Exactly. All these people saying he's ripping them off, no he's not. He gave what the seller wanted. If re-sellers offered what an item is worth well they wouldn't make ANY $, they would lose $. In this business you don't offer a price, you ask the seller what they want for it. Then you offer a price somewhere on the low and gauge the situation if they want you to make an offer. These people don't get how the game is played. Knowledge is power, and how the game is played is equally important. They are just trying to make a living, just like everyone else. These people don't think twice about Walmart or some other name brand store selling them an XBOX game for $60. If you ask me that's a rip off.....here is the deal, if the seller wants like 70%+ of what an item sells for on Ebay then they can go sell it on Ebay and deal with all the overhead costs that comes with it. By the time you sell a $100 item, it becomes like $40 after everything is said and done.
Oh my goddddd 😂😂😂😂😂 this’ll actually be the first time I ever told ANYONE this, but boiiiii I tell ya what!!!! When I done blow a while back (yes I am an addict, & once an addict always an addict, no matter what. But I am not an active addict!) I swear me and my buddies all stayed up one night just ripping lines after lines, and i had court the next morning…. (You already know it’s bout to be crazy)😂 so, court time rolls around and I am still hitting lines. Just me and one of my buddies at this point. I needed to shower cuz I know I looked like a crackhead FOR SURE, so I took a shower and whole time just feening for a line… I can’t go 5 mins without craving another bump or line once I’m actually high. So after the shower I hurry and go back in the man cave and tell my boy if he will you go to court with me? Surprised to hear his answer, he said freaking yes… so we both go to court. High as crap. Feening for another line. Feeling like I’m dying. Sniffling the whole time. Feeling absolutely miserable. Sat thru the ENTIRE court hearing for everyone, & I’m the last one in there. But forreal I shit you not, the judge asked EVERYONE who came up to the stand, “Are you currently under the influence of any drugs or alcohol today?” & he’s NEVER asked that before from what I’ve seen. So I know it was cuz of me and my boy, we were both sniffling the wholeeeeee time so I know people noticed. I was just gonna say I was sick if he did ask me why I was shaking and nervous and sniffling… lol😂 but yeah ended up being the last 2 people sitting in that court room and my public lawyer told me, “buddy, your court time is at 1pm, not this morning at 9am…” AND THEN TOLD ME THIS, “you might want to fix that problem you’re having with your sniffing too, it’s a little bit too excessive.” Then told me to be careful and to make sure I’m back at 1pm. I was so scared. To go back. But I did, by myself this time. I took another shower and a short nap and woke up, & was totally fine! Sorry for the long comment but thought it’d be kinda funny to share. I did only tell this story cuz imagine if I did tell that judge that day, “Yessir I am under the influence right now, no doubt about it, & then say I’m kidding..” he would’ve had me arrested immediately but maybe not!. 💀💀😂😂 but who in the world would say they’re high!! Only people who are lying! Maybe that coulda saved me. But In the end, God saved me by making sure I didn’t have court at 9am and making sure it was at 1pm! (:
I like how you make fair offers to the sellers. I’m not an eBay seller, so if I have something worth $50, and am asking 15, it makes me mad when a dealer says “ I’ll give you 2”. No, you won’t.

I mean they usually sell you shit for $5-$10 they have literally a nickel in .. if anyone is getting played it's usually the buyer. Way harder to flip $60 into $100 than the $100 off a nickel.
well obviously the guy thats gonna pay the ebay price for it aint at the market its online so its super obvious. I live in sweden and i dont think theres a big demand for useless crap like in the us it seems. the market is not that big with 10M inhabitants as 330M

Funny story...2 years back I wanted a new set of pots and pans and stumbled across a huge set at a yard sale, stock pots, various size sauce pans and pots, skillets, all with lids. Thought, huh $40 is a good price for these, they look like they're good quality and all have the lids.... never heard of that brand, Saladmaster.... now you made me look them up and I'm struggling not to sell them on eBay lmao
I have salad master and I'm NOT SELLING I looked them up my sister was selling them at a yard sale fir like 10.00 I saw her yard sale I said umm no send them to me .. she did I have them Not interested in selling

@@HairyTornado trust me I am pondering it more now than ever :D After my fiancée lost her job I was already going out all the time game hunting...so decided to take the extra few seconds to look other stuff up and Have been binge watching your videos as well as others... now I make more than my full time job lol
i like that you give a fair deal to flea market sellers. Some resellers would just rip em off with their crazy low haggles and i feel bad especially for the old flea market sellers .
Lol, my wife and I watched the auction guy literally 5 minutes before we watched your video. My heart was pounding! What a weird coincidence. Glad you didn't miss out on a deal
This is the weirdest thing ever. I just picked up that drum practice pad and that Mowgwai plush from Gremlins this week at my goodwill bins. That is the strangest coincidence ever considering I'm in Wisconsin.
