I went to a goodwill and let go of some vintage kareem Abdul jabbar france addidas shoes because I didn't know about them . Man it seems like NC picker keeps getting all the good stuff lol, maybe it's best to fly solo haha .
@@DRAGOINTHEHOUSE haha, we both did great on this day. I got $600+ items at these sales. He got a bunch of great stuff as well. That’s the risk you run picking with other people but it’s a lot more fun when you have someone with you. How much were the shoes worth that you ended up passing up?
Believe it or not, you are not alone. A ton of people have this issue. Even as a reseller myself, it’s hard to put certain items up for sale from time to time.
Congrats on the wedding! 🥂 Nice Honeymoon location know y’all had a great time. Been married 35yrs still going strong 😃. Bummer on the mint item, but it happens, onto the next great pick!
First and foremost, thank you for the kind words! It was the most amazing trip EVER! I miss items all the time. The issues is having a RUclips channel, I’m able to see what I’m missing now. It just hurts a little more during editing, lol.
Great content! First time watching your video and it’s wild that we moved to Florida from Pennsylvania as well. We lived in Levittown so not terribly far from Lehigh Valley area.
Go Iron Pigs! And Go Phillies! Dayton's minor league team is the Dragons. Used to live near Dayton, still have family there. We also used to live up the road from Allentown in Stroudsburg, but have no relatives there anymore. Originally from Wilmington, DEL, so big Phillies and Eagles fan. Currently living in NC though...
Hell Yea! Go Phillies! I go to a ton of spring training and Clearwater Thresher games (Phillies Single A) I have yet to make to an Iron Pigs game. Next time I head home to visit my family I need to go.
One time I was at a sale with my family when I was just starting to do eBay and had only watched a few RUclips thrifting videos. You could tell someone in the family was a hunter so there was a lot of Carhartt jackets and stuff, gun parts, and hunting knives. I completely skipped the Carhartt stuff, looked through all of the name brand gun parts and bought none, and bought 2 knives. I had heard of Buck and Cutco knives so I picked up a $3 Cutco knife and a $2 Buck knife off a table filled with probably 50 knives total, I remember telling myself I didn't want to take a risk and buy more. Thinking back to that sale and knowing more brands now, every knife on that table was priced $6 and under and they were all name brands. I sold the Buck knife for like $60 and the Cutco one for $95. That could have been a life changing sale but unfortunately I was unexperienced at the time. Normally I can move on from mistakes but that sale haunts me to this day.
Every pocket has these stories. I’m sure this situation made you do a ton of research after. Now you are a better and more knowledgeable picker because of it. I always look st these situations as a learning experience. I have left thousands of dollars behind, multiple times at sales. Now I’m a better picker because of it.
Huge congratulations on the marriage, brother & best wishes to you & your family. Hopefully you had an amazing honeymoon as well. Solid score & pickups today with nothing to crazy, but still definitely make some money. Keep it rocking my man & much ❤❤
Born and raised in Hellertown. We were practically neighbors! If you have ever been to the Lost Tavern Brewing in Bethlehem or Hellertown. They have a beer named after my Pro Wrestling Character, “The Scoundrel”. I’m a huge Philly fan still. It’s odd for me to find stuff from the Lehigh Valley in Florida, lol. I plan to come up to the Lehigh Valley to do some picking videos later on this year when I visit my family. Thanks for watching!
@@pickingandpunching Definitely have been to Lost Tavern. I'll have to order one of those brews next time I go back. Philly is the only city I root for also haha. I went to the parade after the last Super Bowl win....not sure if I could do that again lol. Whenever you come back up to visit, shoot me an email. I'll let you know if there are any big community sales planned in the area.
I passed up some Dan Poste boots this weekend for 30. I knew they go for a good price. But the bottoms of the shoes were kinda worn. I have to learn more about boots for sure.
It really comes down to condition. You are 100% right on it. These were vintage and a very unique design. You did the right thing passing up if the condition was questionable.
I made a couple of mistakes in the past but here are my top 2 I put down a Complete Pokemon Topps Early 2000s holo set at a crazy sale because I was overwhelmed with all the crazy stuff I was getting ( still get mad about this one to this day because the value lol) I was at an anime sale and I had a box of 40-50 sealed anime VHSs from the '80s. After I paid for them I found a SNES game in the room and completely forgot about the 40-50 VHSs. I didn't realize I had forgotten them till I got home. The SNES game was only worth about 250 and the VHSs were 1000$+ if I had got them[I scanned the whole room for the best ones :( ]
Omg! Those are some crazy misses. They will haunt you forever! Lol. It’s ok, we all have a ton that we miss. Since you paid for the VHS, did you try to go back and get them?
@@pickingandpunching Yes but it was an hour away and they were already bought by someone else at that point. But the estate sale ladies were kind enough to refund the money I paid for the VHS's :) Still a crazy sale made away with thousands in profit.
@@ripkenny0 ugh, that’s frustrating. There is still a Silver lining though. You got a refund and made thousands off the sale. I can only imagine what types of items were there before you got there.
Only looked on ebay. The other two statues were priced high. One was priced over ebay comps and the other was priced slightly under. I Just assumed that the price was was right in line with the others. When you are at a community garage sale with 50+ sales, I try not to spend a lot of time at every sale. If we would look up everything we would miss out on so much. Majority time I will only use Ebay comps. 99% it works for me. This is that 1% of the time that it didn't. You can't win them all.
@@pickingandpunching Hindsight is 20/20. Worthpoint always seems expensive, and then a few times a year it totally pays for itself. I'm from Pennsylvania as well. I grew up in Ohio.
@@TheQuirkyPicker_Chad Hindsight is 20/20. I learn so much from editing these videos and seeing my mistakes. I was just like you. I thought worthpoint was so expensive for years. Once I got it, I realized that it’s way undervalued. I have been able to maximize a lot of my sales because of it. I grew up by Allentown, PA but now live in Florida. What part of PA are you from?
@@pickingandpunching I believe he was. You might want to tell him it’s RUDE to be LOUDLY saying whether he thinks items are fake etc. it’s rude simple as that. And correcting that woman by saying it was a listed comp versus sold….RUDE . You don’t like the price, LEAVE! Just beyond rude.
You are right, I should of paid the $25 right away. When you do this full time, you try to save money whenever you can. I ended up paying the $25. It was a better deal than I expected.

Always enjoy the videos... Thanks for the lesson on vintage hats. Always like learning new things!
Thanks for watching!
My toxic trait is thinking I could do yard sale flipping when I know I would just buy stuff for myself and never sell it.

Congrats on your Wedding! Wishing many happy yrs for you both! 💞
Thank you! This was an older video but we just celebrated our one year anniversary.
No way!! I didn't know youre a reseller now!! What a kick!!! Subscribed!! (Im a reseller from Cape Cod) Ha this made my day Rod!!!

@@pickingandpunching We are in Saint Johns. Ran into NCPicker the other day in St Augustine so maybe I will see you around.
@@lostworldvideogames nice! I’m on the gulf side of the state, in Tampa. I do plan over that way and do some more picking with Dave in the future!

i liked those dragon statues i would have paid 80 a piece
The one statue I should of bought was for $50 and the other one she had $225 on it. The prices were all over the place..
