estate sales and I'm going to try to do as much filming as possible there is two really big community sells so hopefully today's going to be a good day and you know hopefully we make some money I did pretty good last weekend if you didn't check out my last yard sale video go check it out I did pretty good I found some pretty good items some of that stuff has already sold and I love it when you go you know when you go sourcing one weekend and then the next weekend you go sourcing you think about all of the items that you got last weekend and I've sold probably quite a bit of that stuff so far so it's a it's been a really good week my sells was really good and you know we're back on the beat we're trying to make some money today so right now I'm heading to a garage sale that starts at 7 o'clock usually there's only a couple of sales in my area that start at 7 so I'm trying to get out early the early bird gets the worm we're gonna make some money today I have a good feeling about today so let's get to the first sale [Music] how much is the fountain $50 and it works and it's copper and these are the paperwork's and it's super cool yeah and it um you can it does water you know it's very peaceful I don't know some money spent a lot of money I mean a lot of time making it you know just copper beat with my dad's know super cool this just talks at all about it they could

board game I can't buy it we already got it master flow does this little air compressor work okay hey that's like me everything I sell my yard sale is it's pretty much stuff that I've never used I buy so much stuff and then never use it yeah yeah that's it's all about just riding around how much of the shoes over here this uh I think this is a belt that goes black and out yeah how much for this one for about three cuz I have another one perfect all right there we go thank you I appreciate it thank you nobody so got this air compressor got these rock climbing rock climbing shoes and a rock climbing belt not too shabby so I've been in this community sale for the past probably 20-30 minutes and it's really spread out the houses are really far apart in some areas but I found a couple of decent items I didn't film one of my batteries went dead so anyways off to the next yard sale and the next adventure hopefully I can find some more stuff and I just pulled up to one so I'm gonna go over here and check out this sale alrighty so it's about eleven o'clock I'm about to head back to the warehouse yard sales and estate cells are officially over I found some pretty good items though I just now at my last garage sale picked up two vintage Walt Disney jackets both of them kind of wanted as that one is a denim like varsity jacket like kind of style varsity style jacket and then the other is a I think it's like a wool and a pigskin not really sure what they're worth I paid two dollars each so four bucks I usually do really good with vintage like Walt Disney items Mickey Mouse items especially the jackets jackets and sweaters but anyways those were just picked up I also picked up a sony DVD VCR recorder combo so that was a good purchase but yeah I'm finished for the day I'm about to head back to the warehouse and then we'll do a official haul video and I'll show you everything I picked up today okay so I just made it back to the warehouse I'm about to unload the vehicle I'm gonna show you all of the items that I picked up today overall today was a really good day I went to a couple of community sales I went to a retirement community and I found some pretty decent items obviously none of the items that I hid today are real big-ticket items I don't think anything I have is gonna sell over a hundred hundred fifty bucks probably not even over a hundred but most of the stuff that I picked up today was extremely cheap just like last week most of the items that I purchased was you know anywhere between $1.00 to you know $5 $10 nothing was you know really expensive and that's kind of good sometimes but it can also be bad sometimes I don't mind paying up for items but I have to find those items and there just wasn't that much good stuff out there today no high-end electronics I did get some electronics but nothing real real high-end so anyways let me go ahead and pull out all of the items and then I'll show you what I picked up today okay so these are two jackets that I picked up now these were picked up I think almost my last garage sale I basically was in a retirement community and they had a bunch of clothing so I found these two jackets on a clothing rack and I asked the lady how much is the clothing she said all of the clothing is a dollar the jackets are three dollars each so I purchased two Disney jackets this one has a Mickey Mouse right here on the front and then it also has Mickey Mouse on the back the tag says I'm pretty sure they're vintage it's a zip it's a full zip plus it has buttons but basically the tag says that hopefully you're going to be able to see that but yeah it says Mickey's 1928 pigskin classic and then it has another tag below it that says that it's a 76% wool 24% polyester so it kind of looks like a varsity jacket it's green it's wool it's in pretty good condition I'm gonna have to get the lint roller out and it also has the leather on the sleeves so pretty decent jacket picked it up for three dollars so the next one I have is a denim winnie-the-pooh so it says Winnie the Pooh silly old bear and pretty good you know good condition doesn't have any rips it doesn't have any tears no missing buttons so this one should sell pretty good this is also a Disney Catalog jacket size medium picked it up three dollars alrighty so the next item that I picked up today is this fostex it is a filled memory recorder so I'm not really sure exactly what this is used for but it is kind of looks like just like a little handheld recorder device anyways this if you look on eBay this model sells for like a hundred bucks