I use a used dryer sheet to clean that felt in jewelry boxes. It does double duty because it cleans the dust off, and it freshens the smell. It’s super quick, costs nothing and is very effective!
I have the same stainless Japan flatware set as the NOS you picked up. I picked up a whole bag of it from my local Buy Nothing page and it's now my everyday set. I love your videos and they are never too long!
I usually find hidden gems on last day of Estate Sales. Especially if it’s a real picker sale which can be daunting to some people. At that point some companies do “fill a bag” cheap just to get it cleared out.
The estate sales around me have been pricing items so high, that the good stuff is still around by the last day. I’ve been able to snag some nice items to flip and to keep. Found some vintage makeup compacts and other vanity items from the 30s-50s. No one wanted to go in the bathroom so it was all left for me lol 😊 paid about $1 each in the end since they were still there in the last hour of the sale. You never know what you’ll find on the second or last day after people have cleared some of it out already.
Love the swimsuit! I haven't looked at comps but I think 100 easy for sure. I'd price it closer to 200. Looks so cool... Vintage glam. Love your videos!
I only go on 50% day and get some great deals, especially within the last hour. A couple of estate sale companies really slash the prices then. I did pick up some jewelry at the last estate sale I went to and even with lots of people going through it I still manage to pick up 4 pairs of silver earings marked Italy and 925. I'm thinking of getting a test kit just to make sure, have you used one of those? I also got what I think is a scarf ring that is signed Rebecca Collins, I need to do some research on that. Its not marked silver but isn't magnetic either.
That Coloniawful is a fantastic name! It pains me to look at it! I lived with it! Yuck!!! However, MCM, the sleek stuff, wrought iron hairpin legs, wood, Formica … YES!
I didn’t know there is an interest in colonial style things. I did hear that in 2026 there might be interest in centennial & bicentennial things because it will be the sestercentenial “250 year” anniversary of the country.
