- Sommerso birds, German pottery, paint-by-numbers and pencil sharpeners at half-price? It's true! There's a lot of great deals at estate sales, if you know the tricks to getting them.
We show all these examples and more in this video, taken at an estate sale in Cheyenne, Wyoming. We're just far enough north of Denver that the antique and vintage collectors and resellers missed this sale, and we're here to reap the benefits! From Victorian Black Forest clocks and Star crocks to Venetian glass figures, there's bargains galore here, if you know how to find them.
The first step is shopping when the deals are best, and the last day of this sale should be a discount day...but it doesn't say so anywhere! That's bad news for those holding the sale, but good for our picking, since many shoppers assume the prices are still firm. We keep our ears open to hear whether they're bargain pricing today...turns out it's half-off, as shown by one lone sign that has fallen onto the floor.
The next trick is to leave no stone unturned! Closed drawers and shut doors leading to hidden merchandise are our friends, and we're not afraid to navigate a garage full of unsorted stuff that the other attendees overlook. Digging through piles of linens, looking up high and down low...these are the things that bring us cool collectibles our shoppers enjoy at prices we can easily afford for resale!
Our pile grows ever larger, with afghans, old razors and fun ephemera helping us put $300+ worth of antique and vintage goodies in the van...for only $129! We have a lot of fun along the way too, exploring the lives of the homeowners (as expressed through their collections), trying on fun fashion and seeing Wyoming's capitol city in the process. Estate sale-ing is great on half-off day!

Thank God for you, George! A voice of sanity in an insane on-line reseller's world!. I stopped counting how many reseller channels I've sampled and stopped watching part way through..Anyway, love this upload, and always look forward to more from you.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it, thank you and I'll try to keep it interesting!
Hi George 👋
Great sale at half off. Dani went to one recently the door said 50% off everything, do she was digging in on the jewelry. Cashier said, Jewelry isn't half price. Dani said there's no sign and cashier said you should just know that, Jewelry is never half price. I suspect the Jewelry was never part of the estate.
Anyway... my older Brother had a reel to reel and several albums on reels. I remember Boston, Fleetwood Mac, rumors. But they used to record their bands for critique. We also used to make silent movies with Dads old Brownie 35mm and then add sound effects and music then have theater time in the barn. Too bad we didn't have video games and computers. Lol
My Grandpa was also good with the paint by numbers. Those were excellent! I don't remember if you got the afghans or not. They were in excellent shape. And the glass, I guess not .any resellers in that town or they missed that sale. Your gain for sure!
@@LauraMe... hi! I would be frosty if someone did that to me, I saw her video and that’s just not right, we do half off on jewelry at our sales unless otherwise marked. That firm needs to post clear signage and not assume what “everybody knows”! My dad wouldn’t let me near his reel to reel, I’d have done the same as you had I had the chance!
The large , West German Jasba floor vase is collectible. Jasba was founded in 1926 and ceased production of decorative ceramics in 1975. Jakob Schwanderlapp, who founded Jasba, went on to found Ceremano in 1959. Ceremono is also collectible
Jasba! Thank you. I used to know their mark but not their history, that is very interesting. I have a lot to learn about German pottery
I loved all the plastic “Breyer” looking horses. I love your commentary. “Oh look, it has a broken leg - we’ll have to shoot it!” 🤣🤣🤣. You look great in the blue wig!
In addition to all the antique information you provide, I love the history info too. For example, cool to know that Wyoming was the first state to give the vote to women and why. Thank you for all the great info, George :)
Our pleasure!
You’re such a fun weirdo George! Love the blue clown wig.
Lol thank you I couldn't stop myself
That is correct. I have my
Mom’s Avon suitcase somewhere it is aqua and green. It really held a lot. It was my job to restock it with her.
Neat! Thanks
Hi George. The large Western German vase was made by Jasba (as marked on the bottom). Founded in 1926 they mainly produced home deco ceramics and vessels untill they branched out in the late 1950s to produce tiles. In the US their tiles were used in the facade of the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. Their vases and bowls etc. have quite characteristic glazes.
Great info on the Brooklyn Childrens Museum! I'll look for more of their stuff now that I understand the brand better, thanks!
