Tell me what is your most frustrating garage sale or buy?
I went to an estate sale "ENTIRE HOUSE IS FOR SALE" I found a garbage bag FULL of Vintage Nascar and sports... I brought it down to get a price...."Oh sorry those are my grandsons I can't sell" I left immediately
@@nananabatman7 that had happen to me before. Except someone else in the family put out the items when they were suppose to be out. I spent 1/2 hour going through it all. All for the owner to tell me they weren’t for sale. They should of never been brought out. So frustrating!
What both of you have in common with your similar experiences…and on occasion with me…is sellers will use buyers to pull the better stuff for them to keep. This is an unfortunate circumstance that some sellers do unintentionally or intentionally. It’s frustrating to have sellers use buyers to “move things” or “grab things” then the best stuff is pulled then kept. We’ve all been there.
I’m so glad the seller was like this. The picking/punching guy is just looking for lowball deals and the seller knew he had value. Loved watching the picking/punching not get his rip-off deals
Can everyone please subscribe and give this guy a thumbs up. He deserves it for the work he puts in.
You don’t have to do that but I really do appreciate it. It just makes me happy knowing someone see all the hard work we put in. These 20 min videoed take hours filming and hours editing. Thank you! I really appreciate you.
You’re right!! He definitely does deserve the likes, subs and more for all his efforts!!
Rod you were so patient with him. It was frustrating just watching it,
Imagine being there, lol. Normally I would of left but a Jordan magazine collection like that doesn’t come around very often.
Dude. I’m over here getting frustrated along with you!!! Lol. I’m glad I don’t deal with sports stuff much. More power to ya bro!!!
I was trying to keep my cool through it. I’m glad I did. We were able to work out a big deal at the end that I was happy with.
This guy was on something 😂
😂
That man was driving me nuts "this is new no this is used" this is unread magazine that one is read no that one is unread" sheesh you should have separated if thst was the route you were going!
Trust me, it was frustrating but it all worked out in the end.
You are so generous for sharing your expertise on the products you sell. Very kind of you.
We all start someone. I had to teach myself a lot of this info over time. If I can help someone else, I will.
Awesome awesome vid dude. Thanks for giving this one big sale the attention it deserved and not showing too much or too little. 27 minutes with all that great Bulls stuff and knowledge you shared throughout was perfect. Who do you or your other subs think is the best for getting magazines or Beckett type magazines graded? I hope you do more content on grading. Thanks for sharing, I know this took work and you definitely earned this one. Plus the seller moved a lot of inventory and came out with good $.
I appreciate the feedback. This one was not easy, lol. I determine who is the better grading company on two factors, Market Value and Turn around times. CGC. Normally I would compare Beckett and CGC but Beckett does not grade magazines for slabs. They only grade them as Raw books. I need to go through these with a fine comb. I will pick out the best ones and send them to a 3rd party presser. Once he is completed pressing them, I will have them submitted directly to CGC.
I have done a bunch of content on grading in the past. It was mostly unboxing of IGS Graded VHS, WATA Graded Video Games, and CGC Graded comics. If you look through my past videos, there is over a dozen unboxing of graded items. If you have any questions on grading, don't be afraid to reach out.
@@pickingandpunching thanks for taking the time to respond so earnestly and with such detail. I really appreciate you. I’ll definitely look into doing what you mentioned and I’ll happily go back and watch your graded unboxing content. This is entrainment as well as education and research. I can’t ever learn too much. Nobody can. You got a loyal new sub outta me and I am looking forward to more content from you.
@@HoonAgain thank you for the kind words. There is a huge learning curve in grading. I use the analogy of going from high school class to high level college class. I always recommend when people start out to send in a small sample size of books (5 or less). This way you can Minimize and potential mistakes. I would write down what grade you think every book would get before you send it in. When you get them back, you will know how close/far off you were. Then you just adjust accordingly and send your next batch in.
I saw a local post on FB, of some shoes. They had no heel left, covered in dirt, broken lace, and the post said they were new, barely worn…..
Some of the FB post are so crazy. I can’t tell you how many FB market pickups I have went to over the years that the items were not described properly. It such a waste of time. The worst thing is every time it happens the person is like “oh, I didn’t know or I didn’t realize” ugh
@@pickingandpunching I would be tempted to say, "thx for wasting my time!" People know what they're posting...
Put your stuff in a pile. Leaving it all over the place can get it taken by someone else.
If I was shopping and every time I picked up something I was told “Oh, that’s mine”, I would probably have to tell you to get your stuff in a pile.
If watching the seller is frustrating, it is frustrating when stuff is left all over to be picked up later by buyer.
