Have you ever seen someone get kicked out of a garage sale before?
No one yet but I hope I am filming the day I do 😂
@@lostworldvideogames then you will also have a video just like this, lol.
Lol, let’s hope. Awesome video as always buddy!
@@lostworldvideogames thank you!
Shouldve picked up those pokemon bro go look up the comps on just the cards you showed in those 2 pages in that binder single card in that last page was 150 to 250 raw condition the mistys favor and those tag team full and alternate arts on that other one page while you where flipping they have the little yellow at the top says tag team that page alone was anpther couple hindred and you skipped multiple pages no telling what else was on there but that one page and the one card on last page was well over 350 400 in value
It's always frustrating when sellers don't have stuff priced and look up the current "selling" price on eBay, instead of "sold" comps...🙄 Like all of their stuff is worth millions of dollars! 🤣🤣
It is frustrating when people don’t have prices for items. I can understand not pricing cards since the market changes so much but if you are going to take the time to look on eBay at least go by the right comps, lol. $35 for cards that are selling for $10-$15.
I agree. Leads me to wonder why some people don't have the prices ready? Might have been a good idea for him to price out before hand then section them out. That's what I would do. 😁
@@nannettemustillo5408 he did say to me he couldn’t keep up with current market prices.
@@pickingandpunching That's a lame excuse. The collectibles market changes all the time but dramatic changes don't happen in a second. Physical items take time to move, so prices take time to change. This is not the stock market where shares of stocks are technically digital tokens that change hands at near the speed of light. The dude didn't wanna do his homework.
@@rogueinvestor2375 I agree with you. I will say the card market might be the closest thing we have to the stock market for physical collectibles. A players cards could shot up over night if they have a massive game or get hit. Generally speaking, you should price your items ahead of time especially if you knew you were going to setup for the day. He probably didn’t want to spend the time doing it.
Interesting thing is that some video game stores/card shops/comic book shops have adapted this model. Their reasoning is that they have so much inventory they couldn’t keep up with the changing market values. Which can be frustrating. I hate having to ask for someone to look up every single item. I’m also a collector myself. It’s really a turn off as a buyer.
Bro ripped those kids off harder than gamestop
Yeah should have hit him up with at least 40. Dude made what 100 off that? After feeds probably 80?
Point of a yard sale is to sell stuff fast to make room for newer stuff. You can typically expect to get around 10-30% of what something is really valued at.
They were happy
@@liamc1102 They don't know better. When I was a kid, $20 was an astronomical amount of money.
I got kicked out of a hobby shop because these kids brought in cards of their parents while they were at work and the owner was screwing the kids over so I said something and he told me to leave. Still glad i said it😊
That’s cool that you did that.
@@pickingandpunching ty
Hopefully you left a review on Yelp about the hobby store.
@@pickingandpunchingwhilst you rip the kid off in video not even chucking an extra 5dollars for games and connect 🤮 prekkk
Maybe learn to mind your own business
25 for an Xbox and a good few games, off a kid, is just plain robbery!
I made the deal with the parent. It’s a system they do not play and had just laying around. $25 is what I normally try to pay for Xbox systems. Very similar pricing to what game shops do pay. Do you know how many systems we have purchased at garage sales that were told that they work, only to take them home to find out they don’t work. It’s about a 20% failure rate. One of these controllers ended up not working. After fees we will make about $50 off this deal, far from robbery.
But that's the name and the game of a garage sale..you don't know if it works! My issue is everything else you threw in on that 25..25 for an xbox fine but then games and other stuff thrown in too just seems a little greedy! But your the professional and I am not..just wanted to note what I witnessed in that video.
@@jessicanoonan8435 there are many times when we make deals in the moment that you look back and say, “maybe i should of handled this one differently”. Maybe this was one of them. I was just explaining my thought process on the purchase at the moment. I do appreciate you taking time to watch the video and your feedback. I do read every comment and take them into consideration. Thank you!
