My grandfather made his living manufacturing those coke cases. Had his own saw mill to saw the lumber for them. Made them for the coke plant in DuQuoin, Illinois.
That's cool! We had a small bottling place by us as kids. I don't think they were still in business but I ended up taking care of the owner years later. I'm not sure what the name of it was though
It's the best time of the year is when you can go out and dig through other people's things. I love every minute to go to yard sales. Love the PEOPLE and I love the beautiful stuff that you find at the yard sale. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND TO US PEOPLE WHO LOVE BUYING YOUR BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
Seen something years ago on yard sales and estate sales. One guy said he went by them also when they were over on garbage day, one would be surprised at what gets thrown away. The stuff that is thrown away by people and businesses is amazing. Rarely do I step foot into a store needing to buy something.
There are people that go by and buy all of what is left from an estate sale. They play a really cheap price but save those from holding the estate sale from picking things up afterwards. That's why estate sales don't really go down in price on things on last day.
my best yard sale find was in 2015 at a community sale. walked up on a random house FULL of vintage computer graphics software (SiliconGraphics). Turns out the guy was a former SGI Employee. he had HUNDREDS of software discs for Silicon Graphics sitting out. He also had BOXES of old random hardware and old macintosh stuff. I was barely looking thru it when he said "For $10, you can have it ALL". i was taken off guard and since i was driving an old pickup truck with an empty bed, i said sure. I loaded a 6ft bed FULL of software and macintosh stuff. Within the first two weeks i had sold around 10% of the software for around $1,500, and 40% of the hardware for around $2,500. I still have a ton of it years and years later but i think i've made over $10,000 in profit. Crazy. Thats the kind of stuff that gets me up in the morning.
I don't know if anyone told you yet or if you know now but the old forester sign is a recipe generator/ advertisement. They put them in liquor stores to drive sales. I used to work in a liquor department. They are for commercial use. That's why you can't locate it online.
that sorel jacket is a great score! they used to use jackets very very similar to those in prisons that they gave out to inmates starting in the fall. mostly due to the fact that they were tough and lasted virtually forever. i'm a former corrections officer.
The back of the Harley t-shirt tags and one of the sweatpants have the Holoubek logo. Holoubek was a Milwaukee area company that held one of the three Harley apparel licenses. Holoubek artists created the front print and back print designs (eagle with the hat) and the company produced the t-shirts in-house. Holoubek was sold to VF Imagewear in January 2005 and ceased to exist, so anything from Holoubek is from 2005 at the oldest. The tag in the darker grey pair of sweatpants with the HD script logo has a different style of tag. Tags with the eagle are from Harley-Davidson Motorclothes. I'm friends with a former Holoubek artist who did the design on the light grey sweatpants you have there.
Just want to tell you I really enjoy your videos (especially Yard Sale ones) Our Goodwill here is higher than a department store... And after going to your eBay store I learned a trick that works out good, Selling smalls like pins, etc. and charging a flat rate for shipping works out great!!! Usually make an extra buck. Was trying to sell 50 of them for $10 and couldn't get a response. Now I'm selling all my small (1st Class) items at a flat rate ($5) and getting a lot more response...Thanks and keep up the good work!!!
When you find items that use standard, Heavy Duty, Alkaline, Carbon Base types of Batteries and find the batteries have leaked, leaving a green colored corrosion on the contacts in the battery compartment, you can try doing this to clean the corrosion off. Take Sodium Bicarbonate, (Baking Soda) and place it on the green corroded areas, I just sprinkle the Baking Soda on the corrosion, but the Baking Soda does not stick on the corrosion, and most of it ends up in the battery compartment where there is no corrosion. I have not tried doing this, you could try making a paste of Baking Soda and water to make it easier for getting it on the corroded areas, use only a small amount of water to make a drier type of paste. After applying the paste on the areas to be cleaned, get a toothbrush, maybe get ones with different bristles, soft, medium, stiff or even try to use a small toothbrush type Brass wire brush, dip the brush in white vinegar, then brush the corroded areas to remove the green corrosion. Baking Soda will neutralize the battery acid, the vinegar is acidic and cause the Baking Soda to react with the vinegar's acid, it will bubble and fizzle, this will neutralize the residue, leaked battery acid in difficult areas to get at and help to loosen the present acid corrosion, use brush'(s) to remove the battery acid corrosion. When the bubbling reaction stops, dip the brush in more vinegar and keep working to remove all the corrosion, add more paste mixture as needed, repeat as necessary. If you use a brass brush, it may work better to remove the more severe corrosion areas easier, if necessary, use a small flat-bladed screwdriver, knife or razor blade to scrape off any really difficult corrosion. Try, not to remove the bright colored plating on the, (+), (positive) & (-), (negative) contacts, the plating is for corrosion resistance, so removing it will take the protection from future corrosion away. After you get the corrosion removed and all cleaned up, make sure to clean the vinegar off, the acid in it could cause more corrosion, wipe it off with paper towels and/or cotton Q-tips, then use the Denatured Alcohol saturated Q-tips to clean the contact areas. One last suggestion, look at the wires soldered onto the (+/-), contacts, make sure the wire is attached, not broken/corroded off, clean any corrosion if present. Also, an FYI, the corrosion can get on the wire under the outer vinyl/plastic wire cover, and not be visible. I have used this method many times and it has worked well on removing/cleaning the battery acid and corrosion, the Baking Soda will neutralize the leaked acid and help to keep the acid from causing more damage after removing corrosion it had already caused. I hope this will help you out and something you remember and use in the future, I don't believe, just using Denatured Alcohol will neutralize the residue battery acid left, if it is not all cleaned out, I would rather neutralize the acid as an added safeguard against reappearing corrosion in a short time.
