Sommerso birds, German pottery, paint-by-numbers and pencil sharpeners at half-price? It's true! There's a lot of great deals at estate sales, if you know the tricks to getting them.
We show all these examples and more in this video, taken at an estate sale in Cheyenne, Wyoming. We're just far enough north of Denver that the antique and vintage collectors and resellers missed this sale, and we're here to reap the benefits! From Victorian Black Forest clocks and Star crocks to Venetian glass figures, there's bargains galore here, if you know how to find them.
The first step is shopping when the deals are best, and the last day of this sale should be a discount day...but it doesn't say so anywhere! That's bad news for those holding the sale, but good for our picking, since many shoppers assume the prices are still firm. We keep our ears open to hear whether they're bargain pricing today...turns out it's half-off, as shown by one lone sign that has fallen onto the floor.
The next trick is to leave no stone unturned! Closed drawers and shut doors leading to hidden merchandise are our friends, and we're not afraid to navigate a garage full of unsorted stuff that the other attendees overlook. Digging through piles of linens, looking up high and down low...these are the things that bring us cool collectibles our shoppers enjoy at prices we can easily afford for resale!
Our pile grows ever larger, with afghans, old razors and fun ephemera helping us put $300+ worth of antique and vintage goodies in the van...for only $129! We have a lot of fun along the way too, exploring the lives of the homeowners (as expressed through their collections), trying on fun fashion and seeing Wyoming's capitol city in the process. Estate sale-ing is great on half-off day!

Thank God for you, George! A voice of sanity in an insane on-line reseller's world!. I stopped counting how many reseller channels I've sampled and stopped watching part way through..Anyway, love this upload, and always look forward to more from you.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, thank you and I'll try to keep it interesting!

Hi George 👋 Great sale at half off. Dani went to one recently the door said 50% off everything, do she was digging in on the jewelry. Cashier said, Jewelry isn't half price. Dani said there's no sign and cashier said you should just know that, Jewelry is never half price. I suspect the Jewelry was never part of the estate. Anyway... my older Brother had a reel to reel and several albums on reels. I remember Boston, Fleetwood Mac, rumors. But they used to record their bands for critique. We also used to make silent movies with Dads old Brownie 35mm and then add sound effects and music then have theater time in the barn. Too bad we didn't have video games and computers. Lol My Grandpa was also good with the paint by numbers. Those were excellent! I don't remember if you got the afghans or not. They were in excellent shape. And the glass, I guess not .any resellers in that town or they missed that sale. Your gain for sure!

@@LauraMe... hi! I would be frosty if someone did that to me, I saw her video and that’s just not right, we do half off on jewelry at our sales unless otherwise marked. That firm needs to post clear signage and not assume what “everybody knows”! My dad wouldn’t let me near his reel to reel, I’d have done the same as you had I had the chance!

The large , West German Jasba floor vase is collectible. Jasba was founded in 1926 and ceased production of decorative ceramics in 1975. Jakob Schwanderlapp, who founded Jasba, went on to found Ceremano in 1959. Ceremono is also collectible

Hi George. The large Western German vase was made by Jasba (as marked on the bottom). Founded in 1926 they mainly produced home deco ceramics and vessels untill they branched out in the late 1950s to produce tiles. In the US their tiles were used in the facade of the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. Their vases and bowls etc. have quite characteristic glazes.

Great info on the Brooklyn Childrens Museum! I'll look for more of their stuff now that I understand the brand better, thanks!

Hi George! It was such a pleasure to meet you in Portland for my first visit to the Rose City Vintage Market. Even though I only got postcards from your boothmate, I totally forgot to ask your price on your spring blossom Cinderella bowl! That's the pattern I collect! I hope you had a great show and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you when I head to Springfield in September for the 2nd extravaganza.

George, if you ever get a deal on crochet thread like you saw here, pick it up and I’ll buy it from you! I suspect you would’ve gotten an amazing price on this. (Not all the things are for collecting. Some are for us die hard old grandmas who want to use the stuff. Cliche, old lady knitting and crocheting in the rocking chair with a cat chasing the yarn around) it’s also the reason I’m not a customer for afghans. I make more of them than I can give away. But the old crochet thread is hard to find.

Yes those were for a clock, I didn't see the clock itself though. My mom was one of the first to get disposable razors lol. I think it's funny that people avoid basements and garages, I find more there than in the main house sometimes!

Good evening, George. There were some cuckoo clock weights there that interested me. I would've gotten both those pencil sharpeners, too. Club cookware is really good stuff. I'd have loaded up on the doilies there. I can never seem to get enough of them. Loved that Black Forest clock. Like you, I would've spent some time in the garage. The garden tools in there interested me. Thanks for taking us along!

@TheAntiqueNomad Ай бұрын

Hello my friend! I did get both, the rotating sharpeners amuse me. Club is good, and the doilies were cheap but I have a bunch already. The Black Forest clock would've come with me but it was too costly, even at the discount. I'm glad to see you here and glad to have you with me!
