so I don't know about you guys but I
haven't recently stumbled upon a lot of
free time and one thing I'm doing to
make the most of this time is product
research no matter how long you've been
reselling or flipping items there are
always going to be new categories niches
and items to learn so I recently asked
my Instagram audience to give me their
best bolos or items to be on the lookout
for that's what bolo stands for and you
guys gave me some great answers so in
today's video I'm going to share with
you guys ten of the best most valuable
used items you should look out for when
searching for things to sell on ebay
[Music]
what's going on you guys Josh here also
known as Harry tornado if you guys are
new to my channel and you don't know who
I am I'm a full time reseller based out
of South Carolina and this means I buy
things at thrift stores yard sales
estate sales things like that and sell
them on platforms like eBay and Amazon
my channel here on YouTube is all about
my reselling business what I'm buying
what I'm selling how I go about
operating things so if you guys are
interested in that be sure to go ahead
and subscribe item number one is going
to be used video games now I know this
is a really broad category so I am gonna
give you guys some specific titles that
still sell really really well however
most video games in general are produced
in such mass quantities nowadays that
you know within 30 days after their
release used copies just really aren't
worth much however there are a few
titles that have maintained their value
in some that have actually increased in
value over the years the big blockbuster
games like Call of Duty or Halo or Grand
Theft Auto lose most of their value
within about a year but games in the
Mario universe typically maintain their
value over time now this isn't true for
all Mario titles but most of them are
still worth something things like Super
Mario Galaxy Mario Party 8 and 9 are
still worth a good bit of money for
example I recently bought a Nintendo Wii
at a thrift store for $30 I had some
controllers and stuff with it and
usually when you buy used Nintendo Wiis
there's almost always a game inside
people just forget that there's a game
in there when they donate it so I got
this unit home I turned it on pushed
eject and out came a copy of Super Mario
Sunshine for the Nintendo GameCube I had
actually never heard of this title
before and I didn't have the case or
manual or anything it was just the disc
only but I looked up sold comps on eBay
and it looked like this game was selling
for 35 to 45 dollars with just the disk
only nope no manual or anything so I
listed it and it sold within about 45
minutes for $40 with free shipping so
definitely a title you wouldn't be on
the lookout for one of the least common
Mario games I've seen you know we all
see the Mario Party in the Super Mario
Galaxy and things like that but those
really specific Mario games can do very
very well if I did have the case and
manual for this game it looks like
they're selling for about sixty to
sixty-five dollars plus shipping so
that's probably pretty close to the
original retail value of the game so
this is a game that has really
maintained its value over time most of
the time we were dealing with video
games about sports whether it be Tiger
Woods golf or Madden or 2k basketball or
whatever they're usually not really
worth much after the year that they are
released so we're in 2020 right now a
2019 NBA 2k is probably worth like 10
bucks or so not very much for a game
that's only one year old the only
exception to this rule is NCAA football
2014 this is the last year they made the
collegiate of this video game and it is
for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this game
was probably about 50 to 60 dollars
retail when it came out and now if you
have a used version with a case and
manual you can probably get about $90
for it with free shipping it'll probably
call us like three bucks to ship out so
if you ever see one of those sitting
around at a yard sale or a thrift store
or if you're buying a big bundle of
video games on Facebook marketplace and
you see that title in there do not
overlook it that game is money then the
last game title I'm going to talk about
is a PlayStation 2 game PlayStation 2
guys the place that you came out in like
2003 or so like that super old but this
game is a I guess a rare Japanese horror
game or something and I want to give my
buddy Eric the college picture on
Instagram and YouTube a shout out for
this I saw him talk about this in a
Instagram story recently and the game is
called cool Quan Kate Kuo in I think I'm
not a hundred percent sure I've never
heard of this title I've never seen it I
I'm not sure it was available and
everywhere in the United States it seems
to be pretty rare if you can find this
game new sealed it can
worth 800 to $1,000 that's crazy for a
PlayStation 2 game even if it's open and
and used it's still worth about 500
bucks
so I'm assuming this game was super rare
it's got like it may be a following
behind it on the internet or something I
don't know I don't really like scary
games they scare me but if you're ever
at a thrift store or yard sale or if
you're buying again like a bulk lot of
video games for an old PlayStation 2
