    What do you reckon did we make a huge mistake leaving those 2 items at the garage sale?

    I really enjoy watching your videos. You are to be commended for your polite manners at the sales as you are both always respectful. The items I would have not left behind were the carved Emu Egg for $10 and the pottery bed/foot warmer for $5. Thank you for a good watch.

      Thank you so much we always love having a chat to the sellers always makes a fun day out. I’m sure I missed tonnes at that garage sale.

    We had one of those red phones in our house when I was growing up. They were very pretty much ubiquitous at the time. Funny seeing you young-uns pore over it like its some antique item.

    • @Lupi33z
      @Lupi33z 10 месяцев назад

      yellow would be pretty unique! The other popular colour was beige. Our house was built in 1963 so that'd be the approximate vintage of those phones. @@2AussieThrifters

    Yes. WWII items sell well.

  • @Loki_Loki01
    @Loki_Loki01 10 месяцев назад +1

    When you put stuff up for free postage, does that mean you are actually making less profit in reality? So for example the $41 item there you mentioned would actually be like $31 you guys make after you pay like $10 for shipping yourself? Or am i wrong there 🤔 cause i never understand how people can put stuff up for like $10 and under and offer free shipping and not lose money etc. Whats the point in selling that stuff

    • @2AussieThrifters
      @2AussieThrifters  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yea so we incorporate the price of shipping into our costs generally it works out the same ie $41 free post or $31 plus post.

    Don't worry mate, you are bound to make more huge mistakes at garage sales 😅😅. Seriously though if you don't know what something is worth then you can't make a mistake. If it was your main selling category and you missed it then yes.

    @StayingInYourOwnLane 10 месяцев назад +2

    Some great scores! I wouldn’t say it’s a mistake but I guess you never know unless someone else you know picked it up later on in the day. I think you dodged a bullet on the tin toy car was the sold comp for $30 the same car? If so I think you did if not then maybe it could’ve been worth more but if you’ve got nothing to compare it to on the market at the time then I think it’s fair to pass but maybe with terrapeak something could’ve come up. As someone else mentioned if it’s not your niche per say and you passed on it but it was valuable you didn’t really make a mistake unless it was your niche which is certainly the right mentality to have.
    All the best for this weekend! 🙏

      @2AussieThrifters  10 месяцев назад

    I would have grabbed the Citroen DS but I doubt if I would have sold it!
    The Flying mittens looked new but would have been worth a punt at that price in case they were original and just well preserved.
    Those Anglepoise lamps (Jazz called it a Pixar lamp) can bring big money. Especially the older ones.
    The stoneware hot water bottle would have brought you a few bucks at that price.

    Great video, good buying and it’s always better to let things go if you are not sure. The only exception is if it’s price is too irresistible. Lastly never look back and thing you made a blue, reason is that you could have also made a big mistake. Good luck hunting this Garage Sale Trail weekend. Cheers
