 sold for $3,399 free shipping, less than 12 hours after listing. I found these at an estate sale for $15 and sold them for $1,225. $15 into $1,225. I mean that's not a Bolo, right? Hey, Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. All right, we are gonna talk about big money Bolo's items that you can pick up cheap and sell for a profit. Do you know that people do this full-time? If you don't, it is definitely possible. I am a full-time reseller. This is what I do. I buy stuff cheap and sell it online, but in this video, I am gonna share with you sold items from other resellers from my Bolo buddies Facebook group, which looks like this. If you're not in it, definitely go join. It is in my link tree down below. You can click on that and it's gonna show you all of my links to include my Facebook groups, Instagram, all of that stuff. But in this video, I'm gonna tell you where they got it, what they paid for it, and what it sold for. And this first item is a Build-A-Bear. So how many of you see Build-A-Bear all the time and you walk right past them? Well, let me tell you, some of them sell for big money. I have a video that looks like this and I talk about Build-A-Bear. One thing that I learned when I was doing this video is that a lot of times Build-A-Bear sell for more on Mercari. So if you are an avid Build-A-Bear reseller, definitely get on Mercari. I have a link down below. If you use that link to join, you're gonna get $10 to shop. You're gonna get another $20 to shop when you sell $100 worth of stuff. But this video right here, I mean, I was like, I couldn't believe it. I just could not believe it. So I know that things that are saturated on eBay do better on other platforms from time to time. But Build-A-Bear is definitely one of them. This one is a Powerpuff Girls Blossom Plush Build-A-Bear that sold for $90. She says, the buyer told me that she had Build-A-Bear Powerpuff Girls sold for 90. I paid only 90 cents. The buyer told me that she already has the plush and bought it to just have the dress. Wow. She bought the doll for the dress. She paid $90 basically for the dress is what I'm hearing. Yesterday, somebody contacted me asking for the buyer's contact because he would like to buy the dress. So if you see the dress somewhere, it is a bolo. Huh. So that's funny. The person buying it only wanted the dress and then somebody reached out to her asking for the buyer's information, which I would never give out. If personally me, I would not, I would not do that. And that person wanted the dress. So the dress is a bolo. I wish I had a close-up of the dress. It looks like it's pink and black there. I pick books up regularly at the bins for 25 cents a piece. I always keep my eye out for Vintage Sweet Valley High. Chapter books. This was a lot of 11 that sold for $55 full asking price plus shipping. Fun and nostalgic bolo. This is what they look like right here. Sweet Valley High bought for $3.95 at a thrift store and sold it for $40 plus shipping. I've had it for about two months, but puppets sell well for me. They have to be in great condition though for me to buy them. I have sold puppets that are not in great condition. So I just say puppets do really well. They range from bread and butter to big money, but I usually pick up about every puppet I see as long as it is a good price. And I just did a video on puppets. So check that out. I'll link it down below. I found this at the Goodwill, paid a dollar, great bolo. It is a Gory Cats Paper Dolls by Edward Gory Trumbador, Trumbador Press. First uncut, $41.40. And this is what it looks like. Paper dolls definitely can be a bolo. I found these at an estate sale for $15 and sold them for $1,225. $15 into $1,225. I mean, that's not a bolo, right? Oh my goodness. They're two inch chrysloid bacillite, bacillite. Oh my goodness, bacillite. Baggam and checkers. I put them on an international auction and minutes I was getting so many offers I actually had to go write in the description that I was not taking offers before people stopped. The offers were around $500. Glad I held out for the bidding more. So, bacillite, definitely, definitely can be a bolo. Jewelry comes in bacillite, but also backgammon, checkers, they can be bacillite. Now, are they common? I would say no. I have found a, what was that game called? I sold a game. I cannot think of what it was called right now. You guys help me out. They're the rectangle tiles. Oh my goodness. It's one of my best bolos ever and I cannot think of what the game was called. But anyway, that game also has them and they're incredible. But if you want to learn how to test if something is bacillite, I do have a video. Type in bolo buddies bacillite into the YouTube search and that will pull up. You can use something called semi-chrome. I think that's how you say it. It's really cheap. It comes in a bottle. It lasts forever. Okay, it doesn't last forever, but mine does because I don't use it very much. And it's a great way to test and it's really easy. So, check out that video. I love this next one. I found these vintage Playtex Nurser Baby Bottles. My mom used these for my brother. They were 99 cents. I picked up all they had. My total was $9. I looked up comps, saw they were selling high. I put them on eBay for 160 plus shipping and they sold in about a month and they sold for full asking price. This is what they look like. How awesome is that? Hi, Courtney. I watch your YouTube channel faithfully and I wanted to post a first time bolo. I found this at the Goodwill Benz for $1.70. I listed it for $89.99 plus shipping and it sold the same day for my full asking price. The buyer was all in for $106.57. Next time I will do what you recommend and start it out at