 Hey, Bolo buddies. Thanks for watching. I have a super exciting video about a Sleeper Bolo a Bolo you may not know about and I'm really really excited to share this with you now I Was researching the item that I had an offer on okay and When I was researching I saw something that I had sold on whatnot and I'm like I know I sold that on what not and One of you may have bought it So Let's get started here and we're gonna talk about it. Oh my goodness big money Bolo brand that you guys Definitely need to be looking for I totally missed it. I'm okay with that because it is a sleeper It is a sleeper. I sold it super cheap Which happens all the time to me on what not because I'm a grab-and-sell kind of girl I'm not looking things up and a lot of resellers are sourcing from me So come on over to what not I have a referral link down below You can get $15 to shop with that and it's a lot of fun Even if you don't want to buy anything just come hang out, but let's talk about this sleeper Bolo. Are you ready? so in my thumbnail I put sleeper for a reason Okay, we're gonna look at the item I sold on eBay first and how I researched it and how I found out about the item I sold on what not so let's get started. This is the item that I sold and It has some condition issues, but this is a super rare item when I say rare I could not find any others like it and I Didn't even know that this was a Martha Sleeper, that's her name. I guess the artist. I didn't know it was a Martha sleeper All right, somebody messaged me on eBay and said you have a Martha sleeper man I'm sorry men from Mars fur clip and I'm like, okay Like what's that mean? So she was on Instagram. So I reached out to her and I looked at her page and I Can't remember if I messaged her or not, but anyway Long story short. I had no idea what I had I just knew that it was really old really interesting and when I did a google image search I could not find anything. So I priced it High at 625 knowing that I would run a sale and it was at 387 50 All right, I'm just going to show you what the back looks like. This is what it said This is it. It did not say Martha sleeper And you can see it's got condition issues, but again super super rare item and I priced it at 387 50. I had an offer for 190 at that point I was like Geez, do I have it like way overpriced and I started doing some research and I am just showing you the pictures here. I used worth point to research and when I was researching I found another Bolo item that I sold on what not and I'm going to show you what that sold for And what it's valued at so stay tuned for that, but let's talk about this one first So I went over to worth point and I typed in Martha sleeper. All right. So this guy he's in pretty rough shape as well and he sold for 295 So I felt like 190 Was a little low for my item And this is the only one I can find even on worth point that is from the men from mars series Now this one is brand new with the original tag. I do believe Yes, original tag and it's in mint condition and went for 275, but that was in 2016 and prices have come up Here it is in poor condition or not as good of condition I mean this one's meant with the tag and it went for 295 in 2022 So I would compare the condition of mine to the condition of this one So I countered at 275 dollars And I felt like that was very fair and they countered at 235 and I was like, you know what? I'm just going to take it. I'm just going to take the offer. So I took an offer of 235 dollars for this brooch. All right. Now, let me show you something really cool This sold May 29th of 2022. You guys know how people sell ephemera? Well, look here. This is a ad flyer And you can see right here I don't even know. I don't see that other one that says men from mars, but this one is definitely mine This guy is crusty and he was two Dollars back in the day. How cool is this? How cool is that? I just love it. So this is by men from mars by martha sleeper So I don't even know if that other one was actually from the men from mars series I don't know if there were only four if this is just a flyer for the four that were out at the time I don't know. But anyway, is that not cool? Super cool. So let's go back here Actually, you know what? I do know this is men from mars because look it's got the tag on it and it says martha sleeper And it says men from mars and you can see it's got the same Marking as mine and that's all the photos. There are unfortunately But isn't that cool? So this one is cassidy fit And it's by martha sleeper right there. How cool is that? Super cool, right? Okay, so now you've learned about that now. I'm going to show you how I discovered Another bolo. Are you ready? So I kind of went in and I was like, I'm just going to research marsha I'm sorry martha sleeper on Ebay, so I looked into it and these are just some of the other things that sell for big money But she specializes in bakelite and there's mine But look at this brooch. Okay, remember this you guys remember it 350 best offer on january 4th of 2024 Just remember it. All right Here is This owl. All right Do you see it? Do you see the hole? Do you see the shape? Okay, remember it But just kind of look here at some of her items her main. Oh my goodness 157 wait before it guys just wait Oh my goodness Wow Wow, wow Okay, let's go in Let's go to active. I my my wheels are turned in now that i'm seeing The prices on those I want to see what's active right now. So we are still under highest first So this one's at 525 All right, let's see if there's any others here I'm just looking looking looking martha sleeper's what I have in Because sometimes you can source on the other platforms This one's got four bids right now. So they're doing an auction on that one Okay, so that looks like it the rest of it is whatever this stuff is Um, okay, so we looked there now. Let's go over here. I'm on worth point. Look you guys the bird brooch In 2018 it says $1,800 now. I can't verify that this was actually paid for This guy is a dough boy pin soldier dough boy. It says Um, these are all Bakelite. Here's the birds again 1695 and 2013 I just can't believe the value would go down so much So here is where worth point comes in handy if the people that sold these over here Let me find it again Let's see right here 350 And they took a best offer 157. I mean, that's all the market They they put it on an auction But if they would have looked on worth point I mean, they knew it was martha sleeper if they would have looked at worth point They would have seen These sold prices I mean, that's the same one, right Let me see. Is that the same one? Okay, actually look It looks like the birds are facing a different direction. So I don't know if that matters Let's see that other one that was 350 now. These are facing this way, but there's only three So maybe there's some that are different Okay, so let's go back to researching I'm researching with you guys right now Uh, so we've got these are some of the ones to look for. Okay. Here's a three one. That looks like the one 1035 But lots 862 on this one, but it looks like they're all a little different probably because they're all custom made, right? 