the net the gold standard in case your wondering you are helping sir thank you
Great show
Good info again Don. Every time I find a estate sale On the last day of it. I make an offer for what ever is left in the kitchen. Which most of the time is a lot of stuff. Been doing great with older Sunbeam / Oster blenders. The top and glass blending jars bring good coin on their own.
Heck, I have an Oster blender from the 60's that still works. Wonder what that may go for.. lol!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Make sure the item has not been recalled, especially the food processors. Ebay may suspend you if you get caught trying to resell a dangerous blade (thus recalled).
I have to say that the idea that used Bread Bins sell is new to me. So I checked the eBay UK Sold listings and sure enough there they are, going for £30 - £50 regularly. I have (of course) been walking past these for years. Who'd have thunk it?
Ty
Tupperware is also a BOLO. I believe it has a lifetime replacement guarantee so even if you find something in bad condition it can be sent in to be replaced.
Yes for sure. I actually have a video just on Tupperware as well.
-BONUS ending! I love the vintage commercial . Omg
Great video, timeless knowledge. Thanks for all you give to this community professor.
Great Video, thank you Don!
Awesome! Thank you so much! 🙂
I empathize with your eye conditions.. I'm nearsighted in my left eye and farsighted in my right.. you're okay I'm new at this recent widow and I need massive help I'm up to my neck and millions of dollars worth of stuff I have no idea how to market
Great video. I enjoyed learning about what to look for in kitchens, thank you.
Thanks for your videos. The downside of learning this information is the realization that I've missed out on so many of these as I look around Goodwill stores. { face palm }
I love me some kitchen items. Usually an overlooked item at garage & estate sales. LA's Totally Awesome from the dollar store is an awesome product for cleaning dingy appliances.
I love toasters...❤️💯✔️
Thank You !!!, I know what to start searching for at the thrift stores and garage sales.
John, thank you so much for the information that I was not aware of. You seem to do this quite often and I am amazed at your knowledge. Again thank you for sharing
I meant to say Don but talk to text sometimes comes out wrong
thanks dear
Good information. Thanks for sharing. You wouldn't believe the people that throw old appliances in the garbage or give them to people that collect junk iron and other metal items to sell to a junkyard.
I've done really well with quality Pans. Copper and Stainless, Williams Sonoma. Casserole Dishes, Dutch Ovens. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Thanks so much for sharing.
Mauviel copper, Le Creuset, Club and Dansk might as well be made of gold for the prices they sell at. Agree with you 100%
Thank you!
I just got started with knives. A tip for my fellow newbies: look for handles that stand out. If they put an effort into the look of the handle they probably put effort into the blade. Also I've been covering my butt by putting 'may need sharpening' in my descriptions.
I also like the waterwise distiller. Bought one last month for$15 they sell used for$200 ,new for over$500.
I've had people in the stores ask me what exactly I have. Yes, I tell them.
Everything but the kitchen sink! 🤣
Man, you just motivated me to invest into the local community action even more 😅 thank you
Hi Don you are amazing I do need your help here in Australia I have almost bit of everything you are presenting in your videos ,great job very smart way and knowledgeable
Awesome content
My favorite section of the thrift store! Just wondering, why do the listings not say "Sold"?
New sub here. Great info ur sharing with all of us🤗 I be watchin u more. Already shared u out. Have great week!
Sir, I can see why you are called "Professor", I too have made money in this area of the house. In a similar fashion. But you slightly expanded my ideas as I was not aware of the cutlery aspect. However, I knew about Mixers & Blenders. I have watched 5 or 6 of your video's in the last month. Very good information. Simon. Invercargill, New Zealand.
I’m adding to my Dons thrifty list 😆
I sold parts of a MixMaster mixer after dropping it and breaking the lite attachment. Bought for $2.50 and sold within 4 months parted out pieces for well over $300 bucks (the mixing pairs of spinning attachments did the best).
