- SPENT $0, THEN $250 | ANTIQUE VINTAGE RESELLING | FREE STUFF TOO!
Take the long way home! Wandering back from the Allegan Antiques Market in Michigan, we stumble across a vintage trash pile, a Goodwill and a surprise off-day estate sale, with finds priced from wholesale to thrift to…well, free!
This is a day of discovery and fun, getting off the interstate and letting random reseller opportunities take us on a journey. The first stop is a literal junk pile, heaped by the road in anticipation of fall cleanup day pickup. We pick up a useful show display and check out some groovy chairs before we head on down the road.
Next, a Goodwill appears in a small town center. Will it have enough good old stuff to make me want to go back to heavy thrifting, or will I wish I’d dug deeper through the free pile?
The real surprise, though, is a stray, seemingly leftover estate sale sign, which we follow off the road on a hunch. Michigan has sales on random weekdays, what good fortune when we’ve just sold thousands at a show and need to restock! This estate on the stately town park is full of fun finds…come with me while we ferret out all the bargains!
Here are some of the things we dug out of junk piles, thrift stores and an old house in this video:
Modernist chairs, coat rack, Lladro Christmas plate, Hickory Farms tumblers, Fostoria Heirloom bowl, Blenko pitcher, Fenton canister, Myott and Sebring china, Petoskey stone, Longaberger rule, 1960s patio furniture, vintage bikes, toboggan, pottery wheel, wicker rocker, children’s books, rotary phone, Lane miniature test, WWII composition dolls, dog decanter, siesta bookends, Weller rose vase, silhouettes, Sebastian miniature, Tonka fire hydrant nozzle, Delft mini windmill, Pilchuck glass bowl, Nippon exotic bird relish, Glamour Girl coaster, Disney ephemera, Sommerso glass, cello, Wedgwood Queensware, Victorian Imperial teapot, boho pitcher, Morgantown cocktail set, vintage barware, 45’s, doll furniture, miniature sewing machines, vintage clothes, 1970s turntable, Costa Rican hand painted cart box, Fairbo wool blanket, afghans, Scout handbook, etc.

Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Ahhhh. Well, that was fun. Because my old feet and knees hurt, it's so happy and satisfying to go estate sale-ing with George !!! Sigh.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks
Love Allegan antique market.
Me too I’ll be back
Estate sales are better than thrift stores in midwest😊
I really enjoyed this particular shop-along video & just howled upon hearing your story of the "neck tourniquet" directive in the Boy Scout Handbook. Hilarious.
Yes it was an interesting concept but...really?
Wow George, great estate sale...you did well!
Loved your Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman reference!
That was fun. Really liked your presentation. Very nice. Very interesting.
Thank you! I'm glad to see you in the comments, thanks for watching and we'll see you again soon
Hi George,
That was a fun one.
What a cool estate sale!! So many interesting things!
In my hometown, the miniature cedar hope chests were congratulations gifts from furniture stores in the 1960's & 1970's for new high school graduates. Usually Lane. You had to go into the furniture stores to register, verify your high school graduation and pick up your little cedar chest gift.
That's neat to know! I heard that long ago and had forgotten.
When I go where the wind takes me I call it serendipity picking. That estate sale was like a time capsule!
Yes, I love it!
George YOUR videos are brilliant. I throughly enjoy watching and listening to you as you travel long.
Thanks so much!
Loved Auntie Mame!
Such a great book!
I like that you can just ‘nomad’ when and where you like
My schedule is pretty tight, but I do like the opportunity when I find it
Love the video!! We always look for old BoyScout items!
Thank you George! It really was fun! I love looking at what other people have collected over the years and with you being so knowledgeable about everything, I learned a lot tonight!
My pleasure!! I'm always glad when seeing other collections inspires people
I LOVE trash piles... I just found a Wagner Cast Iron pan and many other things a couple hours ago... Lol. Have fun!
Loved your response to the goodwill store hahaha
OMGosh I perked up as well when you slid right into that blue Fostoria for $14 🔥🔥🔥❣️ I was like oh here we go
You betcha! I love that thing. Had to say thanks to the antique fates for that one
I'm glad this estate sale "measured" up to your standards!
lol
A furniture store in our town gave all the senior girls one of those lane cedar boxes for graduation. They mailed you a congrats card with a gift certificate to bring in and pick up your chest. They kept this up for over 40 yrs until they closed for good. My mom got one, and my sister and I got one.