Cincinnati picker would of loved that garage sale
It would be a dream sale for him.
You did it the right way. He wants $700 get to sorting and leave him the garbage and take the rest for $400
Thanks man! I just hated wasting the extra hour sorting through it all. It was a massive community sale. I wanted to get to the rest of the sales early but it was well worth it in the end.
Hey was changing prices as you went along but you still got a great deal 700 for all but 600 for 2 boxes a buck a shirt but these are 5...still a home run..
At the end of the day we were able to work it out. It was just a frustrating process. I’m happy with the deal.
Can’t wait to hear your follow up on this Jordan purchase. Awesome buy!
Thank you. I probably won’t have a follow up for 6 months or so. I will send a small lot off, probably 25, and see how they do first. I will get them pressed (similar to ironing cloths to get out any wrinkles of the books) and then send them to get graded. Those processes take months.
Jordan stuff will forever be collected man. Glad you were able to work out a deal haha. Keep it rocking & much ❤❤
There are a ton of high end Jordan collectors. This will be my first time submitting some magazines to CGC. I am very interested to see how it will turn out!
@@pickingandpunching That's dope dude. Can't wait to see what they come back as
I really like your videos. Thank you for the content.
Thanks for watching!
I think you did great on everything. I don't think it was that frustrating imo. You were able to work a deal with the guy. It wasn't like he was looking up prices like he said he would. Only frustrating thing to me was he agreed to $50 to the box of posters and he kept taking them out and asking you if wanted this or that poster 😂
In the end, it got better. The begging part with the shirts was frustrating. Then I asked him got a deal on the licenses plates and he took $1 off, lol. The whole magazine situation was the most frustrating for me. Off camera he told me he would work me a deal if I bought a bunch. Then when I asked him, he wanted $700 for it all. The day was super hot (I’m in Florida) and spent over a hour at his sale. Like you said though, we were able to work out a deal. So it all worked out at the end. Except for the poster situation, lol.
I feel your frustration! The woman moves in on your deal and takes the shirts out from under you after you told him you wanted the used shirts. Then he was all over the place like he has a severe case of OCD. I ended up stressed out after watching this one.
Imagine being there! It was very frustrating. Normally I would of left after that if it wasn’t for the Jordan magazines. A collection like that doesn’t come up often.
I'll buy that Jordan comic
I’m holding onto that for now. Thanks though.
Great video awesome finds
Thank you!
My heart sinks when I think about all the Beckett and Slam magazines that I used to have. Damn it! 😢😂😂
Yea, it’s crazy! I was so happy to have found these.
Dude when he said $50 for the box and then started going through them....JEEZ
I know! It was super frustrating. I already agreed to buy the whole box!
The worst kind of garage sale. It was getting on my nerves just watching it.
Imagine being there. It was able to eventually work out a deal but it was a long day. I was there for a hour. It was really hot out too. It was mentally and physically exhausting, lol.
That’s a dream garage sale in my book! Prices were great and there’s times to negotiate and then there’s times to just agree on their prices when they r very fair. At some point it’s just being a petty cheap skate when ur haggling over a deal that is already incredibly fair
At the end of the day, we were able to work things out.
The most I’ve got in one haul of comics was 980 for $500. I made my money back on 4 comics alone, but…. There was a lot of filler not worth listing. I worked some shows and the go great! At least $1500 profit.
That’s awesome! I try to follow the 80/20 rule. I try to make back my money on 20% of the items. The rest us gravy then.
Wow, lucky to hit a garage sale like that!! Man he had lots of jordan stuff!
Thank you! It’s the magazine haul that I have been searching for!
Great buy I would have done it to
Thanks! There is a lot of room to make money on it.
No, not unless you have some history showing those magazines are in demand. Not on census may just mean there is no demand for them. Are they selling raw for big bucks? You could spend a ton of money grading those and lose a ton of money.
Yes and no. High graded Jordan magazines have a history of doing well. Generally speaking, Jordan collectibles usually do very well. Especially high graded cards with very low census. Some of these magazines do sell good raw, especially the ones new in bag. You are correct though. I could spend a ton of money and lose ton of money. With my experience selling graded items and sports collectibles I think we should do good on them. It would be a calculated risk. We will start out with a small sample size, something like 25 or less. If we can get a handful of 9.8. We will then go from there. I think it would be a more of a long tail item, but overall, I’m pretty confident that we will do very well with these. It’s just going to take time. Def not a quick flip or a quick grading process. I appreciate the feedback.
That guys math was frustrating.
Yes, it was very frustrating
Bro! I like this yard sale A LOT
It was right down your alley! He was a former dealer. You would of spent all day there!
