    Great job. Makes me a little sad that the woman's father spent so much time collecting that stuff and his daughter didn't seem to value it at all. Sad. The up side is that once you list those items and sell them maybe some other collector will be excited to find them. Always love watching you.

      I can't understand why folks are making negative comments about the lady selling her father's things. It is important to remember that this is just stuff. Yes her father spent his time and money collecting it and I'm sure he enjoyed doing so. Just because she isn't keeping these things doesn't mean she doesn't value it or her father. We all have our own things we like to collect or treasure. I wouldn't expect for my daughter to keep everything I have collected or owned. If its not something she's interested in why should she be burdened with storing it, when she can let it go for others to collect and enjoy. I'm sure she kept some special things of her father, she just doesn't need to keep everything. The amount of things you keep doesn't equal the amount of love you have for them.

    My grandfather owned "the Limberlost cabins" in central New York for 30 years. He kept all the change from multiple vending machines. He died about 1960 and my 10 yr old brother got the windfall. 33 shoeboxes of silver dimes and quarters later, he kept a few and sold the rest for smelt value. He divided up the $30,000 among us kids. I wonder how much was in those coins if they were sorted and priced.

      Probably nothing. Unless they are in great condition, melt value is what you are looking at, and silver currency is only 90% silver to boot, so they like to short you by adding in the "refining fees".....
      If you were to go into a coin dealer, with that many coins especially, they would give you a generic price and if you insisted on having the good ones picked out, they would dock your price to do that work for you, and then you would have to pay to have them graded and certified, assuming there were any of value in the lot. And then, because the dealer would be holding your stuff for so long, he would feel more entitled to give you an insultingly low offer......if they hadnt already decided that amongst the thousands of coins, you wouldnt notice a few missing, possibly your best ones.
      These days, a silver quarter is worth over $3 though lol. Even if abusively circulated lol.

    • @angiecrowell3747
      @angiecrowell3747 2 роки тому +1

      Wow! No telling the money that was melted. Some rare coins are selling for well over $30,000 each. Coin dealers are going to just weigh it, then give about half of melt value or less. They would not went through them for you. They would for themselves. So $1,100 per shoebox full of silver coins? Wow. I know I would not hesitated to have bought that. Im still sick over my grandpas collection getting stolen from my house. So im sure you probably are sick over your ordeal as well.

    With that many small items, being lower values, I think it might benefit you to list them in lots, saving you time, and shipping costs (even though you probably have buyers pay for that). Even the coins and medals I would lot out, unless you come across some of more value, say like $25 and up. Just makes it a lot easier for you.

    Great finds! I think those tongs are for moving logs in a fire. We had something similar and used them when a log rolled into the back of the fire place. We would pick up the log and put it back on top of the burning wood. That was before you turned on a fire place with a key.

    The long "tong" shaped tools are for wood stoves and fireplaces where you need to grab burning logs or coals and reposition them.

    Don at the Auction Professor did a small video on poker chips. He talks about some of the blue and pink ones from one of those white containers. Worth the time to watch.

    3:47 There are some small teddy bears. They may or may not be the mini Boyd’s bears. If they are, a lot of them go for around $40 each. Some of them even go for $400-$500. Crazy!

    Hi Julian - Check and see if the casinos they came from are still honoring the value of the chips. That's a great find, I would have bought them too. I will be taking more money with me to garage sales.

    0:35 I have that exact tackle box, bought it at a garage sale 30 years ago or more for $3. I replaced it with a bigger Plano I bought new, bonus is you can send away to them and get a little nameplate to go on it :) I still use the old tackle box, it's my travelling art case :) edit 8:35 if you look closely there you can see the place where the nameplate goes, so I guess they have always done it?

      I bought a wooden box full of knick knacks at an estate sale recently for six bucks, and it was full of tie clips, tie tacks, medallions, etc. some of which go for $10-20 dollars each on Ebay, Mercari and other sites.
      Always BOLO for boxes full of knick knacks at sales. They could have items and even spare change like pennies that could be worth a lot.

    I recently retired and have a lot of “STUFF” to get rid of ….it obviously meant something to me at one time. Sometimes you just feel like chucking the whole bunch but I don’t want to do that. I am slowly trying to learn how to sell things online. but I do realize that’s a lot of work. I could use the money being on a fixed income. I have no children or brothers or sisters to leave anything to just my fiancé and if something happens to me, I do not want to leave him with all my things! Thank you for being an inspiration for me, as I am just in the beginnings of sorting through things😅