For all people saying you scammed or cheated them out of money, when you think about it, it makes more sense. At the moment, they want money, to bay bills, buy needs, etc… they wanted them gone in the first place. Third. It’s a win win and not a lose win situation. Also feel good for both of them. They both got a deal.
That Stich was an awesome pickup! Looks like the Flea Market / bins combo works pretty good. James was quite the promoter at the end, and seemed like a nice guy. Thanks for sharing Josh!
We have had one to two storage units since about 2002. I calculated that we have probably spent $70K over the years. Well enough was enough. It was worth it to just let the stuff go in one of the units just because we were sick pf paying storage and didn’t have the time to sell the stuff since we work full time. We had a big ole garage sale on Saturday and honestly it was fun watching people get so excited over what has been a weight around our necks for so long. Did we make as much money as we could have? Absolutely no. But so freeing to be down to just one unit!
Just balancing out the beams. I've seen numerous times these ebay/RUclipsrs will haggle $5 on something that is $30. Then turn around and sell.on eBay for $80 plus shipping. Typing on a computer, wrapping packages and taking a trip to the post office is not hard work. Its inconvient at best, but there's where the loving what you do falls in. These ebayers think they should have all the meat. It's greed in my eyes! I'm not speaking on this RUclipsr specifically, this would be the first video of his I watched but I've stopping watching nc picker, commonwealth ect. I replied to an ad guy said he buys large sports card collections for cash. Offers me $800 over phone without even budgeting. I've got 2-3 cards selling for well over $500 ea. These people want insane profits on very little work. Just like everything else the internet touches, it ruins. All ego and vanity driven!
Who doesn't have a cell phone and it's so easy to look up listings and sold items. In Goodwill you see people whip out their phones all the time to check prices and values.
That bell you picked up brought back memories. I grew up in the 60/70s in a neighborhood in Memphis. That’s when Memphis was a small town. All us kids would play outside. There was about 10 of us kids. Our parents all had bells. At dinner time they would ring the bell, or if we were summoned to return home, each bell had a different tone so we knew who’s bell it was ringing, and could holler out to the kid who parents were ringing. Hey , it’s time for your dinner! Or hey your parents are calling you. It was a fantastic neighborhood to grow up in, it blows my mind that as a kid we lived out in the county. Now that neighborhood is in the center of the city. You would have to drive about an hour further out to be in the county now. The lady next door told me that when she moved to Memphis in the 50’s they could drive the hour drive to the airport and never pass another car. It’s hard to believe because now Memphis is huge with big traffic jams. But with more people that means more to thrift and more profit, lol. Leslye
That sounds so beautiful,"playing out" is a swear word for kids these days it's play online, The generation who sit up stairs eating dinner on their games consoles alone or watching TV with no conversations between family, it's so sad
I remember once I bought a few (not too valuable) gold rings off a lady and resold them for double the amount, she found out and started sending me death threats 😅 Some people really are stupid and can’t take responsibility for their own actions. 🙄
One time i bought a computer from a garage sale parents were selling sons computer that went off to college. Looked old and bought it for 50$ they didnt knew the parts inside costed hundreds lol
Advice for saving on shipping anything plush/pillows/etc, diy vacuum seal it in a bag! Most things get surprisingly small and it doesn’t ruin the item :)
One of my first pick-ups this season was a Gund 41" Cookie Monster plush for $5 that just recently sold for $118 + shipping. It's mind boggling mind how much people will pay for a plush sometimes.
Glad I ran across this video. I am the owner of a complete line of Salad Master pots and pans that are in fantastic shape. My parents bought them when they first came out and now that my parents are gone, I own all the stuff. I miss them very much. I never even thought about the value of the set but I'm definitely looking into it now. There's actually a lot of pieces in the whole set. Thank you buddy.
@@HairyTornado I just did a random fast check. The slicer/grinder/cutter machine is apparently a good little set on it's own. I usually only think of my 90 long boxes of comics and mags as my best collection. Guess I better start looking into my parents old stuff much more seriously. Coins, stamps, figurines sure. But that cookware never crossed my mind. 😀
WATA is super controversial in the video game collecting. Some collectors just won't buy anything WATA graded since their grading isn't always transparent. Personally I'm on the fence about them, I have seen some things that received high grades that most certainly didn't deserve it and then you have their founders selling games on eBay at astronomical prices to artificially inflate the cost of certain games. So just word of warning, use it if you really feel like it will market your stuff better but also understand that there is significant controversy as well within your target customers.
grading is a scam!! A brand new game is a brand new game. if someone cares THAT much about a seal, they should ask for pictures and not support a company thats actively ruining this hobby.
