I have been selling part time on "that selling website" since 2018 and I sell over $8,000 a month and thats my side gig! Partly completed cross stitch kits sell!!! On your phone, whenever you're wondering the selling rate of an item, search the item, look at how many are currently selling, then go to "filter" then click "show more" and scroll down to "sold". The solds are showing how many sold in a 3 month period. Example, vintage sunbeam fry pan has 381 currently listed but only 91 sold in a 3 month period which is about 10% sell thru rate per month. I check these statistics prior to purchasing something. You may be holding onto that fry pan for 10 months before it sells. I try to sell my items within a 3 month time frame. I wont flip something under a 35% sell thru rate per month unless you are willing to hold onto it and take up space. I tell myself, I'm in the selling market, not the storage market when I decide if I want to flip something. I know you want to keep the fry pan but this was just an example I quickly looked up ...Hope this helps!
You have to do a ton of volume to make money. Believe me, I know. Plus the store usually takes a 10% commission on everything you sell. It is rare to come across things that you can actually make a lot of money on. I’m in an antique mall and sales have been down all summer. Money is tight right now. I think since she finds such random things she’d be better off selling on EBay.
8:43 I had found a crystal bowl exactly like that, it was lead crystal. While the bowl is resting on a table and you tap something against it and it makes a pretty ''ringing'' sound, it is definitely lead crystal. I sold it for I think 30 bucks back in the mid 1990's.
Committ an amount of money ($100) and offer on your store site just to see if there is interest. Someone needing supplies for a DIY wedding or shower or birthday party might be interested. That’s some pretty stuff.
❤❤❤ Yes. eBay or marketplace. I think the scary looking farm implement with the two handles and the blade I think that’s for scraping bark off logs when you’re making a log cabin. There are apps you can get that will help you identify the items and there worth. I checked it out but it does have a cost to it so I didn’t go forward with the app but if it’s a business expense for you - it might be worth it. Sometimes cleaning the item can make it worth less so I would not clean or shine up the items. I would just leave it.
The sharp tool is for wood working like a big (sp) plane to make a flat surface on rough cut lumber. ( Just showed it to hubby. I was wrong. It's a draw knife for debarking fence posts.)
Grandma had a lamp just like yous back on the farm from the late 60s through 1996 when her household contents were auctioned off before going to an assisted living apartment. I would move them to a low-traffic location inside the house away from possible bouncing balls, car doors or possible mouse munching on the electric cord in the garage. You might try advertising the lace items on your site as they would be easiest to ship to viewers out of state. Maybe check into consignment shops or antique dealers to sell to in Colorado where people would pay more for the items than in your area?
The tool is used to sit facing a log, then pulling tool toward you, smoothing and planing the log; logs are them used for building a log cabin or furniture.
I have no idea how to find the right people but there are people who travel the country buying MCM stuff to sell in their MCM stores. You wouldn’t make near as much money as selling yourself but you also wouldn’t have the hassle of shipping items and you’d still be making a very good profit.
I bought similar lamps like that with amber glass. I paid $20 for the pair and sold them for $100. See what you can get for them. I personally think they are ugly! If there is someone out there that wants them, let them have them. LOL! I would not destroy them. There are people that would love them just as they are.
I have run a thrift store for over 20 years. Believe me when I say that you are traveling down a rabbit hole you do not want to go down. I am in the middle of the cornfields. Things like what you have are in all the basements around here. No one around here wants them. I do not have enough time to list them and/or locate buyers for this stuff. I am presently sitting on top of a signed crystal lamp I cannot get rid of. (Has sold for $500 on ebay) Oftentimes, I just give the stuff, for free, to people, from other areas/states, just to get rid of it and to keep it from going into the landfill. Things are only worth what the buyers you find are willing to pay for it. You do well with the business you are presently involved with. The resale business will eat you up as you search to try to get what you perceive to be the value of something. Times are changing and buyers are getting harder and harder to find. My suggestion to you........Keep your sanity and RUN!!
That's awesome! Bought some white ones like those. 5 bucks each.Mine has lights inside the glass part. Keep them and use them as they are! They're beautiful! 😊
Determine what your time is worth whether or not you want to set up a booth somewhere at an antique shop or list them on eBay. The effort and the time you put into it is priceless and may not end up being worth it. Just something to think about.
Wow...some great finds! WTG! My son use to buy full estate sales and then resell items. Lately, he found something that was valued at $4500!!!!! He's selling the item for $2000. Hasn't sold yet but still...
