      Too long? You can make your videos for at least two hours long lol. I have no knowledge of Transformers at all (bought my first Transformer last year, a Generations Studio Series (no.54) Megatron, which I got for a ridiculous price, because the toy store made a mistake lol), but I ordered recently a ''Hasbro Legacy Evolution Soundblaster'' (which looks exactly like that Soundwave), it can be evolved into a 1980s radio boombox, including with a cassette tape. Btw, that box with comic books was just insane! Incredible! Happy New Year to you, Anthony, your wife and your kids! Greetings from the Netherlands.

    There's always something sad and tragic about these people clearing out their collections. I think they are dealing with the realisation that all their efforts end with a crappy exchange of banknotes with a stranger.

      Hopefully one doesn’t come to the circumstances where you have to clear your stuff out because your dead azzed broke and need the duckets. This stuff is meant to be parted out on a one on one basis to buyers that are looking for a piece they want or have been seeking for ages. Knowing when the day comes and I part out my stuff somebody will display the stuff they bought from me just like I displayed happily after I bought it.

The House of secrets at a 4.5 grade sells for around 1k which covers most of the cost. That’s a purchase that will keep on giving for a while. Awesome pick up.

      @@Peni5Wrinkle Feh! I spotted a box of comics at a pawn shop priced at $800 and took it home for around half that. Mostly modern garbage but peppered with nice grade Silver Age Marvels & DCs and some Golden Age Dells including unbelievable hi-grade like-new Dick Tracy Monthly #3-4 and FC #96, all 3 from 1947-48.
      Most comic shops weren't buying anything, and the only things Austin's most reputable dealer would even touch were a trio of 1966 Marvels in spotless shape; a FF, a Cap America & a Thor which I got $100 for. I couldn't give him the Tracys for free! (Yes, I know dealers pay far less than individuals, but I had already reached the point where I just wanted to ditch stuff by then. You still get the idea.)
      As I understand: Essentially now that you can get reprints of everything both digitally and in print, people no longer collect full runs - only key issues which shoot into astronomic overpricing as everything else just kinda sits in boxes forever.

    Nice pick up I wouldn't usually go back and pay up for profit but if these things graded hit the thousands I feel like it's just right. You could see it was not easy for him to let it all go in the video👍💯

    I like these videos, and it's nice to see that he is being transparent and fair to the sellers. The only thing that makes me a bit sad is seeing people let go of things they collected and valued throughout certain periods of their lives. I have comic books and other items that I couldn't imagine selling a few years ago, but now I'm seriously considering it. It's not because I need the money, but because I know no one around me would be interested in or value them. Selling them might be a good way to ensure they are treasured in good hands.

    Can I ask a real question? Why did he let you take everything for an absolute steal if he knew the value of what he had was much greater? Genuinely curious

      Sometimes you just grow out of it or just not into a hobby anymore. If your really into Buying, selling , trading collectibles, your likely doing it as a full time hobby or as a business which takes up alot of your attention/time otherwise it becomes a bunch of junk that keeps taking up space in your home. The fella here even refered to it as junk.
      Priorities change and in the end they are collectibles, not precious gems. They may not have value to you anymore but they may be valuable to someone else so its not a huge deal to just get rid of it, take what money you can and let someone else enjoy it then maybe he uses that money to invest in somethjng else that he sees more value in. Notice though, he did not part with some things becuase they had sentimental value, they were the things he and his son shared. Not saying This is what happened here but maybe?

      It takes a lot of time and effort to sell things for anywhere near the going rate. Like months if not years of effort for all that stuff. Sometimes life smacks you across the face and forces your priorities to change and you may not have the ability to invest all that time into selling it all individually to get the most from it.

  • @ryangibbs577
    @ryangibbs577 Рік тому +1

    You are by far my favorite guy to watch on UA-cam. The type of things you pick up is what draws me in but the way you treat people is why I keep coming back. I'm trying to find a way to get myself out there & make connections with people. Living an hour away from any decent sized town does not do much for being able to find interested sellers.

    Love that you called your business an adventure, and stressed how much you value treated customers fairly and respectfully and gracefully. That's such a good mindset for anyone to have, both about the way one makes a living and about the way one exists as a human in society. If only those who run and work in big corporate businesses had the same!

    • @pendafen7405
      @pendafen7405 Рік тому

      1:59 my sis as a toddler had the set of those plush Teletubbies when they came out, she carried them around and chewed them and clung onto them so much they were barely recognisable from one another after a few years--i mean she totally mauled them. but that's the true main purpose of dolls & toys imo (no disrespect to collectors). iirc that line of Teletubbies were made quite big and firm though soft to touch, and their stomach plates crackled, so pretty much constituted the ideal huggable sensory doll design for very young kids.

    * Love watching you make deals with guys like that. So hesitant yet anxious to sell.. Was surprised that you didn't have spare cash after the deal was made. When you toss in Extra at the End, I know why I watch you. You aren't trying to rip people off.. Bless you . . If I had any of those You are the one I would want to deal with..