@@pickingandpunching and I respect you for that reflection..I shouldn't have made the comment because I'm not a professional and I'm aware that different states have different economies which can change the price of things like an xbox etc.. for that I apologise!
@@jessicanoonan8435 No need to apologize at all. I appreciate all of the feedback. I am completely transparent with my channel. Many times when I edit my videos and I look back at the situations I could of handled things differently. Sometimes I don't realize things until people make comments. I have learned a lot and have been able to make improvements to my channel because of feedback from my viewers. It's great to get a your prospective. Keep on commenting, I welcome it all.
When I see a seller at a yard sale looking up comps on their items, I'm gone before they look back up.
Haha…I was hoping he would say, “this goes for $30 on eBay, I’ll sell it to you for $10”. Instead he was like this “sells for $10 on ebay, I’ll sell it to you for $35”.
Because you dont want sellers to know the real value so you can scam them?
@@mathiasm8489 Yes. This guy's kind of a douche. No respect for other people's stuff.
Yup exactly lmfao
@@mathiasm8489then why the sellers not just put the items on eBay? They want eBay prices without the fees 😅
If you see a dude walking around your yard sale with a camera you know you will get played so be aware of these jerkoffs that have to record
You got us. We wake up everyday to see how we can play someone.
no matter what they ask them what the price is. they dont force prices on sellers. if the seller is too lazy to search comps and list then pack and ship and risk a refund scenario or worse then thats on them for selling something for cheap to someone who will turn it for profit. Items also dont sell in a day. they could sit for months to years just taking up space until you get it sold.
@@XingCollectables ☝🏻this right here.
@@pickingandpunchingdamn you told him ….. NOT!!!!
My time is worth at least 20 on top. So unless I'm gonna make more then 20+ on it guaranteed I'm selling it
As soon as a seller pulls their phone out, I turn around and walk off.
Usually it’s not going to work to your favor.
Neither side appreciates when the other does it. As a seller I'm not giving something away - as I buyer I'm not gonna over pay. Negotiating skill is paramount for both.
Probably should’ve offered a bit more to the kids :/ made like $120 off it and gave them $25 💀
Hindsight is always 20/20. I should of probably game them more. Sometimes when you are in the moment you are making deals. It’s not to later on that you start ti question your decisions. I can’t tell you how many consoles that I bought over the years that I was told that they work and then got them home and they didn’t.
@@pickingandpunchingthey are kids though they have no fault if you had bad deals before but they could have really used the money since you know where they are you should have gone back. You arent a very nice person.
@gameztopches bs u he doesn't care for thebkids.himself ollectibles
i mean, he goes there and buys smth and tells them in the moment they asking for much less.
that is really honorabl to be honest. he gives the other guy a chance to reconsider. nobody who
is all in for money would do that. they would leave you in the thought that its not worth much,
so they can push down their price.
Scamming kids and taking their games. Classy
Totally, I was watching like he is unbelievable. This is why the world is how it is
Did he pay only $25 for an xbox and 6 games?
They watch his channel but now they’ll see what he does with there items and regret selling it for cheap
Exactly thats all he is i thought when i first saw his video and he was offering someone a low amount i thought he was gonna reward them with a bunch of money but he didnt. Hes just a scammed taking advantage of unknowing people.
@@lastplayer5838lol. The other day I bought a complete in box pokemon soul silver at a yard sale for one dollar. What do you say about that?
"Well theyre selling for $5 each on ebay so how does $35 a piece sound...?" 😂
😂😂😂
So he was just wrong about the value. He was also talking about the graded cards and the condition. Funny how you defend a reseller if the resellers never pay the value😂
@@mathiasm8489 of course resellers never pay the value of the item. Why would they pay full price to turn around and sell it for full price? There is no profit for them. As for the Jordan’s, I was actually buying them for myself. I collect sports cards. Yes, he was talking about PSA 10 pricing but then looks up comps on eBay and tells me $35 for a $10 card. Those cards weren’t gradeable. I just wanted them for my pc.
