Okay, Bola Buddies, it is time for a dad-planet collaboration video. Hey, Bola Buddies, thanks for watching. On my little pony. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Okay, Bola Buddies, it is time for a Goodwill Benz Thrift with Me. Oh my goodness, I was there almost five hours. I spent over $100, which is why this is going to be a three-part series. I did meet dad-planet up there. This is his channel. Definitely go and subscribe to him and wait until you see the item that he found. Incredible, unbelievable. In the near future, I am going to have some videos. I took a friend of mine to the Goodwill Benz and she is not a reseller. So those videos are going to be fun. I had her actually source for me. I had her shop the Benz for me and I listed those items. And I'm going to show you guys what she picked up and what I sold. So that video is coming soon. I've already sold three items that she found. All right, let's get started. Okay, there are some really fantastic finds in this video. This is going to be a three-part video because I found so much stuff. Just incredible day at the Benz. They were bringing out the Benz quickly and you'll see just lots and lots of good stuff. I am a hard goods girl. I tried to stay away from the clothing. But today I was in the bags section and look at what I find here in just a second. A little coach wristlet. Now is this huge money? No, I did put this over on Mercari. I've got that listed at $30 with free shipping. Dad Planet just found a vintage purse. Incredible find. I would have rather have found that. But the little coach wristlet, I wasn't sure if it was real. So I did reach out to my friend Rachel Strickland and I popped up her screenshot earlier. Definitely go subscribe to her channel. She has a couple videos where she helps you identify if coach purses are authentic and also Louis Vuitton and she actually shows you what to look for. I know in my Facebook group those questions come up all the time. How do I know if this is real? Well, check out her videos because they will help you know if your item is real. But I did check with her on that wristlet and she did say yes, it was real. So pretty excited about that little find because it didn't weigh very much. It's $1.89 a pound at our Benz locally. There's a new Benz actually 45 minutes in the other direction from me and I don't know how much it is per pound there. I have not been up to that one yet. So if you guys want me to go check out that Goodwill Benz, let me know in the comments. I think it's cheaper. Okay, so we're just going to kind of go through here. I'm not cutting out any of the footage because I know sometimes I miss things and I feel like you guys can teach me, help me learn of things that I'm missing. And when you put those in the comments, it helps other people learn as well. So I did spend some time in the bags and I found a few things. This here is a crown royal flask and I was like somebody might want that. So I did go ahead and grab that. The screenshots that you will see popped up are my eBay listings. So those items are available currently in my store. None of these items have been up very long because I rushed to get everything listed and get this video put out so we could get this video put out for you guys. Okay, some of the items in my cart there. Oh my goodness. You are going to see footage of that in another video. I found so many fabulous plush items. I do a lot of plush and toys. Dad Planet is more, he likes like electronics, hard goods, clothing, shoes, hats. I love toys. I like vintage Christmas. So we definitely source differently. So you're going to learn a lot from his channel that you may not learn from my channel.  I will have him linked down in the description of the video. And also please sub up Rachel Strickland. She will be linked down below also. I know she is getting super close to 10,000 subscribers. So super excited for her. All right. Now we are going to talk about some different things that I source and why I source them. A lot of people pass by plush and I do say that plush can be long tail, which means it takes a little bit longer to sell. You find this cute little hair thing. So it's one of those like rubber band type things that you put in your hair. These are little puppets. I just, I like toys. I think they're fun to list. They're easy to list and they are super easy to ship. And they are plentiful at the bends.  And those definitely add up. And I did meet a viewer, the Tea Garden. So shout out to her. It was super nice talking to you and that was her Instagram. So go follow her on Instagram. All right. So just really dig in here. This little section, not finding a whole lot. But again, I'm going to leave the footage in. I had a few people say that they like just watching people dig. So that's what we're going to do here. I do look at all the toys. Sometimes I will flip them over and I will look at the brand. And if it's not a brand that I'm familiar with, I will look it up and decide if I want to get it or not. Loveys. That is called a lovey. That is a security blanket. Pretty much any security blanket I'm going to pick up because somebody is going to lose it and the parent is going to need to find it. So that's when those older retired styles come in handy. These plates, I did look those up. They didn't comp out super high. So I went ahead and put those back in the bin. If you want to learn more about loveys, the rebel reseller recently did a video on high dollar lovey security blankets to be on the lookout for it. That is the rebel reseller. Definitely go and subscribe to her. She is incredible. All right. Let's see what else we have here. I think in this video, there are two things that I already sold, which is crazy because literally these items have been up less than a week. So anytime something sells in less than a week, that's super exciting. I did pick up these. There were two of them. One was still sealed. One was not anything new old stock. I'm going to pick it up even if it comps out low because it's really easy to list. Most of them have a barcode and they just will typically sell. So new old stock, I pick it up and you'll see what I'm talking about. There's quite a few items that I picked up today that are new old stock that don't comp out very high. I am fine with listing bread and butter items. To me, bread and butter is anything that I sell for $35 or less. I did pick these up. They comped out really well. I got them home. I had my husband plug them in and they did not work. So unfortunately, those went into the trash can. He's like, you can part it out. I'm not partying it out. I already threw them away. So that was a complete bummer because when I looked those up at the bins, I thought, yes, home run because they probably cost me like 50 cents. Okay, I found this and I was kind of excited. I thought that, you know, it was going to comp out pretty good. It said Disney. It said Pandora and comps are not that great. So I am going to list that one on Poshmark because sometimes you can price up a little higher on Poshmark and Disney, Pandora. I just feel like it might fit into that Poshmark market more than eBay. I could be wrong, but that's what I'm going to do. All right. So just kind of looking through the bags. Again, a lot of people just go straight for the bags and when the bags come out, they are so packed that I shy away. I did pick up this G-pad.  