@@pickingandpunching I definitely would’ve!
How do you find your yard sales? Just drive around or is it listed somewhere? I'm trying to find some on weekends and never find any in my town.
I would try Craigslist, Facebook market place, local newspapers, google garage sale in “insert city of big city close to you”, download the garage sale and yard sale finder apps in the App Store. They are free. Let me know how that works!
@@pickingandpunching rod I was reading some of the questions to see if I was the only one who was crusted with that guy. But what day does the paper show the yard sales.
@@Lovelytreasure18 great question. It really comes down to your local area. Newspaper listing are more old school and they are usually more common with small towns. Bigger towns charge a ton to advertise in the local paper. I would check with your local newspaper or local free newspaper. Friday and Saturdays would be a good starting point.
@@pickingandpunching rod did you get the message about the dvds?
@@Lovelytreasure18 yes, I have already responded to that comment.
Love MJ magazine !!!!
Me too! He is the GOAT!
Typical reseller look he has?? Hat, shorts, polo shirt.. I can spot em coming when I have sales😂🤣
Hahaha!
Hey man you must be a Saint. The guy was so over the place. I would have left.
Luckily I had experience dealing with similar people in the past. If I didn’t see the huge upside with the magazines, I would of left. He eventually came around and we were able to work out a deal.
Where do you get your vhs graded.
You can only get sealed VHS graded at the current moment. There are only three companies right now that do it. IGS, Beckett, and VGA. CGC will be doing it in the future. I prefer IGS. They are currently the market leader at the moment.
I wouldn’t have had the patience props on the score
I been hunting for months for some Jordan magazines that were in high grade condition. I hit the mother load at this sale. If it wasn’t for that, I would of left after the first couple of minutes.
He's always trying to confuse these sellers just pay them then shop some more.
I wouldn’t have been able to handle dude lol I’m 43 and i remember seeing some of those magazines back in the day. I think graded comic books and magazines are okay. I like reading them so i prefer ungraded.
It was hard situation for me to handle as well. I’m only a few years younger than you. I grew up on these magazines as well. I’ll have to go through them with a fine comb and will probably only have a portion of them graded. The rest I’ll be able to enjoy before I sell them off. The good thing is, there is a bunch of doubles on here. Thanks for watching!
Doesn't it take forever to get magazines back from grading?
Magazine turnaround times through CGC is about 6 months. Yes, I know it’s a long time. It could take a year if you have them pressed. I know go through a 3rd party presser to help reduce turnaround times. Last year I would just submit books to be graded every month. This way I would have new graded items getting graded and being returned to me every month. It’s a long process but more than worth it if your books come back 9.8’s.
@Picking and Punching I get all my comic books pressed by a 3rd party presser, it does help.
@@casino_comics I original used cgc pressing because I didn’t have a 3rd party presser that I trusted. Now I do. Using cgc pushed my comics to a year for pressing/grading.
Not worth getting graded probably cuz you cant look through a graded magazine
You can’t look through graded comics but people spend thousands on them. Same thing with sports magazines as well.
banging my head against the wall watching this. UGH
Imagine being there in person, lol. I was there a hour. It was a long process/battle. I was able to get a deal worked out at the end, but it wasn’t easy.
@@pickingandpunching I think he was battling with himself. Clearly knew his stuff but seemed like he didn't want to let it go.
@@philloomer I think you hit the nail on the head. He used to be a dealer and shut down his flea market booth. I think it was hard for him to let stuff go. Especially since he was from chicago area. A lot of that stuff had a special places in his heart.
Cha Ching but the dude at the sale😜
Yea, he wasn’t the easiest person to deal with. He is a former dealer though. It’s harder for them to let go sometimes.
What do you mean by graded. I feel bad because he tells you it’s a dollar on the shits then he says this one’s new and this one. I was just frustrated with him you were very patient. Oh well at least you bought a lot of stuff. I’m happy for you. Sonia
It was a frustrating process. I felt like he was getting overwhelmed with everyone showing up. Magazines, comic books, sports cards, etc. You can send them off to be professionally graded. They graded the books on a scale of 1-10. 9.8 is considered a top score since they allow the condition of the book to have a tiny flaw in it. 9.9 and 10 are considered unicorns (rare and almost non existent). After they grade them, they put them in a protective tamperproof case. Grading a book and incase the value tremendously.
Let’s say you have a magazine that is worth $20 raw (non graded). You send it off to get graded and get 9.8. Let’s say there is 500 of them professionally graded. Out of those 500, only 50 of them are graded at a 9.8. Now you have increased the rarity of the book because there is only 50 of them graded at the highest grade. Now that $20 book graded at a 9.8 maybe worth 5-10x the value of the raw book due to the rarity of the item at that graded number.
