Now, here's what we're gonna do. There's your button, almost a $500 button. Let's go into sellers other items. And you're gonna see here, they have 89 items available. And they are on auction. You can see this one's only at $1.40. So they start their auctions, it looks like at maybe $1.40. And let's look at, can we sort by highest, highest first? Is that a button? I don't know if that's a button or not. Maybe it is a button. Cause I think everything in here is buttons. So you can see right now, this one has 18 bids. It has a day left. So lots of really, really fantastic buttons. But you can see a lot of these are bread and butter. So a lot of buttons are gonna be bread and butter. Let's go into the solds and let's sort low to high. Is it gonna work? Hello? Hello? Let's try that again. Go down to sold. And I am highest to lowest. So I'm just gonna scroll through here. And I showcased most of these, but I just want you to see that there are some that I did not showcase, but I stopped at a certain point. And if you keep going, you are gonna see more. Like look at this one, bubblegum pink. $150 for that button. These grapes, there's a lot of these that I did not show you that are over $100. So go in, check out the keywords. Just an incredible way to learn. This seller has amazing stuff. So if you are a button collector, I highly recommend that you go and check out their store. I'm gonna show you that here in a minute. But look at all these amazing buttons. Buttons, buttons, buttons. And it sounds like they start all of their buttons at like that $1.40 range. That's basically what I'm seeing. Don't quote me on that. You'll have to check. But look, these are still in the $70 to $80 range. Now let's go back up here and let's search, let's search low to high. Cause they did do auctions. So they are taking a risk, but there's over a thousand solds. But look at this. I mean, you just don't know. This button is beautiful and it went for $1.40. So what they are doing is they are building a clientele of button collectors. People that are coming back because they know they're gonna start the auctions low, they know they may be able to find a really, really awesome deal. And some of these are just going for $1.40. Look at them all. But the other ones go for so much more. And that's kind of like what, what not is, you know? You start your items low and you hope that the right buyers are there. And if they're not, sometimes your items go for way less than they're worth. I mean, Amber and Black Tiger Stripe, that's beautiful, $1.40. But yeah, I mean, these buttons are awesome. Really, really awesome. So many, many, many go for $1.40. So not all buttons are created equal. And maybe these are only worth $1.40. But I'm thinking if they started it on auction, that they are just willing to take that chance and know that sometimes when you start your auctions low, you get people bidding, like a bidding war. But sometimes when you start your auctions low, you lose out on money. So let's look at their store here. It is, I'm hunt hunters. I'm gonna say that's hunters antiques. So definitely go and check them out. You can save them as a seller. You'll get updates when they post new buttons. But it looks like it is buttons, buttons and more buttons. So go give them a follow.
