READ THIS FOR AN UPDATE! This video gets traction occasionally and people are passionate in their responses - negative and positive. It was my first time buying this many pops and the fact that they were out of box added an extra element of uncertainty. Let me give some context after a year and a half. 1. The video did well so that’s good. 2. A few pieces sold quickly for an ok return. 3. I quickly grew tired of the research involved for each individual piece only to find that many were not worth the time. 4. I have over 90% of these left after a year and a half. 5. Im finally to the point of pricing them for $1 a piece (barely above breaking even) and placing them in my little booth. It’ll probably take a year to move them all. 6. It was a good learning experience. Do I regret the buy? No. Like I said, the video did well and it was fun at first. Would I do it again? NO! I, like the original seller, would not want to again attempt all the work involved to maximize the potential of each individual piece. Also, I would not be excited by a purchase like this and I only like to share the experiences I’m excited about. Cheers!
Also bro good information that you need. When viewing pops at all if they have a "A376" or anything to that notion, it's a faked pop. I noticed that immediately on the bottom of Freddy. Real Funkos correspond with a box code imprinted in the bottom. The numbers are located on the foot or back of the neck on some pops. If you need pics or more information, I'll be glad to send it over.
Hurt my soul a little knowing he was selling something he collected and had so much passion for that’s the sad part about collecting it’s not like it goes with you to your casket might as well sell it before you can’t
@@lordreaper7569 Yeah. He was probably slightly pained about selling those. I know the feeling. I'm still holding on to stuff that I really shouldn't. They seem like really nice individuals. Good deals and willing to spend energy to inform about the figures.
I thing the young guys between 25-35years know most of these characters, I myself would know at least 95% of them and I am not really into horror movies, I just know these guys. It usually stuck to you when you like video games and movies. I see lot of overwatch stuff, five nights at freddy's, deathwing, marvel stuff - thanos, capa, pixar inside out, baymax, cthulhu, dragonball - Natsu, Jack Skellington, Asuna, borderlands, and so on, also it might be due to a fact I am kinda nerd
I have all my Pops out of box and on display cause i just think they look cool and yeah enjoy them as you say. Not goimg to sell most of them so why not enjoy them 🙂 Still have the loose boxes in storage though. The boxes actually make a great makeshift row of stands on a shelf to put the pops on cause they are the perfect height
I used to display mine out of the box, but I got sick of them falling over, so I just put them back in their boxes. They are a lot easier to display that way imo.
I keep them in the boxes but alot of the boxes are opened cause ill use them as decorations. For instance i had a massive empty spot in my pc case, so i put a couple of my funkos in there
@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive Yea, but a lot of the cheap ones like funko pops don't have very good bases, so it's a lot easier to display them in their box.
My son messaged with this seller the night before, But since we were coming from Bloomington, by the time we arrived, the funkos were gone! Now we know who got there first!! Love your videos glad you got them!
Yo so many limited edition stuff and they just sold it that cheap. God damn it, luckily it was bought by this youtuber and not some people who doesn't know the value of these stuff.
I had over 500 funko , and without the box, doesn't worth much, except specific piece, like the genie from Aladdin , lotso from toy story , Dorothy from Wizzard of oz , even withoutthe boxyou can't get full price
@@maxschmidt666 This is how I see it too. I'll never understand why people collect things that are specifically mass produced and marketed as "collectibles". They will never be worth anything substantial because everyone and their mothers is collecting them and holding onto them, hoping they will increase in value. Things gain value over time due to rarity, and often that rarity exists because not many people thought to keep hold of them. Mint boxed copies of the original World of Warcraft are rare and valuable because not many people at the time thought it would become the biggest MMO of all time. Not many people decided "I'm not going to open my copy of this game I just bought". It likely happened by pure accident. Truly valuable collectible items happen organically. You can't mass produce items with the intent of them being valuable collectibles. It just doesn't work like that.
@@arstulexTrue value is what each person finds valuable. I say let them collect to their hearts content! To each their own. Everything is worthless anyways. Without one to give it value.
@@suibora When we're talking about a _market_ then value is what the market decides. Which in the case of mass produced 'collectibles' like Funko Pops is low. What you are referring to is _sentimental value,_ which is completely different. Your Funko Pops might be worth $100 each to you for whatever reason, but it doesn't mean you can reasonably expect to sell them for that value.
