I sell the same kind of things Tim does and shop at garage and estate sales in addition to buying privately. Although we live in different parts of the country, Tim’s advice was right in line with my experience. His presentation was clear and easy to follow and should be very helpful to people who are relatively new to this great source of inventory - excellent job!

Tim’s podcast is fun and enthusiastic! He made me want to run out there and discover my own garage sale treasures to sell for big bucks on Ebay (maybe it’s time to open a second store…).
Thanks for some great tips,

I love listening to Tim; I have tried a few “estate” sales in my area but it is pretty rural and most are just glorified garage sales. I am trying again in the morning (bright and early) and will use his recommendations.
I do appreciate Tim’s honesty and integrity — thanks so much for sharing!