I got one and so did my Mother. I now have hers too!
I still have mine, from the 70’s. It is really handy to store jewelry and trinkets.
Excellent video George! Informative, fun and to the point!
More to come! I try to get to the point because there's so much to see out there
There was some good items at that estate sale. The house was a time capsule too.
I really liked that one, reminded me of Washington estate sales
George,
speaking of Petoskey stones,
you're right about one thing Regarding these phenomenal rocks, we Michiganders take them seriously!
Here's a little trivia for you:
'The Petoskey stone is fossilized pre-historic coral fossilized rugose coral, Hexagonaria percarinata. Distinguishable by its unique exoskeleton structure, a Petoskey stone consists of tightly packed, six-sided corallites, which are the skeletons of the once-living coral polyps.'
Considering these salt water sea creatures lived 300+ million years ago and are still findable today
in fossilized rock form
in many of our overly-abundant fresh water lakes,
is nothing short of a gift from God. So, they are not only funny little shapes formed from water passing over it's surface. 😆
Best wishes from
a true Michigan Petraphile
and big fan of yours!
Oh that's really good info! Thank you, I knew they were special but I really didn't quite understand why. That's a pretty fascinating story
I donated a blazer years ago. I did not realize my mother's bakelite palomino pin was still on it. By the time I realized it was missing, it had been a few months. That was 20 years ago, and I am still heartsick. I have a picture of her wearing it , when she was a teen.
I'm so sorry that happened! I hope you find its likeness someday
It was great to meet you yesterday on Kat's livestream! Just subscribed. Have a great weekend!
Are you ever in the Naples, FL area? Are there any good shows there? I spend the winter there.
I couldn't give my china cabinet away. I had to call 6 places. No one wanted anything with glass. Finally a hospital thrift shop came for it.
I love old atlases especially children's ones.
Hi, Snowbird! I do get to Naples, I'm up in St. Pete. You used to have a lot of consignment stores but not so much now. Contact me if you and yours need help in future and I'll see what I can do
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thanks so much.
Love your videos George, thanks for doing them!
Yesterday( a Thurs) I went to one and found 3 Arthur Rackham prints in a super dusty closet in a dirty envelope!
They were 25$ for 3 . They are from the old Peter Pan stories.
They are matted but not framed. My question is , are they worth framing or rematting ?
Sure! I don’t know whether I’d do that to resell but I sure would if I collected
I recently had the opportunity to buy a Hummel Umbrella Girl and nabbed her up thanks to one of your other videos that taught me she still has value. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!
Oh good! I'm glad when a tip helps someone
George, did you know petosky stone light up under black lights? They are not inexpensive to us rock hounds.
I think I was told that by Kellie at Moss Stone Vintage when she gave me mine! I'm embarrassed to say she told me more interesting stuff about Petoskey stones than I can recall now
George, maybe the Goodwills just don't have anything because you've taught everyone what to keep...just a thought...LOL
Or they were already picked clean... That's the goodwill I go to almost daily lol.
You may have a point! I don't mind though, there's enough for everyone
Great video George. It is awesome to hear your comments on different items. I learn a lot. Thank you George!
I enjoy seeing a random assortment like this and getting to talk about it!
In my area (Seaside, Or.) they often have yard sales on crazy days. Wednesday at noon or Thursday at 3 🤦🏽♀️. When I lived in California it was Saturday morning at 7. My moms and I went almost every weekend then I moved here and Ive only been to about 5 in a few years. I miss yard sales and EstateSales. ☹️
That's the goodwill in Fountain Square!!! I recognized the china cabinet as well as what was on the shelves. I actually have fantastic luck there! Its often picked clean as I visit almost daily as do other resellers. Picked up 3 vintage African masks today (my problem is I always want to keep awesome finds like this) and a Pelham Puppet in the box. I was very pleased. Sad I missed you, yesterday was the one day I didn't go because I thought they were closed.
Lol that's why there's nothing! I had the feeling something probably comes through there, I'm glad you are having luck...I've been selling African masks and enjoy Pelham Puppets, so you lucked out that I was there the wrong day! I hope you do well with them (or enjoy having them)
@@TheAntiqueNomad you pretty much have to be there when they're restocking to get the good stuff haha. Really wish I had bumped into you though (even if you scored all the goodies before me lol), you are a treasure trove of knowledge ❤️
Hi George! We love your videos, learn so much, and are interested in the small stack of vintage Disney tickets and ephemera. Safe travels!