@@suiborayou’re just excusing capitalism taking advantage of ppl so much money for plastic that could have been invested, paid of debt or pay for a nice vacation
The suspense was killing me! I was actually saying out loud, "Just pull the trigger already and make an offer for them all!" I was worried someone would swoop in and beat you to it.
This reminds me of a yard sale I went to 20 years ago. I collect antique bottles. Buying them one off can be expensive especially if you buy them on E-Bay. At the time I had around 150 of them and had recently started buying small collections of them and would pick out a few for my collection then resell the rest and make a small profit. This is a good way to collect anything if you are on a budget. So I get to this yard sale and they had about thirty on a table priced at $1 each. Three of them I recognized as bottles worth closer to $5-$10 each and already had many that they had but the price was really good. So I asked how much they wanted for the lot. The guy scratched his head and said "Well I got hundreds of them in boxes out back. Think you might be interested in the whole lot?" He too me to the back yard behind his garage and he had more than hundreds. A quick count of just three cardboard boxes showed there was an average of about 80 bottles per box. He had 32 boxes. I asked what he would take for the whole lot and he asked if I would go $50. I pulled out a hundred dollar bill and handed it to him and he said he couldn't make change and I told him if he helped me load them he could keep the change. We got my van all loaded up and I could see his excitement in getting rid of them. I could see his wife was even more excited. She told me my purchase was more than they made selling everything else combined at it was the end of the second day. It was months before I had an exact count. Every one of them had been dug from a 19th century refuse dump in New England. The total topped out at over 2500 bottles. Roughly 1100 were worthless to any collector. Most had some sort of damage or were too plain or common. Many had some sort of decorative value so I advertised that entire lot for sale on Craigslist and waited. Three weeks later I got a call from a prop master who wanted to look at them if I promised not to clean them. He came by that afternoon, took one look and offered me $200. That was the junk. I then went through them for ones to add to my own collection. That came to about 230 bottles which more than doubled the size of my collection. Some were quite rare and a few were valuable but I would not part with any of those and still have them. I then went through the rest and grouped them in 27 lots of 25 bottles, 41 lots of 10 bottles, 9 lots of 5 bottles and 39 single bottles. It took me three years to sell them all and ended up clearing a little over $3900 on eBay. That came to a total of $4100 or almost exactly $4000 profit. I spent roughly 200 hours between the time it took buying them and taking them home and the time I spent sorting and photographing and listing then packaging up and shipping everything. So roughly $20 an hour net. Not bad. At the time I was earning $17 an hour at my job. Plus more fun than operating a machine.
Good deal! At least you saw the potential in them. Most people just chuck out old bottles. (Which confuses the hell out of me, since I go dig them up!)
My grandparents used to love garage sales. The deals were one thing but every once in a while you’d stumble on an awesome haul like this. I lost both of them during covid without being able to say goodbye. Love you grandpa and grandma. RIP.
The kid at the front of the table was awesome. The moment you mentioned horror video games he went to town, and he was super respectful too. Great exchange all around.
I‘m addicted to your videos, it gives me so much inspiration to go through what I have in order to sell and to look for interesting things to buy to sell on. Keep up the good work! Best Regards, Doug
I like how they just kept trying to get rid of stuff. "here take this movie... here is some small figures... look another movie." *Just puts it in your hands*
Well he did say he was looking for horror stuff 🤷🏼♀️ I would just call that good customer service- esp at a garage sale that they helped him find what he was looking for
Selling them is a pain. Have A Captain Marvel I'm literally handing away because I just wanted the stack (listed for 3 dollars) have people messaging me demanding more pictures, condition, bla bla then they ghost me...... I also have a lion King one where I'm selling at retail and eating the shipping cost, people still messaging me offering me like 20 bucks.....
Well, would have about 150 bucks for 3 or 4 figures so not really that much effort and then just auction bundle the rest all in one big box with bubble.
Dang I always wanna go to yard sales but I get hefty anxiety. This was a GOOD yard sale, the horror funko pops were AMAZING!! I screamed when I saw them lol. You definitely have a gift for finding these sort of sales. & you’re so nice to people too, your channel is genuinely interesting to watch !!
I feel sorry for the collector who sold these items... I know he loved them so much. But im happy to see this kind of video. It worth my time to see beautiful toy items collections esp the popular horror characters. 👍💕👍
Life happens. High school kids grow up being more interested in sports, entering the workplace where money becomes more prioritized, or becoming more engaged in their social lives (like going to college, or finding a new hobby which involves more stimulation). Eventually, this just becomes clutter
Those guys were cool because they were knowledgeable and passionate about the movies and characters. It's fun to talk to people who like what you like.
