Reebok weights... You know its never good when they start with "I paid _ for them.....
No Doubt. I was putting them down as soon as I heard that. LOL
LOL! That's true! I paid.....😝🤣
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Leon Allan Instablaster =)
You're not cheap, you're reasonable! And as a former library employee, I can tell you any donated books either go to a sale or get recycled. He'd be much better off taken unsold books to a veterans' home or assisting living. Always a great time picking with you-- thanks for the ride!
I was at a huge sale yesterday that had gotten a lot of books from the leftover library sale ones. A worker at that sale said that the library puts the unwanted ones into the dumpster. Broke my heart.
Kind of a cheap offer considering the worth but I get it.
@@brendamaun5455 for the library to put donated books into a dumpster is like a slap in the face with a wet towel. They should offer them free on Craigslist but I bet they couldn't be bothered. That's so sad and wasteful.
@@roastbeefsandwich6769 Absolutely. There are at least 5 Little Free Libraries in our town that could help get them into folks' hands as well. I'm sure they'd tell me it was too much trouble. There is also an Freecycle site to be used. It is just heartbreaking.
He was trying to get them at 90 percent return. No matter how you look at it that's pretty damn cheap
Donate to the library? Huh... so let's not take 100 bucks? What? The library will sell them or toss em.
Correct the library will sell them for $1 or less a piece.
@@carolc.1334 And in my town the rest go into the dumpster. So sad.
The thinking of people like this guy still baffles me; unless he's going to write off the paid value of the books it makes 0 sense to not take the 100.
Yeah that was kinda weird lol. "No I won't take $100, I'll donate to library and get $0" Doesn't really make sense.
I worked in a library. We loved donations but they do not go on shelves. They go to the bi annual sale to raise money.
@@hellobethel7464 so what's wrong with him wanting the money to go to the library If he can't get what he wants
You're a doggone hoot working those yard sales and estate sales. I like the mumbled self talk...I don't need an ash tray.😝😁🤣
He’s so polite! Calls everyone sir 🥺 I wish people were like that up here
I had one yesterday tell me "they sell on ebay for $100-125. I replied..that's probably where you should sell them then
Perfect response.
I had somebody try to rip me off over Facebook marketplace for a lot of toys. Value was maybe $75 of what was there when I got there, which was a fifth of what was shown in the photos. He advertised a huge lot for $65. I offered 20 for what was left. He's like, I could sell each one of these for $5 each. So I told him to do that. And left. :)
I ended up with a set of the leatherette LL books from a storage unit. They were in pretty good shape. My brother is a fan and has all the books in paperback. I ask him if he wanted them and he jumped at the chance. Didn't charge him since he has helped me a lot with repairs and updates around my house.
You are cheap but that's what makes you unique and fun to watch 👍🏻
You called his bluff he didn’t really want to donate them 😂
The reality is that he needed his wife to be gone
You have way more patience than I do! Once they start talking about what they sell for online, I want to go to the next sale. Fast.
Still money to be made
Blue Boy and Pinkie. Brought a few tears to my eyes - how well I remember them in my grandmother's house.
That clear container you passed over when u picked up the helicopter is a “snail.” They are a pressure preserver type thing. They sell pretty well.
It goes to a Food Saver vacuum system - they are discontinued so yes they sell well
Hi! I am a reseller on eBay & proud of it! Love your channel , you & family !! Live2Thrift Terry❤️❤️
Tough negotiations, but nice deal, especially considering the extras. I think you’ll come out way ahead when you sell the Louis L'Amour books. I sold a much smaller set (I’m thinking it was 25 books) back several months ago for about what you paid for those. Thanks for letting us tag along 🙂
Thank you Gary
I love books so it's great to see some that have real value. Sadly, the eBay market is so dominated (here in the UK) by a couple of 'mega-sellers' that most books wouldn't even cover the cost of shipping.
It pains me to see books going into recycling but I can't even donate them as my local charity shops (ie thrift stores) have said they won't accept any more since they can't shift them, even at their long-running 'special' rate of 5 for £1. The managers tell me most books end up going for pulping so it's not worth the time and space to process them for a couple of pounds per ton.