@mathiasm8489 that's how their fan bases are lol
Old man was a bit crazy! They might be $100 cards if psa 10's 🤷♂️
I quit having yard sales years ago, i would have everything priced dirt cheap to just get rid of it, earlybirds would show up while i was bringing it out and still try to undercut me, no more done!
I can see that happening.
Yep, we held a group yard sale with a "no early arrivers" notice, some still came and we refused to sell them anything. A family offered $0.25 for a NEW, UNUSED dish and utensil set (priced at $10). They wouldn't budge from the quarter so we ran them off. Some old timers would loudly criticize everything but wouldn't make an offer, so we sent them packing (make an offer or leave). We made a buyer-friendly deal on a very sturdy, newly upholstered wooden chair for $15 (orig asking $30) and the buyer tried to give us a delivery address! You bought it lady - how you get it home is on you. But most people were reasonable - we would usually meet them halfway and be happy about it. Good vibes rule! Lastly, there were actually teams of people who show up to support each other in their criticism of items to try to get an absurdly low price. They acted like they didn't know each other. Sent them packing too.
$15 and they wanted it delivered 😂😂😂
I'm personally okay with sellers sticking to their price and not wanting to negotiate.
A lot of yard sale prices are reasonable anyway, it's the re sellers who go there trying to low ball them even further knowing they're already making profit on an item if they pay the price already on the item.
However, from a seller point of view, there is a way to treat a potential customer, and just flat out telling someone to go away and leave the sale isn't the way to go.
Agree with you. I don’t think the guy was a reseller because he was actually trying the pair of shoes on. He could of just treated him differently.
It’s not just the resellers that lowball yard sale prices. With that being said, if you have something of any value at all, it should not be in a yard sale and expect to get top dollar for it.
@@Jana-TheCraftyGambler Most yard sale sellers dont expect top dollar but want a fair price while al resellers want to lowbal the price.
Guy has more problems to worry about if he couldn't afford $5 shoes.
@@Jana-TheCraftyGambleryou know nothing waaaa🤣
Great video. Funny with the shoe guy. When you went to the auctions with me down Perky we caught people a few times stealing stuff off my table and the owner threw them the hell off the property. But the same thieves come back the next week. Lol
I remember that happening!
Always Love watching your videos 🙌 I normally watch you on my TV and never get a chance to comment but I am watching on the phone! 👊
Thanks for the support!
Just went picking 2 days ago they do a bulk trash day where everyone just empties their homes/garages. I saw a gorgeous painting under a pile of crap and I knew it was an original, you can feel the oil. The hardware was really old. Did research wound up being an original Charles Henry Granger painted in the 1840s appraised over 3k. Someone's trash truly was my treasure.
Great score! I love hearing these stories.
It's important to remember that in many countries, negotiating is acceptable and even expected. The man that offered $3 twice and kinda just stood there was probably hoping that the grumpy old man would come back with an offer of $4. At any rate, I've seen people charge outlandish prices for junk and on the other side of the spectrum, letting treasures go for for nothing. My two cents! :)
I agree. Anytime you are at a garage sale or flea market, you should expect someone will want to negotiate with you.
I just had a garage sale today where the seller brought out a HUGE stack of boxed DS games, and didn't seem to care all that much about numbers until his mother suddenly butted in and started asking him if he'd checked online and how much they were worth. Then she told him to take them back inside and bring them out at the next one. And this wasn't some kid or teen, this seller was a guy in his late 20s.
Omg, that’s the worst. Sorry you had to go through that.
Man I had that happen to me!! A seller here in my city had multiple boxes Pokémon games the ones I want was heart gold soul silver with the pokewalkers!!!
smart mom tbh
Thanks for the insight
Thank you for watching!
Alf! 😂❤. Loved that show. I get so nostalgic seeing some of your finds.