As a Funko Collector that was a super deal, even for out of the box. In the box, it would have been crazy! I say usually 40% of in-box value in general from the PPG or Funko App price. These would be fun as a Live Whatnot Auction.
Don’t know how I got here, not a fan of Funko, not a toy collector, I don’t even go to yard sales... and yet I watched the whole thing and had genuine joy because you’re just such a pleasant guy. Amazing. Thanks! Sending you lots of love.
Now these are the people I like to see, respectful of the stuff they pick up. I see some people looking for deals and they toss things around and drop them whenever they change their minds about the item.
$2 each / $4 for the bigger ones I was getting worried you wouldnt be able to grab enough of them in time. Thats an amazing deal personally honestly. Would have picked them all up myself too
As a collector myself that was a very fair deal. Sometimes you kina wanna get rid of the whole lot for a good price. Everyone's happy at the end of the day! Buyer, seller and us viewers.
I almost lost my mind with the Funkos, $2 each 😭😭😭 The little GIR on the edge is so cute and so rare!! Invader Zim fans buy any merch they can find because of how rare IZ merch is in general.
Been a fan for years but lost touch for a while. Rediscovered you and my insane passion for pop-culture collecting ❤ really love your posts. thanks froggy
Thank you for sharing your garage sale adventures. My mom started me on garage sales in the 1960s. We continued until she became bed bound. We would watch your channel until she passed this June. Still watching...
No trying to rip people off or low ball everyone because he thinks he is smarter. When he wants a better deal he quietly and gentlemanly asks, always showing respect.
Awesome pick up. Personally, I stay away from loose Funko pops if I don't intend to keep them. For me they are really hard to move fast loose, but if you are patient they do eventually sell. Great video !!
Its so interesting to see all the things people sell. I think we enjoy seeing people make profits from buying to selling like this. Money is good content lol
I feel bad for them honestly, It wont be such a big collection unless someone really like it and spend time to collect it, they probably have to sell it for some reason.
Your knowledge of these things is very impressive, I love watching it. And how you always seem to find so many great things among all the "junk" (in many peoples's eyes)
I feel so sorry for the owner 😢 he must have been collecting them all for years. I don’t understand why he was able to let it go with such a very low price 🥺
Sometimes you just want to get rid of things. I've spent hundreds of Euros for books just to sell them years later for 2-5€ per book. It's hard but sometimes necessary
@A Ng only you think of it like that. Everyone has that inner child inside them, no matter how old they've become. So what if he collects what you call "toys" at least he is happy with his life. Pretending to be matured while being miserable inside is worse. I pity your partner and male siblings and even father for having someone like you in the family who thinks toys are only for kids
Each to his own collecting, if it brings you joy, happiness and learning, you are respectful in your negotiations never lose that. Nice video, keep up the good work
I can feel the sadness in the guy with white hoodie! Thats pure pain! 😁 i can still remember when i decided to sell my anine action figures collection, i still regret it up to this day! 😭
Why? Its plastic you look at...these Funko things will be worthless like beanie babies in 10 years...so many people willing to buy plastic junk made in China...then China buys all the land
Wrong and ignorant comment. people said the same thing about Pokémon cards and look how much that hyped up over the last year, some of the rarest funkos can be up to $5000
@@jazzajazza1660 Right, the rare ones will always be valuable like the rare beanie babies still are...same with rare Pokemon cards and Funko's...The collectors market will be similar to Beanie Babies however, and not Pokemon... that's where you are ignorant comparing the two. Pokemon as a brand continues to draw in young fans as well as older fans who grew up playing and collecting... Funko's however will see collectors drop off like they did Beanie Babies....If I had a choice between a 5000$ Funko vs 5000$ Pokemon card, I'd choose the Pokemon card because the Funko faze will die out like BB, but Pokemon will probably still be popular many generations down the line.

@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind why people collect those things
you did the right thing for your business future,, years ago I bought 26 wooden doors for $20,,, before I left the auction I sold 2 doors for $20,, 15 years later I just sold the last door from that lot between $20-30 each,,,$ 500+ over time
This is a great lesson in why you need to bring the initial cost as low as possible, it’s probably going to take hours of research, and time, and shipping costs to sell these things so afterwards the cost per piece will be well above the deal made in the beginning. I feel like a lot of people that are new to reselling don’t understand this concept.
