Don't tell anybody but Saturday I bought BARBIE.....

Yes, I couldn't resist. I bought Barbie magazines. 4 exact mags from 1986 in pristine condition with a record inside. I will try for $7.50 to 10 each. I also bought six Mattel toys catalogs from the 70's & 80's all in brand new condition. I will try for $20 -25 each. Only paid $7 for all.

I also couldn't resist, some guy had a ton of books at 2 for 25¢ I ended up buying 44 books. They are still in my car because I can't lift the box. Several are his college astronomy and law class books. Also a lot of Nancy drew type girls books from the 50's. paid $5.50

Bought a bunch of other small things too.

Sunday I got another load of cell phones (340 dead ones) They are packed and ready for Fed-x.

AND

Sunday afternoon I bought a lot of silver coins. Won't say how much but I had to go to Wells Fargo and make a big withdrawel. Turns out last June I bought a lot of silver coins from a yardsale seller and he said his brother (up North) had some coins too and when his brother comes to visit him he will call me.

I thought to my self that will never happen. Well around 2 PM he did call and I grabbed my left over yardsale cash thinking I might get $5 to $10 face in coins, nope a lot more.

What is strange last June the guy brought out a big jar full of coins and I sorted out the silver from the clad. Yesterday I did the same thing with his brothers coins. I have a feeling they inherited these coins from the same person and just split it into two equal containers.

I see so many used cell phones at sales, I am going to have to start buying them. What do you usually offer for old phones and what is too much?

Nothing wrong with the Barbie. I bought 2 totes full of porcelain dolls. That stuff sells.

Time for a big coin score for me, it's been a while. lol. Nothing wrong with a man buying women's/kid's stuff to resell. Money is where you make it.

You are due for a coin score! Sending good coin karma your way.

even breast pumps? I am very tempted, see a lot of them. I hear they sell very well.

I always say "I offer 50 cents" sounds better than "I only pay 50 cents" When some balk at that small amount i tell them I only get $1 (which is true)

The only time I paid more was when some guy had 3 iphones (in the box) and then I think I paid $5 for the lot. Those sold real nicely on the bay.

I listed two of those Saturday night at BIN for $25 ea + $5 ship and they sold before morning. Next ones to go up will probably be $35 each.