Video games used as frizbees. LOL😂
I kinda have a soft spot for grumpy old men. Especially ones that are out there, still truckin' along and able bodied. ❤
I love finding the old nostalgic items! They bring back so many good memories. I loved Alf back in the day. Why haven’t we got a reboot yet? I do appreciate the old guys hustle though.
That dude was have nome of the deals & way overcharged for the cards anyway. 😂😂 Killer haul my man & much ❤❤
Thanks man! He was all over the place. 🤷♂️
I woulda flicked the kid an extra 5 for Xbox games etc cos he’ll always remember you anyway from recognising you from UA-cam , you look like a wrestler and just woulda added to the moment he sold his Xbox to the cool dude lol
You are right looking back at it. I agreed to buy the Xbox without seeing it at first. I could of thrown him so extra cash. It was 100 degree that day and I was baking standing in the drive way, lol. I couldn’t wait to get to my truck and turn on the AC. Garage sales in the summer in Florida are miserable, lol.,
@@pickingandpunching I get this, I am crazy in the heat !
Jerk of an excuse....Yet on your way back to the car you asked if he had more games, your full of it
@@letemride123 good thing the inter-net police are here.
New sub , found u from someone from the TTC Podcast I watch all 3 I don't remember who but iv seen u in multiple videos so I decided to check you out and I'm enjoying the content
Thank you so much for checking me out. Ironically that you talked about TTC podcast, I’m hanging out with those guys as we speak at Flipcon.
This is a good time to buy up DVDs because there are going to be movies and shows that are going to fall through the cracks on streaming services. People are offloading Disney DVD and VHS like crazy, but have to track down the ones not on Disney Plus and use that as a selling point. The “Disney Treasures” series are pretty hard to find.
I agree with you. Media is something that I do really well with.
I have mediocre feelings about such videos but i absolutely loved this one. I got bit by the yard sale bug 😂
The yard sale bug is very infectious! 😂. I got bit 25 years ago and there is no cure 🤷♂️
@@pickingandpunching thanks for sharing the Adventures! You are a seasoned pro.
There was a 1970s art nouveau lady on a mirror at that one sale. I wonder what those are going for now?
I had no idea.
Yo happy to see your channel growing bro.
Thank you! I appreciate you!!
That was ADHDave getting yelled at for lowballing 😂
No, not this time. That did make me laugh though, lol.
The kid was excited to meet you!
He was! Very cool experience.
did this back in the 1990s, so much fun, also got a table to sell sports cards at a flee market that had 100s venders, fun times, I was a super quiet person and this got me out of my shell.
I love those days setting up at flea markets with my dad and grandparents selling cards. It was so much fun.
I know where you're coming from. I was a bit shy in high school..but now, after dealing at fleas......I'm an extrovert.
@@user-tl7mj2bm4m love it!
You missed some of them Pokémon rainbow cards. There is a market for that. People collecting the Ranbow hollows.
yeah I didn't know enough about them to make the buy. Thanks for the info.
The guy said if they gradw out lol those cards looked like they had a few moles on them cases lol.
😂😂😂 you ain’t wrong!
Love your videos
Thank you! I appreciate you.
They be Kicking and Screaming. Were those letters SNF? Sunday Night Football? lol.
I couldn’t figure it out. I think they were just generic letters. They were very Intriguing though.
That was a crazy garage sale lol. 😂
It was! 😂
Some lady tried to sell me a beat up Cadillac power wheels for $70 resell lady. No charger. I said I was thinking $10 😅
Haha
When selling you almost always have to be willing to negotiate! You have to keep the money flowing!
100% cash flow is king!
More good stuff bro! Great finds! You collect old Rap music too? I have thousands of rap cds and cassettes
I used to have a ton of them. I like to pick them up in the wild.