I follow a young lady who thrifts for resale. She uses Square Space and What Not to market her items. She says they are user friendly sites. If you're looking to side hustle a few things, maybe those are a place to start? Good luck!
The crochet items and linens would be good to sell at the prices you’re seeing. The coffee pot I’d jeep for power outages, good as a cowboy coffee pot. For the lamps, Go by the actual sale price. If items seem to be going for too much than others sales (like a 50 dollar Pyrex that someone sold for 1,000) then there is some type of money passing through hands business. Just like what happens in the art world.
It’s a tree bark scraper Man, I’d love that! 🥰 Woman, you could be making bank on your stuff. ❤ Any real silver you have, keep it. You might need it down the road for real money Sell the lamps for bank!!
On e-bay, Etsy, Instagram and sometimes our local merketplace..in the summer in a local town there is one day a month at a fair grounds where they make as much as $3,000 in one day...people come from all over!
I would try to sell the lamps. Midcentury items can go for a high price depending on what it is. If you don’t sell them on eBay then I’m not sure where to sell them. If you don’t sell on line, don’t expect to get as high a price as those you saw. You won’t get that price in an antique mall or on Marketplace because you won’t have the volume of shoppers. If I have an item to sell that I look up on EBay, I always ask a lower price. Also just because an item is a certain price doesn’t mean it’s worth that much or that it will sell. I have items on my watch list on EBay that are still for sale after two years.
I am not into selling online or even locally, so everything goes to thrift stores, nonprofits, of course! I just sent two identical lamps to our thrift store a couple of months ago. Yes, I knew how much they were worth. My aunt got tired of them and passed them to my mother, who thought they were ugly, as did I…. I also jettisoned the exact lead crystal bowl with the silver ring around the top we received for a wedding gift in 1977. I moved it across the county several times and only used it a couple of times.
You can figure out how much things have sold for on eBay by going to advanced search and clicking on complete and sold items, to see what things are really selling for. When I thought I might have to take something or lose my job as a nurse in LTC, I seriously considered reselling. The Crazy Lamp Lady on UA-cam talks about finding sold comps.
Do NOT believe the prices you see on EBay or other online sites. I had a collection of rare cherry blossom Depression glass valued at over $50,000. After a year I donated them to our local hospice thrift store. I even contacted a local antique dealer who told me to dump them - nobody wants or can afford to buy these types of items.
Those lamps are cool vintage mid century modern as well as those multi level side tables/ coffee table. Our house was built in the 1950s and we really enjoy MCM and look for vintage pieces for our house. MCM is hot right now in interior design try selling the things. Hard to find a match set if you collect vintage. Lamps are super cool.
I love the antique serving dishes and linens. I have a lot of handmade crochet dollies and handkerchiefs family made that I would never sell. They are beautiful however, there are people who will buy them. But money is tight right now. The lamps are gorgeous. That would be a good profit if they sell. Depends on the hassle to use eBay. Good luck.
I was looking for something like that cobblers bench for the foyer. Couldn’t find any. They are great when you need to take a break going up the stairs in a split level.
Putting them in your store for the viewers....do you have rich viewers or ones that are frivolously spending money? I sure don't & I'm assuming the bulk of your viewers lean toward frugal. In our family, we do put some things on ebay. It can be helpful, but it's plenty of effort. I think the lamps are really pretty as is, couldn't you use them somewhere in your home? The shades are so unique & the way the base lights up is a nice vintage touch. ~Mary
Sell the lamps. I recently sold a small alumni Christmas tree in origin al bix fir 75.00 I paid .50cents fir it at a yard sale. I sold my mother's color light reflector that goes with that tree for 200 . I know my.kuds dint want as if this stuff. Sell it and save the.mibey fur something spelucal
Those lamps are hot. Would be at least $100’s of dollars you’d lose making them into table legs. Have you thought of Etsy? And there are really good FB mid century modern groups that you could go to for advice. They’d swoon over these. 🤩 Ok just posted a picture of them on a Mid Century Modern group I belong to. It’s very early in the morning for me, I hope it’s ok that I did that. I’ll check back with them in a few hours. 🙂
Nice items! As far as silverplated stuff goes, it is hit or miss. I have had silverplated stuff up and not able to sell on FB marketplacr...maybe it being a pain to polish...I just don't know. I would try to sell and if you can't sell it, use it or gift it. Great video!
I never buy vintage. I'm scared it might be haunted. Tawra you have a garage full of vintage things. Have you ever heard noises coming from the garage in the dead of night? Or put an item in one place and then come back a day later to find its moved to the other side of the garage?
I understand what you're saying. I go to antique shops fairly often, but there's one I won't go to anymore because of all the Freemason items. I know that Proverbs 26:2 says an undeserved curse doesn't come to rest, so that puts me at ease if I buy an old toy or book or something like that. But I respect your position.