As you may have figured out by looking at your post, if you put a dash immediately before and immediately after any typing, it appears with a line through whatever is between the dashes. You can edit your original comment using the three dots to the right of your name. I suggest you edit your original comment for clarity, by removing the dashes or by moving them a space or two away - like this - so that the line through the words does not happen. When you enter it with the dashes right next to the text -like this- it puts the line through.

Before the internet I used to do my book buying at yard sales. I would get the late Saturday edition of the St. Louis paper and call dozens of sales and asked if they had a lot of old books. How did I get the numbers? I had a CITY DIRECTORY BY ADDRESS and so I could find the names and numbers and this way narrowed down to people who had what I wanted.
As a avid garage sale hunter for over 30 years I can say knowledge is power, if you want to get the good stuff you better be there when they open the door or another hunter will get all the goodies. There is no bag limit on these hunters.
As a pro myself I've thought about writing a book on yard sales to me he spends to much time at the stops got to get to the next stop asap and don't waste time on clothes if your looking for clothes go to the thrift store and me and my wife will split up and we have a code word when there is nother but crap we say nothing but NBC and we haul to the next one we could hit about 25 to 30 on a Saturday.
I can attest to that. I went to an Estate Sale yesterday 2hrs 30mins after they opened. I missed out on a HP printer that sells for around $500. It was "Open Box" never used. I missed out on it, it was sold for $40.
Did you get my suggestion on puttin chain necklaces down through ahalf of straw it will keep the cain from tangling. Its helps especially if you are shipping jewelry. You all take care and have a ball unloading those storage bins
6:44 ... When I was a kid (1950s) this is the case the six ounce Coca-Colas came in. I think the 24 piece case was 75 cents. The 10 ounce "King Size Coke was not even available then. Individual bottles were 5 cents.
First time seeing your channel. Regarding that beer/Whiskey drinking game. Instead of buying batteries which is excessively expensive. See if you have a 120 V wall adapter that you can splice in. Whenever I go to garage sales I always pick up these wall warts for $.25 apiece. There’s always a reason to have a dedicated 3 V, 5 V, 6 V, 9v,12 V adapters hardwired in or for more effort a quick disconnect plug.
What happened to the copper tea kettle? Always enjoy watching Thanks Scored me what looked like a weird fry pan that looked almost new at goodwill. $6 Turned out it was marked on the bottom as 1801 paul revere and googles lensed it and it immediately showed ebay listings with sold comps of $70- 100 preowned. Its a shallow 12in brass bottom and side crepe pan.BOLO
That is awesome!!! Awesome flip !! Revere ware is usually good especially copper bottoms :) The copper tea pot I believe was the last video. I had to split the sales up for time. Thanks so much for watching!!
I love copper bottoms myself. When production went to China the metal became thinner. The heavy stuff is American made. I have an 8 inch and twelve inch crepe pan myself, Good score for you. My rarest one is a flippy handled latch pail pot. Instead of two handles on sides it has one handle that goes from side to side to carry like a pail.
i'M NOT SURE WHAT PREVENTED ME FROM MY USUAL EAGERNRSS TO SKIP AD. i AM so glad I watched it through. I absolutely love it, %yhank you(sorry not yelling accidental cap lock)
The Gentleman Jack is a informative display used for promoting their products. After you put the batteries in you mash the button and it tells you a little history and their different products.
Fascinating. I'm an older retired soldier and just beginning to edge my foot into your world of finding and selling yard sale and other place stuff. Your video was informative and worthwhile. I've subscribed and will gather as much info as I can to develop a system that'll work for me. Have a lot to learn. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your service and thanks so much for watching and subbing - if you need anything i have a facebook page you can contact me and kayla on
That lady had me cracking up! I would have bought that whole bag also! I love Silver & possible Silver spoons & such. Her Salesman ship was hilarious, & it worked!
Late to the game here, but if you find those wooden coke or pepsi or milk bottle bins, you could use those in the booth to display little figurines or trinket boxes if you hung it on the wall and that would be super cute too - I love the booth!
