      Hey I liked that song I was jamming to it till you turned it off. Was it bothering you or to loud, if to loud just turn it down, it at least gives you some background music and music makes you happy.

    I think if you did scrap, do it for certain things. Personally right now I primarily cut cords along with grabbing rotors and other auto cast. With the cords it's pretty easy and I just stopped at a house last week that had 6 vacuums out( don't ask me why they stockpiled vacuums that don't work lol)
    Last time I turned in some of my cords and I had 70 lbs and ended up getting about $30 something for it. Still have probably close to another 80 lbs and my attitude is that it's there on the curb anyway and doesn't take much effort to get them

    • @TexanPicker

    I wouldn’t scrap at all. I watch at least 10 or more scrappers on UA-cam and the prices are so low it’s almost a joke. Stick to picking and reselling, there’s a lot more money. Maybe sometime you could answer questions about the experience of your garage sale, what sold the most what didn’t sell and you’ll leave on the curb next time, when is your next garage sale, will it be in the fall and will you carry more holiday items for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas? When I watch the flea market especially in the northeast area for the scrappers on UA-cam it’s tools, tools, tools that sale, is it like that in your area? Any information you can pass on would be appreciated.

    • @TexanPicker
      @TexanPicker  5 років тому

      MeMe Cats I think you’re right. Picking to resell is the way to go.
      My garage sell went very well. Everything has the potential to sell. Just need to be priced right. I sold everything from antiques and home decor to toys and video games. Clothing does well here in my area as does vintage toys and gaming. What I struggle with the most is home decor. It needs to be the right piece for the right person at the right price. I would still pick it up though because if all else fails it’ll go to Goodwill and they do well with home decor.
      My next sale will probably be early fall if I can have one. My schedule is going to be really busy this coming fall and it may even put a hold on picking and making videos. Hopefully not too bad.

    The best way to scrap and resell at the same time is to keep a empty bin in your truck with a magnet, only collect the money items copper, Brass and all insulated wire. Start with that, when i watch your vids i see a lot of those items. Extra cash your already there!

    Hey have you considered picking up the clothes and accessories and taking the to some place like Clothes Mentor or Plato’s closet? You’re leaving behind some top name brands in each episode. You can also sell tags off of Coach purses. If you’re picking in nice neighborhoods their clothes are going to be nice too.

      I’ve taken some clothes to Platos closet before. But I’m in no way up to date with fashion. I feel like they’ve tried to rip me off before when I took a bunch of Miss Me jeans and the offered what I thought was really low. Now I usually just donate to this really non profit I really like. I know I don’t make anything, but if someone is gonna gain from my stuff , I’d rather it be them than Platos. I also have a couple people who are resellers that I’ve made huge bundle deals for.