My sale has not kicked in on that yet. But just a new with tags. G-pad thought it was pretty cool. So yeah, that is on sale now. The comp was not up yet. Not the comp, the sale price, sorry. If you can find straw hats that are nice quality and a good brand, definitely pick those up. They do very well. I learned that from Butterfly Hustles and I have sold so many straw hats. That one I did not pick up. Now this one, oh my goodness. This comps out between $30 and $60 depending on the style, but it had little owls on it. So I'm going to keep that one for myself for now. I may sell it down the road. I did pick up this little pencil pouch, just a bread and butter item. That was hanging on something else. Put that back. All right. I think there's one more bag that I grab. Oh, I did get this little 31. Again, another new old stock item. There were not any listed, so I am going to run an auction on that. Anytime I find an item and there are no comps, I will start the auction at what I hope to get for the item. And most of the time my auctions do not sell because I do that. But what that's going to do is eliminate me from pricing that item too low and underselling it because if I price it at an auction and there is a demand for it, it's going to get a lot of bids. If not, I'm just going to relist the item at a buy it now or best offer. And I typically run a sale, so I will price my items a little bit higher, run a sale, and then I'm always sending offers to buyers, watchers, likers, depending on which platform it is. I always do that. And I have best offer on all of my items. I did pick up this belt. I got it home and it was not in as good of condition as I thought, so I ended up just donating that. So that was a bad buy. It happens. It said Made in Italy. It looked really nice. It was reversible, but the leather was like pulling away in one area. I'm about to show you a Vera Bradley green quilted bag, which was pretty nice, but then I got up to the strap area with some damage, so I did leave that behind. But I probably would have picked that up just because of the green. I just thought it was really vibrant and pretty. And yeah, Vera Bradley can do OK. Some people love it. I'll pick it up here and there if the price is right. All right, I do find a backpack. I just can't remember when I found it. I'm doing the voiceover right now. I will look at hats right here. This is the backpack. I think it is super cute. I did run that through the washing machine because there were some like stains marks. It cleaned up pretty good. There's a couple small areas.  So I'm hoping to get between 30 and 40 bucks out of that, hopefully. And I am going to show you some footage from Dad Planet's body cam. He wears one of those GoPro's and he found one of the most amazing items. I just could not even believe my eyes. I thought I got footage of him showing me, but I didn't. So I'm like, send me some footage from your body cam. So he did. So I'm going to show you that, but just stay tuned. It's so exciting. I am going to make you go over to his channel for further details because it's just incredible. But I'm going to dig a little more first. Let me know in the comments if you guys see anything that I missed. I did look in this bag because I'm like, hmm, what's that? Nope, I have not found any money at the bends. I did find two nickels the other day. So what do you guys do when you find money? I know that a lot of people will just go to the bags and search them for money. It's just incredible. And they actually find money.  Like if you're not the first person there and waiting, like you're just, you're going to be squished. So I stand back and wait and go in after everybody's done. Okay. So this is footage from Dad's Planet's body cam. And I'm just going to let you guys watch here. He showed me this and I was just like, of course you found that. I bet the lady across from him was like, oh my goodness. I was over in the hard goods when he found it. Like I said, I stay away from the bags when everybody's bombarding them. Look what he found. Look now, wait until you see what's inside. You're going to have to go over to his channel to see what he pulled out of this wallet. This is a designer Louis Vuitton wallet. Incredible. I mean, just laying in the bins. So to see what he found in the wallet, go check him out. He's linked down below. Okay. So I did just show you my listing for it. I think it was, was it a Bratz? I think it was like an accessory to a doll. And it actually is a harder to find accessory. I think I'm going to do pretty good with that. I do have it up for auction right now just to kind of feel out the market. And again, if it doesn't sell, I will just relist it at a buy it now with the best offer. These shoes were kind of funky. I was trying to figure out if they're like man sandals or like a dress shoe or what they were. If anybody knows, let me know in the comments. This right here is from the nineties. And I figured out what doll it goes to. There was only one listed on eBay. So I'm going to try and auction that as well. Hoping maybe I'll get a bidding war of like the two people in the world that have that doll. Maybe both of them will want that shirt. I don't know. We'll see. Anytime I find cross stitch kids, especially new old stock kids, I am going to pick those up. So I left the one that was open behind and I grabbed this one right here. So pretty excited about that one. It was Christmas themed, so hopefully it'll sell during the Christmas time. Now I found two of these dinosaurs. They go to some sort of building block thing, but I can't figure out which one. I'm guessing they're just like a generic, but not having any luck finding those. So I have not listed those yet. If they're a knockoff, I will not list them. I'll probably just throw them in a toy box or something like that.  