Bearded Couple, there's a horner instrument that if you wanted to hear a good song older by Cher it called "Baby don't go". That instrument you hear is the same as the one you have.
The Jack Daniel's item looks like a sign the beverage distributor provided to liquor stores/bars. I'll bet if you get it powered up the screen will show an advertisement with details on the different types of whiskey with the aim of helping customers decide which bottle to buy (or shot to order). My parents owned a tavern and had a lot of signs provided by the distributors, if they work they can go for a lot of dough as the "home barroom" culture continues to grow and JD is a popular brand. You have a very good eye for cool old stuff 🙂
@@beardedthriftmachine I was going to add my 7 cents worth, as well. If you read the top portion of the sign, "Experience Whiskey the American Way" and add to it the JD, the Gentleman Jack, and the Old Forester. Since all three are listed and pictured, it is not a push towards one technique or process but more of a "Made in America, Buy American" stand. A gentle nudge to stay away from Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey and a VERY subtle way to say keep away from Canadian whisky. Canada and Ireland produce whisky while Scotland and USA produce whiskey. JD and GJ are both Tennessee Sour Mash whiskies while Old Forester is a Bourbon Whiskey.
So funny, I was just sitting here browsing RUclips videos and clicked on yours. I was thinking how much I miss “tag sales” in CT. I just posted on Facebook where do they have yard sales in SC as they’re rare in my area. Then I hear you say you’re near Myrtle Beach! I’m about 50-60 miles inland. Can you post a video of your favorite areas in the SC/NC area? Thank you!
A piece of advice to all. When shopping for used electronics, bring with you a battery bank with a regular plug outlet inverter so you can plug in to it any old electrical gadget or appliance to test if it works before buying it. ;)
Yes, absolutely. Sometimes the sellers only say, yes it works and that you can't test out in their house outlet or it's out in a flea market type setting, away from any outlets. And excellent idea, take your own power bank.
I was cleaning out an old barn that belonged to the company I worked for a few years ago, when I stumbled across a full case of very old Coke Glasses! The glass was very thick, very heavy and I am certain they came from an old restaurant, because there were so many of them (there was actually five cases of them) that were all grouped together! The problem was three of the other cases had got crushed and broken when part of the barn fell on them! The other case was damaged by the glasses looked fine, but they were harder to dig out, and the case I had, was the only case not destroyed or damaged in anyway, so that was the case I took home (I was told to throw them out by the way)!! I cleaned the glasses up and put them on Craig's List with a Coca Cola cooler I'd also found in the same pile, and for four months nobody was even interested in them!! Eventually I tossed them in the trash, because I was just tired of holding on to them!!
Yea some coke stuff def takes awhile to sell - i usually dont buy too much for it unless its a sign or clock awesome about going through the barn though for sure thanks so much for watching!
I haven’t even had time to watch the video yet but had to say CONGRATULATIONS on 10,000 subs!!!! I kinda feel like a proud Auntie right now😂🎉💐 Way to go Julian, you deserve it!
What brand were the captoe SHOES with the shoe trees...how much?? Clocks that advertise any major brand is an auto buy if the price is right! BOTH Coca-Cola clocks!!
They were like nunn bush or not a named brand - I thought they were Allen Edmonds - but it was a no go. That clock when I brought it home and plugged it in smoked and almost caught fire no joke lol
With all the electrical items you buy, you ought to look for a variable AC/DC power supply. I have one that was discarded at the local high school which has been very handy for testing electrical items.
I just watched how to make spoon rings this morning 😄 Guess that's why you showed up in my recommended vids. 😉 Lucky you huh. So with your spoons take a magnet with you to yard sales too & If it sticks to the spoon it's not silver sadly. Just giving you a tip 😉 😜 Here's a story for you..My co-worker & I were talking about half-sleeved concert shirts & I found one "Scorpions " I was so excited because it was x-LG and I knew it would fit him. I brought it to work and gave it to him & Wouldn't you know it!! He said oh my God this is vintage! Worth $200 or more I forgot I'm trying to put it past me because he is not even a coworker I talk to every day!! Don't even really know him I just was doing it out of pure excitement he tried to give it back but as much as I wanted to, I just couldn't & Didn't. But be sure next time I'm holding onto the next find 😉
I think some of those spoons are Nickel Silver. You got some good deals for the money. I used to be in the business. Always great fun looking for a treasure.
@@josephstrubhar8697 , You could be right about the spoons being pure silver. I certainly have been wrong before,especially not having them in my hands to examine closely. From the video they looked a lot like nickel silver, even better for the dealer if they are pure silver. The years I was in the business I found it a treasure to find unusual flatware and serving pieces even in Nickel Silver. Thanks for your input.
I wish I had more knowledge on them for sure - but growing up I never played them and even now I really dont have time to play them LOL =) thanks so much for watching
Very well set up garage sale. My kids laugh at me when I say I want to have one. I have older TV sets and they say no one will buy them but I disagree. To you it maybe no good but to someone else it’s a treasure.
