Garage Sale Hunting! Tips, Hints and Advice

[duane1969]

Just found my first Ms.Pac-man plug & play today, thanks for posting that link, I would have probably passed on it before seeing it was selling for 15-20 it was abit pricey ($4) but still a decent profit

Hopefully I can find a few more this season

Oh! I have one of those. Had no idea they were worth anything. I always considered them a cheap knockoff.

Last year a friend bought a cedar chest for $15 that had 320 cassette tapes. He didn't want them so I snagged them. They were mostly original cassettes and in their boxes with maybe only 20-30 that were copies or not in cases. I listed them on eBay and got $65 plus shipping.

I'm not sure if I'd buy another lot of bulk cassettes, but you never know.

Cassettes of the big metal bands usually do ok, (Zeppelin, Metallica, Slayer, etc.), if you find them cheap you can make a few bucks off each one (4 - 5$), so not a bad deal if you can grab them for 0.50$ each

Some Metal & Rap demo tapes sell for good $ ($200-300+) but they're super hard to find..

Found a pretty darn good record yesterday, an original 1st UK pressing on Vertigo of Jade Warrior's Released :

you can see what it's been selling for on eBay here :

I'll enjoy it for a few months before I sell it though :)

also beign a former wwe collector, most hasbro figures arent worth much at all,maybe 1-3$ depending on who they are. the valuable ones are still in boxes ect.

the big rubber ljns are worth more but they have to be in great shape. average are 10$