Hi George! It was such a pleasure to meet you in Portland for my first visit to the Rose City Vintage Market. Even though I only got postcards from your boothmate, I totally forgot to ask your price on your spring blossom Cinderella bowl! That's the pattern I collect! I hope you had a great show and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you when I head to Springfield in September for the 2nd extravaganza.
I am so glad you had fun and found things you like! Both the bowl and the covered casserole were priced at $29 and are still available. I look forward to seeing you in Springfield!

That policy should be posted, no one "should just know that", I've done 1/2 off jewelry at almost every estate sale I've ever conducted!
I remember the inch worm toy, lol, had so much fun on that thing around the yard. Those were some lovely birds on the shelf and I probably would have bought all the thread because I love crocheting with it to make lace and doilies. Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along. Have a safe trip and wonderful day
Glad you enjoyed it!
Damn, George! I almost choked on s potato when you said the horse with the broken leg would have to be shot! 😂
Sorry! Lol
Thank you for Sharing. What a great estate sale. You never know never know what you will find.Please Stay Safe Happy and Healthy Have A Wonderful Day
8:25
Love the Creeper Woman
She gave you a look George😆
Lol yes it happens
5:55 Glad you picked up that W. German vase because early on in the video I was immediately attracted to it, but I guess you hadn't quite noticed it yet.
It took me a minute to realize it was still there! I was surprised how much of the more interesting MCM home decor hadn't sold
@@TheAntiqueNomad Just like going to garage sales, you can go late in the day and still find great stuff. You just never know.
@@agomodern yes! So true
Hi George, the vase is Jasba from Germany. I have a large ceramic rumtopf (rum making pot) by Jasba with a fab 1970's style also
Cool!
Oh those glass swans❤
How are you so knowledgeable? You know so much 😮 thank you for sharing these videos :)
Thanks, I've done it awhile and have seen a lot! Also if you look in the comments, people will help educate each other here too, so I get to learn as well
I also have rescued the grandfathers clock of my grandparent standing now in the corridor.
Good!
George, if you ever get a deal on crochet thread like you saw here, pick it up and I’ll buy it from you! I suspect you would’ve gotten an amazing price on this. (Not all the things are for collecting. Some are for us die hard old grandmas who want to use the stuff. Cliche, old lady knitting and crocheting in the rocking chair with a cat chasing the yarn around) it’s also the reason I’m not a customer for afghans. I make more of them than I can give away. But the old crochet thread is hard to find.
That's a fact! I'll keep an eye out for you.
Marilyn and I so enjoyed visiting with you in Portland. Hope you had a GREAT show. Sending hugs.
I am so glad you came! I really enjoyed spending more time together.
omg that beautiful vase George.. that was a great price. its always great to find a estate sale on 50%off day!
Missed you last night but watched today. Nice video! Cool stuff but those prices!
Thanks 👍
Wild George this was a fantastic video I loved the estate sale that I just really loved you showing us about the city of Cheyenne it was great.
I really like that. I hope you have fun doing it because we really love those things have fun. Be safe and keep on trying Wiggs and helmets. LO LLO L.❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!
Thank you! Cheyenne is a neat town and I'm glad to get to show it.
Good lesson saying to go ahead and explore the deep back rooms if they aren’t posted not to. I bet you make several wonderful finds doing so. Fun to see you again 🎉❤
I sure do! Good to see you here too
I love the brown and cream vase!!
Me too!!
😂😂😂
You crack me up !
I really liked that Avon suitcase.
Tfs
Your the best, your knowledge is awesome.
And the weather's nice too.
Love that German vase!!
0:52 are those pine cone weights for a coo coo clock that we’re laying by the badges? 4:45 gorgeous 12:49 omg my mom used razors like that in the 70’s to shave her legs 😂 16:33 there’s always some hidden gems in the basements or garages at our local estate sales. Sometimes I think they do it on purpose to see who will really go into those areas to shop.
Yes those were for a clock, I didn't see the clock itself though. My mom was one of the first to get disposable razors lol. I think it's funny that people avoid basements and garages, I find more there than in the main house sometimes!