First time viewer and Sub here. That old guy was Not settling on 3 dollars LOL. At least he got the 5 dollars for the Sale. But the Jordan's at 35 dollars each would not be bad for personal collection. But when People say "It goes for X amount on Ebay... that to me seems to be a Red Flag for .. I am trying to get top dollar for the item" Which is ok... but if you are at a garage sale and see those prices on everything. Unless it is a rare item... I would just say Have a nice day and move onto the next sale.
I agree with you. It’s def a red flag. If it sells for that much on EBay, why not just list it on there?
First video of yours I'm watching. I love your format of showing comps on items you buy. It must be tough when people reconginze you at garage sales lol
It has its pros and cons for sure, lol. Thanks for checking the channel out. I appreciate you!
They had a card in the binder, mistys favor full art, unsure of current market but ive sold it before in the 90-100$ range
Looks like depending on conditions it's 80-180 easy
I had no idea! I just looked it up. I’ll keep an eye out for it in the future.
I said some things but figured sence this was responded to im a reseller myself that binder was loaded with money and i only seen 3 pages not the first page there wasnt really anything there but all those others where atleast from those 3 pages well over 500 in raw sold comp value tag team cards are very rare now expecially the fullarts and alternate arts there where both and a full page no telling whatelse was in there an that card last sold comps of good condition raw copies of tht mistys favor are around 180 to 255 on auctions
@@brandonblomberg1704 damn, I really had no idea. I have some knowledge of vintage stuff but when it comes to newer stuff I don’t know.
lol, love it when people look stuff up on phones before giving a price…..one of “those” people
Not only did he look it up but them made up a price that was well over eBay sold comps, lol. 😂🤷♂️
This is the church on Hays rd off state rd 54. My wife and I go there every month. I've bought a few good cards off that gentleman. I actually bought a Pele Relic card from him for a good price. Hello, fellow Pasco resident!
He was not in the best of moods that day. What day of the month do they do their sales?
@@pickingandpunching it's the 3rd Saturday every month.
Dude was like, IM NOT LEAVING IM WALKING AWAY IN THESE SHOES!

How come you didn't buy the Sony Handycam? It may have needed to be charged in order for the cassette compartment to open.
It had some cosmetic damage to it so I decided to pass.
yay!!! my favorite picker!!
Who me? Lol. Thanks for the support!
Catching up on some of your older videos
I really appreciate the support Mr. Butt or is it Mr. Ass or is it Mr.Biscuitbutt. Now I just made it awkward 🤷♂️.
@@pickingandpunching I prefer Sir Butt, but even though I haven't met you yet I think you're going to be like so Archie is good
I meant to say like family
@@biscuittbutt1 I may not have three degrees like Cary, but I can’t read between the lines. 😉
Yeah, last time I had a sale, it was mostly re-sellers that showed up. Stuff was priced reasonably and if I wanted to give it away, I’d go to Goodwill, so didn’t feel like haggling much.
I think it’s in our blood (resellers) to always ask for a bargain. There is a way to do it and be respectful. At the same time, if the seller is giving you great deals. It’s ok to pay their asking price.
@@pickingandpunching well, they were t very respectful. Here’s an example.
I had Peter David’s complete run on Incredible Hulk comic. Some key issues in there, great shape. A steal at $100. People were trying to get me to $50.
I cannot understand why people think lowballing is ripping someone off. They don’t HAVE to say yes. Do you go to a restaurant when they have a good deal going and just pay more because “it’s worth more”? Hell no you’ll tell everyone about the good deal you got. People gotta stop being so holier than thou.
Thank you!
When buying on Ebay, i have assurance that the item in question is fully authentic and/or working and assurance that if its not I can just return it with no issues. I have neither of those at a garage sale. So there is almost no reason to ever price your garage sale items at Ebay value or above.
☝🏻This right here is the same thing I been saying forever!
good time rummafing with you! good vodeo
Thanks for watching!
