I killed it today. Bought a lot of old vintage clothing as well as some more Pokemon DS games. Bought a loaded tackle box for 4.00. Bought 4 GTA PS3 games for 50 cents each. Last ale I hit was everything left 25 cents and they had a housefull of stuff. Spent 23.00 but should clear over 1000 on it. Best score of the day was a vintage WWF Steve Austin T Shirt for 25 cents should get 200 to 300 for it.

Quick question.....I just sold this item....

https://www.ebay.com/itm/133745959455

This was shipped to me just as you see it in the picture with the shipping label attached to the top. You think it's okay for me to ship out to the buyer like this as well or do I need to go hunting for a box?

Thanks.

It should be ok, but when I run across an item I plan to ship without an extra outer box, I usually mention this in the listing. (I didn't look at your listing. You may have done this.)

I would try to find another box but shipping that way would be ok, I just think it looks better if you double box.

Missed today. My mom tried to wake me up to go but I wasn’t fully conscious and out of it. It’s ok she said we got everything good on Thursday. She went to about 20 sales. Normally I like to go anyway but I guess my brain said otherwise. She didn’t find any video games or anything. Sometimes you just need sleep!

Box 100% of the time, unless you want a higher possibility of it coming back. I never ship stuff out with the original box being the outer shell of the package, but suppose it was disclosed that works. I just wouldn't want to deal with the backlash.

agree, some people enjoy the artwork and box condition etc, esp of old items.

I went to walmart and bought some brown wrapping paper and wrap my already boxed stuff with it. Cheaper, doesnt add weight to the package and "protects" the box.

I dont know much about hats....but know vintage Raiders ones can be valuable. My dad recently passed and these were in his closet. Anything not worth just pricing to sell at a garage sale to get rid of?

Bought someone’s video game
Collection. Priced everything at $12,000. This is with selling the super bowling for $1500. Going to see if I can get $3k+ for it. This game so might sit for a while. Paid $5800 for everything.

I went a local auction they put up a box of old computer stuff. I had noticed there was a HP 41cv in the box early on did not do any other research on the rest of the box, have sold those calculators before so am no stranger to them. I was only bidder at 5.00. Very happy. 2 Calculators and the rest is 4 printers for them some expansion cards and 3 Cassette players for them half still in original box with manuals. I think I did pretty good.

Then bought about a dozen Dale Earnhardt Sr caps from 1997-1999 all NWT for 20.00 On the other stuff I bought spent 80.00 one of the caps should pay for that.

I was referring to the Dale Sr hats. If you need to check your their should be a tag in the inside or embroided on the outside of the hat. I don’t think any of yours were by quick glance.

Picked up a ton of stuff this weekend. The highlights were a box of 9 vintage Mitchell fishing reels and spare parts for $25 and 9 NHL hockey jerseys for $3 each.

Bought a large collection a month or two ago myself. Did very well on it. Wish you luck. Hope there is more than what is pictured though. $5800 looks pretty steep for what’s pictured.

I priced out every single game, he even threw in 50 Xbox 360 games which will just get throw in a lot with the 360 he had. I’ll do $12,000+ sales, and that’s with the super bowling selling for $1500 - $2000. I’m hoping to move it for $3500+. I’ll do fine. He had a lot of rare games.