Minute 27 the US Navy BB-55 cap. Interesting find, since that battleship was finished just in time for WW II, with her 16 inch guns. If you ever have a chance to see such a ship fire off all those main guns at once, it’s really something. The ship actually moves sideways when they fire a 9 barrel broadside. I’ve see it from just astern, when they brought back the Iowa class ships and re-fitted them for their Middle East duty.
excellent. Thanks for the history.
@@CommonwealthPicker In practical terms a 16” Battleship naval gun can send a 2700 pound projectile, about the weight of your SUV, inland over 20 miles. Each turret has 3 barrels and battleships usually have 3 turrets. So a full broadside is like shot putting 9 cars at once. Long before cruise missiles an 80 to 100 year old Battleship could still really reach out and touch someone.
Naval history is an interesting subset of general history and the history of Naval Battleships is one of the more interesting chapters. The general design hadn't changed all that much from the late 1800s, up until the last group (the 4 Iowa class) were built. Like modern cars or planes, the designers kept trying to load them with bigger guns, more armor plate, all the bells and whistles and still make them go faster, but that was always the challenge. More weight, meant less speed.
Even before the last 2 of the 6 of the class was built, the world had changed and the last 2 were barely started, when they were scrapped. The aircraft carrier had become the big shark in the pond, and many felt it made the battleship obsolete because the planes from a carrier could power project further then the 23 mile distance a shell could be sent inland from a battleship.
It's odd to think that the size of a ship's guns are often limited by mutual treaty agreement and by the time the Iowa class was built, they were only supposed to only receive 14" guns, by the treaty agreement, but ended up with the 16" size we've seen them outfitted with. Some of the older battleships, all of which were gone by the 1950s and 60s even had 18" guns.
The other constraint many aren't aware of is that Battleships had to be kept "of a size" that could navigate the 2 key canal choke-points in the world, the Suez and Panama Canals. If they were built too large, allowing for larger guns, they couldn't take the "short cuts" to the world hot spots.
I saw 3 of the 4 (Mosuouri, Iowa, New Jersey) in my time in the Navy, when they were brought back to help make up a 600 ship fleet and used for the Gulf War. It turns out they weren't so obsolete afterall, especially when Cruise Missiles were added to their armament. Now their museums, at least until they might be needed again.
Enjoyed the video, especially since it triggered some memories. You don't just sell memories, you remind us of them.
A compact car weighs more than 2700 pounds, an SUV is like 5000 pounds tho lol
@@joeambly6807 True, but most folks don't realize just how big a one of those shells is, but they can relate to each one being the wight of a compact car, like a Honda Civic or VW bug!. LOL
I just picked up 116 Louis L'Amour last weekend at a yard sale for $50.00. When I picked them up I did not realize what a deal I got until I got home. Got them listed for a $1100.
Aweseome. Look Like we are competing. Good luck
I don't blame the guy for wanted 300 I think it was because they where his Mama's. Nice guy.
No entiendo bien el inglés pero le estoy echando ganas para aprender de usted es usted una persona que me motiva a seguir sus pasos saludos desde Raymondville tx pero nacido en Matamoros Tamaulipas saludos
Minute 12 Builder 3 and 2 book. Those were old US Navy training manuals, specifically for the Seabee Builder rate, to promote to Petty Officer 3rd and 2nd Class paygrades (E-4 and E-5).
"Storage for boxes right there". That is exactly what I was thinking
Nothing more bothersome than an educated seller.
LOL
Agreed! lol Or one that thinks they are. You hear, "Well, on eBay..." and I just tune out.
The ones that print out an Ebay auction listing for their item and tape it to the table next to the outrageous price tag are the best.
@@sherryy7845 I was thinking the same thing! lol
@@sherryy7845 when i see that type of stuff I just walk back to the truck and head on to the next sale
I sold some of those leatherette about 15 years ago! I always pick up Louis Lamour books when I find them, even the paperbacks.