HD sweatpants tag looks like it’s early 2000’s to midd. That’s when I was buying lots. I was riding and now my bike is just a sittin! Lol the video game it’s self you can make money parting out the parts. When we go on lockdown it’s hard to find anything and we have to go Rogue and do our own repairs lol
THank you for that info! Yea I have been trying to learn the different tags when it comes to harley gear I find a ton in my area Thank you! thanks so much for watching!
last thing looks like something that would be on a display table at a convention or on a store shelf to help promote. like Toys R Us used to have little display videos that would play a video or 2
Great video as always, Coca Cola stuff is so hard to value because there are a lot of reproduction things out there. But those trays are great and so are the crates. Harley stuff is great too.
I did this kind of thing buying from yard sales and Storage units way before it became famous on tv Started in 2008 til 2012 I sold alot on ebay at that time made a fair amount of profit and it was fun treasure hunting as well
Bought a Samurai Superlite Driver today at GW for $1.25 that appears new/barely used. Once my hubs and 2 adult boys saw it, they all shouted “DIBS.” Guess I’ll have a family auction tonight! 😂🤣😂 (1st golf club I’ve picked up thrifting!)
On electronics like the handheld game, research which ones are programmable, have been hacked, and have homebrew development kits for them. For example the DS2 has a homebrew kit, and you can repurpose them to various tasks, they even have wifi built in. Also even older smartphones that have wifi are useful as a wireless controller or displays. I all ever see at sales are baby clothes, kitchen stuff pots, pans, old garage junk(already have tons of garage junk)
I would have tried to buy every piece of Coca-Cola merchandise they had there. Also seen you set a sign aside when you picked up that pop crate, them old signs some of them are worth a fortune.
There is nothing wrong if you whip out your phone and do a quick online check for things to get some information on a piece. My sis and I do that (but we do not resell as it is for us) and no one has ever challenged us. So search on and happy shopping!
U popped up on my to watch feed . So gave u a look nice .. there was a lot of nice things at grate prices . That first spoon u had in ur hand before u took the bag . The way it's tarnished it should be silver . I have my grandmother's spoon collection.. the real silver ones get the rainbow 🌈 look to them just a FYI .. as for Coke .. the older it is the more money (Vintage coke anything) 😂🤣🤣 have a awesome day/night/ week and weekend . 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ Love from Tucson Arizona 💗🦎🌵🌻🦉👩🌾🌵🦎💗
That is awesome info!!! Thank you so much! I still have all the spoons and put them in storage until i could find a way to test them or find out if they are silver =) thanks so much for giving the video a watch! =)
@@beardedthriftmachine u can clean them with backing soda before useing a silver cleaner .. I love going to the thrift shops most don't know what they have and sale cheap .. u can find alot of thing that are antiques and clean them up and sale for more .. bought a dinning room table for $10. Came home looked it up and it was 100yrs old and going for $3,000 🙆♀️🤦♀️ and a leather jacket was authentic .. paid .50¢ 🙆♀️sold it for $200.
@@laurieutter8760 For cleaning the silver, this is what I used to to when I cleaned. Best in a dual sink. Clean the sink first and put the plug in the drain. Then rip off a piece of heavy duty foil and line the bottom. Spread some baking soda on the foil as you let the hot water run in the other sink. Sprinkle some salt on the baking soda. When the water is as hot as it gets run the water over the salted baking soda to dissolve both. This is a chemical reaction between the soda, salt and foil. The hot water facilitates it by being the means to get into all the nooks and crannies touching everything. Just remember if the fork don't touch the foil, the fork will fail. If the spoon touches the silver it'll sparkle. or Silver+Soda+Salt=Sparkle. I don't remember amounts. You can always do it again. This reaction is practically instantly.
I own and operate a small lawn care business and I have customers always giving me garage items all the time. They want to pay me too haul off but most of the time I give them a month or so of service for it
If that flatware isn't silver, it's at least silver plated. It just needs to be polished. Silver plated will usually say SP on the back of the handle, while solid silver will usually say Sterling.
just found your chnnl on a cold snowy night in pa.its 9degrees..1-29-2022. I used to go scavenging but haven't in yrs.ii go to family owned thrift stores they call consignment.njoyed watching you.i subd
Silver spoons, forks etc will have a makers hallmark like "ss "(Stirling silver), 925 stamped is silver. " epsn " (electic plated silver over nickle) or or an eps stamps are just plated.
WOW!! "Is" 3 times in a row!! Is that a record? Twice would suffice. 16:00 in and I'm still waiting to find out what exactly I'm supposed to always pick up at yard sales. I didn't see any records! That's what I always buy.