look for that title because this is
probably one of the more valuable used
video games that you could maybe find
out in the wild item number two is
grundig radios I think I'm pronouncing
that right
this was courtesy of a man named George
underscore Perez 2019 on Instagram so
mr. Perez thank you so much for this
this is an awesome bolo now I do not
know a ton about Grundig radios because
before mr. Perez pointed them out I had
never heard of them before so I did a
quick eBay search and it looks like
they're selling a pretty often used
units and good working condition can
sell for 500 to 750 dollars so this is a
great item to be on the lookout for I
feel like you'd probably have a good
chance of finding these at an estate
sale maybe a thrift store but probably
Estate Sales or yard sales maybe at an
antique store maybe you go to an antique
store and you found one for a couple
hundred bucks and it's working and you
can flip it on eBay for 500 to 750
dollars they do sell in non-working
condition as well people do fix them I
think non-working once they look like
they're selling for about $200 or so
item number three is courtesy of flippy
underscore make flipper s'en on
instagram and he told me about these
black & decker space maker can openers
these look like those old can openers
you had mount like underneath the
kitchen cabinet so they're not actually
on the counter I've seen these in thrift
stores before I just never thought to
actually look them up but use versions
of these in good working condition are
selling for over $100 I don't know like
that seems crazy to me they also have a
very good sell through rate so they're
not gonna sit on eBay for too long so if
you're at a yard sale or a thrift store
and you happen to find one of these in
working condition be sure to list it and
don't undersell yourself these will sell
for about that hundred dollar mark next
up we have Roli Affleck's
camera
I have no idea if I'm pronouncing that
correctly but this comes to me
courtesy of my friend drew over at
profit monsters on Instagram and YouTube
so true thank you so much for this these
things are super cool the ones that are
the most valuable have a very distinct
look to them they're like the taller
rectangular ones that have just that old
camera style look there are some other
Rolleiflex cameras that are made in the
traditional like horizontal camera
method but those do not really sell for
much at all so if you find one and it's
in good working condition I would pick
it up even if it's not in working
condition I'd probably still pick it up
if it were one of the taller black and
silver models these cameras depending on
the model and if they are fully
functioning can sell anywhere from two
hundred dollars up to two thousand
dollars so if you see one of these at an
estate sale or a yard sale or anything
like that be sure to grab it the next
item is courtesy of froggy flips on
Instagram and YouTube and they are
vintage Alcoholics Anonymous handbooks I
had no idea these things to be worth so
much money it's looking like sold comps
on very used ones from the 50s and 60s
are selling for about sixty to
seventy-five dollars or so so if you
come across a really old one in really
good condition I imagine they could
probably go for a little over a hundred
I think the best place to find these
would probably be thrift stores and
estate sales you might come across one
at a yard sale but for something like
this I feel like if somebody finds it
like at their grandparents house they're
not gonna know the value so they're not
gonna bother putting it in a yard sale
it might be there for an estate sale
because it's a sale they sell everything
but something like that I feel like it
has a high chance of just getting thrown
away which is kind of sad so if you find
one save it sell it make some money
somebody jump in here do a quick
announcement if you guys are enjoying
this video at all even like 1% if you've
learned anything if you've enjoyed the 5
bolos so far go ahead and the thumbs up
button for me it takes like two seconds
it's free and it really helps the video
out a ton it helps my channel out a ton
and I would greatly appreciate it
you're the best back to the Volos the
next item is a Microsoft trackball mouse
1.0 and this comes to me courtesy of
Andy so meta on Instagram these are
easily overlooked at thrift stores and
yard sales and they have a very high
sell through rate generally once they
are listed on eBay
they sell within about a week as long as
they are functioning and in good
physical condition
you should expect to get between seven
five and $100 for them do not sell them
for less than that if they are in good
physical condition and functioning next
up is my personal best flip ever and
these are Vitamix blenders I found one
of these at a yard sale for eight bucks
it was totally complete had the base the
jar and the lid and it sold on eBay for
two hundred and sixty-five dollars plus
shipping I think something somewhere
around there so turnin eight bucks into
265 was crazy the full retail on these
blenders is like 400 to 700 dollars
depending on the model and the used
units are still maintaining a lot of
that value complete units with the base
the canister in the lid are selling for
between 250 to 400 dollars or so and
even if you come across just parts and