I did list that. This is a, I believe it's vintage, but I wasn't sure. It's a Cleveland Browns Magnetic Bottle Opener. And you can see here they are bringing out a new bin. So I leave where I'm at and I head on over because I want to be the first one digging in. Now this bin was stuffed and I like the small toys. So I'm pretty excited about this. But it ended up being a lot of McDonald's toys. Now this is an American girl pup, puppy dog plush. So that was a good find. But as I'm going through the McDonald's items, I see some of the transformers. And I will pick up the changeables. I think that's what they're called. They're McDonald's changeables transformers. And I had some in my cart and I think Dad Planet had two or three that he gave me. But he was looking for another vintage McDonald's toy. And I'm going to let him tell you about that on his video. But I found a few of those and handed those to him. So we were both looking for different things. Both of them are Bolo McDonald's toys. So definitely check out his video to see which items those were. So those are my transformers that I ended up finding. I wish I would have found more. But this is a listing that I sold not too long ago. So they definitely do sell and are a nice Bolo item. The one screenshot that I just popped up of the sold that I believe I picked up at a garage sale. It was in a video for I think four bucks. So definitely good. Everybody was digging in these toys. That was a little Teletubby McDonald's toy. I might throw that in a lot. There were some toys that I pick up and I'm going to make some toy boxes. I'm thinking about maybe doing some whatnot with some of the toy boxes. That is a little cool little I think it was Wendy's hat. I just thought it was kind of fun. So I went ahead and pick that up. Let me know in the comments. Do you sell McDonald's toys? And if so, which ones? Now I did find something else as I was digging in here. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm drawing a blank right now. Hold on. I got to wait for the screen share to pop up to remember what they're called.  That's what they're called. Well, I did not realize that some of them are harder to find and actually sell for a decent amount on their own. Yeah, it's kind of incredible. So stay tuned for that. This right here is a new old stock item. So it's got the barcode $10, you know, I might get for that, but it's so easy to list and easy to ship. So I did grab that. I talked to you guys earlier about new old stock items. All right, we're going to keep digging here. All these toys, would you guys have grabbed all of these McDonald's toys or would you have been selective? It's funny. I recently took my friend who is not a reseller to the Benz with me and I had her source for me. So that video is also coming soon, but she picked up some McDonald's toys and I was like, oh great, some McDonald's toys. I know what you guys, they sold super fast. So stay tuned for that in an upcoming video. There's also going to be a couple, two or three other videos that I did with her of us sourcing together and it was super fun. But she actually left with a cart full of stuff for herself because I'm like, she's going to be so bored. I'm going to have her source a bag of stuff for me. And she was not bored. I was lucky to get a bag of stuff from her. So that was a fun video, me going through the bag of everything she got. I've actually at this point in time already sold three items that she purchased and I don't think I showed those mini brands. I think maybe it's towards the end of the video that I show those. Okay, so I saw this purse and it was full of stuff and I kind of got excited. I thought they were going to be really cool vintage buttons, but it was actually just somebody's button collection.  So I left those behind. I did see somebody digging through them later on. And they were actually picking out items. I don't know if they were going to resell them or what. This here was a nice surprise. I actually sold this for $13 and it sold in less than a week, probably a couple of days. It was incomplete. There were only six of the shark pads in there. This is really cool. It's a Ralph Lauren eyeglass case. Really, really nice condition. Really excited about that one. Hoping it does pretty well. Comps weren't too bad. This is a Starbucks glass like water bottle tumbler. Really nice. I think it said San Francisco if I remember correctly. All right. I know I start talking about something and then I get sidetracked with something I pick up. So I apologize for that. But I want to give you guys as much detailed information as I possibly can as we are digging here. I know that Noelle Farm Girl Scavenger sold a Bubba keg that she got out of the bends. Do you guys remember Bubba kegs? And I actually saw one. I don't know if it was this trip or another trip, but it did not have the lid. But I was going to grab that Bubba keg. I had a Bubba keg when I was younger in my younger days. So funny. I can't remember what she sold it for, but she sold it for a nice profit. All right. I did, I put that back. I looked up comps that did not comp out well. So a lot of times when I'm at the bends, I don't check comps. I just grab it, fill my cart and go. If it's a heavier item, sometimes I'll look it up. It just really depends on how much time I have, the time I want to spend there. If I want to go to another thrift store, if I want to get home and list and actually get something done. So a lot of variables there. Now I did look up the VHS tapes. Some blank VHS tapes do really well. Some do not. I ended up putting those back. One thing that I do well with is cassette tapes, blank cassette tapes. This guy right here did not end up working. So what I did is I took off his battery cover and I am going to sell that as a replacement piece. This is just a little photo album. But a lot of times I'll do that with toys. If I pick them up and I, they don't work. I want to make a little bit of my money back. Is it big money? No, it's going to be a major bread and butter. It's going to be a long tail item, but it only takes me a minute or two to list those items. So I don't know. It's kind of fun to see if it'll sell. I'm one of those people where I'm like, I just want to see if I can get this to sell. That was a little Tykes phone, which might have been a good pickup, but it was, I think it had like two marks on it. So I left that behind. This right here, oh my goodness, it's an amazing little plush and it's Nintendo Yoshi. So that was a nice find. This here, these are the bigger mega blocks. But this actually plays music, which I thought was pretty cool. So what I ended up doing was parting that out. It was incomplete. So the best thing I can do to get the