In this episode, we're taking you on a "buying trip"! Here, we're showing you step-by-step how to walk into an estate or garage sale and zone in immediately on the most valuable pieces. We show you how to identify valuable antique glass by spotting rich, saturated colors like cranberry and iridescent carnival glass and recognizing sought-after makers like Fenton, Northwood, and LE Smith (we even do a bit of a spotlight on Blenko). We also hit on the importance of understanding key features such as pontil marks, patterns, and unique shapes like swung vases and handkerchief vases. We're also discussing why we think white, or milk glass, is seeing a bit of a bump, how to evaluate quality through weight and craftsmanship, where to find hidden gems like fruit jars and insulators, and how to estimate the value of glass so you can get the most out of your resale profit (and not get burned paying too much for inventory). A must-listen for anyone heading out to spring estate and garage sales!

Have you ever passed by a pair of grungy cowboy boots or an old pair of used spurs at an estate sale? This episode will make you think twice about ever doing that again. This episode breaks down everything we've had luck selling in the Western or cowboy categories. We're talking, yes, authentic ranch-used gear like spurs; pop culture favorites from Bonanza, Gunsmoke; and the ever-popular Southwestern aesthetic—think geometric rugs, pottery, and turquoise jewelry (including some insight on Native-made pieces). You’ll also learn what makes rodeo belt buckles special, and how decor items like barbed wire, saloon signs, and Western-themed glassware keep selling. We even dish on some of our more successful surprises: railroad collectibles, cowboy sheet music, and cactus-shaped chip-and-dip sets. This episode is your guide to spotting the Western items buyers actually want.

Looking to boost your antique and vintage sales for Mother’s Day? In this episode, we break down the bestselling Mother’s Day antiques and collectibles, from mid-century greeting cards, vintage Pyrex in pastel colors, and chintz teacups to costume jewelry, lockets, floral prints, and nostalgic home décor like cake stands, table linens, and serving trays. Learn how to tap into the growing granny chic trends, list your items as ready-to-gift, and use emotionally driven descriptions that connect with buyers searching for meaningful, sentimental gifts for Mom or Grandma. The best part is, these items have broader appeal than Mother's Day, so even if they don't sell in time for the holiday, you can absolutely sell them year-round.