Please send an email to me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com and I'll try to dig those up
It is so much fun seeing you get excited when you find a great honey hole. Thanks for taking us along. I think I would be too selfish to take the time to video and give insight, as I'd want to be snagging all the good stuff before someone else does. Plus it leaves you with only one free hand to make a pile & carry your finds. You're a good person for taking the time and letting us share in the excitement with you 😊 💕.
I really appreciate that! It's a juggle but it's worth it to be able to show people this fun collecting world
@@TheAntiqueNomadYour welcome. I enjoy watching it!
Sitting here in Australia and all of a sudden the Sydney Opera House appears! Love your video. Leanne
Thank you! We Americans love Australia
Hi from Michigan there is an estate sale this Thursday down the road from me
Fun video George!
Uhh sorry George but petosky stones are actually fossilized coral… really pretty when polished!
I feel like you had a great time at this sale😊 thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Estate sale on Monday unbelievable, you’re lucky. The things they have are very nice, much more beautiful things than Goodwill.
Agreed!
Lots of wonderful items at the estate sale, good prices too! Loved the Boho teapot. Once ag as in thanks for taking us along!
That estate sale though. I don't know how you can choose from so many treasures! That Noritake bird platter had to be my favorite though. Always a good time with you George, thank you
I'm happy to have that problem! I am glad it was fun for you too
Goodwill now does online auctions. I wonder if the "good stuff" goes on auction?
Yes it does absolutely
Gosh, you found a piece of Delft!! No one else I watch picks up Delft! I collect small pieces of Delft in memory of my mom. She had a very respectable collection of it when I was growing up but she had to sell it all later on to pay for her heart surgery. So, in her memory I have been collecting small pieces that I find from various places. I even have a few pieces of jewelry. Will you be selling that windmill?
I think it really depends on the Goodwill and the area that you're in whether you find this stuff or not
That was a really great estate sale!
What a great estate sale! Yes we are lucky in Michigan to have estates sales start on any day of the week. The Petoskey stone has imprints of coral from a “bazillion” years ago. It shows its pattern when wet and people polish them to bring out that pattern. We have lots of them on our beach between Traverse City and Petoskey. Every spring we get a new supply as a result of winter storms and ice on Lake Michigan. All the best, “9a”
Cool !
Hi, 9a! I'm glad to understand the Petoskey stone better, I knew they were a phenomenon but I didn't realize how very ancient they are
So excited for you to meet Laura. I just love her channel. This was a fun video. Thanks.
Who would expect to find an estate sale on a Monday? Lucky you!! I was impressed with the amount of items they had. Do you ever ship stuff to your home or rent a trailer to bring items back? Loved the wicker chair.
I've done both in the past and was tempted this time, but I'm going shopping more this week
So happy to see that you bought the boho teapot. And all the other stuff. Thank you, Nomad George. You are a natural born story teller. It is fun to follow along on your many adventures!❤️
Most of us in western Michigan are not of a Dutch background and don’t necessarily collect Delftware. Saying that in Texas I picked up an unfinished wooden pair of shoes from Holland and not Holland, Michigan. I am not sure what I will do with it. Maybe put spurs on it considering where I found it.
Lol that's funny! My family are from Battle Creek but no Dutch blood either
Our GW is boring . When I donate, I expect GW to put it in the store, and not sell it online. There is never any vintage items there. I see lots of people dropping off stuff, yet the store always seems bare. The other two thrift stores have great vintage finds. I donate to the other two stores. Salvation Army has some fabulous stuff.
I feel the same and do the same
Fun fact- my ancestor painted “The Doctor.” Sir Luke Fildes.
By the way, it was so nice to meet you two. It takes me a little bit to warm up to people but you guys are so nice! 😊
You and your family were great to meet! That's really cool about the ancestor doing 'The Doctor'
If you look in my coat closet you will see a brooch on most every jacket and coat in there. This made me start looking on jackets at estate sales too. I have scored nice ones as well, not a $300 yet, but I keep trying. ⭐️🌙
Love that! Keep it up and you'll be rewarded
In my area we all got one from the local furniture store when we graduated high school. The mini cedar box. It was tradition.
