Video summary

The host of this video shares a detailed breakdown of various unexpected items he sourced from thrift stores, estate sales, Goodwill bins, and flea markets that recently sold on eBay. He begins by showcasing an old-school pencil sharpener found in the heavy bins at Goodwill for just two or three dollars, which eventually sold for $11.90 with shipping paid by the buyer. Another notable find was a working John Deere Old MacDonald push tractor featuring a farmer and animals, acquired from a mystery box at a thrift store and sold via best offer for $12. He also highlights a miniature Easter fireplace table set made of resin that he purchased for only two dollars but successfully listed as a best offer item for $47, demonstrating how small vintage decor pieces can yield significant returns when sourced cheaply. A particularly interesting segment involves the sale of several collectibles and jewelry items with varying degrees of identification certainty. The host sold a 2003 Triceratops Deluxe Dinobot from the Transformers universe for a best offer of $45, though he admits to not remembering exactly where he obtained it. He also discusses a vintage signed sterling silver ring featuring spiny oyster orange stones; despite being unsure about specific markings on the piece during an auction lot purchase, his uncertainty did not hinder its sale at $99. Additionally, he mentions selling a 1974 Avon Queensbury purple necklace set that his husband had brought home for under ten dollars, which fetched nearly seventy-five dollars due to current trends in vintage jewelry collections. The video concludes with the host's most surprising discovery: an item listed as "gold tone" flakes glass heart pendant actually sold for $119 very quickly after he used Google Lens and found comparable listings that claimed the flake material was real gold, even though he could not verify this himself without proper testing equipment. He also shares sales figures for other miscellaneous items like a Thomas & Friends train car with a clown figure selling for over one hundred dollars, vintage Fisher-Price toy parts sold as bulk lots, and specific branded accessories such as Lincoln Logs Cowboys and silver tone hair barrettes bearing the name "Mary." Throughout these examples, he emphasizes that even without full knowledge of an item's origin or exact specifications, strategic listing on platforms like eBay can still result in successful sales driven by buyer curiosity and search behavior.

Hey bolo buddies, thanks for watching. All right, you guys, we're going to talk about my what sold. What sold on eBay? I'm going to tell you where I got it, what I paid for it, and what it sold for. And I was as always, I will have some unexpected items. One item sold for $119. I had no idea what it was, but I did a little Google Lens search, and I'm going to tell you guys what I found out about it. So, let's start here with this first one. It's a pencil sharpener. It's one of those old-school pencil sharpeners. I picked this up at the Goodwill bins. It was kind of heavy, so I probably had $2, maybe three in it. Didn't comp out as high as I'd hoped. I sold it for $11.90, and the buyer paid shipping. This is a John Deere Old MacDonald push tractor with farmer and animals, and it does work. And I got this out of a thrift store mystery box, and I sold it for a best offer of $12. This is a dollhouse miniature Easter fireplace table chairs bunny decor. And I got this from a thrift store for $2, and I took a best offer of 47. And I think it's just like resin. This dinosaur right here, be on the lookout for him. He is from 2003. He's a Transformer formers universe Tricera Don deluxe Dinobot. And I don't know where I got this, but I sold it for a best offer of 45. This one here is a vintage signed 925 sterling silver spiny oyster orange ring. Spiny oyster is very >> [clears throat] >> sought after. And I got this from um Uh it was in a a lot on a local um a local auction. And I think it says is that JS? I don't think I knew for sure what it said. I don't know if this is Native American or not, but um it says JS. It's gorgeous, isn't it? Oh my gosh, it's so pretty. So, it does have or is it SM? I don't know what that is. >> [laughter] >> What do you guys think those letters are? Obviously, I didn't put anything there because I wasn't sure. All right, so I sold this for $99. And I don't know what exactly I have in it because it was a bulk lot. Vintage turtle pendant necklace. I offered this up on my Whatnot show and nobody bought it, so I put it on I think I did. I think I offered this up on Whatnot. Either that or it was left in the tray or I think I offered it on Whatnot. Not 100% sure, but I sold it for $25. Sometimes at the end of my shows I'll pull things that didn't sell or things that are left on the tray and I try to put some things on eBay