@@bananashapedorange Grading isn't supposed to be a scam, it's meant to help build trust between collectors, but if people don't agree that the grading is trustworthy then well, you're kinda right it is basically a scam.
Useful tip for plush toys ...if the fur is kinda matted ( they always go like that ) - use a hair dryer on the fur. Keep it moving quickly in little circles. The fur looks like new in seconds !
@@berngirl5624 I was planning to ship a pillow that way. I read you could toss it in the dryer for five minutes and it'd fluff right back up, so maybe it would for a quilt too? 😅
I really enjoyed the way you edit your videos and explain your purchases and show us comps. It really makes it very interesting to watch great videos. Thank you!
love all the old starwars figures, I remember buying those when the movie first came out !!! then years later my parents sold them in a yard sale... lol still trying to buy them all back on ebay karma!!! great video Josh!!
I have no idea where all my old toys went but I do have my and my dad's childhood books. My husband's mom kept all their toys and now the grandkids play with some of them.
Too bad on those Star Wars figures. Probably threw away a small fortune right there, especially if they were Kenner. So many crazy collectors nowadays buying up nostalgia toys of the 70's 80's and 90's.
I was just thinking that .I used to have the original 70thies & 80thies action figures, but gave them away when i became a teenager and 'too cool to have toys' I always thought those things were worth a lot, but he didn't buy them for 8 dollars a piece. It's such a strange businesses , and i still can't figure out when or why these figures are worth a lot, or nothing at all . .😅
Great to see a guy in my own home town on RUclips love it! Keep it up man I'll be watching out for ya when I'm at the №1 and the Goodwill's around town!
The vintage toy guy. That is the stuff I love finding However I avoid these guys that has a set price for each item lol. They know what they got. Congratulations on the finds 😀
Oh My Goodness, I just LOVE the Goodwill bins! We just got one where I live and its only 5 minutes away . I go every day and how found some incredible deals every time !
My grandmother used to go there all the time ! She bought a jacket & pair of pants for my gramp for like $2 once & the jacket had over 1000 cash still inside it lol.
While going to sales today, I went to our Platos Closet. Didn't find much, but upon leaving I drove past Guitar Centers dumpster and saw an employee toss cord and cables in. Sat for a minute then went to the dumpster. There was 2 PA speakers, 8 guitar gig cases, a Roland groove box, and 3 mic stands...and a bunch of bubble wrap "covering" (hiding) it.
I've been doing this for over 1 year full time and only ran into saladmaster once. It was a smaller skillet without the lid and I still got over 75 for it.
I nearly choked on a sandwich when I saw the Scare Glow pop-up in the video. One sold for $750 usd on eBay on June 12th. (Edit: Oops, I just realized its not the vintage one, the cape seems to be in solid plastic instead of the vintage cloth cape.
yo man, loving the video. all i’m going to say is… after working at goodwill, y’all are definitely living on the edge by not wearing gloves in there. regardless, keep up the good work man.
Last year i bought a vintage Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper suit at a local thrift store. complete with helmet and blaster. Paid 1 Euro and sold it for 110 Euro a few days later.
For the plush items you can put them in a plastic garbage bag, wrap the open end of the bag around your vacuum hose and suck all the air out. It will make the plush tiny! Secure the end and put it in a box that way!!
Another great video Josh. I never thought in a million years I would be looking at shoes or plush (I'm a bit of a germaphobe) but after watching you I picked up a pair of kids heelys for 5 bucks and and old plush puppet for 2 bucks. I think they will do good. Thanks for the constant content. Keep up the good work.
same, im a big germaphobe, and that was before the pandemic, but him and Froggy Flips really made me want to start trying a little bit of flipping. I might or might not wear gloves if I go into a bin, but i'll do my best!
Yasss ! I have all my grandmothers saladmaster pots and pans . Found the electric skillet for under 10 bucks at a thrift store and sold 5 years back for 150!
Busy day with great finds to sell. Love your videos and learn a lot. Also love your down to earth vibe and your "appreciate you" to everyone. As for the car wash, it's not relaxing for me. Was in one once and the guy in front of me put his car in reverse. I was getting sandwiched between two cars and couldn't do much. Started honking like crazy and the attendant shut it down just in time. Who would of thought a car wash could be so difficult lol.
@@kennethtran4706 how is he ripping him off? The guy said $60 so he gave him what he was asking. And also, he has give money BACK to sellers before so chill.
As a kid who received most of his toys from Goodwill, it makes me sad to think that the toys of today are being snapped up by resellers from Goodwill to be shipped off at a profit.