As you may have figured out by looking at your post, if you put a dash immediately before and immediately after any typing, it appears with a line through whatever is between the dashes. You can edit your original comment using the three dots to the right of your name. I suggest you edit your original comment for clarity, by removing the dashes or by moving them a space or two away - like this - so that the line through the words does not happen. When you enter it with the dashes right next to the text -like this- it puts the line through.
@@doloresreynolds8145 Thanks for informing me about the line thru part of my posting. I did not look at the post after writing it, the line was not showing on the original writing and only visible after posting it and clicking on the, (Show more) to expand the part that was hidden.
You walked by Tupperware Tumblers in the very beginning. Those are hot sellers... always
Ill definitely be on the look out for them :)
That garage sale there would of had me spending all sorts of money. That was a good one.
thank you! thanks so much for watching!
Before the internet I used to do my book buying at yard sales. I would get the late Saturday edition of the St. Louis paper and call dozens of sales and asked if they had a lot of old books. How did I get the numbers? I had a CITY DIRECTORY BY ADDRESS and so I could find the names and numbers and this way narrowed down to people who had what I wanted.
SO GLAD that you popped up on my Facebook feed!
Me too!! Thank you!
Awww I could Listen to that sweet lady all day!! Congratulations on your New subbie total and AWESOME FINDS!
Thank you so much!! =) Yea she was awesome kept handing me stuff and I was like sure Ill buy it LOL =)
As a avid garage sale hunter for over 30 years I can say knowledge is power, if you want to get the good stuff you better be there when they open the door or another hunter will get all the goodies. There is no bag limit on these hunters.
that is very true
As a pro myself I've thought about writing a book on yard sales to me he spends to much time at the stops got to get to the next stop asap and don't waste time on clothes if your looking for clothes go to the thrift store and me and my wife will split up and we have a code word when there is nother but crap we say nothing but NBC and we haul to the next one we could hit about 25 to 30 on a Saturday.
@@thebosscatman7 yep, you got this figured out, just hope you're not in my town. Happy hunting
I can attest to that. I went to an Estate Sale yesterday 2hrs 30mins after they opened. I missed out on a HP printer that sells for around $500. It was "Open Box" never used. I missed out on it, it was sold for $40.
Wow...I wish we had this kind of yard sale in my neck of the woods!
Did you get my suggestion on puttin chain necklaces down through ahalf of straw it will keep the cain from tangling. Its helps especially if you are shipping jewelry.
You all take care and have a ball unloading those storage bins
6:44 ... When I was a kid (1950s) this is the case the six ounce Coca-Colas came in. I think the 24 piece case was 75 cents. The 10 ounce "King Size Coke was not even available then. Individual bottles were 5 cents.
Thank you so much for the information! :) and thanks so much for watching!
Love the serving tray ...excellent conversation piece for a football party !....Bravo !
Thank you! 😊 and thank so much for watching!
First time seeing your channel. Regarding that beer/Whiskey drinking game. Instead of buying batteries which is excessively expensive. See if you have a 120 V wall adapter that you can splice in. Whenever I go to garage sales I always pick up these wall warts for $.25 apiece. There’s always a reason to have a dedicated 3 V, 5 V, 6 V, 9v,12 V adapters hardwired in or for more effort a quick disconnect plug.
Thanks for the tips! and thanks so much for the info and watching!
What happened to the copper tea kettle?
Always enjoy watching
Thanks
Scored me what looked like a weird fry pan that looked almost new at goodwill. $6 Turned out it was marked on the bottom as 1801 paul revere and googles lensed it and it immediately showed ebay listings with sold comps of $70- 100 preowned. Its a shallow 12in brass bottom and side crepe pan.BOLO
That is awesome!!! Awesome flip !! Revere ware is usually good especially copper bottoms :) The copper tea pot I believe was the last video. I had to split the sales up for time.
Thanks so much for watching!!
@@beardedthriftmachine This particular must be either a more expensive line of Revere ware or early because it was much thicker and heavier.
I love copper bottoms myself. When production went to China the metal became thinner. The heavy stuff is American made. I have an 8 inch and twelve inch crepe pan myself, Good score for you. My rarest one is a flippy handled latch pail pot. Instead of two handles on sides it has one handle that goes from side to side to carry like a pail.
i'M NOT SURE WHAT PREVENTED ME FROM MY USUAL EAGERNRSS TO SKIP AD. i AM so glad I watched it through. I absolutely love it, %yhank you(sorry not yelling accidental cap lock)
Thank you so much for not skipping and giving it a chance =) I read it as you were yelling until the end LOL =) thanks so much for watching!
The Gentleman Jack is a informative display used for promoting their products. After you put the batteries in you mash the button and it tells you a little history and their different products.
thanks so much for watching and the info!
Fascinating. I'm an older retired soldier and just beginning to edge my foot into your world of finding and selling yard sale and other place stuff. Your video was informative and worthwhile. I've subscribed and will gather as much info as I can to develop a system that'll work for me. Have a lot to learn. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your service and thanks so much for watching and subbing - if you need anything i have a facebook page you can contact me and kayla on
Thank you for serving Sir!!!