but it's a more modern model if you look at the boxes this is actually the vintage box there's another box that is a lot more colorful and it's basically just a more modern device this one's actually the vintage one so I'm not really sure what this is gonna bring it is pretty much I don't know if I'm gonna be able to sell it for new but I mean it appears to be new I looked at the the device and it has no scratches it doesn't have any kind of like blemishes but it does look like somebody's taking it out of the box it has the manual it has the charger it has everything pretty much everything that comes with it I think I'm gonna have to double check it's made in the USA serial number and fostex I mean these this should sell good I'm not sure exactly how much it's gonna sell for but it should definitely sell good these are a pair of rock climbing shoes I find these all the time not really I don't really know why because we live in Florida but for some reason I find them a lot a garage cells so this is a pair of Montrell or Montrell I'm not sure how you pronounce that brand mo in tra il Montrell but anyways a pair of rock climbing shoes they are definitely used but I mean they're not falling apart I don't know exactly how much these are gonna sell for but based on my experience I do really good with this type of stuff usually once I list this stuff this you know it sells pretty good so that was a really good deal and this he said is like a rock climbing harness or belt I'm guessing this goes around your your waist and this goes around your legs and it makes it to where you can hang all of your tools for rock climbing off the side of your waist this is a made by that company and I'm not really sure exactly how much this is worth but basically it's rock climbing gear so it should sell good most of the times if you find rock climbing shoes and gear and things of that nature definitely look it up because from my experience rock climbing stuff sells really good also if you want to follow somebody on YouTube that actually knows a lot about like outdoor gear and things of that nature there's actually two people Erik the college picker he is a you know a cyclist he does a lot of you know outdoor type activities so he knows a lot about the brands and things of that nature for cycling running all kinds of different things but also there is another person which is a bona fide bona fide hustler that's his channel go subscribe to both of those guys but both of them know a lot about outdoor stuff and actually ever since I've been watching the bonafide hustler I actually picked up on a couple of brands and things to be on the lookout for so anyways always look for rock climbing gear accessories shoes anything to do with rock climbing and hiking in general and cycling stuff I mean pretty much all that stuff but you got to understand that there is cheap stuff and there is expensive stuff so you need to go do your research figure out exactly what brands you should be looking for the reason that the only reason that I picked these up without looking them up is because of the price anyways those are three really good items onto the next alrighty so if you follow my channel then you know that I'm not a really big clothing seller I do sell clothing but it's not my go-to you know it's not I don't really buy it on a regular basis or at least I don't try to buy it on a regular basis but as a reseller I buy anything and everything as long as I can make money on it it's just that clothing just isn't you know my go-to you know expertise I'm not really you know super super good with brands but I do know enough to get by right anyways today at a garage sale I seen all of these car hard shorts and these are all Tommy Bahama like Hawaiian button ups and all of them are really big sizes they're either extra-large or 2x and the reason that I purchased all of these is because of how cheap they were so basically they were a dollar apiece and he gave me a deal I got 13 of them for I think it was either 10 or 11 if you watched the beginning of the video when I'm out actually at the garage sale then you see I think I paid 10 or 11 so actually I got them a little cheaper than a dollar apiece and the shorts are all pretty big so these are all I think they're either 44 or 48 so they're 44 so that's a pretty big size and they're Carhartt and they're all in really good condition so I'm not sure how much these sell for I've tried to look up comps but you know when it comes down to clothing it's hard to say but they're all in really good condition none of them have rips tears or stains they don't even look to be you know worn that much I don't really go after these because they're just they don't make that much you know profit for me but when they're this cheap you know less than a dollar then I can risk it because obviously you know if I get fifteen to twenty dollars a shirt then I'm making decent profit now on the shorts obviously those are gonna sell pretty good I think I think these should average at about twenty dollars a pair so altogether that was a really good score let's move on to the next item okay the next item that I picked up is this little air compressor you can see the price tag I paid three dollars this is a little air compressor and I'm pretty sure it's used for like hobby people people that use like air brushes to paint like little modeled cars or or model boats things of that nature but it's basically just a little itty bitty air compressor it's made by a company called master flow so I don't know I didn't look it up it's three dollars I mean I've sold these in the past I just can't remember exactly if it was this you know exact brand but I'm gonna clean it up real nice it comes with a little carrying bag I'm gonna have to do some research and look it up to see exactly how much it's worth but overall I think I'm gonna be able to make money it has a little gauge on the top a little cover