Trash Talk Nation, this is a very special episode
of Trash Talk you're about to see.
We were in Canada, Gary decided he wanted
to go out thrift shopping, and in a matter of moments,
we were in a car, on our way.
I think that's one of the great things about Trash Talk,
is if you live in a town where maybe you don't wanna wait
for the weekend to go to a garage sale,
these videos really are intended to teach you
how to go and make money any day of the week.
This is my second time shooting Trash Talk,
stepping in for the illustrious D-Rock.
Hope you enjoy it.
Trash Talk, let's go.
Wow!
How many people even?
Good, we're gonna go in a mall.
I think, I really think thrifting on a Saturday,
if you really get knowledgeable about a lot of categories,
is a two, $300 Saturday.
I mean, me and AJ, poor AJ,
because I say me and AJ,
AJ did the ******* posting and shipping.
------- digital camera, take out the disc,
put it in the computer, slow internet,
and now, on your ******* phone,
while you're eating a ******* Tim Hortons burger,
you're like, ****.
Does Tim Hortons sell burgers?
Value the village Vaynerchuk.
They got mugs, man.
It's an easy thing to learn.
12 bucks.
Right, again, this is where you decide
do you wanna list it for 15 and sit on it for a while.
But this I'd probably buy,
because Christmas is coming up,
and I'd probably put it,
and not be able to take it.
Put it twice.
Put this one smurf, right here.
Is this one smurf?
I know what it is.
It's a 1982 Payo smurf figurine.
Some of them are quite rare.
Yeah, this bag of $4.99, between that.
Is it a Pokemon?
Like, this is a winning bag.
A little older.
Yeah, we're gonna take this.
We'll break it down later.
I'm excited to do the homework
on the bag that I just grabbed.
And that's what you have to do when you first start,
because you don't know anything.
You've gotta take a couple risks just to learn.
What made you draw that one out?
This?
Yeah.
I appeal.
Right?
Just like, you just know that people like skeletons.
You know?
That ---- adds up.
$17.
What just happened here?
What happened here is $25 for this register.
This is 20 bucks.
The amount of hipsters in Brooklyn,
you know this, Nima.
You're cool.
It's got East Village vibes.
This is like exactly what people pay $40 for
in a, actually, this fits nicely.
This Mario hat is ******* flexing as ****.
Toronto thrift store's like, what, is that?
This Mario hat is gonna kill.
Thrift store life, gotta love it.
Not bad for 30 minutes.
All right, now, one of my favorite things to do
is these little fun packs they get at 499.
You really start to break them down.
This was one of the risks.
But again, for a lot of people watching,
it's not for lost because this is where you learn.
This dinosaur eraser.
And again, this goes to marketing.
You take this picture underneath,
and you go here, and you go, you know,
vintage, retro, old, rare, you know, dinosaur.
Some people know which dinosaur this is.
80s, 90s eraser.
You put this for 15 bucks on Etsy,
I'm telling you it sells.
Oh, this is what I was hoping for.
Pokemon, ************.
Do you guys know which Pokemon this is?
I can tweet this and be like, here you go.
10, 10, and if you meet someone who saw it,
you'd probably get 10 for that as well.
But, you know, this is 25 bucks,
plus shipping, plus $5 shipping.
I'm gonna look up Garfield,
I'm gonna look up Cabbage Patch Kid,
I'm gonna look up the Smurf,
but I'm just gonna play and say this is another 10.
45, 50, here's the thing.
Again, this keeps going down to what I'm trying to say.
A lot of people on Earth today are making minimum wage.
12, $13 an hour.
We're an hour all in now.
Like, all that work.
We stayed in the store for a little while, the driving.
But we're like, at 50 here, all that.
But here's the thing.
The education starts to build.
You know, five minutes ago,
you didn't know that this was worth $35.
Guess what happens four months from now
when you go to a garage sale
and there's 50 of these in a bag for 10 bucks?
Didn't go straight for the toys?
Not yet.
Mugs, always the mugs.