Your most welcome.
Here's a little tip about shipping... USPS has, if it fits, it ships. It doesn't matter how much it weighs. It goes by size.
yes those are the late rate boxes and padded mailers. =) thanks for watching
I've never been to a yard sale that good !!wow
I really enjoy your video and the way he talks so respectful .Good job 👍
thank you! =)
“Look at that, that’s a nice-looking spoon, right?”
😹😹🙀 That made my evening.😺
lol =) it was a good looking spoon
That lady had me cracking up! I would have bought that whole bag also! I love Silver & possible Silver spoons & such. Her Salesman ship was hilarious, & it worked!
Love the pocket binoculars!
Yea they were awesome!
Late to the game here, but if you find those wooden coke or pepsi or milk bottle bins, you could use those in the booth to display little figurines or trinket boxes if you hung it on the wall and that would be super cute too - I love the booth!
Bearded Couple, there's a horner instrument that if you wanted to hear a good song older by Cher it called "Baby don't go". That instrument you hear is the same as the one you have.
The Jack Daniel's item looks like a sign the beverage distributor provided to liquor stores/bars. I'll bet if you get it powered up the screen will show an advertisement with details on the different types of whiskey with the aim of helping customers decide which bottle to buy (or shot to order). My parents owned a tavern and had a lot of signs provided by the distributors, if they work they can go for a lot of dough as the "home barroom" culture continues to grow and JD is a popular brand. You have a very good eye for cool old stuff 🙂
Very true - you are correct on the Jack Daniels item - =) thank you so much and thanks for watching!
@@beardedthriftmachine I was going to add my 7 cents worth, as well. If you read the top portion of the sign, "Experience Whiskey the American Way" and add to it the JD, the Gentleman Jack, and the Old Forester. Since all three are listed and pictured, it is not a push towards one technique or process but more of a "Made in America, Buy American" stand. A gentle nudge to stay away from Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey and a VERY subtle way to say keep away from Canadian whisky. Canada and Ireland produce whisky while Scotland and USA produce whiskey. JD and GJ are both Tennessee Sour Mash whiskies while Old Forester is a Bourbon Whiskey.
So funny, I was just sitting here browsing RUclips videos and clicked on yours. I was thinking how much I miss “tag sales” in CT. I just posted on Facebook where do they have yard sales in SC as they’re rare in my area. Then I hear you say you’re near Myrtle Beach! I’m about 50-60 miles inland. Can you post a video of your favorite areas in the SC/NC area? Thank you!
I usually stay in the Myrtle beach area for the yard sales - carolina forest usually has a ton because there are so many houses over there.
4:20 tea 🍵 time! Those kettles are really cool I love the Delft style.
A piece of advice to all. When shopping for used electronics, bring with you a battery bank with a regular plug outlet inverter so you can plug in to it any old electrical gadget or appliance to test if it works before buying it. ;)
excellent idea
Yes, absolutely. Sometimes the sellers only say, yes it works and that you can't test out in their house outlet or it's out in a flea market type setting, away from any outlets. And excellent idea, take your own power bank.
Love yard sales but I dislike having one. Great job!! Loved shopping with you.
i havent had one yet - kayla and i were talking about doing one - seems like alot of work LOL
I was cleaning out an old barn that belonged to the company I worked for a few years ago, when I stumbled across a full case of very old Coke Glasses! The glass was very thick, very heavy and I am certain they came from an old restaurant, because there were so many of them (there was actually five cases of them) that were all grouped together! The problem was three of the other cases had got crushed and broken when part of the barn fell on them! The other case was damaged by the glasses looked fine, but they were harder to dig out, and the case I had, was the only case not destroyed or damaged in anyway, so that was the case I took home (I was told to throw them out by the way)!! I cleaned the glasses up and put them on Craig's List with a Coca Cola cooler I'd also found in the same pile, and for four months nobody was even interested in them!!
Eventually I tossed them in the trash, because I was just tired of holding on to them!!
Yea some coke stuff def takes awhile to sell - i usually dont buy too much for it unless its a sign or clock
awesome about going through the barn though for sure
thanks so much for watching!
I haven’t even had time to watch the video yet but had to say CONGRATULATIONS on 10,000 subs!!!! I kinda feel like a proud Auntie right now😂🎉💐 Way to go Julian, you deserve it!
Thank you so much!!! And thanks for watching and commenting it really means alot and helps the channel out :)
Ohhhhh I get it! This was a year ago! Wow Julian! This channel has really really grown super fast!
Spoons like those are used. For jewelry drawer pulls and ornaments
thanks so much for watching!
That Experience Whiskey display is not a game, it is one of those displays for advertising at the store
thank you!
thanks so much for watching!
