    What to look for at flea markets/garage sales?

    I know to look for silver and maybe old toys, and especially Coca Cola stuff, what else should I be looking for?

    go down thru the old threads, there's a good thread on this.
    But you can start with what you know, and build on it.
    Good luck!

    Re: What to look for at flea markets/garage sales?

    The list is never ending and always growing. I am actually building a list of items to buy, where to find them, prices to pay for them, what to look for condition wise, and how to price them, but have not decided whether or not I am going to give it out for free yet.

    Search my name and you will plenty of stuff I look for.

    Never stop researching new things to find.

    This is where I started researching things to find.

    Not sure If they are still Popular collectables.

    For years I Used to Buy 45's

    Could get them at yard sales, Sometimes by the Box for $1.00

    Didn't matter if they were Scratched,
    who or Sleevless.
    took them all to a local Pawn shop about 10
    maybe 15 years ago.
    guy had a Standing price paying $1.00 each record.

    discriminate out Spike TV and American Diggers !

    Men's Levi's...any size, in good condition (no rips, tears, frays or stains), and pay $1 or less...EVERY pair I've every bought has sold quickly. Not a huge profit margin (always sell in the $8.99 range and charge for shipping)...but it all adds up.

    I've just not bought women's or children's...maybe they sell good too.

    The old school Levi's with the red stitching can sell for $800 or more in mint condition. I always turn em inside out, even if they're not my size, lol.