@@JasonChowTV I believe they make quality items and a fan is always a fan. That there is already a good thing. Retired items oob is cheaper so many will watch for it. Honestly you can always make money back if you've only bought it for a dollar. Wholesale prices!
“Not an educational channel “ Well it has certainly been for me since I stumbled upon you a few months ago. I love your content and your sweet family. I always look forward to a notification and a new video from you!
My children and I have been collecting Funko Pops for a little over a year now, we currently have over 300, all boxed. I'm so jealous youse live in America and it's a bigger thing over there compared to Australia, the garage sales like this would be amazing. Whilst it's definitely growing in popularity here, it's surely not as prevalent like the US. Good pick up mate! 😍
just started watching your channel Froggy but really enjoy the calm atmosphere, kind conversations with nice people and the camerawork and nice midwest weather makes it feel like the viewer is taking a nice stroll through a neighborhood on a nice day. Thanks for the videos.
@@trel4504 I'm not a reselling nerd but I overall dont reccomend taking them out just to keep them save, also saves them from dust. if you do take them out then at least save the box lol
I love your son's reaction to the five nights toy! I remember getting the " ok, I love you" from my littles too. Congrats on a fantastic deal, my dude!
Great video, I don’t know anything about Funkopops, but it always fun to watch someone get a great deal. And I think your approach of thinking of it as a small business stocking their inventory is a good one. I hope they’ve all sold by now and you’ve made a great profit.
i didn't really feel like doing exact math but just guessing around, every funko is $10 retail on average, $30 for the big ones, probably almost 200 of the small ones on that table, and a decent amount of big ones, probably safe to say if these were all in boxes, the table would be worth around $3000 retail, not including the ones that go up in value and you got them for $170, amazing deal! Edit: i commented this before your commentary at the end of the video, and i pretty much repeated what you said lol
Not sure if you've heard of it but there is an app call 130point you could use to check comps. It will pull up all eBay sales and what bids and offers went for. Just throwing that out there just in case you've never heard of it. I use it for sports cards.
Very new to this garage sale stuff being from the UK. Love that this one is more of a long term sale than quick flips! :) I love this channel! Honestly, every video is so fun to watch.
i used to be a pop collector, some of those pops outside the box are easily worth between 30-50! the whole lot for 170 is a steal considering that they sell for $4-5 average without the box.
there is a funko app that does all the work for you on in box pops. as a general rule out of box pops are about 40 percent less than in box. I would use that as a starting point
Very good video. I know absolutely nothing about pops. My take was how nice the kids/teenagers were. The kids are alright. Thank you for taking us along.
Man, you luck out on garage sales. Everytime I go, it's all junk lol All those horror funko pops are sick! So jealous of all the scary stuff you found! Also, I was screaming at my screen "you missed Jigsaw right up front!" But then you grabbed him and I was so relieved lol
I don’t collect them but my son is obsessed with horror character dolls. Knowing how rare it is I was left spending $50 on just collectible action figures of his favorite killers. This would have been a huge deal for me my kid would have freaked if I got all those killers.
Nice score - you been popping up on my feed - I see your getting lots of views - been doing UA-cam last 2 1/2 years - nice to learn from others that do reselling and UA-cam - thanks.
I love Pops!! I can’t get rid of them though. Lol!! I finally got rid of two this week. I just donated them though. You either love them or hate them. My favorite horror one is Scream. He is just so cute. I put him out every Halloween!!!
READ THIS FOR AN UPDATE!

I would like to know if you still have some dragon ball funko pops that you would like to sell. I might consider buying them
I would definitely want to buy all those fnaf funko pops if your son didn’t want them lol.
Have you got that super brains still? Or any overwatch pops I would be interested if you still. Have some

This was such a fun comment thank you for sharing your story!
Sweet story!
What a cool story
Cool story man
Good deal! At least you saw the potential in them. Most people just chuck out old bottles. (Which confuses the hell out of me, since I go dig them up!)
My grandparents used to love garage sales. The deals were one thing but every once in a while you’d stumble on an awesome haul like this. I lost both of them during covid without being able to say goodbye. Love you grandpa and grandma. RIP.
The kid at the front of the table was awesome. The moment you mentioned horror video games he went to town, and he was super respectful too. Great exchange all around.
Your son being like “okay... love you” is adorable and relatable.
He knows the POP figure isn't real -- he knows it's not real in the dark, too.
@@johnathantaylor5913 what?