Wow, you went from trashtastic, as Michael from Cult of Vintage says, to fantastic, w/ a GW bump in the road in between 🤣 Seriously you scored big time @ the unexpected estate sale...great prices on alot of things. I was drooling over the vintage glass. I used to have a few of the toys when i was a kid, but w/ being in the military w/ all the moves we made, all is lost 😥 so when i see them, i get melancholy & can see why my generation are snapping them up. The little metal dollhouse brought back happy memories ☺ Thanks for the excursion, George & blessings to you!
Thanks, Friend.☦️👩🏻🦳❤️🌼
Hi George, great finds at the estate sale. You went to fast in the Christmas room 🎄😂🎄
George...check some of the comment threads on this video. I think you have some Bitcoin hustlers trying to snag people.
They been out in full force again, they used to just leave 2 other fake anonymous comments now it looks like they leave 10 or more 🤪
I usually report them whenever I run across them
Most of the thrift stores in my area send anything they think is good to auction.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😅 I have yearbooks that don’t belong to me. People always ask me why I have them since they’re shelved with mine. They were abandoned. I’m curious. 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t know if anyone else has commented this, but Goodwill cherry picks items and sells it online
Hey George - what's up with the spamming on this comment space? Financial advice on a antique and vintage site?
It's annoying, I don't always catch it soon because there's so many comments. I guess it's nice that they figure investors who want to know about antiques are watching
@@TheAntiqueNomad yeah but this clown had people chiming in that they had "heard" about this guy...people who never posted on any of your comment pages. Con job.
I do not know which is my favorite that you found along highways & byways!!! The clothes rack is kinda towards the top, can't beat the price and usefulness! But at the other side of the spectrum, the Fostoria piece is just gorgeous and 🤑 such a deal you got!!!
Always a blast riding and shopping along with you!
Hi George Rumpus room ? Our rumpus room was outside
Resellers have been doing an outstanding job generating interest in thrifting and reselling. Do you purchase for resale any items that are damaged? How do you mark the and how do you settle on a price?
I usually avoid as-is items unless they're rather unusual or part of a set. I try to always make note of their flaws and I usually price at least 20% below "perfect" prices
Hey George! There looked like one of the old rocker sewing accessories chairs in that trash pile. I've seen those little things bring more than I ever imagined they would. That aluminium patio set had super-good prices on it. I would've been very tempted. What was the red and brass cylinder thing at the bookends? It caught my eye, and I wondered what it was. I actually like that Tonka fire hydrant. Loved the glamour girl dish. That painted cart is fantastic. That looked like a fun estate sale. Thanks for the take-along!!!
Did you get the email about the Dr. Pepper restaurant card and piece I'm looking for? I never know if they go through to you...
😊😊😊👍👍
The Indianapolis owned Goodwills send so much stuff to their online portion. Its nearly impossible to find much of interest anymore.
💗
❤️❤️❤️
it's Labor Day
Yes, and I was at labor--but fun labor!
I know this video is 2 years old, but I just have to say, that suit at 24:39 is not a knit! It's very clearly woven fabric. Well, you did say you're not a rag picker, so...
😍
I’m so excited you’re going to see Laura Caldwell. I love watching her , her excitement when she is shopping is contagious. Laura has that love for mid century modern and the style you mentioned. I started reading more about it.
She’s in Oregon shops in Washington State your neck of the woods. Items found in Northeast are fabulous, so different but so cool. She and her hubby just bought a new Mid Century Modern Home. Can’t wait to see her decorate it.
I’m excited and rambling, thank you George. Enjoyed the weekend with you and Xeno.
GOODWILL SUCK S LOL
Hi George! I saw that you had a good time at Mitsy's :-) TY for posting, great video. May I ask you something? I don't mean to be rude. Could you while filming at an estate sale spend more time filming all around, I mean also the "stuff" you are not interested in? TY for your time :-)
Hi, Jacqueline! I'm planning to do that on my other channel in the live broadcasts, it's a little hard for pre-recorded ones because there'd be too much dead space
@@TheAntiqueNomad TY!! Have a good day :-)
Perfect murder plot: "He/she had a head wound, so I put a tourniquet heround His/her neck, as they explain in this book". Not guilty.
Lol great idea!