an auction first and list it even higher. I was okay with my profit though and so thankful. I'm hoping for many more. This is what it looks like. It is a Go Games Tan Brown Plush Floppy Stuffed Wolf Realistic Animal Collectible. So really awesome bolo. But yeah, I definitely, if you can't find any like it, start it at an auction and start it high because you just never know. This one comes from bolo buddies member the Kitchy Kansen and she said, I bought this lamp lantern at a garage sale for $5 and I listed it for $50. Three days after listing I took a best offer of $42.50. Gotta love garage sale season. Thank you, Courtney. This is what it looks like. It is a vintage cobalt blue glass globe hurricane light railroad lantern lamp Hong Kong. I love that blue. This one comes from Bolo Buddies member Piece of Scrap on YouTube and this is her YouTube channel. So you're hearing me say Bolo Buddies member. That means they have joined Bolo Buddies memberships on this channel for perks. Level 2 and up gets you a pop up if either your YouTube channel or your eBay store and it is also linked down in the description. If that is something that interests you, you can join Bolo Buddies memberships. If not, no worries. My channel is completely free. Memberships is for perks. So Piece of Scrap. Check her out. She's linked down below. She has an awesome YouTube channel. She sells a lot of clothes and you guys don't get that from me. Clothes and shoes. So sub her up for some different type of content. She paid $3.75 at the Goodwill and sold it for $60.04 plus $7 shipping. It is a Nike Team MLB Major League Baseball. Yeah, it was baseball. 2X Chicago White Sox Black Windbreaker and I think that's an eBay sale. Be on the lookout for this small Squishmallow Panda with Hearts. I found this one at the Goodwill Benz. It's only five inches tall. So it must have cost less than a dollar. Turns out it is super rare addition in high demand with collectors. Sold even without its tags for $185 plus shipping in three days. Wow. The buyer was very happy and said it was a college graduation present to herself. Look at him. He's from 2022. He's not even like super old. He's just probably one of those that is maybe discontinued. Hug Mies. He's only five inches, $185. Incredible. Bolo Buddies member, the Kitchie Kansen, bought this. It is, she bought five Bratz dolls for $3 each at a garage sale. Listed them, listed all, but this one for $25. Found high sold comps on this one. So listed it for $100 and then within less than a week it sold for full price. Wow. So this one is called Express It Rena Doll Rare Freckles Blonde Hair Green Eyes 2001. So you can use Google Lens to figure out which doll is what. It's really, really helpful. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but Google Lens is free and I recommend it for every reseller. I do have a video of how it works and how to use it. So check that out. It is a free reseller resource. Okay. Pick this up at a garage sale for $500. They paid 500. Woo. Did a ton of research on the item and after contacting the owner of the National Lunchbox Museum in Georgia, I was confident that it was real. Listed it high at $4,799.99 and had three offers by morning. Sold for $3,399 free shipping. Less than 12 hours after listing. Find of a lifetime. But you know what? He paid $500 for it, but he did his research and this is what it looks like. Toppy the Elephant 10 Lunchbox Original 1957 Lunchbox Rare Kroger Promotion. Wow. I would have looked at that at a garage sale and been like $500. What? I wouldn't even have looked twice. I wouldn't have looked it up. I wouldn't have researched it. I definitely would not have called a museum. So props to this guy for doing his research and making a huge profit. That is incredible. I bought these belt buckles at a yard at a yardage. I'm guessing that's a yard sale for $2 each. I sold one for asking price of $110 and the other gorgeous for a best offer of $55 to the same buyer of the other belt buckle. They are Pacifica. Yep. I've sold these. I actually have a video on these. I got a bunch of these at a garage sales also and I've done really well. This one's 1976 Pacifica Peter Frampton sold for $55 and the other one is Rare Genuine 1975 Pacifica Rolling Stones and that one sold for $110. These are typically belt buckles with bands on them. Like rock bands. This one comes from Bolo Buddies member childhood finds and this is her YouTube channel. Definitely check her out. She has great Bolo's and a great YouTube channel. She said I picked up this board game for a dollar at a garage sale last year and finally got around to counting the hundreds of pieces. It's sold within a week of listing for full asking of $109.95. It is Napoleon in Europe Epic Strategy Board Game Soldiers 2002 Eagle Games No Dice. So I thought it was a puzzle but it's a board game. Wow. Yeah. Counting the pieces is no fun but when it's worth a hundred bucks it's kind of worth it. This one comes from Bolo Buddies member Dolo Deals. She said so I always pick up old cookbooks at local bends for 15 each. 15 cents each. On this particular day I found a trashed antique cookbook that was missing several pages. The cover was hanging on by a thread. I searched for the missing pages to no avail, listed it and sold it within a week for $51. My eBay and Etsy store are both Dolo deals. I find better luck selling antique books on Etsy. So the thing is trashed. She paid 15 cents for it and sold it for $50.99 on Etsy. You gotta love that. Antique modern home cookbook with helps and hints for the household 1890s to early 1900s. This is my best sale to date. My husband came sourcing with me which he usually he usually does or usually doesn't. I'm not