There is NOTHING lazy about people who resell. You have to hustle to find a worthy item, you have to wash or clean/sanitize the item. You have to take pictures of the item, you have to write a description of the item then ship the item. Even on whatnot you still have to clean the item and show the item then ship the item. I’ve never seen anyone hustle as hard at making reselling their main source of income than Josh and Hayley!! You go guys!! Keep buying, keep selling, keep teaching others and keep smiling!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
I have a giant collection of Salad Master, I just learned, in the 70s they held parties like Tupperware parties where someone would host and you could invite your friends to buy set of pots and pans. They NEVER go wrong on Ebay and hold their value.
Back in the mid 80's, Renaware stainless steel pots and pans were hot sellers in the party style sales arena. A friend of mine paid around 1200 for a huge set and they even financed them for the buyers. Have not heard much about them recently. They also sold glassware and other kitchen items.
A Long story! If I had a way of taking the larger stuff or multiple items when dumpster diving, I would. When I found out that grocery store was closing, I got to go 3 times and found a good amount of stuff, on the last day I was able to go, the dumpster was filled with lots of TV dinners from cheaper to Hungry Man, I did take alot, although had I been able to take more I would have. My house is 4 rooms, 5 if you count the hallway and its separated by 2 connected lines, the kitchen, bathroom and hallway are on one line, while the living room and bedroom on the other line. I come close to burning the house down cause of this fact when I put 2 heaters on the same line and overloaded the electricity and it even put my refrigerator out of commission for about a week to get the cord replaced and that was not fun. I would like to have the electrical upgraded to brand new wiring with multiple connections from the breaker box, so that will never happen again, just no money. Cause of this fact I can not heat the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and even the hallway, I choose to do it this way in hopes my dogs will stay warm, yet those drafty holes in their room make it hard to keep it warm, so if you are a praying person, pray that GOD intercedes, one day I may just want to leave if that's GODs plan, I would move if I could in a way, the noisy horns that pass through hurts my babies ears and they will wail in pain and if I had the money to buy or even rent a place that would accept dogs, I would consider moving, yet most rent houses I checked on, up to $600+, they also don't allow dogs and I get a total of $726 in social security. I probably could get a low income apartment, however most will not let you have large dogs, Charcoal and Mandy are Labradors and I do not want to get rid of them, someone threw them out like garbage and I can NOT bring myself to do that to them, they are my BABIES! I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH! I don't know what plans GOD has for us. I hope I can figure that out and move on if that was GODs plan. I wanted to stay in this house because it was my grandmas house, being it was historic I wanted to live here all my life, yet there is no stores close and I would have to bike up to 15 miles or more if I wanted or needed to go to town, it takes around 2 hours one way, 4 hours both directions and no bathroom stops unless you find a tree to hide behind and no real way of carrying dumpster finds or even purchases for that matter. Because I am so POOR, I don't even see a vehicle in my future and no way of driving. Things just happen that we can't explain that only GOD has the answers to. I would like to do better, much better than I am now. My life has crashed down on top of me, though I haven't suffocated yet, sometimes it feels like it, I HOPE GOD INTERCEDES SOON IN OUR LIVES! HOPE YOU HAVE A TRULY BLESSED DAY and NIGHT!
The "appreciate ya" parting comment is so overused nowadays. I hear it all the time at my job to the point that it sounds disingenuous. A thank you would suffice.

I have salad master and I'm NOT SELLING I looked them up my sister was selling them at a yard sale fir like 10.00 I saw her yard sale I said umm no send them to me .. she did I have them Not interested in selling
@@kathywilder3272 sit on them! I have my grandmothers FULL set of salad master pots and pans….I looked them up a few months ago….it all adds up to over $750! I couldn’t believe it lol
@@HairyTornado trust me I am pondering it more now than ever :D After my fiancée lost her job I was already going out all the time game hunting...so decided to take the extra few seconds to look other stuff up and Have been binge watching your videos as well as others... now I make more than my full time job lol
i like that you give a fair deal to flea market sellers. Some resellers would just rip em off with their crazy low haggles and i feel bad especially for the old flea market sellers .
I think they know that most the buyers sell them online.
Lol, my wife and I watched the auction guy literally 5 minutes before we watched your video. My heart was pounding! What a weird coincidence. Glad you didn't miss out on a deal
cool
Epic
This is the weirdest thing ever. I just picked up that drum practice pad and that Mowgwai plush from Gremlins this week at my goodwill bins. That is the strangest coincidence ever considering I'm in Wisconsin.
im in wisconsin too what city do you go to for bins?
Roro
Trot
If you're ever thinking of selling the mogwai (as long as its that exact one, hit me up).
Have a great day.
Wild to see you here, Des. It is a small world.
For all people saying you scammed or cheated them out of money, when you think about it, it makes more sense. At the moment, they want money, to bay bills, buy needs, etc… they wanted them gone in the first place. Third. It’s a win win and not a lose win situation. Also feel good for both of them. They both got a deal.