@@_SWFB literally what the kid said
I‘m addicted to your videos, it gives me so much inspiration to go through what I have in order to sell and to look for interesting things to buy to sell on. Keep up the good work! Best Regards, Doug
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!
@@FroggyFlips No problem mate!
I like how they just kept trying to get rid of stuff.
"here take this movie... here is some small figures... look another movie."
*Just puts it in your hands*
Well he did say he was looking for horror stuff 🤷🏼♀️ I would just call that good customer service- esp at a garage sale that they helped him find what he was looking for
@@candicecart9786 or a selling trick like be as pushy as possible
@@impulsiveurge5837 bruh it was a yard sale lmfao
I wonder why those guys didn’t sell them themselves online as they seem to be knowledgeable about them
They couldn’t be arsed probably 😂
Selling them is a pain. Have A Captain Marvel I'm literally handing away because I just wanted the stack (listed for 3 dollars) have people messaging me demanding more pictures, condition, bla bla then they ghost me...... I also have a lion King one where I'm selling at retail and eating the shipping cost, people still messaging me offering me like 20 bucks.....
True. Though, it can be a real pain selling all of those online. Sometimes, you just gotta sell it asap in a garage/yard sale.
Well, would have about 150 bucks for 3 or 4 figures so not really that much effort and then just auction bundle the rest all in one big box with bubble.
@@Sydonia108 it's much harder to sell them without the box still.
Dang I always wanna go to yard sales but I get hefty anxiety. This was a GOOD yard sale, the horror funko pops were AMAZING!! I screamed when I saw them lol. You definitely have a gift for finding these sort of sales. & you’re so nice to people too, your channel is genuinely interesting to watch !!
I feel sorry for the collector who sold these items... I know he loved them so much. But im happy to see this kind of video. It worth my time to see beautiful toy items collections esp the popular horror characters. 👍💕👍
Well he said he's glad to have them getting rid tho. Prolly hes got new stuffs interested in.
i feel sorry because he couldve sold some of those for 20 or more dollars.
Legalised robbery.
@@glennquagmire34 he probably didnt have time for that my guy
Life happens. High school kids grow up being more interested in sports, entering the workplace where money becomes more prioritized, or becoming more engaged in their social lives (like going to college, or finding a new hobby which involves more stimulation). Eventually, this just becomes clutter
Those guys were cool because they were knowledgeable and passionate about the movies and characters. It's fun to talk to people who like what you like.
As a Funko Collector that was a super deal, even for out of the box. In the box, it would have been crazy! I say usually 40% of in-box value in general from the PPG or Funko App price. These would be fun as a Live Whatnot Auction.
That is very true. This would be a killer auction. Whatnot is a very cool selling site.
Josh i was going crazy looking at them all!! Wish i could have been there!!
I wish I could find sales like this. The grails in there were killing me.
is in the box exclusively unopened? or can it be returned in box on sale?
Don’t know how I got here, not a fan of Funko, not a toy collector, I don’t even go to yard sales... and yet I watched the whole thing and had genuine joy because you’re just such a pleasant guy. Amazing. Thanks! Sending you lots of love.
Now these are the people I like to see, respectful of the stuff they pick up. I see some people looking for deals and they toss things around and drop them whenever they change their minds about the item.
Every time he grabs something it feels like I’m there, it’s a great camera angle and I really like the communication
$2 each / $4 for the bigger ones I was getting worried you wouldnt be able to grab enough of them in time. Thats an amazing deal personally honestly. Would have picked them all up myself too
What a fun day. Seeing your son was a big bonus, thank you.
As a collector myself that was a very fair deal. Sometimes you kina wanna get rid of the whole lot for a good price. Everyone's happy at the end of the day! Buyer, seller and us viewers.
I almost lost my mind with the Funkos, $2 each 😭😭😭 The little GIR on the edge is so cute and so rare!! Invader Zim fans buy any merch they can find because of how rare IZ merch is in general.
What’s their value outside the box?
I want it 😢
@@MegaHotdiggity not everyone care about that. I like displaying them outside the box
@@MadristaSisam he was asking, why dont you answer the question
Been a fan for years but lost touch for a while. Rediscovered you and my insane passion for pop-culture collecting ❤ really love your posts. thanks froggy
Thank you for sharing your garage sale adventures. My mom started me on garage sales in the 1960s. We continued until she became bed bound. We would watch your channel until she passed this June. Still watching...
