    My best finds were a 1920 silver ware set for $ 6.25 sold on EBay for $1,500. A 1950 ice blue tinsel tree I took out of the garbage-Free sold on EBay auction for $1350. At goodwill 12 frogs- 2 were signed- grabbed them all total of $53. Sold all on auction $1275. They were carved vintage frog ice fishing lures. I was happy with them All !

    Mine was a lot of 5 Haviland Limoges "Nappy" plates. They were one of the oldest marks and were in mint condition with double gold rims. I knew a lot about Haviland but had never seen this shape or pattern before, and it was not in any of the books. I finally found a sold listing on eBay Europe and that's how I discovered the actual name of the item. I paid $28 for them and listed them for $495. They sold within 14 hours. I have to admit, I love the research when you come across those one of a kind older items. Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy watching.

    Mine was a storage locker find owned by a family member of a famous impresario and rock concert promoter. We found original recordings of music tapes and a very nice piece of artwork. I too did a major rabbit hole search to find out the origins and owners. Very fun history lesson for me too! The Yale sweater is very cool and love the background rabbit hole to chased!

    Over a year ago I found a Panasonic boombox "RX-A5"...I bought it for $45 and it had just sold in december for $1200. When i first discovered it i was shaken taking it up to the thrift store counter because there was one that was mint listed for 2000. I had no idea what I would end up selling it for but I knew it was an amazing find once I seen that listing. Its amazing to me what one person will give/throw away, and what another person will pay for it. Love the content!

    My best find was a surprise find. Bought an older 35mm camera lot (camera, couple of lenses, bag etc) for$30. Bought it for the camera which sold for around 100. Sold off the lenses for a little bit of money as well then decided to list the bag to get 20 bucks or so off of it. Come to find out the bag new was worth over $1400. Ended up selling it for $480 on eBay. Nice accidental fine.

It was really cool and then he walked out.... and boy was he accurate for being an offensive lineman. His hands were bigger than my arm. LOL Anyway, bought for $10, sold for $150. I'll take it.