THAT NEGOTIATION WENT RIGHT FOR THE OLDER GENTLEMAN LOL
😂
Good grab on the Thomas Kincaid. Get them if you can. $10 was a smoking $$
It was a crazy deal!
yeah people that expect market value for their crap are stupid but people that also expect to buy stuff at 80-90% discount are just as guilty
I agree 100%. I’m ok paying up for items. There is a happy median.
Damn, the amount of hate in here for you is crazy!! Guaranteed if any of these Karen's found killer deals on yard sale stuff, they'd snatch it up in a heartbeat!! Losers cant stand seeing winners win!! Keep on doing what your doing brotha!!

Black Xbox gets the red ring of death also
You are correct. The original releases were the worst:
please dont let me be a grown man looking at old plastic dinosaurs at a yard sale

When the person looks up the price Id walk away lol
The worst is when they come back with Listed prices for value instead of sold comps.

Why did you pass up the sony camcorder? Price?
The camera wouldn’t open. It looked like it was damaged. So I passed on it.
How could you not really know who Thomas Kinkade was? He had a shop in nearly every Mall in The United States for decades.
Speaking the last time I was hanging out in malls was in the middle of the 90’s and I was 12, lol. The only thing I cared about in the malls was EB Games, KB Toys, and Spencer’s. I was never an art guy. I just didn’t know who he was.
I thought it was the Gamechasers Billy & Jay😂
😂
First timer here. I was wondering what you asked for the sewing machine?
She wanted $10 for it so we bought it. We ended up getting rid of it already. I don’t remember what we sold it for. Thank you for checking out the channel.
nah something else there lol what a reaction
I know! Lol
If it does not have the hard drive in the Xbox 360, then it’s just a 4 GB version. Still works and plays just fine. You just can’t save as much data
Correct. You pretty much can play just can’t save much along the way.
I had one of these church volunteer going all karen on me before for negotiating. I just played dumb and getting all sad until some of the other volunteers had to come over to apologize for that person's behavior and I got the stuff I wanted
I love church sales. The negotiating part is always tricky with them. I try not to negotiate hard with them. They are usually always very nice. Sucks you had up go through that. At least you got your stuff you wanted.
14:24 if an electronic is corroded dont be afraid of buying it the worst tbing that can happen is the battery compartment does not work I bought a camera for I beleive I paid $5 for it and it had some corrosion where tje batteries go on Amazon it was somwhere near $100 and it works after some cleaning with water on a q-tip
Just depends on the item. I’m just trying to stay away from projects and buy more profits now a days. Thanks for the tip!
Sand paper works good on corroded battery terminals.
Damn Pipaw was freakin pissed!
He wasn’t happy, lol
What was the invoice in gold frame about?
are you referring to the back of the art work?
@@pickingandpunching Yes.
Bro u say you appreciate these people, I think if you really did you could hold your own garage sale and let things go for as cheap as you found them for and just give other people the opportunity and joy of finding a gem for cheap that they can profit off of. It's not too bad to try I do it myself and at the end of the day instead of feeling robbed I actually feel like I have something back to the community and makes me feel good and I feel karma then helps me find even better deals later on everytime!!
Funny that you say this, I had this conversation with my wife. My deathpile is too big and I need to clear stuff out. We plan on doing this sometime later on this year. We are in Florida and it’s so hot out right now. We are waiting to it gets cooler. I plan on blowing a bunch of stuff out at ridiculously low prices.
Honestly, I'm with the old guy on this one. At least on the shoes - not on the cards though. $5 for a pair of shoes is a good price for most shoes second hand in good condition (with box too?). Didn't leave when asked, and guy couldn't speak even enough english to be polite and maybe say "plastic bag PLEASE". Couldn't put his own shoes in the plastic bag, and had to bother someone else? Guy seems like a whirlwind of selfish chaos and everyone around him is just a means to an end. Good on the old guy
I can def see both sides of it. $5 for a pair of shoes is a good deal. I just think the old guy could of handled the situation a little different. In the end, it all worked out.