most and maximize my profits is to part that out. And you will see me do that often with toys. Sometimes I just get in the mood to part things out. Some people think I'm wasting my time and other people love it. So let me know what you think about parting items out. I did pull that little guy off of that hat. I did not want the hat. You will see me if I find a dollhouse that's in bad condition and incomplete. I will pull off the windows and stuff like that. I do really well with items like that. Some people don't agree with that, but what I have been told is once that bin goes back, the items that are still in that bin go to the dump. So if I can save anything from going to the dump, I might as well, right? Small toys. I grab them all. That was a little John Deere push car. I think I'm going to put that in a toy lot or a toy box, I call it, and sell it that way. But a lot of the toys I sell individually, if you go over to my channel and you watch my what sold videos, you will see how many toys I sell.  Definitely check out my what solds. I think they will surprise you. And if you already follow my channel, you guys know what I'm talking about. I did look those up. I found, I think, two different ones that day. I put one back and I kept one. Again, they are blank media, but those were CDs. So barcode, easy list, look them up. The CDs are heavier, so you want to make sure that they comp out good. Otherwise, you might want to leave those behind. So different brands and different features of the item make them worth more. So a simple barcode search and make sure you are looking at solds and not actives. This right here, like said something freaky, I can't remember what it said. I think I zoomed in. You guys can probably read it, because I'm too close to the screen, but something like it was, don't eat out of this or something. Can you guys read it? I'll just let you read it. I was telling everyone, I'm like, look at this. Oh my goodness, look at this. It was creepy. All right, more McDonald's toys. That one was a Polly Pocket. I did grab that. Again, I'll probably throw it in a little toy box. I am going to do what not. I haven't done it yet. I do have a link down below. If you guys want to follow me on what not, you can join with that link and get a $10 credit to shop. And that $10 credit does not have, you don't have to shop with me. It can be with anyone on what not, but you do have to use that referral link to join to get that $10. But if you guys would follow me over there, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a state that I just cleaned out tons of craft items that I want to put on what not.  So I have all of these piles ready to go. I just got to figure out like the format and learning a new platform. And I've just been putting it off. So for you guys that have been waiting on me to have a show, I'm going to do it. I just haven't, I just haven't decided when yet, but I'm making my piles. I am making my money piles to list on what not. And I do have a video coming up soon where I'm going to show you guys all of my unlisted inventory that I have in one area of my house. I was like, I'm not doing this. And then I'm like, yes, I am. And I'm like, you better not. I did it. It's in a video and it's coming soon. So the before and after. Oh my goodness. The before was so bad. All right. Cute little pair of red eyeglasses. I've got those listed for frames only. I think I put those on Poshmark. So I do sell on eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari sometimes Etsy. I start my items on eBay and then I use list perfectly to cross post. So start on eBay and then cross post to the other platforms. If you guys want to check out how list perfectly works, I do have a demo video down in the description of the video. And if you like it, you can use coupon referral code BOLOBUDDYS all one word to get 30% off your first month. That little dog did not work. So I am going to sell that little bottle accessory around its neck. And it has like a color changing top that tells if the animal is a boy or a girl. It was kind of cool. I did some research on it to figure out what it was and decided that somebody might want that color changing bottle. That'd be kind of cute for like a baby shower, like a reveal or something. A lot of times with small toys, I put cake topper in the title. That's another great thing to do. Okay, you guys, here are these many brands. Okay, there is a pack. These are my listings. And just incredible. These are older ones and they're retired, but that mayonnaise, oh my goodness, does pretty good. These Q-tips, look at the sold prices for this one little Q-tips. Oh my gosh. It's crazy. I think I said, oh my gosh, instead of all my goodness. Little Duplo Lego. So again, I love small toys. I think they're fun. They entertain me. They make me happy. And I just enjoy selling toys. So you will see a lot of toys and plush and stuff like that on my channel. But I do other things as well. Vintage, hard goods. I did pick up these letters. Missing one letter. And this guy sold within a couple of days. It's a Boy Scout teddy bear. So that was pretty cool. And it was only 10 bucks. Now these, this one was a McDonald's toys. If you find the vintage actual, I think they're called like Tomagotchi or something like that.  When I first picked that up, I'm like, is it? But it was just a McDonald's toy. So I left it behind. All right. What do you guys think? You've got to check out the other videos from this same day. I spent over $100. I actually spent 70 the first round.  I ate a nutrition bar because I forgot to eat breakfast. And then came back in and spent I think another 30. So Dad Planet was over in the plush. I'm like, get away from here. This is my area. You are not allowed at the plush. No, I'm totally kidding. I did pick up this little, this is one of those little pups and it goes inside of another pup. I can't think of what the pups are called. So I just did that as a replacement. So here is everything I bought in round one. All right. So on this round, I spent $70. So in this video, that was half of the $70. Part two is in another video. And then I left, went to my car, dropped stuff off, ate a nutrition bar, came back in and shopped again. So that is a completely another video. So again, three parts for this series. Super fun. I love digging in the bends. It's, you know, I love garage sales, but I'm feeling like the bends are starting to be like my thing. Let me know in the comments your favorite place to source. Tell me how you found the channel and be sure to go over and subscribe to Dad Planet to see actually what was in that wallet. Thanks for watching.