I am sorry for the loss of your mother.
I loved going to yard sales with my mom and grandma too 💖 it’s nice to have memories that we can cherish
Gotta love this guy no arguing for a dolllor or cents straight up bloke deserves all the good deals he gets 👍🇮🇪
Thanks so much!
No trying to rip people off or low ball everyone because he thinks he is smarter. When he wants a better deal he quietly and gentlemanly asks, always showing respect.
Another Irish Guy here who loves these videos wish there was more sales like this here 😂🇮🇪
Rick from Pawnstars would be like "The best I can do for you is 30 bucks".
This dude sold a mussel man and zoidberg for 2 bucks!😂🤦♂️
Awesome pick up. Personally, I stay away from loose Funko pops if I don't intend to keep them. For me they are really hard to move fast loose, but if you are patient they do eventually sell. Great video !!
Don’t know how I found your channel. But I’m loving it. I’ve watched like five videos so far and I’m hooked!!! Keep doing what you love man!
Thanks so much!
Its so interesting to see all the things people sell. I think we enjoy seeing people make profits from buying to selling like this. Money is good content lol
Spoiler alert
I feel bad for them honestly, It wont be such a big collection unless someone really like it and spend time to collect it, they probably have to sell it for some reason.
They finally realized they wasted their money on crap.
@@danejurus69 🤣😂😂🤣☠️☠️☠️
@@danejurus69 truth hurt
A lot of people grow out of things. They look 17-18ish so they likely have other things to worry about
Aw, bittersweet for sure. Sometimes you just need to move on.
Your knowledge of these things is very impressive, I love watching it. And how you always seem to find so many great things among all the "junk" (in many peoples's eyes)
I collect pops myself and 170 for that entire table is an absolute steal, even without the boxes.
I feel so sorry for the owner 😢 he must have been collecting them all for years. I don’t understand why he was able to let it go with such a very low price 🥺
who cares
Sometimes you just want to get rid of things. I've spent hundreds of Euros for books just to sell them years later for 2-5€ per book. It's hard but sometimes necessary
Agree
@A Ng there not toys first off there collection items
@A Ng only you think of it like that. Everyone has that inner child inside them, no matter how old they've become. So what if he collects what you call "toys" at least he is happy with his life. Pretending to be matured while being miserable inside is worse. I pity your partner and male siblings and even father for having someone like you in the family who thinks toys are only for kids
What a lovely family you met there.
Such killer prices for all that horror stuff wow. Even those horror mystery minis. Super great score.
I would’ve took everything on the table, that’s a dope collection
Watching this video gave me nothing but envy as a funko collector 😢 THEY HAD SAUL GOODMAN JUST SITTING THERE FOR $2
Even with the time to search and sell, that’s a home run. Nice score.
Incredible. I watched 7 minutes of a man rummaging a yard sale. What a time to be alive.
Each to his own collecting, if it brings you joy, happiness and learning, you are respectful in your negotiations never lose that. Nice video, keep up the good work
I kept sitting there going "Don't miss Billy in the front!" Glad you snagged them all. Awesome haul!
This!! I was like how can you not see Billy and Michael Myers in the front!!!
was thinking the same thing
Haha, it’s all about the angles. My eyes were above, the camera was Below 😂
I was thinking that too, but than I remembered how he was going to make an offer on the whole table via the clip in the beginning. Lol
I can feel the sadness in the guy with white hoodie! Thats pure pain! 😁 i can still remember when i decided to sell my anine action figures collection, i still regret it up to this day! 😭
Why? Why did you have to tell me? Now all I see is white Sadie 🥲
Why? Its plastic you look at...these Funko things will be worthless like beanie babies in 10 years...so many people willing to buy plastic junk made in China...then China buys all the land
Wrong and ignorant comment. people said the same thing about Pokémon cards and look how much that hyped up over the last year, some of the rarest funkos can be up to $5000
@@jazzajazza1660 Right, the rare ones will always be valuable like the rare beanie babies still are...same with rare Pokemon cards and Funko's...The collectors market will be similar to Beanie Babies however, and not Pokemon... that's where you are ignorant comparing the two. Pokemon as a brand continues to draw in young fans as well as older fans who grew up playing and collecting... Funko's however will see collectors drop off like they did Beanie Babies....If I had a choice between a 5000$ Funko vs 5000$ Pokemon card, I'd choose the Pokemon card because the Funko faze will die out like BB, but Pokemon will probably still be popular many generations down the line.
