 Hey, hello, buddies. Thanks for watching. Okay. This video was Recreate well requested by a subscriber They asked me to do a video on puzzles because puzzles are hot hot hot right now Now the one thing about puzzles is is they're hot right now because everybody's on lockdown so more people are selling them more people are buying them and Probably the prices are a little higher than normal not a hundred percent sure, but there are Three types of puzzles to look for that I found from my research that I'm gonna share with you Amazing amazing amazing and if you can find them you are gonna be in the money So I'm gonna start with some recent solds kind of show you guys what's going on with the economy being the way it is And then we're gonna go into those big money ones so that you guys know what to look for when you're out thrifting garage sailing What's the other place thrift stores garage sales of state sales state sales is a good one All right, let's get started so Like I said right now puzzles are hot and that's why the person probably requested this, but I'm just gonna show you some recent solds right now auctions 13,366 results. Let's look at buy it now 94 thousand two hundred and fifty five results. So yeah puzzles are hopping right now I Want to go in and just show you some of the solds These are recently ended and I like to look at auctions because I like to see how many bids they got So this one one bid, but that's a whole bunch of puzzles So you can see a lot of them are still going cheap this one went for 200 to 27 37 152 I'm guessing people that have some of the high dollar ones are probably choosing to sell them right now because they're Gonna get probably high top dollar for them Serial boxes this one's cool a thousand piece puzzle. It is sealed sold for 72 this Disney Excuse me sold for 43 51 This one 10. I mean they're kind of all over the place But you can see there's a lot of 30s 40s 50s, but there's also a lot of low ones From looking at this my recommendation would be to do Look at comps and price your item accordingly price. It may be a little bit high Like maybe find the highest sold and price it just a little above that and then put best offer on it So that you have some wiggle room to negotiate with people or you can run a sale So yeah Puzzles are crazy crazy crazy right now people are doing lots of puzzles I mean you can only watch so much TV and YouTube right all right. Let's look at a little a few more and Like see this only went for $1.99 Which is a bummer if they would have listed that at it's a lot of eight puzzles They would have listed that at $25 for best offer plus shipping. They probably would have still sold it I don't know why it went so low I don't know So that's my recommendation you guys do your research and do it however you want But you can see some of these people probably thought they were gonna get a lot of money for their item and they went for ten bucks so All right, let's look at the big money puzzles the first brand you want to look for is stave Sta ve and they come in a solid box Here's what it's got here. So it says frog prints and says Crafted by Diana. So I'm pretty sure that these are all Hand made and look at the the detail of these puzzles. They're wooden puzzles and they are They're amazing. That's all I have to say is amazing. So I don't know $910 and it's used 345 pieces Here's another stave this one went for 880 it only had one bid, but there's what it looks like Here's another stave and it says stave across the front. So I'm wondering if this is actually the company that has This might be the company store. I'm not really sure But that one was from 2003 this one looks like maybe it says Is it 2010? Let's see other items, but that one sold for $723. Yeah, they that's all they have and they have two of them So let's look at their souls Yeah, I mean crazy Crazy crazy Here's another one this one. Yeah, it's the same the same seller. So I wonder if No longer available on the stave website from 1999. I don't know I was wondering if like maybe the person Was affiliated with stave or maybe they were a collector because that's all they have on their store But yeah, how cool are the pieces? That one's really neat it's like dimensional This one sold for 660 and again, it says stave across it. It's what do you call that a watermark or maybe It's a stock photo from The website maybe maybe that's what it is not really sure but this is from 2015 You can just see it's beautiful. I mean, it's just amazing. So this was crafted by is that Becky and same store So either somebody is affiliated with stave or this is Somebody from that company or this is a collector that is selling off their Their pieces this one's from 2006 Sold for six hundred and fifty eight dollars Now Liberty wooden puzzles are the other ones to be on the lookout for and you can see they're the wooden pieces.