A beautiful rainy day n nite at lake house i luv a rainy nite in Ga
So much fun , ty George
Can't say I like kinkade but my sister does 😂
It isn't my taste because I like the 1920s prints he was emulating better, but I understand their appeal
Don't wig out, blue is your color! 5:22
lol
5:52 I find west German to be more diverse, intriguing, and creative than Bitossi. I found some more great pieces for October. Love the wig, George! I’m lucky to know you! 🤗🤗
Likewise! I thought the German piece was really cool too
The very best of luck to you George 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome Murano finds!!!!!
Cheyenne looks cool.
It’s a pleasant town except in winter lol
@@TheAntiqueNomad brrrrrr
My mother had a chair like the gold one. Enjoyed the video as always! Thanks 😊
That blue wig is a hoot! 😂
My grandma had that chair too! She did NOT have a blue wig lol
Thx George- good haul!
Thanks George !Great video
Very welcome!
Good evening, George. There were some cuckoo clock weights there that interested me. I would've gotten both those pencil sharpeners, too. Club cookware is really good stuff. I'd have loaded up on the doilies there. I can never seem to get enough of them. Loved that Black Forest clock. Like you, I would've spent some time in the garage. The garden tools in there interested me. Thanks for taking us along!
Hello my friend! I did get both, the rotating sharpeners amuse me. Club is good, and the doilies were cheap but I have a bunch already. The Black Forest clock would've come with me but it was too costly, even at the discount. I'm glad to see you here and glad to have you with me!
@@TheAntiqueNomad If you come across a lot of cheap doilies again, grab a load of them and just let me know. I never seem to have enough of them. With 64-65 beverage sets, I'm always needing doilies. The ones that are 9" to 11" are the best for the sets.
Out of curiosity, do you remember how much they were asking for the Black Forest clock? It was a pretty one.
@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS I will look for you! The clock was $350 which meant $175 on sale, a fair price for a collector but not low enough for resale where I sell
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thanks! Hmmm, at the $175, I guess I'd have had another ticker in the house 😂 How much do they usually sell for these days, at the shows? I can remember when the $350 would've been cheap.
@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS I do too. Now, $350 is pushing it a bit
Let the countdown begin hi xman
6:15: It is Jasba from Koblenz (1926-1971).
Thank you! Someone else i.d. it and gave me some history, and you gave dates. I love learning too!
I can't wait!
Nellie Taylor Ross the first female senator was from Wyoming
That's right!
From Darla❤❤❤❤😊
I have one of them birthing chairs George I had no idea what it was are they anything? I love your trips I see so many different things from all over our beautiful country🦋💜🦋
Thank you! I don't find a lot of collectors, but the Scandinavian birthing chairs have some collectors
Well we'll well it's really five o'clock at lake house now till sunday
The paint by numbers are pretty cool!
Love the paint by numbers.
❤
Those are architectural pencil sharpeners for mechanical lead pencils and I would LOVE one. Are they for sale?
Oh very nice! I sold one at the show but might have one left, I'll look
I don't think you should have passed up on the dish next to the one with the red printing on the bottom. I saw one in the movie HALLOWEEN and the design is old. I broke my dish, but loved the design
It is older, and not necessarily bad! I have a lot of dishware right now though
How many more state capitols are still on your “to see” list? Have you been to Austin? We’d love to meet up with you here in Texas!
I've been to Austin, nice town! I still have Maine, New Hampshire, Oklahoma (been through but didn't see the capitol), North Carolina, and New York to go
✨❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨
By George know how to shop on half day off ..... if I could only one
Find one
It's five o'clock somewhere....😊
I know right!! 50% off is a great deal
Ja johnson we must
I found a Bitossi horse rimimi blue sitting on the floor so I always look low and high. Btw it was only $15
Great deal! See? It works
Wait, you're calling what is obviously Bradford Exchange items, not good quality? what do you know that we don't?
Bradford Exchange quality is quite variable in my mind
😂 LOL! He Knows just about everything that we don’t ! Love ya George ❤
@@mypreciousvintage5785 aww thanks but I’m still learning too
These people must have had some tours overseas veterans?
I think so
You have officially gone off the deep end.
Lol only for a moment, I'm probably too sane for my own good
@@TheAntiqueNomad I'm wondering if there's a way you could connect to prop houses. They might be interested in buying these odd things you run across like the electric razor. Maybe they buy things on ebay.
