Here is a puzzle my wife and I found on our daily treasure hunts.
charles wysocki parker bros puzzle valey pumpkin farm 1.jpg
Paid $1.50 for it, sold it on Ebay in 1 day for $52.00!!
 

What? Crazy. I always look at puzzles but t I keep them for winter. Nice score. Why so high of a price? Brand? Subject?
 

Peopel collect Charles Wysocki puzzels, and this is on of the rarer ones. I have got good money for lots of puzzles. I only buy sealed ones usually.
 

Nice find! I buy them all the time sealed for $1-$2 from the thrift stores and flip them on Amazon FBA for $20-$40. Board games are also good sellers but I feel like a lot of pickers overlook the puzzles! Thomas Kinkade themed and Ravensburger puzzles are good sellers in my experience.
 

I've picked up some vintage older puzzles but never anything newer. I'm going to have to take a closer look now.
 

Thanks for the tip. Sealed is the key. I assume they are worthless if missing a piece.
 

I will scan them but think I am sure they are missing pieces and no way am I going to count them. Sealed ones are hard to find here. The ones that are sealed are the common wal mart kind.
 

Just go to Ebay, do a search on Charles Wysocki puzzles, sold, highest priced. You will be amazed. Some of these puzzles are worth buying new and just holding on to them.
 

Years ago, I bought a 3-d star wars puzzle for a quarter. Sold it for something like $38. Funny story, I was riding the bus home and decided to get off and go to a last chance thrift store on the bus route. Glad I did! The box itself was open but the bag inside was still sealed. I walked by it 3-4 times, picked it up twice, something told me to pop on it. Ive learned to go with my gut.
 

I have never thought much about them. I did pick up an old (1968) Concorde puzzle the other day for a couple $, probably only worth a couple $ too :)
I liked the art work and thought there might be some Concorde or puzzle collectors.

do you guy's think this 1974 Superman puzzle would be worth grabbing?
