EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

on the ground. Heard him say this is all KISS stuff. I mumble to myself, get away from that. He stood up and moved on, so only seeing a few pins and magazines on top, I grab it and head seller. How much I say, he says $5. I says here you go. Put a few items in my booth and priced about 30 % lower than priced(sold) on Ebay and they went the first day. Have tons more to sell and figure I'll make a couple of hundred. Even a rare Badlands promo album in unused condition.

Last week my friend and I were out all day looking. Stopped at an always there garage sale. Look like the same stuff as last year. My friend picks up what looks like a pick with flat ends for five bucks. He says it was used to drive RR spikes. I asked her how long it has been there and she says at least a year. So, I grab it, spit in my thumb and rub what little writing I could find. Said C&O on it. Sold it the first day for $40.

Been a great summer for buying. Moved into a new mall and sales have been great. My strategy is to sell cheaper than anyone else in the mall. 80% of my sales are to dealers.