Sell them. Apparently there are people whose mission in life is to rescue them.
Don’t cut up the lamps!
SELL! At least try. Since they aren't your family heirlooms make some cash.
Take the money and run!
Those lamps are beautiful please do not destroy them. Sell them

Thanks so much! That was very helpful!
Sell the lamps!
Put the money in your emergency fund.
The blade, used to smooth our logs for log cabins, vintage linen going high priced!! You need to check these things out.
There’s got to be a vintage website where you can sell all your treasures. DON’T destroy those lamps. If you can get that much for them, GO FOR IT!!!
Sell everything! Why are you holding onto the stuff? Cha-ching!!!
Love these videos when you do them! It would be great to see a "living on a dime resale department" in your shop on your page!
Open a booth at an antique store or do a flea market
Antique Mall was what I was thinking too...

I think since she finds such random things she’d be better off selling on EBay.
Absolutely start selling some of it. It's a good income stream and you work hard!
Just remember check the sold comp prices not what is listed
That was the sold price.
MCM furniture and decor is really selling high right now! It's crazy what has come back into style
The blade with two handles is used to debark logs when making a cabin or furniture. Sit on the log and pull the blade toward you.

Sometimes cleaning the item can make it worth less so I would not clean or shine up the items. I would just leave it.
Do a show on selling the items. What you did, how it went and how much you made over a months time. That would be fun to watch.
My parents had similar old lamps, but theirs were amber colored and yes, the ''belly'' lit up just like yours does.
The sharp tool is for wood working like a big (sp) plane to make a flat surface on rough cut lumber. ( Just showed it to hubby. I was wrong. It's a draw knife for debarking fence posts.)
At most frontier festivals, etc. they will have people using the draw knife while debarking and smoothing logs for cabins, furniture, etc.
Grandma had a lamp just like yous back on the farm from the late 60s through 1996 when her household contents were auctioned off before going to an assisted living apartment.

Exactly!

That's awesome! Bought some white ones like those. 5 bucks each.Mine has lights inside the glass part. Keep them and use them as they are! They're beautiful! 😊
Vintage items are valuable!
Don't, make a table out of those lamps, all the other pieces, I would use first.I used to sell on Ebay, but not any longer. 😊
Determine what your time is worth whether or not you want to set up a booth somewhere at an antique shop or list them on eBay. The effort and the time you put into it is priceless and may not end up being worth it. Just something to think about.
Omg!!! The thrift stores now are charging soo much it’s almost impossible to do resale
Wow...some great finds! WTG! My son use to buy full estate sales and then resell items. Lately, he found something that was valued at $4500!!!!! He's selling the item for $2000. Hasn't sold yet but still...
Oh my I got a lamp like that....Holy cowza wowza
Sell the lamps in a consignment shop. Put small easy to ship items on your existing e-commerce site.
Please don't break up the lamps. They are fabulous!
lol, I had lamps like that in the 90’s that was my mom’s. Only worth what someone will pay.
What you want to look at is the sold items prices. You'll see some that sold that are much less than the top line prices.
Yes that's why I showed you the sold price.
I remember when those were in peoples livingrooms!
Yes! You should start selling some of that stuff! Finish paying off the house faster!
I follow a young lady who thrifts for resale. She uses Square Space and What Not to market her items. She says they are user friendly sites. If you're looking to side hustle a few things, maybe those are a place to start? Good luck!
Thanks! I'll check it out!
don't destroy the lamps. they must be special. at least those I would list on your web site or ebay.
It's for shaving tree logs
The crochet items and linens would be good to sell at the prices you’re seeing. The coffee pot I’d jeep for power outages, good as a cowboy coffee pot. For the lamps, Go by the actual sale price.

Beanie Baby money laundering!!
That's an antique draw knife for shaping logs into beams. I'd love to have it.
It’s a tree bark scraper
Man, I’d love that! 🥰
Woman, you could be making bank on your stuff. ❤
Any real silver you have, keep it. You might need it down the road for real money
Sell the lamps for bank!!
Our twin daughters make their living off of vintage finds and do very well!😊
Where do they do there selling at?
On e-bay, Etsy, Instagram and sometimes our local merketplace..in the summer in a local town there is one day a month at a fair grounds where they make as much as $3,000 in one day...people come from all over!
That saw? Is it for stripping bark off logs?
A draw knife.
I sell them, pay off your house first. Then use what is left to put in your emergency fund.

The lamps are not midcentury.
Wow. I used to own lamps like this.
I believe it was used to scrap bark off of logs
The lamps would be hard to ship IMO.
I'd sell them Tawra.
I am not into selling online or even locally, so everything goes to thrift stores, nonprofits, of course! I just sent two identical lamps to our thrift store a couple of months ago.

