Ok here's the deal with old bottles, very general guidlines
MOST bottles made after about 1910 are worth recycling. If you look on the side, there's a seam. If the seam runs to the top, its machine made. LIKELY little value. Bottles made in a mold and hand blown are much more scarce, as a machine outpaced hand blown by x1000.

Older bottles can range from $3 for a very common, to $50,000 for a super rare histic flask depending on color, rarity, condition, ect. If you have something you think may be good, post a pic at antique-bottles.net or check a pricing guide at a book store/library such as Kovels.

Most people don't know bottle collecting even exists but there are a lot of collectors and a lot of money in it.

Got an old lady unit full of totes and was super disappointed when most of them turned up Xmas stuff. The last thing to be pulled out was a dresser pushed up against the back. In a drawers was bags of jewelry.

Scumbag jeweler tried to tell me the stuff in the middle that wasn't stamped was costume jewelry and that he would "take it off my hands for $85". This is when I decided to buy my testing acids and diamond tester. yup 18K, sometimes foreign or old gold isnt stamped.

Middle box is silver, rest is gold

This was one of my favs. A Pretty Boy unit, this kid had to be into dealing drugs or something
Paid $400 for this unit, not a lot of competition because it was in the hood and isnt known for quality units.
Everything was like MINT

All I could see from the front was a couch/loveseat combo which turned out to be Ashley 17% leather still had the tags on them and managed to score $550 on Craigslist. http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g296/oodles67/?action=view&current=IMAG0528.jpg

Table was flawless

Hello Forum
Im new around here but have been buying units for the last 8 months. About 25 units in total from top/bottoms to my first 10x40 last week.
Heres a quick synopsis of my most memorable units

I had been Ebay for almost 10 years and sold anything I could get my hands on, starting around the house and then got into picking, and hitting store liquidations. Made a few thousand on Drugfairs closing, last day open everything was 99% off.  Anyway I needed a fresh supply of merch to sell so I got into storage auction.

Ive since gotten into Craiglisting, amazon, yard sales, and soon ill be renting a few booths in an indoor flea market.

First unit ever! It was actually the first auction I had ever been to, but came ready to buy.  Cost $500 packed with most of a household due to divorce

Right off the bat I pulled out an Electrolux Vacuum, guess no one knew these sell used for $300
Korg x3http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g296/oodles67/?action=view&current=Untitled-2.jpg $550
Peavey Amp
100+ Dvds and Games
Some nice furniture

This was upsetting http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g296/oodles67/?action=view&current=IMAG0032.jpg

Digging through some clothes I felt something heavy and pulled out a jewelry box
Mostly scrap about $500 worth but this needed some research

I did some googling but couldnt find the exact model. BC it was in a gold filled case I wasn't sure if it was worth putting the cash into having it cleaned, the crown and stem replaced, and a new strap. Ended up taking the risk and paid $150.
After bringing it all over and getting offers ranging from $25 to $300 I just decided to try Ebay and let it ride. Started it at $499 and hoped for 1 bid. checked back in last second and watched it jump from 600 to 800 to $1200. FOR A GOLD FILLED WATCH!!! Had to ship to Singapore but that a whole nother story.

I WAS HOOKED
