    Fire Kine jadeite sells for buxx as long as it's in good shape. That includes the blanks. A few Starbucks mugs go for good money, but most are in the $10-20 range. A few corporate names sell well too, especially tech names. I'd love to find an early 80s Apple Computer mug!

    I don’t see any mention here, but I haven't read all the comments. Anchor Hocking is a glass manufacturer. FireKing is/was their version of Pyrex oven-safe glass. "Jadeite" was a low-cost line of dinner ware. Old-time radio show, "Casey, Crime Photographer", was sponsored by Anchor-Hocking for many years. The announcer was Tony Marvin, who later was the long-time announcer for Arthur Godfrey.

    @johnwayne2103 Рік тому +3

    When buying coffee cups, weight is everything. So don't make the mistake of buying those lightweight coffee cups because they chip very easily. Rae Dun and World Market is the exception because they are highly collectable. Fine China coffee cups can be hit and miss but there is always someone out there looking to replace a broken cup/ mug from a set that is no longer produced.
    Plus it's so much fun to go Coffee mug hunting. Also Whiskey glasses can be profitable and the heavier the glass the better. If they have graphics on them make sure they are not scratched condition is everything. I have seen brand new sets that were never used at Goodwill, most likely displayed and someone decided to donate them.

    Coffee mugs are my personal favorite to flip. Even if you’re selling for $8-10, considering you can pick them up for less than a dollar and ship for around $11, you’re almost always going to make a decent profit. Thank you for this video! I never thought to actually research the top sellers - now I’ll be on the lookout! I did find a set of two Spode Marlborough Spray mugs and I saw where one sold recently for over $100. I haven’t been able to find any others sell for that much so I’ve listed the pair for around $100, not confident they’d sell together for over $200 haha. This makes me think maybe I should raise the price since there really are collectors out there who will pay the price for mugs they love.

    What about Moomin mugs? I know they used to be top dollar sellers.
    I recently sold a Rae Dunn for $191.00!! Great video (as usual)! I guess I’m back on the hunt for mugs 😁