pieces like a lid or a canister or just
the base by itself you can still sell
these they sell very fast and for a lot
of money lids can sell for 25 bucks plus
shipping canisters can sell for up to a
hundred two hundred and fifty dollars by
themselves and bases could sell for 150
to 200 dollars so anything you see that
has Vitamix on it be sure to grab it
another great brand of blender to be
able to look out for is blend tech they
are not quite as valuable as Vitamix but
they still retail very high and hold
most of their value I recently sold a
canister by itself
I paid 92 cents for it and I think it
sold for like $30 plus shipping some
canisters generally with canisters the
larger the better mine was a 32 ounce
but if you had a 64 ounce or anything
larger than that they can sell for 60 up
to $100 or so so just like the Vitamix
anything you see that has Blendtec on it
whether it be a canister or lid or base
be sure to pick it up next up is
Griswold cast-iron cookware they can
come in frying pans dutch ovens
kettles whatever you call it anything
cast-iron with Griswold on the bottom is
typically worth something the most
valuable sold comps I'm seeing are on
large clean frying pans like if you can
find a Chris Walt frying pan that's you
know 24 36 inches in diameter
those can sell for 500 to 700 dollars
used so definitely be on the lookout for
these at yard sales estate sales
maybe antique stores maybe you can fund
a one that's in good condition antique
store for a couple hundred bucks and you
could
maybe double your money on it so
Griswold is great if you search soul
comps and you sort them lowest to
highest you'll see some smaller frying
pans like this size they're selling for
like eight ten bucks or so so maybe not
pick up those really small ones or ones
that are in bad condition but the larger
ones in good condition are ready to be
cooked with our it definitely worth a
lot of money next up is vintage hood
ornaments these are the little metal
doohickeys that go on the hoods of old
cars these are very sought-after by
collectors and also people that are
refurbishing old cars if they're if they
have a car that's missing a hood
ornament they will pay top dollar to
find an original one to complete their
restorations you probably won't find one
of these at a thrift store I did
remember seeing a guy on Instagram the
other day that found one of the Mack
truck Bulldogs Mack trucks usually have
the Bulldog hood ornament on there and
those are fairly common if you found one
of those in good condition you could
probably get 50 to 100 bucks for it or
so but the really rare ones that are
worth five six seven hundred bucks you
might find those in this at an estate
sale maybe in the garage of an estate
sale maybe at a thrift store maybe the
yard sale but I think an estate sale is
probably gonna be your best bet so
anytime you find a cool metal ornament
whether it be a hood ornament or maybe
just a old trophy topper I've seen some
people that do like customized hot rods
and they want a cool hood ornament so
they maybe get the top of an old trophy
or something to put up there really
anything cool and metal
I would pick up that's pretty that's
something that's going to be pretty
collectible and has a wide variety of
uses whether it be a hood ornament
or not so hood ornaments be on the
lookout for him also anything metal and
coolican and last but not least be on
the lookout for vintage perfumes these
can easily be found in the bathrooms at
estate sales sometimes you find some at
thrift stores I did find a lot of them
at the Salvation Army in my town I
bought like 12 or 15 bottles and I sold
all of them I ended up making a profit
of I don't know three or four hundred
dollars once everything was said and
done because I only paid ninety nine
cents per bottle some people buy them
for the actual scent of the perfume and
some people only buy them to collect
they like the way you know the old
vintage bottles looked but either way
they're willing to pay up probably one
of the more valuable and
ignitable brands of vintage perfume to
pick up would be Chanel it does come in
a few different scents and depending on
you know the exact scent and how much
liquids in there it could sell for over
$1000 so if you see vintage Chanel
perfume at a thrift store or an estate
sale be sure to pick it up and there are
hundreds of other brands of perfumes
that can sell for between that 50 to 100
dollar mark as well so if you find some
and you have time to look them up just
do so I know a lot of people don't want
to sell vintage perfume because they
feel like it may have gone bad but again
like I said most people know that the
perfume is 50 years old so it may not
smell the same and also they do collect
them just to show them off in a vanity
or something like that or maybe the
bottles so definitely be on the lookout
for vintage perfumes so they're having
guys that is 10 of my best most valuable
used items to flip on eBay huge shout
out to those of you on Instagram who
helped me compile this list and fill in
the gaps with your awesome bolos I'd
greatly appreciate that if you guys as
viewers of this video learned anything
whether it be new brands or new items in
general be sure to smash the like button

the best and I'll catch you guys on the