Ashtray pick up in the first 5 minutes, you never disappoint Kevin
Youll get a 1000 easy. Im sitting on the largest collection of Louis L'Amour books known. And if I didn't already have the time life set, I would be highly interested. But you will get them. And yes those who have them, would collect them and read the paperback as to not crease the binding. Creased binding lowers the value. Good kuck
You killed it! That home had a beautiful front door.
The intimidator hat is pretty good. I sold one just like that for $25. And I’ll be on the look out for those books from now on.
Ahhh the good ole radios with the broken antenna I had one too back when I was a kid only I still used it and would roll up a long piece of aluminum foil and attached it to the broken antenna ...worked like a charm lol good memories right there 😆
That estate sale was good, lots of great stuff!!!
I am learning a lot watching your videos! Thanks!
I absolutely Never tell a garage sale host that I am a re-seller.
why?
@@CommonwealthPicker Because the prices go up.
Great finds. Thanks for taking us along. YFS
My daughter has that cow outfit. It’s so funny she wears it everywhere
My daughter too! Her Chinese Zodiac is “ox” so she’s obsessed with cows 🐄
Well looks like another awesome yard sale or Garage sale looks like you know how to pick some great items and getting them really At a great price
What an awsome bargain on the Louis L'Amour Books!!! I loved his writings!👍👏👏👏
Nice deal on the books!
Yes! I was bummed you missed out on the books at first, then things happened for a reason! I’ll say $900 as my guess. Nice flip
They are not gonna get that for those books at the sales. They’d have to sale them on EBay or Craig’s list. You should’ve picked up that Tweety sign in the first garage. Tweety is becoming super hard to find especially the plus size clothes believe me I know. He’s been my favorite for years. If you ever find anything let me know. Wow! I’m surprised they worked with you! See I told you they wouldn’t sell them for $300. Lol! Great score!!
I sell lots and lots of books, but I don’t pretend to know everything. You got a good fair price at less than $2 each. I’ve have my doubts about getting $1000 in one lot, but I may eat my words. My strategy would be to sell them at $8 each, $4 shipping. I’m looking forward to seeing how they do for you.
Thanks Tim. I have 10 watcher so we will see
Cheap is right...what goes around, comes around. Approx. 800% profit!!!!
Not 800% but I wish it was.
I've noticed when I bring my bag I don't need it and when I don't I do. So I think it's good luck to have a bag in the car but not brought in lol lol
right? No doubt
Kevin , you are cheap . But in your business that is not an insult , that is how you make a profit .
For the large lot of books, how will you package and ship them? I imagine they have to weigh a ton with all of them combined. I've hesitated to buy large lots of books because of being uncertain of that (and having the space to store them for an elongated time).
Multiple boxes media mail.
I saw a white goose cookie jar on the kitchen counter. I sold one just like it for $45 new. Maybe $35 used in good condition.
Thanks. Good to know.
The Walking Drum was my favorite book when I was younger. I read it three times. Ive gotten some of my best deals by explaining that Im a reseller and I need the right price to make it work.
So Friday an Saturday i went to 3 different city wide sales. An i got 2 ziploc bags half full of sterling silver jewelry an 5 pieces of 14 karat gold. An 4 pieces of Haeger pottery at a buck a piece. I am keeping them. Aldo got gifts for my granddaughter that will be turning 2. My best thing is a got a huge teddy bear that looks like a honey bear fir my granddaughter. Thanks for all the tips an tricks. I have even started talking to myself while out picking. 😂😂😂 oh all the sterling i paid around 35 for it all.
Wow. That is a huge haul. Congrats.
i was drooling over those Louis L'Amour books!!!! I had the complete set and had to sell them...broke my heart...
Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy to my awesome great picker out there you know how to find the bargains
People forget “ it’s a Garage sale” their purpose is to sell and get rid of their stuff. At a garage sale ( I have had a few) it doesn’t matter what they bought it for or what they are selling for on eBay. People go to garage sales to get a deal, not pay selling price. $100 for the Louis L’ Amour was not “being cheap”. that was more than what I would offer. 50 cents to $1.00 a piece is the usual garage sale price for books and a bundle like that should be better. Nobody will pay his asking price. I love Louis L’Amour and I would laugh inside at his asking price. If they have sentimental feelings for what they are selling, then maybe they shouldn’t sell it.