@@pickingandpunching I picked up a set of Seinfeld dvds. But I looked at them after I bought them for $1.49 each seasons and I feel bad. There’s smudges and some scratches I feel bad listing them. I have them on my save for later because I’m still trying to figure out what to do. Have you ever felt that way?sonia
@@pickingandpunching ok I get it now. But how much to get graded?
@@Lovelytreasure18 grading can be expensive. Comics are usually $20-$25 each and magazines are $30ish a piece. I also get my books pressed which is very similar to taking your cloths to the dry cleaner. They pressed them out to get them flat. It helps remove any wrinkles/curling the boom may have. It also helps remove light surface dirt that might be on the books. That’s an additional $15 per book. It could be very expensive process to do. That’s why I recommend people do their research first before jumping into grading. I also recommend a very small sample size at first, 5 or less when starting out. That way you can Minimize your loss if you mess up.
@@Lovelytreasure18 yea, I have made that mistake multiple times. Sometimes I’ll just log them up and sell them cheap or just cut my loss if they are bad. When I started selling video games and DVDs heavily, I invested in a disc cleaner. You can get one with all the supplies for $150-$200. I use it on video games and high end DVDs a lot.
This dude was hard to listen to. You really toughed this one out
I honestly think he got overwhelmed with everyone showing up at one time. He was a little tough to negotiate with at first but we were able to come to a big deal at the end.
Whole box?! Yup. $50 I'll do it.
How about this one? YUP I'll do $50 for the whole box. What about this one?
Bro here take this $50 and quit adking if I want what you just did a deal for. Lololol
It was sooooo frustrating! We already made a deal 3 times over, lol!
No you put all like 2 full boxes inside another box trying to be slick it's still the same amount .the reason you bought those shirt is because you know they don't cost a $1 n your still crying about it .
Oh, for Heavens sake! Was he on something? Sooo fruuussstraaating.
I don’t think so. I think he got overwhelmed because everyone showed up at one time. He was all over the place. We were able to work out a deal, but it wasn’t easy. It was a long day, lol
You were so patient. I would have just left screaming.
@@sheribrogden9247 I been waiting for a massive lot of newsstand Michael Jordan Magazines in great condition for a long time. If it wasn’t for that, I would of left.
Hey listen I understand the business of reselling, you want to buy really low and sell really high, but please don't get mad at people who are trying to do the same thing, even if it's a garage sale. I think people misunderstand a garage sale as everything for a dollar. But people are also trying to make money from their collections or inventory. So I do sales in my yard and give people a great price but not a price where I lose money, same items I price at collectibles conventions for way more and still get people to buy the items. So if it doesn't sell at the garage sale then it will sell on ebay or a show. But to claim it's frustrating because you can't get a deal of the century price is not a good look.
I appreciate you watching the video and responding but I think you may of missed what I was referring to as frustrating. You are correct, people can sell items for whatever they want. If you watch any of my other big buy videos, I have no problem paying up for items.
I agree to buy all the used shirts for a $1. He couldn’t tell me which ones were used or not. Other people came up and grabbed the other shirts. He told me $50 for the box of posters. After I agreed to buy them, he was pulling out posters to keep. He kept telling me to make a big pile that he would make me a deal if I buy In bulk. He wanted to $3 a license plate. When I asked how much for all seven, he took $1 off. Those things I found frustrating. If you watch to the end of the video, I ended up spending $400 at this sale. We were able to work out a deal that worked out best for both of us.
Pay closer attention! Ron wasn’t frustrated with pricing. Seller was indecisive, all over the place, most likely hard for seller to let go of certain items.
15:15- $700??
Sounded so defeated hahahah
God bless you man and Jesus loves you!
It was so hot out that day and I already had been out for two hours hitting up sales. The guy told me early that he wanted to clear out his bedroom. He had all the stuff in his bedroom. I thought I could save us both time and help clear out the space for him. When he hit me with $700, I knew I was in for a long day, lol. After rewatching it, you can hear it in my voice. You are right!
The dude seems like a tweaker.
I thought he was just overwhelmed with everything. You could be right though.
@pickingandpunching yeah, you are probably right. Anxiety can look like that sometimes, for sure.
“Frustrating” bc picking/punching loser couldn’t get low ball deals
😱😱😱
😳
The guy had killer prices just pick what you want and stop pestering prices
Prices were all over the place. Some were great, others not so much. When you do this full time, you have to try to negotiate when you can. Every dollar counts. At the end we were able to come to a big deal for a bunch of stuff.