That Stich was an awesome pickup! Looks like the Flea Market / bins combo works pretty good. James was quite the promoter at the end, and seemed like a nice guy. Thanks for sharing Josh!
Definitely would've kept that stitch for myself. Didn't know they had ones that big! Great content. Youre inspiring me to try again.
I'll buy you a stitch 🤣
@@dakota3951 aren't they expensive? Lol I'm poor so everything is expensive.
right!😂
i have a similar sized stitch right next to me 😌
I love stitch!
We have had one to two storage units since about 2002. I calculated that we have probably spent $70K over the years. Well enough was enough. It was worth it to just let the stuff go in one of the units just because we were sick pf paying storage and didn’t have the time to sell the stuff since we work full time. We had a big ole garage sale on Saturday and honestly it was fun watching people get so excited over what has been a weight around our necks for so long. Did we make as much money as we could have? Absolutely no. But so freeing to be down to just one unit!
That sounds like such a relief! I’m currently burdened with an expensive storage unit myself, can’t wait to someday be free of those expensive fees.
Americans seem to just buy random things then store them lol
People prices seem really high at these swap meets! Strangely enough, most of them know what the items go for online which surprises me ALOT lol.
I consider him lucky, any time I go to one of these near me and make an offer the seller usually goes on ebay to price match lmao
Just balancing out the beams. I've seen numerous times these ebay/RUclipsrs will haggle $5 on something that is $30. Then turn around and sell.on eBay for $80 plus shipping.
Typing on a computer, wrapping packages and taking a trip to the post office is not hard work. Its inconvient at best, but there's where the loving what you do falls in.
These ebayers think they should have all the meat. It's greed in my eyes!
I'm not speaking on this RUclipsr specifically, this would be the first video of his I watched but I've stopping watching nc picker, commonwealth ect.
I replied to an ad guy said he buys large sports card collections for cash. Offers me $800 over phone without even budgeting. I've got 2-3 cards selling for well over $500 ea. These people want insane profits on very little work.
Just like everything else the internet touches, it ruins. All ego and vanity driven!
Who doesn't have a cell phone and it's so easy to look up listings and sold items. In Goodwill you see people whip out their phones all the time to check prices and values.
Lord of the ring Xbox is listed for around $10? Does price drop that quick.
@@HighFidelityFox unless a representative is coming to negotiate the deal from eBay or price charting I’d tell em to kick rocks

That bell you picked up brought back memories. I grew up in the 60/70s in a neighborhood in Memphis. That’s when Memphis was a small town. All us kids would play outside. There was about 10 of us kids. Our parents all had bells. At dinner time they would ring the bell, or if we were summoned to return home, each bell had a different tone so we knew who’s bell it was ringing, and could holler out to the kid who parents were ringing. Hey , it’s time for your dinner! Or hey your parents are calling you. It was a fantastic neighborhood to grow up in, it blows my mind that as a kid we lived out in the county. Now that neighborhood is in the center of the city. You would have to drive about an hour further out to be in the county now. The lady next door told me that when she moved to Memphis in the 50’s they could drive the hour drive to the airport and never pass another car. It’s hard to believe because now Memphis is huge with big traffic jams. But with more people that means more to thrift and more profit, lol. Leslye
That sounds so beautiful,"playing out" is a swear word for kids these days it's play online, The generation who sit up stairs eating dinner on their games consoles alone or watching TV with no conversations between family, it's so sad
The MOTU Scareglow figure @8:20 next to the Star Wars figures goes for BIG $$$ if it’s the original vintage one
Came to say the same thing. Beautiful piece.
yeah i wonder what he wanted for that figure....its usually 300-400$
I know, I cried a little. The cape is wrong though, wonder if he even knew what it was..😢

Reissue by the look of it.
Great editing and it’s awsome how you show pictures of it listed on eBay with price love the quality and content!
I love, love, love how nice everyone is!!
Funny how money does this
2:36 Josh, youz gotz the "Part-Time Pickers" shakes right there. LOL 😉 I watch them get deals like that all the time.
I remember once I bought a few (not too valuable) gold rings off a lady and resold them for double the amount, she found out and started sending me death threats 😅
Some people really are stupid and can’t take responsibility for their own actions. 🙄
That's fucking crazy! Damn.
One time i bought a computer from a garage sale parents were selling sons computer that went off to college. Looked old and bought it for 50$ they didnt knew the parts inside costed hundreds lol
A full Salad Master set is still to this day one of my best scores ever. Only found it once, sold it in a day 🤑🤑🤑
How much
The pattern on the clogs look like a rose/flowers/floral pattern. Great finds.
Advice for saving on shipping anything plush/pillows/etc, diy vacuum seal it in a bag! Most things get surprisingly small and it doesn’t ruin the item :)
great finds on the games! always great to find a score like that! Keep it going
One of my first pick-ups this season was a Gund 41" Cookie Monster plush for $5 that just recently sold for $118 + shipping. It's mind boggling mind how much people will pay for a plush sometimes.
