Garage Sale Hunting! Tips, Hints and Advice

[Soldan]

I recently was at an auction and won half of a table for $8. My goal was stack of 80's comics and some original opened Thundercats. Bu twith the pils came a few dvd's and then a few spindles of burned DVD-r's. SOme tv shows and a ton of movies not sure how to move these as many of the Yahoo trading groups have faded and the Bay is SUPER COP STRICT on "ahem" burned materials. Any suggestions

You might be stuck with them. When I'm clearing storage lockers from auctions I pretty much toss any burned DVD. Not worth the risk of what might be on them (don't wanna get busted for CP from a locker buy).

No I would not get id of them without checking them which I ran through a spindle it is what they say they are. But they might be heading to the trash bin

Picked up 13 boxes of books at the High School Band rummage sale for like 15 bucks. After one box of sorting, there's 300 bucks of product listed on Amazon, and a ton of Thomas stuff for my nephew.

I dunno. They're full of words and aren't stats. :)

This bunch is mostly classroom sets of youth novels. They sell pretty good.

LOL silly of course I meant the covers. Always good to see what sells and what don't. Guess it depends on the area.

OH! Sorry, my buddies always made fun of me cause I don't read fast but (when I watched baseball religiously) could recite stats like some people recite bible verses., so I forgot I wasn't talking to them and went with a stock answer...

With Amazon, believe it or not, it's all over the board. Avoid best sellers like the plague. Weird shortruns are your friend. Believe it or not, I've made the most money on school books from the 80s and earlier.

For some reason I have always done well with Yearbooks. Folks must collect them for some reason.

I don't know. I know sites like "Yearbook dot com" or soemthing like that have tried archiving them all. It's weird what people collect. (says the guy who collects signed pieces of cardboard.)