Did you notice he said "please" when asking for help putting the shoes in the bag? And he probably just stood there because he might be from a culture where negotiating on both sides is acceptable and expected. In the end, grumpy old man could have stood firm on the price without being rude. Maybe he doesn't care for non-white people.
@@pickingandpunching cant blame him hes old lmao. Once you reach a certain age you aint got time for BS.
@@XingCollectables very true, lol

Thank you for the info. I had no idea what it was until you commented on the video. I love learning from my viewers. Thank you!
I automatically avoid vendor/dealer sales. Sure some of them have good stuff but I find that 90% of them are just crazy delusional with their prices. To me it doesn't make sense to pay $50 more than what you can buy it for new.
Agreed!
The recycling station where everyone goes to throw away larger stuff like wood and metals sell used stuff for cents. Got all 5 Rocky movies inside collection box on VHS, The Fugitive, Rush Hour, also VHS and Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 2 DVDs + 12 vinyls and a high quality carry bag for $3 last week. They're not looking to make money off of this stuff. Just wanna make sure you pay something so you value it enough to not throw it somehwere in the woods or whatever. They only had 1 game being Jak and Daxter platinum edition. I will be back there weekly. Drive recreationally past there every week anyway. If I see a gamecube game there I'm gonna flip out.
Awesome pickups! More importantly, way to save so cool items.
That card seller guy was too damn rude. The buyer sounded like he had maybe a Latin American accent. In Latin America bartering is part of the culture. It was completely appropriate for him to come to a community sale and expect to haggle.
I agree with you. He def was rude to that guy. He was Hispanic and was being very respectful when he made his offer. Garage sale, flea market, sports card shows, etc haggling is part of the culture. He asked for $3 for a $5 item. It wasn’t that big of a deal. It was crazy on how he reacted to him.
First time I ever watched you.. news subscriber
Thank you for the support!
My pleasure, Any idea how you find yard sales in America... Do you just drive up and down the streets until you see so awesome is there a specific way of finding them.
@@leecooper3852 if you are in a small town, check the classifieds in the newspaper. I use Facebook and Craigslist to find sales. Check out garage sale nation group on fb. They usually post up big highway sales. There are two apps that I use. Garage sale app and yardsale treasure map.
@@pickingandpunching Thank you I'm definitely going to have a look at that.
Thomas Kincaid frame was worth more than $10. You got a bargain.😊
It def was a great deal!
The better the neighborhood the better the finds.
Very true
I hate when things aren't marked. When you asked the price, they say what would you give me. When you say $5, they laugh. Well you said what would you give me. Then they say $100. I might have given $20.
But on the other hand, I'm a mechanic. When people ask how much they owe me, I started asking "What was it worth to you?" How much do you think it should be? I'm actually surprised about how often people say a price higher than I was going to say. If they do say something way to low, I don't laugh. I tell them I spent "x" amount of hrs on it, and I normally charge "x" amount per hour for that type of work. They'll then say I'll give you "x" amount. That's when I find out how much they think I'm worth.
When I get a rude person, I try to have thick skin. You never know why they are like that. Could be their spouse died recently and they aren't in a good place. Could be so many people have tried ripping them off, they just got tired of it. Who knows.
I hate when someone offers something way less than it's marked. To me, saying you'd give $10 for something that has $50 on it, is an insult. But I also don't mark things at what they sell for on ebay. I've already marked it lower. So for me, offering 30 for a 50 item doesn't get under my skin. I just tell people I'll fill it full of lead for anything lower. Do you know how enjoyable it is to fill it full of lead instead of feeling like you gave it away for free is?
The thing that I don't get is, I list on ebay also. I check the "sold" items to see what things actually went for. I'll put something brand new in the box on for less than all the used sold items went for. Then it never sells. How is it people pay more for a used item then for the new item. I've been told people think its a fake ad or scam because it's too low. I don't try to rip people off. I buy at government auctions often getting good deals.