I like mugs.
See, you get into a place like this Heineken hat.
That's a big one.
You like this?
I do like that.
$8.49, what the ****, Toronto?
Why are these hats so goddamn expensive?
I'm pissed right now.
This is, again, this is where a garage sale
is like 25, 50 cents a hat.
And Toronto's trying to get ridiculous on us here.
You don't really move into sneaker stuff, right?
I would love to, but like, I don't know it.
Can I go shake his hand real quick?
GaryVee.
Yo.
How you doing, man?
Good, brother.
Nice to meet you, man.
Can I get a picture with you?
You can.
Nice to meet you, man.
Pleasure to meet you, man.
Have a nice day.
You're a good guy, man.
Thank you, brother.
That's GaryVee.
The thing that I really want
that I'm not into yet is T-shirts.
Why?
T-shirts kill me, brother.
It's all pop culture.
It's why the whole, it's why B-Friends come so much.
$6.49 for 20.
Holy ----, this could be worth $14, sold.
What's it for?
Because with the fees and everything,
but it's right on that border.
But again, that one's sold for $13.99.
You can list this for $22.
The hardcore Ryan Adams fan buys it for taking it.
You can see like right away,
like we're not doing as well here.
This tells me like this is like a understood location.
Like this location feels as though
there may be more flippers that come through.
Why?
Feels like I don't see as many things available.
You know what I mean?
Yep.
Board game's a big thing?
It can be.
Got a winner here, Neiman.
Condition matters for board games.
Yeah, matters for everything.
You're looking for vintage games?
Yeah, 1976 Coyoters.
1976 Coyoters, $21.
So you see a range from eight to 21.
If you're willing to have it sit in your house,
you'll get your price.
When people see eight and 20, cool.
Like if you want to sell it quick, you go for eight.
If I bought that for $1, maybe I'd go 15, get it out.
But if I buy it for five, **** it, put it for 20.
Plus Christmas is coming.
All of a sudden, maybe that's 25.
Oh, thank you.
11.28 on two board games, vintage.
55.65 bucks all day.
24.73.65, ************.
♪ Yeah, laugh it to the bank like ♪
I can tell you already,
it's not going to be a good garage sale.
Let me tell you why.
Because of the sign.
It means these people do garage sales all the time.
I promise when we go right now,
it's going to feel more like a flea market
than a garage sale.
But we'll see.
Hello.
Hello, hi.
Hi, how you doing?
Is it more like a garage sale?
What are you looking for?
How much?
You do $20 for the pins?
I don't think so.
No?
Why not?
Because it's too many.
I tell you what.
What?
$30 is all yours.
But there's over 30 here.
That's what I'm saying.
$30 is all yours.
There's too many here.
There's not, I mean, not enough here.
I tell you what.
25 bucks.
I can't go no lower.
You got 25 bucks on you?
Somebody has 25 bucks.
$5 here, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.
There you go.
You don't have it?
There's got to be a bank close.
Took us a few minutes to get the cash,
but boy oh boy, you have no idea what just happened.
People don't understand that pins are insane.
It'd be $25 for all these pins.
I cannot wait to show Nima the first one.
First pin, $4.
This is the fun part for you.
This is the best part for me.
It's gonna end up being 10 bucks.
US versus Germany World Cup pin.
25.
Get your money back.
If you bulk all 63 of those
and they're averaging from five to seven,
let's just say 63 at seven, that's 424.
This is easily $250 in a bulk set
that somebody takes if they're into pins.
$25, 250.
That's good.
When you're not getting enough engagement
so you have to get creative
or when you want to teach people how to fish.
The best part of being on the receiving end of cynicism
is when it's not true.
If I was doing that post to get 80 likes or 8,000 likes,
well then there's nothing to tell.
There's no reply to talk about.
I can't be mad at somebody who's trying to razz.
I gotta love them.
The reason the world's struggling right now
is fear and hate on fear and hate
just leads to fear and hate and fear.
Like where's love in the equation?