10K!!! 🎉 🍻 Congratulations. That Sorel jacket was an awesome score
Thanks!! Yea I thought that thing was nice!!! Cant beat it for only $6!!!! =)
thanks so much for watching!
What brand were the captoe SHOES with the shoe trees...how much?? Clocks that advertise any major brand is an auto buy if the price is right! BOTH Coca-Cola clocks!!
They were like nunn bush or not a named brand - I thought they were Allen Edmonds - but it was a no go. That clock when I brought it home and plugged it in smoked and almost caught fire no joke lol
@@beardedthriftmachine
.
Kk lol o11
With all the electrical items you buy, you ought to look for a variable AC/DC power supply. I have one that was discarded at the local high school which has been very handy for testing electrical items.
very good advice! ill have to get that
Julian, congratulations on reaching 10,000 subs! Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be at 20k before you know it.
Fingers crossed! =)
thanks so much for watching!
1 year later….almost 100k way to go! ❤
I just watched how to make spoon rings this morning 😄 Guess that's why you showed up in my recommended vids. 😉 Lucky you huh. So with your spoons take a magnet with you to yard sales too & If it sticks to the spoon it's not silver sadly. Just giving you a tip 😉 😜 Here's a story for you..My co-worker & I were talking about half-sleeved concert shirts & I found one "Scorpions " I was so excited because it was x-LG and I knew it would fit him. I brought it to work and gave it to him & Wouldn't you know it!! He said oh my God this is vintage! Worth $200 or more I forgot I'm trying to put it past me because he is not even a coworker I talk to every day!! Don't even really know him I just was doing it out of pure excitement he tried to give it back but as much as I wanted to, I just couldn't & Didn't. But be sure next time I'm holding onto the next find 😉
that is awesome!!!! Great tip too one the magnet to the yard sale! thank you and thanks so much for watching! =)
@@beardedthriftmachine Best of luck! 😉
I think some of those spoons are Nickel Silver. You got some good deals for the money. I used to be in the business. Always great fun looking for a treasure.
thank you for the info =) yes looking for treasure is my favorite =)
The spoons that are heavily scored or bent are pure silver!
@@josephstrubhar8697 , You could be right about the spoons being pure silver. I certainly have been wrong before,especially not having them in my hands to examine closely. From the video they looked a lot like nickel silver, even better for the dealer if they are pure silver. The years I was in the business I found it a treasure to find unusual flatware and serving pieces even in Nickel Silver. Thanks for your input.
So refreshing to hear you say you dont know much about video games & you dont play them!
I wish I had more knowledge on them for sure - but growing up I never played them and even now I really dont have time to play them LOL =)
thanks so much for watching
Very well set up garage sale. My kids laugh at me when I say I want to have one. I have older TV sets and they say no one will buy them but I disagree. To you it maybe no good but to someone else it’s a treasure.
thats 100% right! id def have one! -=)
HD sweatpants tag looks like it’s early 2000’s to midd. That’s when I was buying lots. I was riding and now my bike is just a sittin! Lol the video game it’s self you can make money parting out the parts. When we go on lockdown it’s hard to find anything and we have to go Rogue and do our own repairs lol
THank you for that info! Yea I have been trying to learn the different tags when it comes to harley gear I find a ton in my area
Thank you! thanks so much for watching!
I really like that thing beside the box!
You know what I’m talking about!?
last thing looks like something that would be on a display table at a convention or on a store shelf to help promote. like Toys R Us used to have little display videos that would play a video or 2
i agree
Wow you don't rip the sellers off, appreciate that!
Excellent purchase, and PROFIT!!!!🤑🤑 THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT, UNLESS YOU FIND SOMETHING YOU WANT WANNA KEEP ITS A WIN, WIN!!!! MORE PLEASE 😃✌️😉
very true =)
thanks so much for watching!
Great video as always, Coca Cola stuff is so hard to value because there are a lot of reproduction things out there. But those trays are great and so are the crates. Harley stuff is great too.
I agree - hard to know the difference - the older stuff sells but to me they all look the same
I did this kind of thing buying from yard sales and Storage units way before it became famous on tv Started in 2008 til 2012 I sold alot on ebay at that time made a fair amount of profit and it was fun treasure hunting as well
yea that hunt is awesome!
Bought a Samurai Superlite Driver today at GW for $1.25 that appears new/barely used. Once my hubs and 2 adult boys saw it, they all shouted “DIBS.” Guess I’ll have a family auction tonight! 😂🤣😂 (1st golf club I’ve picked up thrifting!)
LOL family auction always a good move! good pick up too!
I love Family Auctions! I stash the money for more Treasure Hunting!
On electronics like the handheld game, research which ones are programmable, have been hacked, and have homebrew development kits for them. For example the DS2 has a homebrew kit, and you can repurpose them to various tasks, they even have wifi built in. Also even older smartphones that have wifi are useful as a wireless controller or displays. I all ever see at sales are baby clothes, kitchen stuff pots, pans, old garage junk(already have tons of garage junk)
thank you so much for that info!
