Somebody turned in a bunch of never worn 1980's era MLB trucker/snapbacks at Goodwill. Picked them all up for $.99 ea. along with a lightly worn pair of DADA Cdubbs in Lakers colors.

thanks guys, I'm not sure how to proceed with that stick?
Any Suggestions, I'm gonna get it authenticated Autograph wise but how do i authenticate if it was team issued or game used?

[ChicagoCubsWS]

With his name stamped like that - looks game issued stick to me. Pair that with the use shown and tape I think you have a good chance it was used.

[shrevecity]

Another opportunity came to me, was offered a "job" to help one of the local estate sale companies to do their videos and photos for their website. So I get to see the items early and I have the choice either 75.00 per sale cash or 100.00 in credit per sale. They average 2 sales a week. The work will take me about 3 or 4 hours per sale. Most sales will likely take the cash, but some weeks could worth taking the credit.

Why isn't this on page one bump.....

[Hess687]

Sold 30 items since last Wednesday. I only know this because I was out of town for the holidays and had to package them all up tonight for the post office tomorrow. Took forever, but I'm ecstatic with the sales.

Found a bunch of marvel legends build a figure parts at the goodwill outlet. Some of these are quite rare and sell for $10-$20 each. I got $2 in all of them.

Hit 3 estate sales this morning found some decent cassette tapes, a couple of decent vinyl albums. 6 or 7 vintage trucker caps and my 2nd Presidential autograph Decision Points by George W Bush, paid 3.00 for it. Spent about 15 dollars total.

[ChicagoCubsWS]

Got a lot of 60 vintage 80s trucker hats from a sale a few weeks ago...

John Deere, Michelin, Coke, Chicago Sports to name a few...should do well.

Yesterday found some Psychopathic Records shirts/hoodies and 10 Footjoy 2XL Polos at one Goodwill. Spent $70 for everything and should get that alone for the hoodie.

Thats what I love is when you find lots of good items with one that will more than pay for everything. Makes everything else nothing but profit.

Thats the kind of stuff I look for at the outlets, that or parts that are easily removed from larger items.

Vintage The Hobbit board game. Missing rice and two of the little stands for the characters, other than that, all there.

Nice find on the game

[ajlaxmn]

Another not bad vintage board game find, not as good as the hobbit, but not bad. Think I found a niche that Savers doesn’t know #@#@#@#@ about or thrift stores in general. Vintage board games have been very good to me.

Wow really. The Walmart in Rockwall had like 30 of them the last time I went in. Looked them up and there was a few going for $35 shipped so didn't even bother.

I got a little more than that. Appears there has been another wave of them released as there are more today than when I posted them and the prices have come down a bit. They peaked a couple of weeks ago at 65.00.

[RobDerhak]

Yeah but there was this article released...expect the secondary market to be flooded

https://boingboing.net/2018/11/30/ma...ay-buying.html

And...no way in hell he made $2,500 PROFIT after fees

I was shocked Amazon even let me list mine, I mysteriously got ungated for toys over the summer on there so I guess it carried on.

I have watched a lot of his videos and several of them he spins it. Like this one he might have had 2500 in sales BEFORE fees and profit.

What helped me with the profit was I had a 25.00 gift card I won a few days earlier. So had nothing in the 25.00 so paid about 17.00 for both games. I got 49.99 each. The buyer is in the Waco, TX area so shipping will be about 13.00 since its the same zone. Took 5 minutes to list and sold in about 5 hours.