That's crazy!
I paid 90$ for a minion toy when I was drunk 💀

Sold a pusheen plushy gund soft toy for 1000 dollars 🤣 collectors are adorable.
@@bobnoname7287we all been there 😂
Dude gives respect and u dont even ask how he’s doing or tel him to have a good day. 😑
Glad I ran across this video. I am the owner of a complete line of Salad Master pots and pans that are in fantastic shape. My parents bought them when they first came out and now that my parents are gone, I own all the stuff. I miss them very much. I never even thought about the value of the set but I'm definitely looking into it now. There's actually a lot of pieces in the whole set. Thank you buddy.
Your sitting on at least a few hundred bucks!
@@HairyTornado I just did a random fast check. The slicer/grinder/cutter machine is apparently a good little set on it's own. I usually only think of my 90 long boxes of comics and mags as my best collection. Guess I better start looking into my parents old stuff much more seriously. Coins, stamps, figurines sure. But that cookware never crossed my mind. 😀
WATA is super controversial in the video game collecting. Some collectors just won't buy anything WATA graded since their grading isn't always transparent. Personally I'm on the fence about them, I have seen some things that received high grades that most certainly didn't deserve it and then you have their founders selling games on eBay at astronomical prices to artificially inflate the cost of certain games.
So just word of warning, use it if you really feel like it will market your stuff better but also understand that there is significant controversy as well within your target customers.
grading is a scam!! A brand new game is a brand new game. if someone cares THAT much about a seal, they should ask for pictures and not support a company thats actively ruining this hobby.
@@bananashapedorange Grading isn't supposed to be a scam, it's meant to help build trust between collectors, but if people don't agree that the grading is trustworthy then well, you're kinda right it is basically a scam.
Useful tip for plush toys ...if the fur is kinda matted ( they always go like that ) - use a hair dryer on the fur.
Keep it moving quickly in little circles. The fur looks like new in seconds !
I'd know..
Get one of the dollar tree vacuum bags to shrink your Stitch plush down. Easier to ship
I helped my friend send a quilt that way. I wonder what the poor woman who got it thought about it? LOL!
@@berngirl5624 I was planning to ship a pillow that way. I read you could toss it in the dryer for five minutes and it'd fluff right back up, so maybe it would for a quilt too? 😅
I shipped to large throw pillows in a vacuum bag. Worked out great.
I bought a bundle of vacuum bags on Amazon to ship bulk bedding. They are reusable so I figured the buyer would appreciate the extra bonus item. Lol
@@cindygetsfitschaus8097 I definitely sent my buyer a message as to how to open the package to be able to reuse the vacuum bag afterward.
6:03 “Yeah, that’s a good idea” 🤓
Like you’ve never done that in your life 😂
The Stitch plush was pretty much free, and to turn it into $80+, that’s Awesome!👍👊
I really enjoyed the way you edit your videos and explain your purchases and show us comps. It really makes it very interesting to watch great videos. Thank you!
That ding after your truck was clean had me laughing. Great video.
Haha! She told you to check eBay and you said “That’s a good idea.” Love the content man.
love all the old starwars figures, I remember buying those when the movie first came out !!! then years later my parents sold them in a yard sale... lol still trying to buy them all back on ebay karma!!! great video Josh!!
I have no idea where all my old toys went but I do have my and my dad's childhood books. My husband's mom kept all their toys and now the grandkids play with some of them.
Too bad on those Star Wars figures. Probably threw away a small fortune right there, especially if they were Kenner.
So many crazy collectors nowadays buying up nostalgia toys of the 70's 80's and 90's.
I was just thinking that .I used to have the original 70thies & 80thies action figures, but gave them away when i became a teenager and 'too cool to have toys' I always thought those things were worth a lot, but he didn't buy them for 8 dollars a piece.
It's such a strange businesses , and i still can't figure out when or why these figures are worth a lot, or nothing at all . .😅
Great to see a guy in my own home town on RUclips love it! Keep it up man I'll be watching out for ya when I'm at the №1 and the Goodwill's around town!
Love that Stitch plush, I just got Stitch and Eeyore full size costumes at my bins yesterday. about $1 each, so great!
What a great score !!
I work hospice and resell. When I see shoes like that, I assume they were worn by an elderly or disabled and probably never walked off of carpet.
Yes, I just posted basically the same above somewhere.
Me too! Former hospice nurse and reseller here- worn insides and perfect bottom=wheelchair!
My family has always used Saladmaster pans. Still use them to this day. Great brand!