The Sociology of Scientific Knowledge SSGate is the study of science as a social activity, especially dealing with the social conditions and effects of science, and with the social structures and processes of scientific activity. The Sociology of Scientific Ignorance SSI is complementary to the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge. For comparison, the Sociology of Knowledge studies the impact of human knowledge and the prevailing ideas on societies and relations between knowledge and the social context within which it arises. Sociologists of Scientific Knowledge study the development of a scientific field and attempt to identify points of contingency or interpretative flexibility where ambiguities are present. Such variations may be linked to a variety of political, historical, cultural or economic factors. Crucially, the field does not set out to promote relativism or to attack the scientific project. The aim of the researcher is to explain why one interpretation rather than another succeeds due to external social and historical circumstances. The field emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s and at first was an almost exclusively British practice. Other early centers for the development of the field were in France, Germany, and the United States, notably at Cornell University. Major theorists include Barry Barnes, David Bloor, Saul Restreau, Randall Collins, Gaston Boucher-Larbe, Harry Collins, Paul Thierabend, Steve Fuller, Martin Cush, Bruno Ature, Mike Volke, Derek J. DeSala Price, Lucy Suchman and Ernst Elm Strauss.


Mzansi shooted beyond belief at Mampincha's dramatic weight loss. Mzansi is in a state of shock and confusion after a video of a skinny Mampincha went viral on Thursday. In it, Mampincha is seen dancing to an infectious beat, with his hands in his pockets. He later takes them out to clap and do another move. It was not the dance moves that had the streets shook, but the state of the star. Fans were surprised at how thin the musician appeared to be and wondered if it was stress or urban life vibes. They flooded social media with speculation on the cause and asked if the new Mampincha was better than the old. Some said karma was dealing with the star, while others applauded him for shedding the kilos.


In this presentation we will take a look at the anthology dedicated to the Queen of the Night. The left dark feminine archetype is the fourth anthology by the temple of ascending flame. Like other books released by the temple, it includes a series of essays and rituals and in this video we will discuss the list of contents and show sample pages and images from the book. This anthology brings together essays, rituals and unique artwork dedicated to the Queen of the Night and the Dark Goddess of the Cliff of. Denied and rejected, worshipped and venerated, Ledev has been a part of the western culture for ages. Viewed both as the beautiful seductress and the ruthless demon, she is the serpent in the Garden of Eden, the first woman and the primary initiatrix into the mysteries of the dark side of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Her rites are the works of love and pain, sex and transgression, transcendence and immanence, for she exists at the roots of all desire of all humans, past, present and future. This archetype has never been fully grasped in its profundity and is constantly unfolding, challenging us to recognize our fears and passions and to transform them into tools of power. In this book you will find personal accounts of practitioners who ventured into the sacred and a holy garden of the Dark Queen of Sitra Ara and returned transformed and empowered by her noses. Spells and invocations, dream magic and guided meditations, visions and stories of intimate encounters with Ledev. All this is contained in this unique anthology, written from the perspective of the left hand taff and the draconian tradition. Ledev is probably the most famous of all female demons in the western esoteric tradition.  In feminist ideology she is a symbol of a proud and independent woman who stands in her power. In psychology, she is an inner impulse within the subconscious mind of each human being. All these roles and many more are ascribed to Ledev in myths and legends and we can find them in ancient Sumerian accounts as well as in modern books of magic and works on female psychology. Many of them are also explored in this book, accompanied by artwork showing her chosen masks and sigils that go with the rituals included here. So what can we find in the list of contents? The book starts with the introduction, then we have a poem, Sea of Ecstasy, followed by an essay, Mathers and Brace. Then we have Fire and Lust, Lilith and the dual nature of the owl, the face of Lilith, the creative fire and invocation to Lilith, the hidden masks, the dark feminine and man's tale, the unholy grail, black moon Lilith, Selenic face of Lilith, journey into the womb of Lilith, Lilith queen of the hero space, Lilith Samuel and Leviathan, the inconceivable nature of Lilith, awakening the vampire within, the mother of abortions, the mask of Medusa and temple astrological correspondences.

