Have you ever thought about doing follow-up videos? Something where you maybe go over some of the riskier purchases you've made in previous videos (like the dolls in this one) and tell us how you actually came out on the deal once you managed to sell it?
beyondtheflame77, that's what I want too. Like 6 months from now, Anthony could make a video about the items he bought today. He's great at editing & splicing in tidbits, he could have a 15 second recap of the dolls, GI Joe, etc. he bought & then go to the actual sales. I'd be very interested in the financial side of the business. I understand his need for privacy, so it probably won't happen. I dabble somewhat here in San Diego & it's time very consuming, but once in awhile you do hit that grand slam.
The average is definitely the way to look at things. I usually take the full days receipts and just work toward covering that. Once it is covered, what is left is profit. You can't kick yourself for the bad buys or nitpick the uncertainties. I do concur with the above comments. It would be cool to hear how you came out on some of the riskier buys. Of course, being 2 years ago, maybe you have covered that by now. I've only watched a couple of dozen of the frogfests.
We luck out here with Estate Sales. Elderly people tend to price things cheap like they did at the garage sales they always used to have- 5¢, 10¢, etc. It's a hoot. (Unless of course it's their kids having the estate sale and they are sentimental about the items, then they do price high.) Now off to watch the rest. 💗🐸
I found a very thin book on the book shelf at an estate sale. I thought it was covered in vellom, but never saw vellom before, it just looked really old. It unpriced so I asked the owner of the Estate sale company snd got it for 10 dollars. On closer inspection, it was printed in 1604. Encloased in it was a hand made envelope. The envelope contained a document hand-written in old German long hand. I know enough German and history that I believe it to be a contract between King George 111 and Frederick the Great for Prussia to provide England with Hessian troops for the Revolutionary War and for their war with France. I determined his by the dates, the word contract, and the royal seal. the book had a beautiful drawing f a battle in a harbor on the last page. the book was written in old Latin. Took it the the Antique road show. they determined the book was worth 2500 to 3500, had no clue about the contract. Took the book to our antique mall space and pute a price of 1500 on it and sold it the first day for 1000. I still have the contract. could have held out for more, but getting 1000 for a 10 dollar investment was pretty good. I always go foe boxes of ephemera too. Happy finds in them too.
You really should’ve held on to that book a little while longer. At least to gauge some interest with it because letting it go on the first day for 2/3 of the listing price was a big mistake.
Good buy on the barbies. I was in the fourth grade and a friend got the skipper doll that year for Christmas. She was so proud of that doll. Those dolls were not played with much if any!
I agree about estate sales. Here in NW Indiana they tend to overprice everything, and people line up 2-3 hrs AHEAD of the opening. I tend to stick with yard sales and thrift stores because of it. NIce work as usual Anthony!
Froggy, I have a friend who’s father has an entire collection of original GI joes from the 1980s, im talking a huge collection of vintage figures with all their equipment and gear. I can’t remember if he has any sealed ones but he has like 2-3 bins, all neatly arrange, some are in bags with their gear and guns, he has the space ship, the attack ship and a bunch of other vehicle’s and add ons. He had them since he was a kid and he’s in his 60s and took amazing care of them. If you’re interested I can try to arrange a meet up. Only thing is we are located in NY, if you’re willing to make the trip. But o think you’ll definitely be impressed with what he has
Hey Anthony! Super nice to meet you out in the wild. I figured I would eventually. I have been reselling for a year now and have learned so much from you and other on youtube. Its the best job Ive ever had! I loved the nice shout out on the video too! I know Kevin would be proud of you on this haul. I should have body slammed you "cabbage patch style" to get that sealed Field of Dreams!!! But you were too damn nice! @commonwealthpicker aint wrong about those VHS! Even watching this video, I learned some new things! I greatly appreciate that!! See ya on the hunt!
Hahaha! So nice to meet ya, man. I’m so glad I got your reaction on that Atari system…I was so close to buying it and that literally talked me out of it. I would’ve hated myself 😂. Cheers buddy!
Awesome buy! The market on G.I.Joe is phenomenal! Most all retro games that are sealed will flip! The frog hat is cool! Love the comics! Good Job! Thanks!
Hey, I just started a “company” with my dad reselling, after about 2 weeks we’ve made $250 and our goal is $509 to buy a storage locker… I’m very new to this and so is he but stumbling upon your videos kickstarted me into starting this so thank you:) it’s been a lot of fun so far:)
🐸 I love that you're doing quite a bit with vintage Barbie tape items awesome 🐸🐸🐸 you can always message me for help anytime!!! Love your show the best 💐
Nice I totally forgot about those 1980s Walt Disney white cases for Disney VHS films .,they are very durable 👍👍 U should maybe price the Nintendo sealed Paperboy game at $450 🤔 IDK I'm not a seller just a kid from the 80s
Estate sales make me nervous too. That said, I was just at one this weekend and scored a $300 film camera for $15. Amazing find. Just waiting for my film to reach the developer so I can be sure it's functional, but all other functions of the camera work perfectly and it looks almost brand new.
I WAS AT THAT SALE THE FIRST DAY! The prices on the cookbooks were at little too stiff for me. I thought it was a little insane that they priced every little thing.
Awesome video brother. I see you have that I love Frogs hat on your shelf already. Must be a keeper. Perhaps you might wear it in an upcoming video. Thank again for the fine lesson. Stay well brother.
Going d to see you again I miss seeing youalls little boy he is so funny. Did you all get the stuff I sent for your eBay. I wonted to support you all hope the kids liked there toys.it was post to be there this past sat. I worry about the mail it was not much but I thank it will make you all a little money 💰
Audie Murphy is legit one of the baddest men that have ever walked this planet!!every single American should know his name and his story and if you don't I urge you to look him up and spend a few minutes reading about this man's life
I have that exact McDonald's promo Field of Dreams sealed! When I ran comps last week it was selling for about $8-$12. I'm definitely going to have to check again since I decided to finally start reselling again! I also found The Adam's Family sealed McDonald's promo. Looks like people have been hoarding VHS for 20 years & just decided to donate it across the US 😆
Estate sales can be over priced. They can also be terrific. The one you went to , it's clear that the Barbie dolls that this woman was selling were in great shape and she put a lot of effort into making sure that they had their boxes and that the outfits were complete. The price point was on par with the level of quality and the amount of work that was put into getting those dolls ready for sale.
Roy Benavidez has a crazy medal of honor story. If you type his name into youtube you'll see a video with around 10 million views about him. If thats signed by him or the family that is really awesome.
I remember back in 1993 there was this Garage sale that had all 4 ninja turtles toys they had them like new with all accessories in sandwich bags I had $30 dollars I was a fat kid of 5 years old so bought all 6 toys they had there the rat as well 3 a for each bag so came home happy I was a happy fat kid with my toys I still have those 6 toys in good condition.
Lol! We were in a Cabbage Patch riots back in the day! Omg 😳 it was crazy. People punching people, grabbing their dolls. Omg ! But you know Santa 🎅🏻 had to come through!😊
Man those are the best condition Skipper and Scooter I've ever seen! Very nice find and worth every penny! That is something you might consider grading!
I had a similar skipper, try rolling her arm forward and see if her chest grows( mine was puberty skipper) and roll her arm in reverse to reduce (same clothing)