Nice find with the game boy advance and Pokemon, and the old coke cola create.
Thank you: )
I would have tried to buy every piece of Coca-Cola merchandise they had there. Also seen you set a sign aside when you picked up that pop crate, them old signs some of them are worth a fortune.
yea looking back i should have bought a little more for sure =)
This was fun! "Shopping" with you and not spending a dime!
Thank you!!! Best type of shopping: )
I totally agree!
Check with local liquor stores on the whiskey experience. They usually have contacts on the wholesale side that might know about it.
great idea!
thank you so much for watching!
Little binoculars are referred to as "Opera Glasses" they are about 2.5 magnification usually.
thank you so much for that info and for watching!
There is nothing wrong if you whip out your phone and do a quick online check for things to get some information on a piece. My sis and I do that (but we do not resell as it is for us) and no one has ever challenged us. So search on and happy shopping!
=) def! i do that sometimes if i buy it for myself and i want to know if its a good deal LOL
I would have scooped up those African Violet planters!
ill have to look that up =)
@@beardedthriftmachine not necessarily to sell. I have many African violets, and you don't really see them for sale. Crafters charge a lot for them.
I used to live in Myrtle Beach and I used to have yard sales. Wonder if you or your Dad ever came to my yard sales! Lol
Maybe- we only be really going for 2 years or so :)
thanks for all the recaps on your vids. I am a beginner reseller only on mercari and am learning alot.
That is awesome! Thank you so much for watching them and im glad it helping!
U popped up on my to watch feed . So gave u a look nice .. there was a lot of nice things at grate prices . That first spoon u had in ur hand before u took the bag . The way it's tarnished it should be silver . I have my grandmother's spoon collection.. the real silver ones get the rainbow 🌈 look to them just a FYI .. as for Coke .. the older it is the more money (Vintage coke anything) 😂🤣🤣 have a awesome day/night/ week and weekend . 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Love from Tucson Arizona 💗🦎🌵🌻🦉👩🌾🌵🦎💗
That is awesome info!!! Thank you so much! I still have all the spoons and put them in storage until i could find a way to test them or find out if they are silver =)
thanks so much for giving the video a watch! =)
@@beardedthriftmachine u can clean them with backing soda before useing a silver cleaner .. I love going to the thrift shops most don't know what they have and sale cheap .. u can find alot of thing that are antiques and clean them up and sale for more .. bought a dinning room table for $10. Came home looked it up and it was 100yrs old and going for $3,000 🙆♀️🤦♀️ and a leather jacket was authentic .. paid .50¢ 🙆♀️sold it for $200.
@@laurieutter8760 For cleaning the silver, this is what I used to to when I cleaned. Best in a dual sink. Clean the sink first and put the plug in the drain. Then rip off a piece of heavy duty foil and line the bottom. Spread some baking soda on the foil as you let the hot water run in the other sink. Sprinkle some salt on the baking soda. When the water is as hot as it gets run the water over the salted baking soda to dissolve both. This is a chemical reaction between the soda, salt and foil. The hot water facilitates it by being the means to get into all the nooks and crannies touching everything. Just remember if the fork don't touch the foil, the fork will fail. If the spoon touches the silver it'll sparkle. or Silver+Soda+Salt=Sparkle. I don't remember amounts. You can always do it again. This reaction is practically instantly.
Nice yard sale~Wow. Smiles from New Jersey🥰
My husband got me hooked on watching you. Best wishes and Happy Hunting!
Thank is awesome!!! Thank you and him for watching ! much appreciated
I own and operate a small lawn care business and I have customers always giving me garage items all the time.
They want to pay me too haul off but most of the time I give them a month or so of service for it
That is AWESOME!!! you can make some great money in clean outs for sure!
thanks so much for watching!
Nice. Pulled in some solid items. That lady was selling stuff
Yea she was. She kept handing me stuff and I was like sure ill take it.
thanks so much for watching!
You taught me something new …… golf cart chargers …..? I would have never guessed ??? Thank You !!
yea they are huge money - really anything about a golf cart is worth money in my area =)
thanks so much for watching!
If that flatware isn't silver, it's at least silver plated. It just needs to be polished. Silver plated will usually say SP on the back of the handle, while solid silver will usually say Sterling.
Thank you so much for watching and the info

I love the spoons.
Silver spoons, forks etc will have a makers hallmark like "ss "(Stirling silver), 925 stamped is silver. " epsn " (electic plated silver over nickle) or or an eps stamps are just plated.
I was waiting on the information on the little copper tea pot , blue n white handle. I have one that was my grandmother's s

WOW!! "Is" 3 times in a row!! Is that a record? Twice would suffice.
16:00 in and I'm still waiting to find out what exactly I'm supposed to always pick up at yard sales. I didn't see any records! That's what I always buy.