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind why people collect those things
you did the right thing for your business future,, years ago I bought 26 wooden doors for $20,,, before I left the auction I sold 2 doors for $20,, 15 years later I just sold the last door from that lot between $20-30 each,,,$ 500+ over time
There's so many good ones there!!! I'm so jealous. 2 bucks for that Sharknado is too damn good. One of my most wanted vaulted pops
Bonus unlocked!
XP waste sir
Sparc mac :0
Whoa, thanks for dropping by!
Didn't expect seeing Sparc Daddy here lol
😱
awwww the guys who helped you were so sweet and cute and helpful! Especially the blonde one..
Elliot, you are just the cutest little boy ever! Thank you for cheering me with another fab video. Xxx
This is a great lesson in why you need to bring the initial cost as low as possible, it’s probably going to take hours of research, and time, and shipping costs to sell these things so afterwards the cost per piece will be well above the deal made in the beginning. I feel like a lot of people that are new to reselling don’t understand this concept.
Jesus those pops are worth so much, there out of box but there grails for £2 each and loads of them, luckiest person ever
That Funko lot was crazy bro, you're gonna make a ton off of that buy. Thanks for sharing.
May take some time, but I think so!
@@FroggyFlips I don't think It will take long for some of them
not really. people dont buy oob
@@JasonChowTV wrong
@@JasonChowTV I believe they make quality items and a fan is always a fan. That there is already a good thing. Retired items oob is cheaper so many will watch for it. Honestly you can always make money back if you've only bought it for a dollar. Wholesale prices!
“Not an educational channel “ Well it has certainly been for me since I stumbled upon you a few months ago. I love your content and your sweet family. I always look forward to a notification and a new video from you!
I know the family was so blessed by you.
My children and I have been collecting Funko Pops for a little over a year now, we currently have over 300, all boxed. I'm so jealous youse live in America and it's a bigger thing over there compared to Australia, the garage sales like this would be amazing. Whilst it's definitely growing in popularity here, it's surely not as prevalent like the US. Good pick up mate! 😍
We dont like Australians here.
just started watching your channel Froggy but really enjoy the calm atmosphere, kind conversations with nice people and the camerawork and nice midwest weather makes it feel like the viewer is taking a nice stroll through a neighborhood on a nice day. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome, thank you!
You’re awesome. I like the tips of key words you searched for to sell. Also the comps screen shots. Glad I found your channel.👍
You're a true bro
early
Man ray I love your music but your literally in every comment section
Oh it's you again 😂
The lord has visited and bless the video
He is here 🤦🤦🤦 too
As a fellow Funko collector I was hoping you didn’t pass up on a few I had my eyes on 🤯 Nice score!!
@@rayden716if you care about the value of them then keep them in the box. They are worth more in the box than outside of it.
@Rayden it's your choice
@Rayden imo they look better out of them
@Rayden take them out the box bro. They look better. And you can get shelves for them that look super dope. Only reselling nerds keep them in the box
@@trel4504 I'm not a reselling nerd but I overall dont reccomend taking them out just to keep them save, also saves them from dust. if you do take them out then at least save the box lol
Love the slow play. You worked them to perfection.
Watching you stand in front of Jigsaw from Saw the whole time and not seeing him was distressing.
7:55 you finally picked it up.
As a collector of these I wish I could've been there. That ghost face is a $200 pop ( if he was boxed ).
That's Billy the puppet, not Jigsaw, common error lol
I saw that too I was like grab Billy!!!
I love your son's reaction to the five nights toy! I remember getting the " ok, I love you" from my littles too. Congrats on a fantastic deal, my dude!
Great video, I don’t know anything about Funkopops, but it always fun to watch someone get a great deal. And I think your approach of thinking of it as a small business stocking their inventory is a good one. I hope they’ve all sold by now and you’ve made a great profit.
I didnt even know they made a Scream funko, that was my fav one from the whole haul
As someone who is opening up a Funko shop I am SO JEALOUS OF THAT HAUL
What is funko shop
Where
U gonna sell beanie babies too? 🤔🤣
He totally scored. Each of those pops is like 8 bucks each. maybe 10.00 out the door with taxes. Big score.
Bro, how the hell do you hide the excitement??? This was effing amazing!