And you know, you're not a nonprofit because if you were, you'd be doing more on the charitable side, the philanthropic side. And because you take this approach of running a business, you really do have to leave with the financial viability, how you're going to generate revenue. Because at the core, you're a business. Now, there are ways to make sure that you maintain that social impact. But I think that to be quite candid with you, when you're talking to investors, when you're talking to potential customers, you have to be able to show how you're a business first. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.  But you can run a successful business and create good impact. But you do have to focus on the business model because if you don't, you run the risk of not being able to maintain your business or track the investment you need to grow or scale. And then you're not helping anybody.


$31.25 for these items, and I sold them for $454.75. So for those of you that are like, I'm not selling bread and butter, watch this video. Watch this video. It's worth it. It's worth it. Bread and butter is totally worth it. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. Here's from my little pony. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. All right, this is a bread and butter bolo video. What on earth is a bread and butter bolo video? That is where I tell you items that I sourced super cheap and I sold them on eBay for $35 or less. I'm gonna tell you where I got the item, what I paid for it and what it sold for. And I sold these items on eBay. So let's get started here. I'm Courtney, also known as Bolo Buddies. Welcome to the channel. If you're new, I'd love for you to subscribe. And if you already know about the channel and you've been here a while, well, I appreciate you coming back. Let's get started. All right, so these were at the Goodwill Benz and I pulled them out of a, like it was like in a box or whatever the container was that heats them up. And I'm like, I'm just gonna take the rollers. So I thought I would try it and see if I could sell replacement rollers. I don't remember why I didn't grab the whole thing but they are Claryall Flocked Replacement Rollers and there were 20 of them here. And I got these for $1.89 a pound. So I'm guessing these are less than a pound. So probably a buck. And I sold these for $19.50 plus tax and shipping. And those numbers I gave you at the beginning, the $31.25 into $454.75, that $454.75 is this number right here. It does not include tax and shipping, okay? The next item are these Vintage Rubber Face Santa pencils. These did take a while to sell. They were damaged. They were sold as is. I don't even remember honestly. I don't remember picking them up. I have in my notes, I got them at a garage sale for a dollar but that's how long I've had them. Sometimes I can remember like which garage sale it was but I had these a while. I thought they were gonna be like a home run but I sat on them but they sold for $19.50 plus shipping. The next item is this little Vintage Puppleton Pig Plush Finger Puppet. I always, always, always pick up any type of puppet because they sell. This one is from 1999 by Mark Teague. I don't know what any of that means but I got it at a garage sale for 50 cents and I took a best offer of $15 plus shipping on this. This here was from the Goodwill Benz and in hindsight I should have left the actual box behind because the box was heavy and I paid more for it because I brought home the box. I ended up parting it out and these were like the main components that people are gonna lose like the dice and the cards and the instructions. So I put these together and then I just sold all the miscellaneous blocks together because honestly I was not gonna check to see if everything was there. It wasn't in a rubber band. I just feel like it probably was not complete. So I probably paid, I don't know, three or four bucks for this and I ended up selling just this for $16.25 plus shipping and I believe the bricks are still listed. This is a Starbucks glass water bottle and it says you are here, San Francisco. Now we all know that some Starbucks can go for big money. This one is not a big money bolo. It's a bread and butter. I got this also at the Goodwill Benz and I sold this for $16.25 plus shipping. This is a Nickelodeon shimmer and shine flying carpet. I have sold this before. So I do pick these up when I see them. This carpet actually moves. It is pretty cool. I've got a video down in my description that shows how it works and I sold this for $19.50 plus shipping. I believe I've sold the carpet by itself but if you have the dolls, that's definitely a bonus. So this is from shimmer and shine. It is a Nickelodeon cartoon, a garage sale dollar for that. So nice turn on my money there. These came from the Goodwill Benz and they sold super quick. You can use Google Lens to figure out what items are. Google Lens is a free app. I do have a video. If you type Bolo Buddies Google Lens into the YouTube search bar, it will pull it up and I'll show you exactly how to use it. Super easy and if you are a reseller, you need this app. Again, it's free. You just gotta download it or upload it or whatever you call it. So these were from the Benz. They are from the ABC Mouse Alphabet Train, A to Z. At first when I got it, I was like, oh no, it's like there's only 13 and that's not enough of the alphabet but they are two-sided. So I did have them all. So it was, I sold this for $23 best offer and the buyer was all in for $32.69 on those. The next item is this Blaze and the Monster Machine's Transforming Fire Truck with Lights and Sounds from 2015. I got this at a garage sale for $1. Anything Blaze and the Monster Machine I pick up, some of those little cars can do really, really well. There's