[nostalgicmalcontent]

This sucks, I have an eye for collectibles and antiques, but no spending capital. I have a few items I could sell to get some cash, I will make a vid and show my finds. I once found a Photo-Electric Football game at a yard sale, paid a buck, sold for 30, (I should have sat on that one, it was dated 1942). Maybve you can give me some advice on the stuff I have.

The first sale you forgot to grab all the real gold and silver jewelry.

If you would have found a few pieces or one big piece of gold jewelry then you could have thrown all the other stuff you got at the sale into the garbage and still would be ahead on the gold alone.

i just hit up my first estate sale and picked up 5 peices of 14kt gold (1 bracelet + 4 chains one with a charm) for $130 then drove down the street to the pawn shop and they offered me 230 for everything. i kept it and put it on CL and i am selling just one of the chains for 175 tomorrow. it ended up being a total of 13 grams. so now i am going to another sale tomorrow, 2 on thursday, 2-4 on friday, its a lot of fun and cant wait to see what i find

Sure enough, it is a k1000. I typed my comment too soon. Nice finds.

[ELHIEGER1]

Looked like a Pentax K1000 was there. So why do you suppose more people don't do this, in some way, shape, or form?

This is one of my favorite channels already ....where do you sell the most goods on ebay or craigslist...???

[Theredneckpicker]

@bowhunter2439 Good question...lots of variables on that one..depends on SIZE and how fast will it sell, how desirable it is...etc...i would say it's about 50/50 for me...usually my CL are back on CL next day or a little later depending on market saturation..same with ebay...other little science experiments with that too!

Those old pin up photos go easy on eBay. Nice find.

[Theredneckpicker]