I keep hearing about the booth. Do you have any videos of that? Or is it something you have an employee run? Or is it like Froggy Flips where its an antique store where you just have a set up? It would be interesting to see in my opinion. A day in the life of the booth.
So you think $175 for a potential $1000 is a fair offer? And then the seller out of his generosity throws in more pure profit items.
I do. He had to have it all gone in 3 days. He was giving me more because he was taking the rest to the goodwill. On top of that I called a guy to come and clean the rest of it out for him for free so he wouldn't have to haul it away.
His time to list and ship is worth money. I imagine it will take a little effort to get them all packaged. Since the seller didn't want to take that time, why should he get that extra bonus that one gets for the time put in to sell online?
@@lauttus Thanks for stating the obvious of what it means to be a reseller. Nowhere did I even imply that he should get the full potential value.
I have a question about the books. How will you ship them if you sell them all together? I am trying to figure out to ship large lots the best way.
Thanks for any feedback!
Mulitiple boxes. Media Mail
You got a great deal on the books The point is if people are so attached,then do put them out to sell.
DON'T
Enjoyed watching you got a thumbs up for the cat in the box so sweet
Maybe one day we'll have as much confidence as you to negotiate. 🤣🤣 Love the videos!
He called you cheap, because you are cheap, you are just like my Uncle. You should have paid at least $250 for $1000 in like new condition books.
Here is what is cheap, I used to do storage lockers with my Uncle, and he wanted to re-use the smelly, sticky, nasty, black hefty trash bags that had stuff in them in a storage locker. I said hell no, I will buy him a box of hefty trash bags, I am not using those bags over, no way.
And my Uncle is a fairly wealthy man, he just does storage lockers for something to do while he is retired. He owns his house, and both his cars, and he has a lot of money in the bank, most likely over $200k. He retired from Management at CAT. The other day he bought a property, with cash, for $18k, fixed it up a little, and sold it 2 months later for $32k, and made roughly a $13k profit in 8 weeks.
And he wants to re-use old trash bags he found in a storage locker, now that is cheap.
Man I would love to agree with you because I’ve seen resellers targeting people that are desperate. That guy ain’t desperate he sold a Bible for $10. To me there’s something weird about that I would give somebody a Bible. Anyway my mom Downsized and now I have her book collection in my basement is like 1000 books. They’re a major pain in the ass and if I was Standing in my basement with him I would say how much do you want me to pay you to take these out of my house? What is that guy gonna do with Them? He didn’t pay nothing for them and he’s probably thinking all the time and what his books on my house. You know That you could buy books by the Pound right by the pound. This reseller guy right here did a lot of work if he sold those books Then he pulled off a miracle these days because everybody download. It’s not like he was buying first edition Huck Finn or To kill a mockingbird. A dollar a book On average what do you think you’d be able to sell them for individually man. Cocaines worth a lot of money but if I had a kilo of cocaine I don’t know what to do with it it’s not worthless that’s a bad example but I’m just saying
"I'll just donate then to a library". Where they will be promptly stolen and sold. Genius.
When you were told 300. for the books and turned it down, I thought what an idiot. turning down at least a 700. dollar profit. But that's why your the master. Know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Good work dude
LOL Thank Bruce.
Great deal one the books and the freebies. Go Kevin
Meal prep solution: dinner and a commonwealth picker movie
My mom had 99 of those books. I sold them at her estate sale for $250.
Can't argue with that kind of stubborn logic.
Kevin, that green ashtray was quite possibly the most hideous piece of pottery I have ever seen (and I've been dealing in this stuff since the early 90's). Too bad it had a chip, It woulda gone for 50 bucks on Ebay.
Ha. I loved it.
In the middle of watching, at 17:39 when you got the Care Bears there was a rubber toy cat, you touched it a couple times, you left good $ behind. I'm sure your kiddos will do great on the bears though!
Yup sure looks like I did.