one in particular, I always forget her name, is it Darla or Starla or something but she's a purple truck, a monster truck and you can get sometimes 25 to 40 bucks out of her depending on which one you get. Sometimes she looks like an elephant but definitely be on the lookout. Those are diecast. Garage sale dollar and it took a best offer of 15 plus shipping on this. This one right here is a battery cover. So sometimes when I go to the Goodwill Benz, I have bad buys, we'll call them. I get them home and I test them and they do not work. This one was pretty cool. It was a 1978 Parker Brothers Merlin handheld game but the game did not work when I put the batteries in it and I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna make my money back and I'm gonna do that by selling the cover, the battery cover and you guys, it sold super quick. I mean, I thought I was gonna be sitting on this thing for like 10 years.  Like they don't have it, they need it and I've got it. So it took me probably a couple minutes to list it. I'm making five bucks. Where else can you go and work for two or three minutes and make $5? I mean, yes, would I rather be listing an item that's gonna sell for 50 or 20 or 30 or even 10? Absolutely, but I wanted to make my money back and I wanted to prove to you guys that you can sell replacement parts. All right, the next item is this Build-A-Bear Workshop. It's a skate shirt with red shorts, got it at a garage sale for $1, took a best offer of $8.50 plus shipping. This is a Briar horse and I got this at a garage sale. I think I paid up for it a little more than I probably should have. I think that somebody had customized this, they painted it black. I don't, definitely not original and I just put that in the title custom. I don't know, but people will buy these and they will fix them up. This one was actually signed on the bottom. So I was kind of thinking, what if it's somebody like amazing or something like that? But no, nope, it was. And I probably ran an auction the first time just to feel it out. And then I put it on, buy it now with best offer. And it took a while to sell. I ended up selling it for a best offer of $17.10 plus shipping. So not one of my better buys. These right here are the Lancaster stamped quilt blocks and you will see these again in my big money Bolo video. The same person bought them, but I listed them a different way to make it a big money Bolo. So check out that video for information, more information on that. I'll save that little tip for you guys over there. But these right here sold for $31 plus shipping. It's a lot of two. These are vintage, harder to find. It's a certain pattern and it's probably discontinued and people look for these things. She also bought this one, which is the same pattern. And I ended up taking $10 and I gave her free shipping and I went ahead and shipped these together. So I did give her a discount on that. This here is another one where you guys are like, this woman is nuts, Playmobil replacement handle for the gray folding take-along house. The house was damaged and I was like, I'm gonna make some money on this. So I sold this handle for $7 plus shipping. This here I got at a thrift store and you guys, I honestly don't think it's supposed to be pink. See the tags pink? I said, item got washed with something red so it looks pink. So what it is as seen, but I was like, you know, somebody might want it to be pink, but then I look at the white right here and it's not white, it's still white. So I'm like, is it supposed to be pink or is it not? But look at the tag and look at the white on the back. It's really, really confusing, right? Because part of it's still white, so I really don't know. But anyway, maybe this white was a different material. Who knows? But it sold, it ended up selling. I paid a dollar for it at a thrift store, sold it for $9 and 30 cents plus shipping. And that was another one that I was like, this thing is gonna sit in my store forever. And it's from 1986. This here is a vintage country stitching cross stitch kit sampler. It's the Serenity Prayer and it's sealed. I got this at an estate clean out, so less than a dollar in this probably. Soda for a Best Offer of $21 plus shipping. This here is the Toy Story Talking Light Up Stuffed Alien Doll from Thinkway Toys. I do have a video down in the description that shows how that item works. And I got this at a thrift store for $1. Sold it for a Best Offer of $15 plus shipping. Now, when I opened it up, the battery compartment had some corrosion. So I always include that information. A lot of times I'll include a photo as well. Let me see if I did here. Yeah, I did. So you can just kind of see where it's not perfect right over here. So just include that info. Your items will still sell, but be completely honest with your buyer. Let them know that there's a condition issue. The next item is this vintage Lottie doll, baby summer set paper doll, but it's not really paper. It's like a cloth and you put it on this doll. It's got hook and loop right there.  Okay, use the word hook and loop. Just getting that habit. I got this at a garage sale for $1. And I sold this for $15 plus shipping. This next item is a vintage gunned Igor green huggable monster. It's just a little guy from 1992. Got it for a quarter, sold it for a best offer of $8 plus shipping and that came from a garage sale. These little cuties came out of a thrift store mystery box. And I believe if I remember correctly, they're just plastic, but they're made in Hong Kong and they are just adorable. So this right here and this bulldog, it's another hard plastic toy. So this is somebody that collects maybe dollhouse. They do dollhouse items. Who knows? I usually put dollhouse in the title for small figurines like this. And I think it helps me sell my items. The same person bought both of these. They bundled them for $26 plus shipping. These are a pair of vintage motorcycle riding gloves by Olympia. My husband got these at an estate, so I believe I want to say he probably paid $5 or less for them. And he doesn't believe in my white background. So this is his photo, which he just, he does a lot of watches and the wood background looks pretty cool. So we'll give them that, but I don't know.  