"Seals are just dogs for mermaids" Love this!!! I think we need this on a sign
The vintage toy guy. That is the stuff I love finding However I avoid these guys that has a set price for each item lol. They know what they got. Congratulations on the finds 😀
Hey man I just wanna say thank you for not trying to lowball people you give them what they ask
Great finds! Love going virtual thrifting with you. Always so much fun to see what you find. The comps on that "Stitch" plush are amazing!!!
Seals are dogs for mermaids🤣🤣great finds and a .50 Stitch is unbelievable. I enjoyed the car wash too.👍🤣 Hi Mose😘
Haha the vintage toys with Star Wars characters was awesome. My husband would have loved that! I myself would have picked up the VW Bug immediately.
The Moment they bring out that ebay paper work i'm walking the other way.
Tell me about it lol
It cracked me up!!
Never seen someone with it printed out before in hand ready Lmfao
Same
It wasn't even a sold. Just a listing lol
My wife used to work doing administrative stuff for a lady who sold Saladmaster stuff.... people pay thousands for new sets of pans its crazy!
Yes, I agree . I love the way you talked about each item as you found it.
I love watching you slowly turn into a gaming reseller 🤣 another string to your bow!
I love that you find all these plush stuffed animals and know their valve👍🏻. The double haul was a goody to watch.
Oh My Goodness, I just LOVE the Goodwill bins! We just got one where I live and its only 5 minutes away . I go every day and how found some incredible deals every time !
My grandmother used to go there all the time ! She bought a jacket & pair of pants for my gramp for like $2 once & the jacket had over 1000 cash still inside it lol.
I really appreciate how you don’t just scrabble through boxes and bins!!
Thank you! I didn't think that would be entertaining content lol
While going to sales today, I went to our Platos Closet. Didn't find much, but upon leaving I drove past Guitar Centers dumpster and saw an employee toss cord and cables in. Sat for a minute then went to the dumpster. There was 2 PA speakers, 8 guitar gig cases, a Roland groove box, and 3 mic stands...and a bunch of bubble wrap "covering" (hiding) it.
And you grabbed everything?!
I left a few of the no name gig cases, but the PA speakers, the SE gig cases, a KISS edition fender case, and the Groovebox, yes packed all in my jeep
dude that sold you the games had such a strong Louisiana accent i love Louisiana accents 🤣
I've been doing this for over 1 year full time and only ran into saladmaster once. It was a smaller skillet without the lid and I still got over 75 for it.
Do you do fleamarkets and garage sales?
@@mitchruns9667 garage sales, estate sales, and thrift stores. There aren't any good flea markets in my area.
Love the channel and your such a nice dude, not like these other resellers that act like they know it all
Hahaha I probably would’ve asked the same thing cuh! Why you shaking my boy yiu making me nervous homieeeee
OMG at 12:50 there is a Scare Glow figure!!!! And it has his cape and scythe of doom. I sold one for $500!!!
I nearly choked on a sandwich when I saw the Scare Glow pop-up in the video. One sold for $750 usd on eBay on June 12th. (Edit: Oops, I just realized its not the vintage one, the cape seems to be in solid plastic instead of the vintage cloth cape.
I noticed that too. The solid cape version is a modern release. Probably the one lying on the table.
yo man, loving the video. all i’m going to say is… after working at goodwill, y’all are definitely living on the edge by not wearing gloves in there. regardless, keep up the good work man.
Last year i bought a vintage Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper suit at a local thrift store. complete with helmet and blaster. Paid 1 Euro and sold it for 110 Euro a few days later.
you dont ever look at die-cast cars, every time I see you pass die-casts, I am like, there Josh, you're passing them again :D
How much are you asking for your pot? 🤣 had me rolling
😂
I am shakin, when you entered the vintage toys Table...🤤
I also like the bell n some other stuff..
For the plush items you can put them in a plastic garbage bag, wrap the open end of the bag around your vacuum hose and suck all the air out. It will make the plush tiny! Secure the end and put it in a box that way!!
Another great video Josh. I never thought in a million years I would be looking at shoes or plush (I'm a bit of a germaphobe) but after watching you I picked up a pair of kids heelys for 5 bucks and and old plush puppet for 2 bucks. I think they will do good. Thanks for the constant content. Keep up the good work.
same, im a big germaphobe, and that was before the pandemic, but him and Froggy Flips really made me want to start trying a little bit of flipping. I might or might not wear gloves if I go into a bin, but i'll do my best!
Fake
Yasss ! I have all my grandmothers saladmaster pots and pans . Found the electric skillet for under 10 bucks at a thrift store and sold 5 years back for 150!
0:57 Not a gremlin! Mogwai that pop out gremlins if you dont follow the rules :)
Glad you saw that too
THANK YOU
Actually, they pop out baby mogwai if you get them wet…mogwai turn into grimlins if you feed them after midnight.
Bright light!