sure. Let's see which he doesn't. Oh I read it wrong. My husband came sourcing with me which he doesn't usually do. He found a tote full of Star Trek stuff for $40 at Desert Industries. It was taped up so we couldn't see much of what was in there but we took a chance. I just sold this lot of figures for $575. I've sold all but one Starship to the tune of about $800 so far. Not bad for a $40 chance. This lot sold on eBay. This is what it looks like. So it says Star Trek, TOS, TNG, Enterprise Art, Asylum, Diamond Select Action Figure Lot. Nice. I wanted to give this time in case there was a problem since the books were moldy. No issues so far so far anyway. Paid 69 cents at the Goodwill outlet. So I'm not sure if they smelled moldy or if they physically had mold on them. Do you guys sell things that have mold on them because I have a tendency to not do that because I'm afraid somebody would have like a mold allergy or something like that but stuff that just smells moldy like it's been in a damp basement. I have sold items like that but I have a tendency to also usually just stay away from that stuff. So this could be a good learning experience for everyone. Let me know down in the comments what you guys do if something smells moldy like do you have a tip or a trick to make it not smell moldy. If it has mold on it do you list it? If you have a mold allergy what are your thoughts on this? I mean we could go all kinds of places with the mold issue but it is a 1990 Microsoft QuickBooks still sealed new three books have mold. So if it's still sealed what I'm guessing is the person is probably buying this going to throw away the packaging pull the stuff out of the sealed stuff and it's going to be completely fine. So yeah I'd love you guys's feedback down in the comments it looks like it sold for $149.99. Paid $1.25 at a thrift store when all their stuff was marked down to 75% off after Christmas. They had tons of ornaments since they had most priced at $5 or $10. I bought a bunch of ornaments most were bread and butter only three of these have been on ebay in the last year none currently so I priced double what the last one sold for and took a best offer of 80. Yes I like your thinking it is a 1992 through 1994 insco treasury a child's Christmas books baby mouse ornament and this is what it looks like yes price it high guys keep those comps high while this is a bread and butter it is just a sponge for a certain cleaning system bought at the Goodwill outlet so probably 25 cents or less can you believe $25 for a smiling sponge it is a scrub daddy daisy dishwasher or wait dish wand system sunflower replacement head so I have a funny story about this I picked one of these up at the Goodwill bins outlet also but mine was not I don't know if it's the same brand I think it is but it was not in the packaging and something just told me you need to keep this and I will tell you it is amazing for spot cleaning like plush and stuff like that because I don't know if this is the same type that I'm showing you but mine is soft on one side and it has a scrubby on the other side so I can really like scrub those plush and get those spots off it is amazing and a lot of times I'll do that and then throw it in the washing machine but you want to get that stain off first and that scrubby side really works great so there's a little tip if you ever see one of these keep it oh boy let me start by saying thank you for all you do for the reseller community I'm new to reselling just started in in November I clean out abandoned storage units for inventory and without the things I'd learned from watching you and other YouTubers I would have thrown away so much money I would like to share my best Bolo to date thank you for watching and I appreciate the shout out very much she said I found these Birkenstock sandals in a box of actual garbage in a unit I was cleaning out I thought they would be worth saving because of the brand and they were in decent condition boy was I surprised when I looked up comps and saw similar sandals selling for 150 to 250 however all of the sold comps and currently listed sandals and this style were brown and mine were black I searched Terapecan found only one black pair that sold for 280 free shipping I figured black must be rare so I priced mine at what I thought was high at 299.99 plus shipping they were listed for five days and had over 60 views and 11 watchers all of whom I sent offers of 269.992 I woke up Sunday morning to Cha-ching and it sold for full asking price of 299.99 the buyer was all in for 347 who 300 for 30 year old use sandals I am still amazed wondering now if I should have auctioned them but still super happy with what I got especially because they were so close to ending up in the dump want to look for Birkenstock's women's slides with flower cut out brown or good but black or better the flower cut out style with a strap on the back seemed to do pretty good and this is what they look like and she is calling them Birkenstock's and they're Doc Martens when I saw the picture I'm like I don't think those are Birkenstock's she's got it right in the title they're Doc Martens you guys and yes vintage Doc Martens definitely do well and oh my goodness they're a size six that is a super hard size to sell so if these would have been a bigger size she probably could have gotten even more so but Birkenstock's are a bolo also but Doc Martens if you find the old ones they can do really well bought this old wood carving wall art at an antique mall for five dollars everything there was so expensive so was surprised at the price I thought it looked like the Madonna and mentioned that in the title but misspelled it still sold on auction for a hundred and thirty