They take overprice on internet.. Not often got sold for these prices,,, Keep the lamps, don´t destroy them!
It’s for scrapping down wood
Perhaps you can find someone to sell them on Consignment. I would go after the $2800 with the lamp.
offer up is good place
You can figure out how much things have sold for on eBay by going to advanced search and clicking on complete and sold items, to see what things are really selling for.
When I thought I might have to take something or lose my job as a nurse in LTC, I seriously considered reselling. The Crazy Lamp Lady on UA-cam talks about finding sold comps.
What about etsy? Is that any better than ebay?
nice video and always look at solds not just listed prices- Mercari is a good place as well
The lamps are so pretty! Get new shades and use them if they work with your living room decor.
Do NOT believe the prices you see on EBay or other online sites. I had a collection of rare cherry blossom Depression glass valued at over $50,000. After a year I donated them to our local hospice thrift store. I even contacted a local antique dealer who told me to dump them - nobody wants or can afford to buy these types of items.
I suggest removing the price stickers from the items made of fabric. The adhesive can ruin them.
Those lamps are cool vintage mid century modern as well as those multi level side tables/ coffee table. Our house was built in the 1950s and we really enjoy MCM and look for vintage pieces for our house. MCM is hot right now in interior design try selling the things. Hard to find a match set if you collect vintage. Lamps are super cool.
PS, I wonder if the green glass in those lamps is the same as the green glass jars you have??
LOL I have no idea. It didn't even occur to me. I'll have to check!
I’m 99% sure they’re not uranium glass. By the look and era.
You should never tell what you gave for a product. Nobody will want to pay the mark up price
That tool I believe is to use to plane/shave wood. I remember seeing Charles Ingalls use it on Little House.
The vintage double handled tool i forgot what it's called, is used to remove the bark off trees to make logs for cabins or turn the logs into lumber.
I love the antique serving dishes and linens. I have a lot of handmade crochet dollies and handkerchiefs family made that I would never sell. They are beautiful however, there are people who will buy them. But money is tight right now. The lamps are gorgeous. That would be a good profit if they sell. Depends on the hassle to use eBay. Good luck.
I was looking for something like that cobblers bench for the foyer. Couldn’t find any. They are great when you need to take a break going up the stairs in a split level.
Flip those things! People love vintage!
I would attempt to sell it all! Great finds!
Use them as is or sell them. I wouldn’t deconstruct
Sell them! What's wrong with eBay?
Ka-ching!!
That is a draw knife. It's a really hand woodworking hand tool.
You can shave barked off a tree with that tool
Putting them in your store for the viewers....do you have rich viewers or ones that are frivolously spending money? I sure don't & I'm assuming the bulk of your viewers lean toward frugal.

Sell the lamps. I recently sold a small alumni Christmas tree in origin al bix fir 75.00 I paid .50cents fir it at a yard sale. I sold my mother's color light reflector that goes with that tree for 200
. I know my.kuds dint want as if this stuff. Sell it and save the.mibey fur something spelucal
Just remember that you can take them to places that will professionally pack them for you. It would be worth it if you sell them for that much!
The medal blade thing looks like it's made for shaving wood. Probably to make wooden shingles.
You should resell! Its not that hard on eBay. I need to come out by you shopping! I resell on eBay and FB marketplace! Love vintage items!
Please share why you don’t like eBay
That's a draw knife used to cut extra wood off spindles when making chairs.
Those lamps are hot. Would be at least $100’s of dollars you’d lose making them into table legs.
Have you thought of Etsy? And there are really good FB mid century modern groups that you could go to for advice. They’d swoon over these. 🤩
Ok just posted a picture of them on a Mid Century Modern group I belong to. It’s very early in the morning for me, I hope it’s ok that I did that. I’ll check back with them in a few hours. 🙂
Thanks I don't mind. Yes I realize now that I need to just sell them. Now just figuring it out how to do it.
They are not mcm
Make sure the paint on the plates don't contain lead
Sell sell sell🎉
Keep the things you really like and instead of repurposing the lamps, sell them.
Nice items! As far as silverplated stuff goes, it is hit or miss. I have had silverplated stuff up and not able to sell on FB marketplacr...maybe it being a pain to polish...I just don't know. I would try to sell and if you can't sell it, use it or gift it. Great video!

LOL no.
I love dollies
I have some old tole lamps from my grandmother that are worth about that much... I dont want to deal with Ebay either...lol...
Don’t destroy those gorgeous lamps. Sell them.
Antique vintage booth
facebook market place. do not destroy the!
Ebay will reach more people.
Flea market or auction
