If you Need Spare Cash, or Want a Profitable Retirement Hobby
There’s a lot of money to be made buying and selling old stuff. I spent a few years inside the industry that takes trash and treasure seriously – and learned a lot about how some things are valued, what people like to collect, and why some people want to downsize, or get rid of old things.

This book is based on two parts:First, how to get rid of your own old things and get the best money for them if you want to take the time to do that. The second part is focused on how to identify the value and history behind either your own or other people’s old stuff.By understanding what you actually have and how others might value it, you can better sell it at the right time, for the best money and move on to other things.

If you are an avid collector, or seeking to start collecting something others might also want one day, you will be better prepared every time you visit a second hand dealer store – knowing what people want to buy, helps you to better sell.
