      ​​​@@jakerazmataz852do you think their time is worthless? Do you have any idea how much time and work goes into sorting, pricing, listing, shipping, disputes... Plus you have to make enough money to cover the time spent at all the garage sales you go to and don't buy anything or possibly lose money at. If both parties are happy it's a good deal, there is zero chance that man was going to spend the time needed to get top dollar for these items.

      @@leeartlee915 that's an exaggeration. It's unfair to categorize ALL resellers in this way. Plus, you forget it's a free market. No one is holding a gun to anyone's head forcing them to sell high-end items at garage sales for way less than they're worth. If someone chooses to do that, it's their choice and their right. There's also no shame in a reseller trying to save themselves some money on a deal, because the seller can always say no! There are many, MANY people out there who are happy to sell items to resellers for less than the items are worth, knowing full well that the resellers are going to try to flip the items for more. It's really not so horrible. ETA: It's also not like the seller asked for $5,000 and the buyer counteroffered $500. Now THAT would be pathetic. Just like when you have a garage sale and you're selling a $30 appliance for $3.00 and someone comes along and says "Would you take $1.00?"

      @@dawnieb.7394 I mean of course I’m exaggerating. All Yankees fans aren’t the worst… but most are. But that little “free market” thing you bandied about, that is the biggest load of horse shit you can pin your argument on. The free market, while a wonderful thing in many ways, does not absolve a litany of individuals from not being horrible, shady, bottom dwelling, parasites. The two can co-exist. You can have a free market AND people who do shitty things within that free market.
      Of course I’m engaging in hyperbole but the reality is that I don’t have a lot of respect for resellers. Like I said in my above comment, I think of them a lot like those gross af used car salesmen: legally allowed, sure, but someone I would avoid at all cost.

      That’s what I meant as well, but it’s an overwhelming task to do that kind of selling in bulk unless u get buyers who buy in “lots” like he did. Otherwise u get stuck selling again and again. Garage sales can be fun 3 or 4 times, but then too much work for all that u get out of it. I give it all away cheap, but this guy has a garage full of collectibles that should be on eBay. Just 10 items sell for more than he makes in 2 hours. Anyway, at least he was getting paid customers.

    It's true that the seller said to make an offer, but he later clarified what he thought a good offer would be - $1,000. The buyer then hedged and offered $750 and then came up to $850. $1,000 was a good deal, and I think it was rather insulting for the buyer to offer $750. If the seller had held out for $1,000, the buyer would have paid it.

      No the sister passed away. I dint think she spent 10 grand either, that was an exaggerated figure by her brother. If sold properly, she would have more then doubled her investments, but she also bought out of love not for gain. When I buy toys and figures I buy for collectors value, which she obviously didn't, some items are just not in that category.

    Some people value their time and their space more and don’t want to deal with a bunch of stuff. Personally I like stuff and I like collections, but as I’m getting older, I can tell that the time and the space are becoming more attractive to me.
    All in all, a deal’s a deal! I once found a Disney animation book, signed and numbered and priced at $20 at the thrift…did I tell them it was worth more? Nope! That was their asking and I bought it!

      The collector mentality often doesn't make sense to others. A lot of those figurines were never taken out of the packaging. Collectors often collect things and just having it in their collection is enough. They have no need to open it up and look at it or display it.

    For the people saying he shouldn't have paid that amount...the seller could have said no. He doesn't want all of that stuff. His sister was hoarding all of that stuff for who knows how many years and spend like $10,000 on it. You can't get that kind of value back when selling in a yard sale. You can take a photo of all of them stacked and such and maybe post on Craigslist or somewhere else, but you never know what kind of creep will show up from there. Yard sales are much more friendly and interactive for the most part. People are forgetting that even though this is a great profit, photos have to be taken of all of those and they have to be meticulously inspected box by box to see which ones do and don't have everything, the certificate, etc. Then you have to figure out the various shipping weights, buy boxes, packing materials, pay for shipping, etc. Then you have to pay taxes on the income that you make from doing all of that. Then for places like Ebay, there are expensive listing fees, fees for more images if needed, a percentage of the total sale price, a paypal fee if used, etc. Just because she paid $10K for it doesn't mean he'll get that. After all is factored in, that's probably $6K worth of stuff. Still a good profit, but a lot of work and time to list those things. That's why the guy isn't doing it himself. The people saying that he should have offered him $2K for it...while that would be a nice gesture...that's not too realistic in the real world. Those of you saying that...the next time you go buy a used or new car, give the person double what they are asking. Pay them $10K for a $5K car and put your money where your mouth is.

      It's business, not charity. There is no virtue in overpaying for something if the seller is willing to sell it at your price. Additionally; the buyer doesn't know how quickly he will be able to sell it, or if he will be able to sell it at all. That merchandise could be sitting dormant for a long time before you sell it. You have no way to know that at the point of sale. This is where the time value of money comes into play. Unfortunately; schools don't teach those financial basics anymore. There may also be some damage that is not readily visible on some of the pieces.