What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments. I use photo room to white out my backgrounds. What I do is I'll take like 50 pictures and I'll batch them. So it just goes super quick. They do them all in a row. And I'll have a video on it. I've showed it in the past, but if you guys are interested in photo room, you can pay for a subscription for the year. I want to say it's like $59 or $69. It is totally worth it because it makes your pictures pop. And I do have a link down in the description and you can get, I think it's either, I think it's 10% off your, if you do the full year. So my referral links are all down below. And most of the time when you join with one of my links, you get something off. So definitely check them out down in the description. He sold these gloves for $25 plus shipping. This here is an I X O Y E. I'm not sure what that stands for, but it's the Jesus Fish Christian Patch logo. And I got this at a garage sale for a quarter. And I sold this for $15.50 plus shipping. It is a vintage patch. I do sell patches from time to time. A lot of times these get pushed to the side because they're small. They don't take up a lot of space and I just let them sit, but they will sell. So I try to focus on the bigger stuff, but then I just keep getting things added to my money pile. These right here, love it, love it, love it. Super fast selling item. These are the LeapFrog Fridge Farm Magnetic Animals complete replacement set. Pick these up at the bins. I was so excited when I saw them because I knew they were gonna sell quick and for decent money. I sold these for $18.60 plus shipping. The next item are these Reindeer. They're from the Duracell. It was like advertising thing that they did. They had their original tags, but none of them worked. And they're the kind that you can't replace the batteries. So if somebody wants to replace the batteries in these, they are gonna have to unstitch them and then stitch them back up, I think. I'm not really sure how they work. But anyway, they still sold. I got them at a garage sale for 50 cents each, so $1.50. I sold them for $15.50 plus shipping. So not my best buy ever, but hey, they sold, right? This guy sold super fast. I got him in the Goodwill Bins and he is Ken Barbie's friend. And he's got these cool yellow shoes and he's complete with his outfit. And right here, I always take a picture of whatever this says. This was 2016. I sold him for a best offer of $12. Buyer was all in for $21.02 for him. And again, he sold fast. Here's another item from the Goodwill Bins that weighs absolutely nothing. This is what it looks like on the bottom. It's the Cowardly Lion. And a lot of times I will put cake topper in the title. I did not do it this time. I used the keywords that were on the bottom. I sold this for $9.30 plus shipping. And that's from the Wizard of Oz there. This is a Bucilla Cross Stitch Lap Quilt Wall Hanging and it's the Princess Rose Pattern. This came from that same estate sale where I got all of the crafter's items and I sold this for $11 best offer plus shipping. This next item is a Hallmark Wonder Woman Lasso Christmas Ornament. This came out of, nope, I'm sorry. I was thinking it was a mystery box, but nope, I got it at a garage sale for $1. And I sold this for $11 plus shipping. The next item is this Pick Me Pop Surprise Pajama Llamas. And this one right here, I got at a garage sale for 50 cents, sold it for a best offer of nine plus shipping. Now, most of the time the surprise animals, that means that it's like an unboxing or a blind bag or whatever you call those things where the kids open them and it's a surprise on what they end up getting. Most of the time the items are harder to resell because the kids and the parents that are looking for those are looking for the new ones because they want that element of surprise. I wasn't really sure if this would sell, but it ended up selling quicker than I expected. So there is still some value in these, but it's usually a bread and butter unless maybe you find one of the rares. The next item is this little T-Cart.  And looking back, I took a ton of the smalls and I made a huge lot and I probably should have parted them out because they were just little items like a garden hose or whatever. And I'm learning about dollhouse furniture and some of it can go for crazy money. And it's those little pieces that sometimes go for more than the actual furniture. So I probably messed up on that. I'm guessing a reseller bought it and probably turned that into some big money. I remember I sold it for a decent amount. I didn't just give it away, but definitely be mindful of that just because it's small, sometimes it can be mighty. This ended up selling for $10 plus shipping. All right, you guys, that was my bread and butter bolos for this video. Again, $31.25 into $454.75. Thank you guys so much for being here. Which item surprised you the most? Which item would you not waste your time? I mean, be honest with me. Let me know in the comments like, I would not waste my time with that. Courtney, I would not waste my time with blank. Put it down in the description. I wanna hear what you guys have to say. Thank you so much. Please subscribe if you're new and if you've been here a while, thanks for coming back and I will see you guys at the next one. Thanks for watching.