because I'm really trying to build up my eBay store again. This is a 1974 Avon Queensbury purple necklace pendant and bracelet, and this is one that my husband uh brought home to me. I don't know what he paid for it, but probably $10 or less. And sold it for $74.75. Very, very pretty set and a lot of the Avon stuff is trending. This uh Express jeans. If you guys know the story about the jeans, remember they sat behind me, they were my background. I've had them for probably over 10 years. Finally getting those listed and these sold for 46 and they are selling like hot cakes. I think um it's probably good that I'm just now listing them because I think some of these styles are coming back. This is a vintage St. Michael uh it's a metal here and I do the measurements. Don't need a lot of photos on these. That's what I like. But I sold this for $48.75. It's just like a little pendant or metal. I use both words in my title. Vintage Play School Dollhouse blonde girl sister pink shorts and heart on her shirt. Uh this one does have some discoloration. She does have some damage. She is Play School. It's written on her back here. And I sold her for $16.25. And she probably came in a from a garage sale in a big lot or something like that. Not really sure. I didn't have notes on it. Vintage Fisher-Price Main Street letters set mail pieces and envelopes. And I sold these for $35. And this was something that had been sitting in tote in my um toy totes. And I don't remember where I got it or what I paid for it. Probably the Goodwill bins or a thrift store or a garage sale. Thomas & Friends red coach pass- passenger car now appearing and it's got a clown. Um I put clown in the title cuz some people look for things with clowns. And I sold this train for 1105. Again, probably came with a bunch of toys. Fisher Oh, excuse me. Fisher-Price Little People dollhouse chocolate cookie tray. Sold a bunch of these at my Fisher-Price show um on Whatnot. Did very very well with all the smalls. Uh average usually started them out between three and five and they were selling very very well. But I did not get through the whole tote, so I listed a bunch of stuff on eBay. And I'm realizing how good of deals people got on Whatnot from my show. I sold this for $8.40 and the buyer paid shipping. This one here sold really fast, which surprised me. I got it at an estate sale for a dollar. It's um a pewter brooch and it does have some information on the back. It says Canada Amos pewter. And I don't know what it was, but it flew out of my store. I sold it on a best offer of $30. The next item is a signed Sarah Coventry oval blue floral silver tone ring size 5 and 1/2. It is adjustable and um the gal that bought it was very very happy with it. She left me very nice feedback. I got this at um a flea market for $3 and I sold it for a best offer of 25. Okay, guys. This is a vintage floating gold tone flakes glass heart pendant. Now, when I Google Lens this, there were a bunch that said these flakes are actually real gold, but I had no way to verify that. So, um I just listed it based on comps and put gold tone in the title and it sold for $119 very quickly. So, uh I don't know, maybe it was real gold. Maybe it wasn't. I have no way of knowing. There's no way to test that. >> [laughter] >> You guys ever seen one of these? So, the bubble moves around and it moves the flakes. It's super cool. But they are very popular. Lincoln Logs Cowboys, two of these guys right here, and I sold these for $17.85 and I got them at the Goodwill bins. This here I got at a little uh flea mark not a flea It's like a one of those uh shops that have vendors in them. It's kind of like a flea market, but it's open all the time. And it's a barrette and it said Mary. So, I got a little bundle of things and they all said Mary and I'm like, you know, I'm just going to try it. And I've been trying to list more things with people's names on them because they're very specific. While they take longer to sell, yes, usually, but if you get the right person that's looking for it, they'll usually um pay your price. So, I sold this for $28. It's just a silver tone hair barrette. These are Weiss um AB earrings and they are absolutely gorgeous. I did have them priced pretty high. They took a while to sell. So, when somebody offered me $58, I went ahead and took it. And you got this. It is a weapon, I think, {question mark} attachment toy accessory replacement part. You guys, I have no idea what it goes to, what it is, what brand it is. I had no details. I don't even know why I tried to list this, but I did. Um I got it at the Goodwill Bins, and guess what? I sold it for $7 with no information. I still don't know what it is. But, I'm guessing somebody had the part, part of it was broke, and they probably Google Lensed it, and my listing probably came up. I mean, how else would it sell? How else?
