      While you're shopping, pick up a decent camera, GoPro "Fish Eye" videos suck.
      If you need a camera that can take the abuse of extreme sports, GoPro is great, but if you want to make good up close video, even a 10-year-old smart phone is better than "Fish Eye".

    I'm in the middle of a 2 day yard sale right now. Kinda got rained out today - but the stuff I did sell - my brother and friend Dina couldn't believe when I sold some items pretty cheap. One was a now older old digital camera that still worked fine but not so many megapixels - and when the guy told me it was going in Fire Engine #2 for on the scene photos - I said it's yours please take it for the FD. Other things I let go ridiculously low. My point is I'm done with these things - I got my pleasure out of them - and if someone else wants to buy, store, advertise, sell on ebay or marketplace or whatever - please be my guest. I just want to pare down all the "Stuff" I collected and want it gone. If you make a profit -be my guest. I furnished my whole house on yard sales at one time and it was great, and I found some eclectic stuff. But as you age it's time to pass it on.

      I like your attitude. The purpose of yard sales is to decrease the amount of clutter you have, not to make a large profit at your tiny temporary thrift shop.
      I can't tell you how many yard sales I've been to where the stuff being sold was barely below retail.
      "Really? You want 25 dollars for this? For another ten bucks I can get it brand new with a 1 year warranty!"
      And instead of lowering the price most people I've encountered just shrug and say "Maybe you should pay the extra ten bucks then"

    If you are going to buy speakers, you have to pop off the covers and check the foam around the edges. If the foam is worn, or missing you will have to take them apart, pick up a kit and install new foam before anyone will purchase them and you will have to know what you are doing when you install the new foam. I just picked up a set of $600 speakers with the foam worn away for $40. I will be installing new foam and high end capacitors because they wear out too and degrade the sound quality.

    I picked up two tools at a yard sale and I consider them to be one of the best purchases I've ever made.
    The first one was a 16 ounce Estwing hammer that still had stickers on it for $2.00 . The second one was a heavy mattock digging tool. Just the head, which I paid $0.50 for.
    I needed such a tool for various projects around the house.
    I took the time to clean the head up and repaint it with the red that I paint my yard tools with at the end of season and I bought a new fiberglass handle for it. The darn thing is pretty much indestructible .
    I'm a carpenter that doesn't frame anymore but my job has me hanging doors and repairs etc. So the 16 ounce was a great purchase and I use it every day

      Bonus because the drone could have caused an explosion from the lithium batteries if it had made it into a garbage truck.

One nephew (12) got an adult size set, one nephew (9) got a youth size set in a blue bag, and my niece ( 7) got a small set in a pink bag.

  • @chadfield376
    @chadfield376 Рік тому +7

    Just stumbled on your video; looks like you got a good system there, the flip side of your garage/yard sale finds is having a good shipping plan for those items after you list them on eBay or whatever your preferred online selling format is. I personally always get screwed on the shipping it seems and that’s even doing a close estimate on weight and package dimensions. Using that putter as an example, what packaging would you use and how do you decide what to charge to ship to say Maine? The other trick is, you have to be able to wait out your items meaning it could take 2-3weeks for someone to buy that putter on EBay.

    • @beardedthriftmachine
      @beardedthriftmachine  Рік тому +6

      It's calculated shipping through ebay - then we use pirate ship to buy the label. So a putter 4x4x40 box weights 2lbs going to Maine close to $8 shipping ups

    Every garage seller knows the young guy isn't looking for stuff for personnel use. It's hard to get a good deal around where I live. Most of the time, people have close to retail on everything but clothes. Why are clothes priced cheap at sales? I have jeans never washed that my son wore once that cost $140, yet I can't get $20 for them at a sale. I've put brand new clothes with tags on them and still can't get but 50 cents for them.
    I don't find name brand stuff often but when I do, the sellers know and I often end up telling them I'll be the new one for that price and get the warranty. Most suppliers are checking to see if you bought the item from them. If you didn't, they won't exchange it even though it has a lifetime warranty.
    Ebay has screwed me several times and so I haven't listed anything in yrs. It really sucks to charge $40 for shipping on something that cost $90 to ship, yet ebay comes back and says I charged too much for shipping and makes me refund the money or have my acct suspended.

    that mac combination wrench that you have there is a CL 20 it is a left handed combination wrench. I know you think I'm being funny, a left handed wrench, but you can see for yourself. Lay the wrench down beside any of the other combination wrenches with the box end pointing up , notice that the other wrenches all have an open end with the jaws pointing towards the left. Now look at the CL 20 and notice that the open end jaws point towards the right. that's because it gives the left handed person mechanical advantage, where as the others are advantaged in favor of the right handed person. you learn something every day. it would be nice to have a whole set of those wrenches

      Wooden mallets are used on softer items that would be damaged by steel mallets. A lot of leather workers use them on their punches so as not to damage the punches.

    I look for computers and components, as I rebuild these for a church projects. I found several laptops for almost nothing, the only thing wrong is that they had older versions of Windows installed. Easy fixed, as I install Linux and even an old IBM Thinkpad can be used on the internet using Puppy Linux. Also I look for stuff to fit the 3rd generation Ford Ranger.