Gotta keep that poker face!😆
i didn't really feel like doing exact math but just guessing around, every funko is $10 retail on average, $30 for the big ones, probably almost 200 of the small ones on that table, and a decent amount of big ones, probably safe to say if these were all in boxes, the table would be worth around $3000 retail, not including the ones that go up in value and you got them for $170, amazing deal! Edit: i commented this before your commentary at the end of the video, and i pretty much repeated what you said lol
I don’t collect any of these or know any knowledge of comics or cards. Yet, I’m here watching your vids. It’s very satisfying for some reason. 😊
Thank you!
That's crazy a lot were out of box so the value wasn't as high but great steal. 2 and 4 is usually 11-30 dollars a piece with box. Amazing negotiation
You’re always finding great deals. Been supporting from Canada. I’ll be waiting for the next videos.
Thanks so much!
Not sure if you've heard of it but there is an app call 130point you could use to check comps. It will pull up all eBay sales and what bids and offers went for. Just throwing that out there just in case you've never heard of it. I use it for sports cards.
Very new to this garage sale stuff being from the UK. Love that this one is more of a long term sale than quick flips! :)
I love this channel! Honestly, every video is so fun to watch.
Thanks so much!
is garage sale not common in the uk , whats next best thing over their
@@jamespaters8665 They have flea markets in the uk but they call them "Boot Sales"
@@jamespaters8665 We do ‘boot sales’ so everyone meets, parks up and sells.
@@SkywardFX I’ve seen “boot sales” in the US but how come their is no garage sales in UK?
I’m gunna cry. As an extreme horror fan, I can’t believe you got all those for 2$ each 😭
Billy, Scream, Sebastian amongst a few few other grails, I would’ve purchase for my personal collection. 👏🏻 what a steal.
Having bought and sold funko pops from my collection for years, I would have been salivating at getting a shot at that lot.
I’ll definitely keep a better eye out for them now!
i used to be a pop collector, some of those pops outside the box are easily worth between 30-50! the whole lot for 170 is a steal considering that they sell for $4-5 average without the box.
Definitely worked out ok!
there is a funko app that does all the work for you on in box pops. as a general rule out of box pops are about 40 percent less than in box. I would use that as a starting point
Very good video. I know absolutely nothing about pops. My take was how nice the kids/teenagers were. The kids are alright. Thank you for taking us along.
Absolutely, seemed like great kids!
That little froggy of yours is such a sweetie 💜
These go great in landfills. Even Funco said they were tired of paying for storage.
Man, you luck out on garage sales. Everytime I go, it's all junk lol
All those horror funko pops are sick! So jealous of all the scary stuff you found! Also, I was screaming at my screen "you missed Jigsaw right up front!" But then you grabbed him and I was so relieved lol
I don’t collect them but my son is obsessed with horror character dolls. Knowing how rare it is I was left spending $50 on just collectible action figures of his favorite killers. This would have been a huge deal for me my kid would have freaked if I got all those killers.
Keep a eye on yo kid make sure he don’t turn into one👀
@@dhcshop Your logic is retarded. Kid interested in horror movie action figures = future murderer. Don't reproduce please 🙏
@@nunyabusiness1248 it was a joke
@@nunyabusiness1248 clearly your a middle aged woman, go back to facebook.
This is a good haul of rare pops, good idea buying them all
My guy, you have the older Asuna/SAO pop in that pile. Even OOB it is worth a lot.
Helluva haul well played and great thinking outside your comfort level. Keep up the great work!!
“I know they’re fake in the dark”….he is so darn sweet! Trying so hard to be brave❤️
Sounds like he knows women lol.
Nice score - you been popping up on my feed - I see your getting lots of views - been doing UA-cam last 2 1/2 years - nice to learn from others that do reselling and UA-cam - thanks.
Thanks dude!
I love how your family first. That's awesome bro
I love Pops!! I can’t get rid of them though. Lol!! I finally got rid of two this week. I just donated them though. You either love them or hate them. My favorite horror one is Scream. He is just so cute. I put him out every Halloween!!!
"That is a character from dragon ball" *Points at Natsu*
I was looking for this comment to see if anyone else noticed it!!
I'm like wait did he just say that Natsu is from dragonball?!?!
Bruh I literally had my eyes on Natsu the whole time I would’ve gotten him if I was there 😭
I think i watched this mainly to see what they’d say about Natsu 😂
And lo and behold something happened
Man, what a nice lawn! The Funkos are cool too!
awesome info! Never would have given open Funkos another look at a yard sale, but knowing they might be worth something is great info!
Wholesome content, wholesome dude. Thank you for the videos!