325 on that or 725 on that one Let me see. Let's type in birds and get more specific here All right. So here we go. There's 21 So here are your prices 862 725 550 495 468 and 2022 440 and 2023 200 and 2023 So, yeah, I'm going to say these people sold these major and they have kind of brought the price down but see this was 2011 133 And then back up here is 157. So the dates are all kind of mixed up Wow, that is incredible. All right, so let's look here Um, I typed in Martha's sleeper necklace and this one is the highest priced. It's called uh matches with cigarettes $1,800 this one is a school days $850 799 for another school days. How many of you would have looked at this twice? I mean you might have because it's pretty cool, but Wow, this one's nautical and This one is a mixture of pins another school days 500 range on these. So definitely be on the lookout. Also keep in mind The little charms because you may find one of these charms that is not connected To the necklace and you could sell that as a replacement All right, look at that one. That's on um, like a rope or whatever 395 Okay, so let's go on To my video and I found the video where I got the owls and I'm just gonna play this for you guys Those If you want to see the whole video and how the lamp turned out, this is the video you want to go to It's called crafting with vintage owl brooches Big money bolo how to pack and ship do it yourself brooch collection Did I use them all or did I save some for my whatnot show? Oh, I may have saved a few for my whatnot show. Do you guys want to see what I have left? So here is just a small preview of some of the owls that I will eventually be bringing to whatnot I don't know when um, this one here is like a little trinket. So I couldn't really use that on the lamp This one is also a trinket. It's so beautiful. This one was awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Now this guy right here Look how fun he is. He's uh, he has a hole So you could probably put a chain through it and wear it as a necklace And you know, I thought it was like newer, but the pin definitely looks older and the pin is built into the owl Does anybody know who this owl is? It's pretty cool I kind of think he's adorable I might have to make another lamp. That's what I felt like leaving somebody. Oh, is it poo? Really? Well, it's definitely um, it's not signed or anything, but it's definitely old Maybe there was a sticker on it at one time Or maybe it was signed on the necklace. Maybe I hooked to a necklace I don't know you guys might want to google inside Why is potato chip out? I don't know. I didn't I didn't look any of these up. So all right, we're gonna run it It is pretty awesome 10 second sun death. We're running. Who wants the owl? Who who wants it? Let's see. Thank you for your bids. Thank you and lisa got it. Thank you lisa. Thank you so much You guys give lisa a follow. She has a beautiful jewelry. I have bought from her on multiple occasions for $12 Um, I just messaged lisa and I said do you still have this owl? So this is lisa's source over on whatnot. She may have known what it was. She's pretty good with jewelry But maybe not she may have resold it on whatnot I have no idea. But anyway, go give lisa source a follow. You can see it below. She does jewelry She's got a dvd show coming up. It looks like um amazon fulfillment And i'm not sure they all have the same thumbnail. So jewelry starts two dollars, but she's fantastic. All right, so let's look at on worth point You guys and if you don't have worth point, this is where worth point is worth it. Okay Um, it's just a great great tool. It's kind of pricey. I tell you guys that all the time I do have videos that show you how it has paid off for me having worth point because I waited a long time to get it And there uh, if you just type in worth point bolo buddies, I can give you other examples besides this But this was what I saw when I was researching this guy. All right I came across this and i'm like, I know that that shape because I remember thinking This looks like a disney character. You know what I mean? But right here you see the hole remember how I said, oh, it has a hole in it And it is the exact same mold but mine is painted So this one says it sold in november 27th of 2023 for 350 dollars Now and it says painted butterscotch Let's scroll down and look the eyes. I mean, it's yeah, okay. So we're going to scroll down until we see another one Martha sleeper bakelite owl. Now this one is painted and looks more like mine disney series it says sold for 225 We're going to keep scrolling and this is kind of the same owl but a different mold or a different shape And she must have used some sort of mold and then painted them. I would say This one looks more like mine. It sold for 195 like the colors the white Where she painted it 150 on this one in 2005 Here's the same mold as mine 2021 150 127 50 so Oh, look at this one Prices are kind of all over the place, but anywhere from 100 to 350 dollars I would say that this owl is probably worth. I would probably price it on the high end Okay, let's see if there's anything available as far as owls go on ebay right now It looks like you've got three and none of them look like the one I sold so if I was lisa source I would put this on ebay and price it really high and you can see here this one. Okay, let's see what this actually sold for Let's type in the title exactly And you guys I talked about worth point before I do have a referral link down below So, um, if you guys use my referral links, I always appreciate that. Thank you so much in advance. I know a lot of you do I'm going to type this in so it looks like they took a best offer of 285 Okay, so terra peak is a free research tool on ebay, but it does not go back as far But you can see best offers what the best offer was for so 285 on that one All right, you guys what do you think? Oh Crazy, right? I had no idea and a lot of times in my grab and sell videos like I'm doing on tanglings It's unsearched. I I'm not looking stuff up. So you can get some deals Uh, I as you know, don't know a lot about jewelry if you watch any of my whatnot shows you're gonna see Definitely not a jewelry expert. I do try to learn and I've learned a lot from selling on whatnot, but um come over Hang out at one of my shows Again, like I said, even if you don't buy just come hang out in the chat.
