    I have learned to put items in my cart even if questionable because someone else will grab it. Then before leaving I go through my cart to see what I want to keep or leave behind. That's when I look things up to make sure what it's worth, etc.

    5:29. Bottom, left. Looks like a lid to a VitaMix blender, or similar. I have had good luck selling such lids. Some you can get as much as $25 for easily. People often need them for their expensive Vitamix, BlendTec blenders, because they lose them, need an extra one, or they bought one on Ebay, but missing the lid. I always grab them. Vitamix and Blentec bl;ender parts always sell fast for me. Carafe.. Base units, lids.. etc. Food pushers, as well. People always need replacement parts. Also, Breville Juicer parts sell fast and for decent money. Grab them (especially if cheap).

    Go through the old computers too. What you're looking for are the old sound cards. A working soundblaster can fetch over 100 dollars. Well worth your time learning about them and I get them for less than 2 bucks a piece

    Sometimes at ours you can bargain to pass less per pound for a heavy item, also ours prices differently than yours. Ours is just by weight (by major type - clothes vs shoes vs books). I have found $80 items in the bins, plus one time, cash (and from a bin that was there over the weekend).

    • @DarkRoseTreasures
      @DarkRoseTreasures 4 роки тому +1

      Copied from a website: Precious Metals Aren’t Magnetic
      Gold, silver, and platinum are not magnetic. The next time you spot precious metal, put it to the test. Take your coin or piece of jewelry, and place a strong magnet on top of the object. Slowly tilt your metal item to see if the magnet sticks to the object by the magnetic pull, or if it slides off onto the ground.
      If the metal attracts the magnet, you know it must be an alloy mixture and not a precious metal.

    First time watching you dig. Other utube people have awesome Bins. Mine are lousy but I still go sometimes. Always gloved and a mask. The dust is to much! I used to home school. I would have bought a game, and wrote the company for the missing rules. And I would have grabed just the paper out of that box, light weight. I don't shop to sell. Yesterday I found 7 vintage music sheets . One is worth $120.00 It's a first addition. The pictures are AMAZING. The other 6 priced at 10 to 20.00 bucks. Yes, I do dig!