My sales are coming back slowly but surely. I didn’t even do sell similar, the only thing I did different was check my listings and raise the price on most of them and sales started coming in. Who would’ve figured!
I learned it from your channel! Thanks Don
Don, another great video, thanks! I worked in luxury kitchen appliance industry for 8 years b4 Covid, and I've never heard of Smeg! Those are super cool! I've gotta look those up. Do you come across them in the wild often? I've never seen one before.
Can you please do a video on finding and reselling wrist watches?
hi there another great info video btw i did email you a few days ago on a topic
we just started watching you. We've been resellers for years, really to supplement our income. We are really enjoying your knowledge and professional approach. I looked, but did not spot one: Have you ever done a show on old matchbooks?
Nice stuff, I've yet to run into any kitchen appliances that sell for cheap enough money to make any sort of profit worthwhile. Knives go for a mint, appliances are priced right at eBay levels and anything new in the box gets an immediate lookup on eBay if there is no price. I am always on the lookout haven't seen anything yet compelling.
A toaster that excellently toasts bread? I’ve gotta find one for me!
Dualit....hard to find but they last forever, toast perfectly AND one can stick a metal utensil in it without the risk of electrocution.
Vitamix is much better than Blendtec for performance :). They both are good finds, especially containers. Owners buy extra containers all the time. With Vitamix, if you find a 32 oz dry blade, they are desired, as VM doesn't sell them anymore. The AER container also does well.
Cutco has good resell. Lots of thrift shops mark them for $1-2. Good money to be made there. They have lifetime warranties, so any issues, Cutco will replace, no proof of purchase needed.
Thank you for sharing! I have a kitchen processor made in Croatia and there are so many pieces. We brought with when we left Ukraine.
The voltage is different, so bought a transformer here. It is in great condition, practically hardly used it.it was very expensive at time.
Do you think I can put it on eBay and sell it since it is European, and if yes how I will ship it ? I only sell my home items: mostly cloth and ship it in the envelopes.
I like the way you explain things, you really like what you do.
Very companionate about your business. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I was not sure we can sell knives. I have all kind of knives.
1st someone alert the Ricky Bobby fan club 😂
🤔5:50 yeah I had to pause the video and go get my glasses because I couldn’t see it very well on my phone and I was shocked that hand blender was going for so much I actually really would like one of those but surprising on the pricing.
I’m a new sub. Thank you for your informative channel. I have a vintage silverware set that is Reed and Barton I think. They are in the original box. Any values?
You need to do a show on virtual pets
I'm kind of a knife nerd. I found out that my local Goodwill's are throwing all knives away unless they come in a complete set! Arrrrgh!
Check metal recycling centers.
Any tips on shipping knives? I have a 4 piece set that doesn't have a block or original box. I want the buyer to see I've treated the blade with care. Any tips would be greatly appreciated 😊
Save paper towel and toilet paper rolls, flatten them around the blade, wrap in bubble wrap after.
you make picking fun
The other item I look for that is home related not kitchen per se is vintage rain bird sprinklers…
I need that tall cake plate dome behind you !!) For sale ??
I've been thinking about trying to sell garage sale items to try to make a little extra. May I ask where do you sell your items?
👍✌️🙏
😉👍❤
Is there a year of Manufacture stamped on these devices?
I'm surprised you didn't mention coffeemakers.....drip, percolator, stovetop. Espresso makers can sell in the thousands. Many of the Italian companies like Saeco, Faena, and DeLonghi make home models that sell for huge money. Anyone who lives in a city with a big Italian population (My buying region is Buffalo/Toronto) will find them to be plentiful.
PS.....Dualit toasters and Waring "blendors" have a rabid following, too.
Hobart?
Good video! Listing titles in your video are small and hard to read especially if an unfamiliar vintage name - can you please say each of the names of these brands as you go thru these listings? Thanks!
Short review please
Where can I get my henckles knives repaired?
Look online some are covered by warrantee. They will guide you,
No wonder allu cutlery is missing
But why are these selling so high when you can buy a new item for less?