I personally thought it was a bit cheap but totally understand you still need to resell and make a profit so as the end of the day if they want to sell it, it's a easy 100$ for them
That mans voice was deeper then the Marianas Trench
I’d probably have given $200 or so for the set of nice books. It seems like a good profit but I also haven’t been doing this nearly as long as you and haven’t sold that amount of books so if you say it ain’t worth the hassle it makes me wonder why and I think I’ll trust you in that.
I parted out the black and decker blower for over 80, "When in doubt, part it out"
nice
I get his comment. I don't think he was being rude. He seemed like a nice man. It's challenging letting family items go.
You are by far the most enjoyable to watch. Did you buy that glass pig? I thought it was a fun item.
I was wondering if he left it behind.
I did. I had to go back and grab it after I turned the camera off
@@zachmepham1384 Me, too. I yelled when he walked away but he didn't hear me. LOL
A man's heaven there 😆 Lol
Tools dirt ladders and car parts...
🤣😂
If those Folks wanted 500 plus on those books,I think a 1200$ dollar sold comp is motivation enough to put them online.good score
That is a cool crystal ash tray.
Actually he seemed hard at first but you built a relationship with him and he trusted you, think he liked you as a person, you came across as honest and here is the offer.
I knew what those mini helmet's were. My god the memories from seeing these. Summer Khoury league baseball. if we won the whole team get dairy queen....wow!!
My lottery fantasy is to show up at garage sales and ask them how much do you want for everything. And when I say everything I mean everything in sight, things they did not bring out from the garage... Even if I have to pay $4,000. I would just love to see their garage bare Bones. And then just haul everything to an auction. That's the lottery fantasy for you. I like to do the same thing at a flea market. Just leave the seller scratching his head.
You forgot the pig! The paper weight!
I went back for it
Those football helmets are from the ground round restaurants they would have desserts served in football helmets
I don’t understand some people. If we cant sell them for a bunch of money we will just donate them.
While I would normally agree, although I was in a somewhat similar situation, I had posted my old guitar on offerup, and a guy wanted to buy it for 30 bucks. I drove the 15 min to wait and meet with him, for him to just say oh its in bad shape yadayadayada, and said I'll take it for 10 bucks. I said no thanks I'll just throw it out. Went home and threw it in the dumpster. Yea I missed out on 10 bucks, but I was so mad he perused me to waste my time to go out there, the satisfaction of him not getting the guitar was worth the 10 buck loss to me. I was angry.
@@Matt-fq6ly Baffling.
@@Matt-fq6ly I can understand . But next time on your way home the first church you pass stop and give it to them and tell them to sell it at their next church sale .
He doesn’t need the money.

Your not cheap , BUT you need to take your bag or bags with you .
Excellent picked on the books Kev ❤🤙
Being cheap is how we make a living... 😂😂
Wow that's awesome buy a few books and get a bunch of freebees !!!
I feel like it would be rough to ship all those books in 1 lot Great buy
yup. Multiple boxes for sure.

I buy some ashtrays too if funky n vintage non smoker just love the history
The Dude had a Creedance cassette in his car.
First time viewer from Memphis! Great deal on those books!
Thank you so much for watching Donna.
I usually really like your stuff, but if you were gonna sell those books for 1000 you should have gone ahead and offered him closer to 300 just so he didn't feel like he threw his Momma's investment away.
He told me if I didn’t buy them he was going to take them to the goodwill
Cowboys fan!! Should have bought them all
Looks like Copper plush from Disney’s The Fox 🦊 and the Hound where u bought the Care Bears. Guess he was “ruff” looking to purchase 🤣😁Enjoyed 👍👍
I would’ve been digging for an hour or two in that garage. 😁
I was there awhile off camera. It was also well picked over already for sure.
Awesome video!
Thanks so much!
I would have been offended by what he offered, it's rare to find those books..my aunt has some, and she won't part with them
Awesome finds brother # VA
Great videos man, been watching the channel for a bit now. Nice L'Amour set!
Appreciate it!
I"m sure you could teach me a thing or 50 about books.

i really hope you get the books sold man, good eyes on those. I like to flip cassettes for 5$. just found your channel dude good luck out there
they sold a long time ago brother. Thanks an dI love cassettes too.
