300 everyday items from the attic, garage and kitchen, room by room. One book shows you how to recognize them and what they actually sold for; the other shows you how to sell them without getting ripped off.
What it is, what raises or kills the price, and what it really sold for.
The complete Field Guide plus The Seller's Playbook. Everything from "what is this?" to "it's sold and shipped."
Walt's 10-minute checklist for attics, garages and kitchens.
“I wrote this so the next good thing in your garage doesn't end up at the curb.”
Every week someone tells me the same story. They cleared out a parent's house, hauled it all to the dump, and found out later that the rusty skillet, the box of ornaments or the old tin sign was worth real money. Nobody told them what to look for.
I'm not an appraiser and I won't pretend to be. I'm the fellow at the kitchen table who reads the sales records with you. Every dollar figure in these books comes from a real completed sale, with the month we checked it. When we couldn't verify a sale, we didn't print a number. We show you the five-minute search that finds it for your item.
Look before you toss. Check before you sell. And never take the first offer from someone who knows more than you do.
Read the mark. Check what it really sold for. Then decide.
Most people either throw old things away or sell them to the first person who asks. This guide teaches you to read a maker's mark in 60 seconds, then walks you through the kitchen, garage, sewing room, jewelry box, toy chest, Christmas boxes, bookshelf and furniture. For each of the 300 items you get how to recognize it, what raises the price and what kills it, where to sell it, and the exact search that finds real sold prices for yours. No made-up "worth up to" numbers.
Here's the real table of contents. Start with the room you're clearing out; you don't need to read it front to back.
The Attic-to-Auction Field Guide
The Seller's Playbook
Know your number before anyone asks for it.
Knowing what you have is half the job. The Seller's Playbook covers the other half: pricing with real comps, the 12 photos that sell, titles buyers actually search for, and step-by-step selling on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, at auction and at estate sales. Plus how to pack a fragile item so it arrives in one piece, the scams sellers fall for, and polite replies you can copy when a buyer lowballs you.
One book tells you what you're holding and what it really sold for. The other takes you from the first photo to the shipping box. Together they take you from "is this junk?" to "it's sold."
If the books don't help you, email us within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full. No forms, no hard feelings.
No. It teaches you how to identify items and find what they actually sold for. For a formal appraisal you need a qualified appraiser who sees the item in person.
Only from real completed sales: auction results, sold listings and dealer sold archives, each checked on a stated date. When we couldn't verify real sales, we don't print a number; we show you how to find real sold prices yourself.
