Default Buying items from Garage Sales to Resell?

I mainly get my items from garage sales, and flea markets. and resell them at flea markets and swapmeets.

I like to buy clothes, jeans, tshirts, and dress shirts.

I would think these are high risk items to sell on eBbbbbb@y since they are branded. What would you recommend for me to look for to resell on eBBBBa@y that is low risk. What will happen when they ask me for invoices where I get my stuff? Obviously I can't provided that.

I found a few Foodsaver Vacuums for $10 each the other day, that are selling for $80-$100. I still have them. Are these high risk items?

My ebbbbb@y and paaaaa@ypal account are brand new. Just opened them today. stealth of course.

Any tips would be great.

Find my old thread on yard sale and garage sale finds.

I do the antique auctions, yard sales, thrift stores all the time.

Almost daily coming to and from someone I hit several.


I had a sticker on my van many years ago that said

GET OUT OF MY WAY I AM GOING TO A YARD SALE

Many years ago before people thought have stickers was no longer cool.

I have been known to go up to a yard sale and see many good items and ask, other then the clothing and cloth furniture what would you take for everything so you can get out of the sun?

If you know antiques and collectibles it can be.

That is my niche, finding things that thrift stores have no clue what it is.

I have tons around me and I always walked out with bags of stuff.

Found a brass British cargo/ship light at one recently for 9.99.

Early 1900s

Should bring 250-300 easy.

Some have plenty of junk but like the early vintage Bose radio I bought and the antique clock and made into the hundreds, yes look around it is there.