that goes over it three bucks I think I should be able to turn a profit I'm just not sure you know exactly how much the next item is this this is called tinted jury I think that's how you pronounce it anyways it's a universal smart charger I forgot to show you this earlier this actually goes with this basically these two items go together so that's actually going to boost the value of this item because this is some kind of universal charger and he said it went to this so I'm not 100% sure I'm gonna have to inspect all of the items and you know kind of make sure everything goes together but the guy that I bought it from said that that's the charger for it alrighty so the next item that I'm going to show you is a big pile of I think these are either softball or baseball pants so there's a couple of different brands most of them are Easton I picked out all of the pairs that look to be almost new basically you know these look they'd have absolutely no wear so I tried to get all of them that had nowhere I got multiple pair and they all seem to be extra large so that's really good I got black and red ones just solid black ones and then there's also a couple of other brands in here but these always sell really good for me so if you ever come across you know softball or baseball gear like pants and shirts and things pick it up because you can make money on it people don't like to go out to stores and pay full-blown retail especially on items like this because all they're gonna do is their kids or whoever is going to wear them they're basically just going to destroy them anyway so people go onto eBay all the time and in buy used ones I'm not sure what brand that is I cannot figure out what brand it is but it says it there it just has this weird crazy writing that I cannot see because of my vision but anyways they look to be new I mean literally they have no scuff marks no nothing and a couple of them actually still have the tags on them like these right here this is a different brand boomba so I'm not sure how much those retail for but these are brand-new these are brand-new and these are Easton Easton women's Pro pants black this is a size large so those should those should sell really good here's another pair of the brand that I cannot see anyways this is a whole pile of them I got a bunch of different ones here's some that are under here's a pair of gray ones these are Under Armour and here's another pair this is Easton and then another pair of Easton so all together I got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 13 of them and he was wanting a dollar each again I you know negotiated I would have paid $1 each but I said would you do the 13 for 10 he said okay so I'm less than $1 each on all of these these are you know these should sell really good I don't think I'm gonna have any problem making money at all make sure to be on the lookout for softball or baseball gear pants and shirts I know a lot of resellers you know they go after the gloves and the bats and things but there's also money to be made in the actual clothing itself I think this is the only two electrical items that I picked up other than this thing here I picked up this Sony it is a RDR VX v 1 v VHS VCR VHS DVD combo it is a video cassette recorder so it's a Sony it has the factory remote and it has the the manual I paid five bucks for it I did not have an opportunity to test it so I pretty much gambled on it but the lady said it worked the last time she you know had it plugged up and hooked up to her television so five bucks on that this is a Yamaha this is an RX v 5 6-3 Yamaha receiver I'm gonna have to clean it up they put these uh these little sticky things I'm not sure what it's for but I think it's for like zip ties or something but it comes with the cables that's an HDMI cable not really sure what this is for but has the factory remote so that's really good she she said it worked 100% I was able to plug it up to make sure it powered on I paid nine bucks for it i bundled it with another item and I can't remember what the other item was I think it was a clothing item or something so anyways a really good deal you know I love to buy electronics if you've been following my channel you know that I love to buy receivers I love to buy DVD VCR combos I love cleaning this stuff up and selling this stuff there's lots of money to be made in items like this I know most resellers are buying and selling these but I know a lot of resellers stay away from big you know pieces of equipment like this because of the weight and the hassle of having to test all of the features and all the inputs and outputs and things of that nature but this is what I actually you know thrive in I've learned a lot about this type of stuff in the past you know five or six years and you know if an item comes in that's really expensive and it needs a minor repair I don't mind opening it up I don't remind you know I don't mind making simple repairs and especially on items that are going to sell you know I've sold plenty of four or five hundred dollar receivers that I purchased at garage sells for five or ten bucks just because it needed a capacitor or something went out in it a resistor you know something simple so always be on the lookout for you know electronics period but definitely be on the lookout for like vintage stuff outdated items things of that nature and you can always look them up by the model number they're very easy to look up for all of you out there that you know that don't really step in this field that much look the items up you never know what you're gonna find alrighty so the next couple of items this little guy here I picked it up because it was 50 Cent's it is actually made by Nintendo and I thought I just thought he was super cool I'm not really sure what he's gonna sell for but 50 Cent's you know Mario always does really good so hopefully I'll be able to make some money I'm gonna have to look them