$2 Estate Find Sells on ebay for $239 Reseller Share What Sold Big Money BOLOs
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
This video highlights a collection of unexpected "Bolo" items—objects found at estate sales, yard sales, or thrift stores that sold for significantly higher prices than their purchase cost. The host shares stories from members of their Facebook group, showcasing how ordinary finds like a $2 Agnes Brush plush toy sold for nearly $240 and a Disney Pixar Carl Fredricksen stuffed animal bought for $5 fetched over $40 with shipping. These examples illustrate the thrill of discovering hidden value in items that sellers often undervalue or are unaware of their worth, emphasizing the importance of research to identify brands and character origins even when tags are missing.
The presentation continues with a diverse array of successful resales, ranging from a 1983 hippo bought for a dollar at a yard sale to a Neopets code acquired for 99 cents that sold for $45. Other notable finds include a vintage Polly Pocket Cinderella castle purchased for $20 and sold in three days for nearly $120, as well as various baby blankets and wallets from the 1990s that generated steady income. The host also features unique collectibles like a Fisher-Price jewel tray hunt set and a brutalist copper bib, demonstrating that even items without clear tags or with questionable paint finishes can attract quick buyers if listed at the right price point.
Throughout the video, the speaker encourages viewers to join their community to share their own finds, explaining that posting in the Facebook group's main feed is the best way to get featured in future episodes. The host notes that while some items sell instantly due to high demand or saved favorites, others take a few weeks, and pricing strategies vary based on market conditions. By sharing social media handles and eBay store names for successful resellers like Dog Patch Picker, Home Again Goods, and Jolly's Treasure Emporium, the video serves as both an inspiration and a resource for aspiring flippers looking to turn small investments into substantial profits.

Hey bolo buddies, thanks for watching.
All right you guys, we're going to talk
about some big money and unexpected bolo
items that members of my Facebook group
found. If you're not in my bolo buddies
Facebook group, definitely come join it.
It's free to join. We talk about all
things reselling, but like to really
focus on big money bolos. So come join
the group. At the top of the group,
there's a share post. If you share your
bolo, under that post, I will feature it
in a video just like this. The first one
here, I absolutely love this one. It
says, "Super excited to finally have a
high dollar plush to share. I never find
good plush. Paid $2 at an estate sale.
They obviously didn't know what they
had, but I happened upon Agnes Brush.
Agnes Agnes Brush Plush while
researching something else a while back,
and this category stuck in my mind. Sold
for $239.94
in about 2 months. eBay store in
Instagram and Facebook is the dog patch
pitch pit. Oh my goodness. Dog patch
picker. You guys go follow him on
Instagram and Facebook for more um items
that he has sold. But look at this guy.
Isn't this cool? I didn't know about
this bolo. So, I'm very excited about
this. I'm trying to see. Is there a tag?
Look, it's even got like it's got
problems and it's still sold for $2.39.
So, he must have um researched it to
figure out the brand because I don't see
a tag. Good to know. Good to know. All
right, here we go. Disney Pixar Disney
Store Carl Frederickson plush stuffed
toy paid $5 and sold for 40 plus
shipping in three weeks. What movie is
he from?
Oh, the movie Up. Disney Store Up. The

this one here says gunned
1983 hippo. I thought it was a dog. It's
a hippo. Oh, it's so cute. Bought this
for a dollar at a yard sale. It sold in
24 hours. eBay store is home again
goods. So, you always wonder when when
it sells fast, did I sell it too low? Um
I just had something that sold within um
a couple days and I'm like, probably
should have priced that higher. You just
never know. Either that or somebody has
it like saved in their favorites and
they're just waiting for someone to post
it. Neopets YouTube's baby
Aisha is I don't know. Unused code. Huh.
Check it out. Just sold this Neopets. Uh
got it for 99 cents and sold it for 45.
Yeah, some of those Neopets can do
really well. This one is a chosen calico
kitty. It's so cute. Realistic. Yeah,

about a month or so. It was also picked
up the Goodwill bins. Ben is $120. A120

Goodwill for a dollar.
The next one here is Monsters Versus
Aliens Dr. Cockroach. Found this at the
Goodwill bins for about a dollar. I
didn't recognize the character, but it
looked creepy, so I snagged it. It's
from Monsters and Aliens movie and sold
for 43 plus shipping. eBay store is
Source for Good. There you go, guys.
Now, I do have to pop over to um I
started out with the plush, but there
not a lot of you shared a plush this
month. So, what I decided to do was have
no plush video for the next one. So, um
just post your stuffed animals under the
main post. I may go back to it. Uh just
watch the featured section and I'll keep
you guys posted. But there was only
what, seven, eight. All right, the next
one. There were a lot of plush in the
main uh feed though. So uh some I maybe
you guys just prefer to just keep it
under one post. Let me know what you
guys think on that. Vintage Coach penny

beauty during a private pick estate for

said, "I bought this Modern Moments
Gerber baby blanket for $2 at the
Goodwill and sold it in for 13 in less
than a month. Not a lot of money, but it
keeps my algorithm going on eBay." Oh,
that's smart. Yeah. So, she h she sells
a lot of baby blankets. This one is a
Vera Bradley wallet. And just so you
guys know, I found some from I think
they're from the '9s that I just listed.
So, I am curious. They do have watchers
already. Uh there's some oldies, so if
you can find the old stuff, they've got
really good comps. This is more of a
bread and butter, but still. She said
she paid $2 for it. It's a card case,
wallet holder from the Goodwill. Didn't
realize it had the tags inside. Sold for
20. Took less than a month. So, great
breadandbut item. Yeah, especially when
they have the tags. That's always great.

bit. Um I will feature more of her items

that. I'm going to hop ahead here to
