Basically what you said (the way I read it) is that most people who buy for resale at garage sales don't have a clue what they are doing, so they have to rely on cheap prices versus having any actual knowledge of the item/s they are buying to turn a profit. Unlike those people (you included yourself in this) who really know what they are doing, that can pay a little under market value and still turn a profit. It's sounds like you're putting those people (including yourself) on a pedestal and the rest of us at your feet. Basically what your saying is, what you do takes actual skill and knowledge and what we do is just dumb blind luck based on a cheap price. Give a monkey a $20 bill and watch him go to garage sales, anybody can do it, no experience necessary. It reeks of arrogance and egoism. If I am wrong I apologize but that's the way I read it.
As far as already having my answer formed, I don't know why you would say that. Not to mention saying that nothing registered with me. Nothing flew over my head, quite the contrary. It may have flew over most others on here, but not me. I understood completely what you wrote and it's underlying implications. All I am saying is...
Not everybody can do it, and those that do it successfully have to have knowledge in multiple areas of collecting or they will lose their ass, garage sales or not.
Now as far as the op's original intent of this thread. Don't pay attention to some idiot on Youtube. I've seen several of his videos in the past dealing with auctions, garage sales, etc. The guy is good at one thing, blowing hot air in front of a camera.
