I Bought 120 Vintage Coleman Lanterns To Sell on EBAY! Was it Worth it? 

Thanks Man! Gotta get them listed but it is currently 35 degrees in the garage and I just cant bring myself to stay out there today lol. BTW im still filming on that Canon G7X II I bought from you years back. Best investment lol

@@ThriftSchool nice! I knew that thing had plenty of life left!

Wow both my favorite youtuber in one comment. Big fan here in the Philippines

Totally agree. I knew nothing about these before I got all of them. I learned so much and still have a bunch to list. Its been fun.

And then a stint with Ted Williams.

Thank you! I get excited easily

Thank you for thr tip on the date. And I believe there is a Clemente auto on the mag. Im going to a Convention on Friday to have it checked out

they are cool as heck

Thanks :)

so cool looking

Still selling them every week!

good idea. possibly for double what I paid locally

He just liked collecting them. No clue why, I guess we all have our vices lol

There is a huge community of people who collect coleman lanterns, 125 lanterns is considered an average amount among the die hard collectors, there are auctions and trading conventions of coleman lanterns and other coleman products that are held throughout the country, it’s usually focused on the old classic antique models, and as you can see, people are willing to pay a pretty penny for some hard to find models.

Its linked in my description under the video. Its Jdu.jes I now ship them even more securely. I box up the globe in a smaller box and then put it with the rest of the lantern in a bigger box

So expensive. I have so many more to list. But no more military ones I think

solid score

pretty nuts :)

hey yo

Im pumped to get to listing

Just selling them all as-is, untested.

@@ThriftSchool do you list them as used or parts/not working?

Why is that

Yes. Yes he would have

Maybe the guy wanted to get out of collecting, or maybe he lost interest and just wanted them gone because he was moving, there’s really no way to know why he sold all those lanterns for $1200, but for you to imply the guy got screwed, you’re just assuming the guy had no clue what his lanterns are worth, or that he was forced to sell his collection for just $1200, either way, it’s just plain dumb to think he got screwed, and even more dumb to think new buyers of these lanterns are also getting screwed, it’s free will, no one is forced to do anything, if a person sells something way under price or someone pays way over price, that’s on them, it’s their choice, but I have to say that your whole comment shows that you seem to be bitter that someone scored a great haul.

It doesn't say how he came up with the price he paid. If the neighbor asked $1200 then that is a fair price. If the neighbor cared to make more he could have sold them all individually. He is not screwing anyone on eBay. It's an auction site that lets people pay what they want by bidding for it. If someone thought the price is too high they can stop bidding.
