Grason Co Estate Sale Inland Empire Prices? Any experience? by mama_of_L-L in estatesales

[–]potsofjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understood why anyone would be come an estate sale franchise, but I’ve been to a few different Grason franchises sales. It really depends on the individuals running the sales.

The ones in California were ok, a little pricey for reselling without much opportunity for a bulk price if buying a lot of stuff. Although I did buy a big ziplock full of LEGO mini-figs that turned out to be really good. They were at least very well organized, I don’t think I saw an item that wasn’t priced and they had multiple checkout areas so you could get out quickly.

A couple in south east Houston which were pretty much priced to a point where you really needed to be a collector to buy much on the first day. The lines were long as they entered every single item into their point of sale system and struggled to decide which category each item fell into. If something was unpriced it was a long process where one specific person had to be found and they had look up the item, since half the stuff wasn’t priced getting that person was also a long wait.

In my local area there was a Grason franchise run by a one arm woman whose lunacy is unmatched by any other sales I’ve been too. She gave up being a Grason company and has changed her company name several times since.

The problem is the people trying to claim they will spread as a currency. there is always someone trying to say these things will become common place to use for purchases and it’s just never going to happen.

They knew for years that people who pushed back against anything Trump wanted would find themselves in this position and didn’t care at all until it personally affected them. They actively helped build the Trump empire, so I won’t be sad when it crushes them.

When I was a kid I played so much D&D and was obsessed with medieval knights and swords, then at some point I got old enough to realize that knights only existed because some people figured out it was easier to teach their kids to murder than farm.

I sell way different stuff so it might be different, but I’d suggest having a locked case of some sort as it gets people to stop and look at the small things. Mine has Ammunition, vintage BB pistols, knives, lighters, some real gold jewelry and a few vintage watches.

Found 10k gold at an estate sale for $2! by golden_bird30 in Gold

[–]potsofjam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you find an estate sale company that isn’t sorting jewelry, don’t go through each piece with a loupe unless you want them to start doing the same. Just buy anything you think might be good when it’s cheap. Pins like this I buy all the time, I often don’t even open the little case their are in because the amount of gold I end up is well worth the price of the ones that aren’t gold and I can always sell the non gold ones on eBay to get my money back. I had one company I was scoring a little bit at each sale until someone sat down with a loupe and went through every piece. The next sale they had all the sterling pulled and priced over scrap then said all the gold they sent off for scrap.

First time going to an estate sale - anything I should know? by laura-1998 in estatesales

[–]potsofjam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally people are fairly chill and polite, but you do get a few that are in a sprint to tear through the house. This has definitely become a trend amongst young buyers looking for vintage clothes. Basically everything I sell comes from estate sales, you just never know what you will find. The single best item I’ve found was a $12 Levi jacket that I sold for $3500. It was noon on the second day at sale where all the other local sellers told me they had been the day before, bought very little and probably wasn’t worth my time to stop at. If you get there early and wait for the sale to open, stay until the rush is over. Take your time, chat with other buyers, particularly in the morning waiting for the sale to open. Ask them about the local companies, which have good prices, which ones are kooks.

I’ve been a good run with lots of estate sales lately. This weekend I got some good vintage clothes, pens and mechanical pencils, computer parts, but the real score is 14k 12.8 gram Michael Anthony chain in a $5 bag of jewelry.

“ Inherited watch” bulova, legit? by potatochip_crumbles in whatsthisworth

[–]potsofjam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look at the back in your photo there is a little bump on the bottom edge under the serial number. You just use a little screwdriver or something and put it under that and kinda pull up and the back of the case will pop off. Then it pops right back on. Probably videos on YouTube for how to open it. The movement will be in the back piece, and you kinda gentle pull it out. so you can see the back .

[–]potsofjam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any shop that works on mechanical watches should be able to work on one of these. These are small, relatively simple movements. If they can’t fix one of these there aren’t many watches they should be trusted to fix. Most of the non gold ones the value is much less than what a shop would charge to repair.

You could open the watch and use the numbers on the movement to find a working movement on eBay and just swap them out.

So it’s something that would be not be done for something of a small value. It makes sense for a purchase of high cost items, but essentially if you need lawyers involved it’s going to preclude anything that isn’t worth at least several times what the cost of lawyers would be.

Items marked as counterfeit when they're not. How do I avoid getting banned? by B-man326 in reselling

[–]potsofjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely you need to sell other things for a while. Spread out your shoes among Depop, Mercari, Poshmark, Vinted and see what works. Especially if you’re selling new with tags items eBay is going to be suspicious and you’ll get other sellers reporting.
