    The moment I see eBay printouts or the seller starts to explain what something "goes for" on eBay is the moment they are talking to the back of my head as I leave the sale and move on to a better sale.

    You can get between $30 and $50 for that American Heritage Broadside game. Also, i hate when people don't have prices at their yardsales. That make me an offer thing drives me nuts lol.

      Agreed. If there are fancier items or things you're unsure if, imo it's garage sale etiquette to look it up beforehand and make sure it's marked. If you're just letting go of a bunch of stuff you only want a few bucks for (like that one nice lady!) then just seeing things out is totally fine.

    I really dont like people who print out ubsold ebay listings, tape it to their items , and then ask crazy prices for their stuff. Im not shy about going to actual sold items to show the sellers, reminding them about ebay fees, and what a pain packaging/boxing/shipping can be. So often people forget how much trouble online selling can be.

      I mean it is not that much trouble as someone who does it myself. especially if you deal in things that you are passionate about! I think it is just kinda silly to be upset if someone wants too much . Ask them for a price you want to pay and try to negotiate. If it doesn't work .. then move on. Too much stuff out there to resell for anyone to be worried about this or thats.
      I hope that you understand what I am saying My friend! No shade

      @shinyhaunter6019 I dont come across many people hosting garage sales that would ever take the time to list, package and ship their items. If they were pationate people who were really into maximizing the worth of their items they wouldnt be having a garage sale. They would be selling on ebay from the start. And really... of you dont already have boxes, packaging materials, printer, a near by post office, ebay account, financial information set up, and all the time to answer questions and deal with bullcrap from people on the internet. Its trouble when the alternative is set up a table. Put your boxes of stuff out. Post a sign or two. And wait for the money to show up. When you are done. You take crap back in. Done. If people who normally dont shop or sell on ebay are just willy nilly looking up random listed prices and trying to sell their stuff for inflated prices at a garage sale the only way to change that sort of trend is to inform people. Call attebtion to their errors and show them the correct way. Most people have no idea they can look at items that are sold or completed.

    Jewelry and artifacts produced by indigenous peoples do not always carry the sterling silver mark or the 925 mark but are still silver. There are some exceptions given to the Indian nations where they can produce these things and not necessarily show the markings. The more modern pieces now are embossed with the sterling marks. The Navaho and Sioux have many craftsmen now that produce in quantity so you will see their goods with the markings.. learned this from visiting friends in NM And
    visiting the reservations in the area. Certain days of the week, the Indian market is open in Santa Fe around the corner from The Governors House hotel in Santa Fe.

    My one pet peeve when I used to go to flea markets or yard sales, were those who had nothing priced. It was very frustrating, especially when someone would tell you one price and yet quote a different one to another person for the same item. When my late father and I used to sell at flea markets, I made sure everything was priced, even down to each paperback and hardback book. Yes, it is time-consuming, but it saved a lot of aggravation for both of us. In regards to the Ebay printouts that some sellers put on their items at garage sales or flea markets, they are doing the same thing that I have seen resellers do while looking up "comps" to check out what items sold for on various resellers websites. While the one person in this video had too high expectations for their items, are they any different from the resellers, who want to buy low and sell high? I believe it is a good learning experience for people to see what selling potential their items may sell for by looking checking out the various resellers websites, but need to tamper down their expectations when they hold their garage sales or flea markets, knowing that resellers will want to purchase things at the lowest price possible.

They blamed their lagging sales on cheaper leftover containers flooding the market and a disappearing audience who want to have or attend Tupperware parties. I think I mentioned this to you a while ago, but I am not sure. Age appropriate memory, ya’ know! 😆

    20:23 Unlikely to be silver. It looks like nickel/alpaca and she's dreaming, and if she's trying to get eBay prices she's delusional. As for the other lady, once the phone comes out and she's looking up prices it's a hard "no thanks" from any reseller looking to stay in business. She just priced herself out of any possible deal. She'll be stuck with them at the end of the day complaining that "people are so cheap". If we could pay 50% of retail we'd be in a store. With Kevin's expenses, I'd be looking to pay 1/10 my sale price. One more dime and I"m outta there. Resellers aren't cheap; they're looking at the bottom line.

    Everyone wants to judge a seller for looking up prices but the buyers allways look stuff up to see how much they can resell for .......whats the difference. Everyone wants to make the most for their stuff!! Cheap a$$ people!!

      The issue is that a lot of the sellers are looking at how much something is LISTED for, not what it SOLD for.
