      @@lullysmommyify Some are adjustable. I have a couple pair from my Dad who used them for his dress shoes. Some will have small inserts which allow you to push the leather out if someone has bunions, bone spurs or something else like it. Very few younger people use them now since the cost of good shoes is not cheap. My son spends about $200 per pair for his shoes and he has four or five dress shoes.

    There's all sorts of hidden gold at yard sales if you're willing to take your time to look.
    These are the two best and most profitable items I ever found at yard sales.
    1. A leather covered wood box with a metal miniature windmill inside, completely disassembled and each component in its own felt lined section. Everything on it was detailed down to miniature nuts and bolts. The guy said it was an old toy and wanted $50 firm for it.
    What I had bought was a salesman's sample, in perfect condition, of a Woodmanse windmill, a company that went out of business in 1929.
    It sold on an eBay auction for $7500.
    2. A Green Hornet Airplane inflatable pool toy from the 60's, still in the original box for $5.
    The lady was OCD about her children carefully putting away their toys when they were done playing. (Thank goodness)
    It had been stored indoors and was in perfect condition and even still held air when inflated.
    It sold on eBay for $1750.

    5 hours of buying not 5 hours of work. You still have to include packing and going to the shipper. Your hourly rate is off and doesn't include per mile cost of car which should include per mile cost of maintenance. This is a great hobby but if you are planning on making a living on it you are going to disappointed in how much you actually make. It's a fun side hustle though. I enjoy it.

      @@beardedthriftmachine My motto when it comes to yard sales is "Everything should be priced at least 50% off what it sold new". Everything is used, so don't expect me to buy used but pay for new. My mom loved to go to yard sales and I followed along with her to carry the stuff. She was 89 when she passed and she and a couple of sisters had gone out to the yard sales/garage sales a month before she had her final illness. I stopped going to yard sales since I still have too much stuff of my own which I need to eliminate from my stock. One of my neighbors passed away about a year ago and the buyers of the property took over all the "stuff" stored in his barn (actually a workshop where he built airplanes and an upstairs apartment for his daughter when she lived at home.) Another neighbor passed and his 10,000 sf shop was full of equipment from his "home business". (He was an aeronautic engineer who never retired).