up if you know what this items worth hit me up in the comment section it says official Nintendo I can't really see 2012 so he's definitely not that old but uh hey he's really cool maybe I'll just add him to my collection of little items and I have a bunch of toys and stuff in my office that I've been collecting for a few years that I keep on display but anyways I picked him up he was 50 cents this I picked up just because it's just really cool-looking I'll probably just add this to my collection but it says Edison gold molded records echo all over the world made in the Edison laboratory Orange Valley New Jersey under patents of Thomas Edison so not really sure it was 50 Cent's I don't really know what this thing is worth but uh I think it's super super cool it just has that really cool look to it and I'll probably keep this and add it to my collection next item that I picked up this was a really cool fine this is a OneTouch Nikon zoom q D autofocus 38 to 70 millimeter zoom lens built-in auto zoom flash with redeye reduction just a little film camera it is new old stock this item is brand new she said she purchased it and basically it just set in her garage for years and years and years so that's a really cool item I could not find I think I found one or two that sold that were actually new old stock and I can't remember I think they sold for like thirty five forty five dollars this was two bucks next item that I picked up this is a Leatherman this is a super tool 200 these are something you always need to keep your eyes out for because these are all over the place and resellers pass them up all the time most resellers don't think there's any value in them or they don't understand Leatherman tool at all but these I sell on a regular basis right now I probably have like nine or ten of these in my store they make different models and if you find them new in the package they can sell for a lot of money this one it doesn't even have the sheath the actual case but it's in good condition probably 35 to 40 bucks I paid 50 cent for it out of garage sell next item that I picked up this was at the retirement community the lady that I purchased it from said she purchased it brought it home and her husband could not figure out how to hook it up so she said it is 100% brand-new other than it has been opened I inspected it it looks new everything looks you know just like it should she said her husband could not figure out how to hook it up so I purchased this and I purchased these items all together I paid $10 for all of these items these are just costume jewelry but this one's really cool-looking I should probably be able to get probably $10 for that probably you know probably 10 bucks for that this is something that's really cool now at first you know this doesn't look like much I picked it up and I started to really inspect it and it's a handmade item so I don't expect it to be marked with any kind of manufacturers mark or anything like that this is a 100% handmade item but what what actually happened was I picked it up and I started to talk to the lady about this item and she was able to give me a bunch of information so basically the lady that I purchased this from she is from Italy she moved to the United States in 1981 her family was I think she said her great-great-grandfather was a jewelers metalsmiths some something to do with like making jewelry and making things out of metal so she said this was made for her grandmother's wedding by her great-great grandfather or great-great grandfather I can't remember exactly what she said but anyways so that's when I started to really think is this silver basically you know from my experience immediately it appeared to be silver the weight of it feels correct if you uh if you look at the detail of it if you look at how the metal is tarnishing it screams silver but obviously I did not want to ask you know the lady if it was actually sterling silver because then I didn't want to provoke her to you know put a high high price on it so I just basically said how much she said four dollars I said I'll take it for four dollars so I just got home I tested it it is 100% sterling silver now it doesn't weigh that much you know it's definitely not that much as foreign as far as like scrap weight but this item is worth a lot more than scrap because it's a handmade piece of art so I'm not really sure what I value this item at I mean I'm gonna list it on eBay and I'm probably gonna list it high and just see if somebody's willing to pay you know top dollar but this was a really cool find probably the best find of the day because this is the kind of stuff that I just love I love finding stuff like this handmade items all kinds of different stuff and it's just super cool anyways just had to share that story with you alrighty the next item that I want to show you is this fossil this is a I'm pretty sure it's a chronograph it's a model F s 2919 pretty decent watch it's stainless steel it does have some little scuffs and some scratches but overall condition is really really nice the crystal is in really good condition it doesn't have any chips or cracks if you look this model up this watch sells for anywhere between I think I've seen it as low as like 50 and really poor condition all the way up to like a hundred to 125 and really good condition I'm gonna clean this up and obviously it still works well it was working earlier so I'm gonna clean it up I'm gonna check it make sure everything's functioning correctly and I'll probably list it somewhere around like 80 to 90 bucks I bought this at a garage sale and it was $2.00 already so we made it to the end of the video thanks a lot for sticking around and watching until the end I really appreciate it I just wanted to show you a sale day and what it looks like for me to go out and hit yard sales hit estate sales I wanted to show you the kinds of items that I buy hopefully you are a subscriber to the