Busy day with great finds to sell. Love your videos and learn a lot. Also love your down to earth vibe and your "appreciate you" to everyone. As for the car wash, it's not relaxing for me. Was in one once and the guy in front of me put his car in reverse. I was getting sandwiched between two cars and couldn't do much. Started honking like crazy and the attendant shut it down just in time. Who would of thought a car wash could be so difficult lol.

As a kid who received most of his toys from Goodwill, it makes me sad to think that the toys of today are being snapped up by resellers from Goodwill to be shipped off at a profit.
its a super sad world with lazy people trying to make easy money off doing as little as possible.
@@SkullKidForever what's wrong with that? And what's lazy about it? I mean better than being stuck working the same 9-5 job for 10 years.
@@svicidellvma because poor kids have even less a chance to get cool stuff
@@truemrfu9673 no.
There is NOTHING lazy about people who resell. You have to hustle to find a worthy item, you have to wash or clean/sanitize the item. You have to take pictures of the item, you have to write a description of the item then ship the item. Even on whatnot you still have to clean the item and show the item then ship the item. I’ve never seen anyone hustle as hard at making reselling their main source of income than Josh and Hayley!! You go guys!! Keep buying, keep selling, keep teaching others and keep smiling!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
I have a giant collection of Salad Master, I just learned, in the 70s they held parties like Tupperware parties where someone would host and you could invite your friends to buy set of pots and pans. They NEVER go wrong on Ebay and hold their value.
Back in the mid 80's, Renaware stainless steel pots and pans were hot sellers in the party style sales arena. A friend of mine paid around 1200 for a huge set and they even financed them for the buyers. Have not heard much about them recently. They also sold glassware and other kitchen items.
Is that a 1980’s MOTU Scareglow at 12:37? I think with his weapon and cape it goes for a good chunk of change.
Oh ha. I should of read the pinned comment first. Oops
A Long story! If I had a way of taking the larger stuff or multiple items when dumpster diving, I would. When I found out that grocery store was closing, I got to go 3 times and found a good amount of stuff, on the last day I was able to go, the dumpster was filled with lots of TV dinners from cheaper to Hungry Man, I did take alot, although had I been able to take more I would have. My house is 4 rooms, 5 if you count the hallway and its separated by 2 connected lines, the kitchen, bathroom and hallway are on one line, while the living room and bedroom on the other line. I come close to burning the house down cause of this fact when I put 2 heaters on the same line and overloaded the electricity and it even put my refrigerator out of commission for about a week to get the cord replaced and that was not fun. I would like to have the electrical upgraded to brand new wiring with multiple connections from the breaker box, so that will never happen again, just no money. Cause of this fact I can not heat the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and even the hallway, I choose to do it this way in hopes my dogs will stay warm, yet those drafty holes in their room make it hard to keep it warm, so if you are a praying person, pray that GOD intercedes, one day I may just want to leave if that's GODs plan, I would move if I could in a way, the noisy horns that pass through hurts my babies ears and they will wail in pain and if I had the money to buy or even rent a place that would accept dogs, I would consider moving, yet most rent houses I checked on, up to $600+, they also don't allow dogs and I get a total of $726 in social security. I probably could get a low income apartment, however most will not let you have large dogs, Charcoal and Mandy are Labradors and I do not want to get rid of them, someone threw them out like garbage and I can NOT bring myself to do that to them, they are my BABIES! I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH! I don't know what plans GOD has for us. I hope I can figure that out and move on if that was GODs plan. I wanted to stay in this house because it was my grandmas house, being it was historic I wanted to live here all my life, yet there is no stores close and I would have to bike up to 15 miles or more if I wanted or needed to go to town, it takes around 2 hours one way, 4 hours both directions and no bathroom stops unless you find a tree to hide behind and no real way of carrying dumpster finds or even purchases for that matter. Because I am so POOR, I don't even see a vehicle in my future and no way of driving. Things just happen that we can't explain that only GOD has the answers to. I would like to do better, much better than I am now. My life has crashed down on top of me, though I haven't suffocated yet, sometimes it feels like it, I HOPE GOD INTERCEDES SOON IN OUR LIVES! HOPE YOU HAVE A TRULY BLESSED DAY and NIGHT!
Those opiates hit hard huh. 😂

Thought you'd appreciate this Josh. Went to drop off my computer to get fixed and I walk into the shop and there is no room in the front of the store.

🤣🤣🤣
Why ? You have to buy the item ,pay to set up ,pay for gas and usually be at the market at 4/5am so yeah getting a fair market price to make it worth your while is a goal to most sellers .
@@mariojones6674 Yeah well the problem is most of the swap meet sellers just search it and base their price off of what people are asking, not what it actually sells for. There's always gonna be some idiots on ebay asking $100 for something that actually sells for $25.