So I'll get something that retails for $1200 for $50, see used ones going for $500 on ebay, list it new for $400, and never sell it.
I try to do the same thing when I sell items. I used that line at my garage sale “what did you want to give me for it”. No one would give me a price. If they would have said anything, I would have taken it, lol.
I'm kinda on the old guy's side with the shoes. Pair for five bucks. Pay the five bucks or fk off.
I get it.
I hate it when you are at a sale and there is clearly someone who wants the item you are about to buy so they linger and when they hear the price they just have to say something, its really really petty and they just doing it to cause issues!! Talking about the women with the sewing machine saying that they go for much more than what she sold it for...I've had that a few times and I just stare at them until I reach their soul and they walk away lol.
😂
I think the older gentleman could of been a little more kind, he could have politely passed on the guys offer, instead of telling him to leave his booth.
I agree. He could have just handled the situation a little bit different.
Wow, we've run into our share of odd and grumpy sellers over the years, but these folks set the standard for cranky. Better luck next time!
I guess you reach a certain age where you just don’t care, lol
His way or the highway 😂
😂
“I seen it in UA-cam shorts “ lol he didn’t
😂
Even in beat up played condition that mistys favor sells for 100 dollars beat up in mint condition whotch it probably was it goes on auctiom from 178 to 250 easily
Damn, that’s good information to know. I don’t know much about new Pokémon cards. Mostly just older stuff. Thanks!
They don't put prices on stuff. I would be tired of people asking me for a price.
I get tired of asking prices some times. Thats why I usually just go make a pile and ask for a bundle price.
New subscriber here enjoyed the content. Question has anyone ever told yiu you voice sounds like John Cena?
First thank you for subscribing! Maybe I am John Cena, you just “Can’t See Me”
@@pickingandpunching 😂😂😂😂
I used to work for Thomas Kinkade
Really? How was that?
@@pickingandpunching I worked at his warehouse, he had a few shops in malls back in the 90s, and they had a small warehouse and I was the only one working there. I would pack up his paintings which were replicas and send them out to the shops. And I also had to destroy the discontinued ones, I took a blade and cut them…but they let me keep the frames… I would then roll up the cut up painted prints and send them back to him. He would call sometimes. I actually hurt my back there but I did enjoy it, I could listen to music while I did inventory.
@@Vinylrebel72 that’s very fascinating.
I don’t think that guy really understood English too well.
Yea, there was def a language barrier there.
Passed on the Sony handy cam????
I should of said something on the video but it had damage to it so I passed.
those pokemon cards were fire
They were and I missed out.
sad that romania doesent have many garage sales
Unfortunately, it does come down to the area that you live in. I do travel to different states and areas to do garage sales.
The old guys reaction was reasonable. Its a $5 pair of shoes.
👍
You look like Doug from the cartoon in nickolodeon
It’s based on me but Nickelodeon changed the name to “Doug” so they wouldn’t have to pay me Royalties 🤷♂️.
Yeah you are shipping BOWLING BALLS!!
👍
Does pokemon were worth some money sall some good ones
Yea apparently they were some good ones in there. I missed out on them. I more familiar with vintage Pokémon cards. I don’t know much about modern day Pokémon cards.
I don’t know how you stay motivated with such low value items. I couldn’t ever keep up.
I normally hit up 20-30 sales in a normal weekend. Each video you only see a small portion of what o get or it’s broken up on multiple videos. Nickels and Dimes make dollars. Sometimes I will bundle these smaller items together to make it a bigger sales price.
That old man is just sitting around ripping people off. Just aggravates me to my core. I would have walked away from that old man.
It’s his stuff, so he can charges whatever he wants. I don’t think he sold that much that day. I wonder why? lol
You think the shoes were over-priced? I know the cards were......
At least he didn't get ripped off like those kids did
