ChristineR: any examples you can link to of what you mentioned (children’s series books)? Would love to see what you think is worth picking up.
SoCalJoe told me to look out for bibles and he was right. I just sold a vintage Torah for $35.00 that I got an estate sale for about 1.00 or less. And I have sold several bibles in the last few months.
Here is the one from today: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163113472767

Thanks Jay, again for all your support.
JUST SHARING
Just sold a very interesting booklet and wanted to share. I had it on auction for a long time (relisted it several times over) and it just sold for $45.95 (free shipping). I got it for free along with a ton of other books that have been selling over time. The only reason for auction was that I was using my free listings, no other reason.

The fastest way I learned to get a translation (and I learned this little trick here on the forum) is to go to https://www.reddit.com/r/translator/
I have used it several times and found it very helpful. People usually respond rather quickly. I cannot say if it is reliable but it seems to be.
Well done Steve! What an amazing find. Good things come to good people.
Thank you to everyone for the sold shares, very inspiring and helpful.
How about yearbooks? I heard NO on that.

@ Apeture, Wow!!!! Great T-shirt find example. Keep us posted on the outcome.
Selling Cool Things: Thank you for your input. Do you have any examples of the type of Tshirts that go well for you? Links to listings would be great!
Fireguy21: Well done! Would love to see your listings once they are up! And great cleaning tip!
Well done Habnab! Takes guts and goodness to do as you are doing. He is blessed to have such friends.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is incredible. Very well done!
Excellent news! Bless you all for helping him.
I don’t know if what I have to say will help at all but I did see this a couple of times. Also I worked in the drug addiction field for many years so I know that when it comes to addiction, intervention has worked many times to help bring the person around. Intervention can happen in many forms: sometimes it is contrived and sometimes it just happens naturally. Getting arrested, going to jail, family cutting you off, losing your job, a professional interventionist hired to take you to rehab, are some examples of intervention.
In the case of the few hoarders I have seen, two were forced to move and one had died. The forced move was effective in dealing with the hoard but upsetting for the hoarders and everyone else.
The first time I saw a hoarder’s nest was at a yard sale where she was forced to move out, she had about 5 or 6 people there helping her to get rid of stuff. She was there while the sale was going on and to her credit she was doing ok but her helpers were really working hard and fast! It was a mess! Her apartment (with garage space) was close to the beach so the mold was overwhelming. I am sure she could have done it on her own and it required an intervention with several people there to hold the lines.
Another time, an eviction situation, the house was so full you had to move stuff outside just to get to the next item. I believe the hoarder was a drug addict based on a few clues left behind. She was a smoker too so it was really stinky. From what the neighbors said, the hoarder had tried to break into the house several times after she was kicked out, and I suspect she had drugs in there she was looking for. As Liz said, it was overwhelming and very upsetting. I was there for four hours and even though I had the opportunity to return, I just couldn’t face it. But that does bring up the point again that being forced to move was the intervention.
Anyway, just my two cents and again, I don’t know if this is helpful at all but I hope it is.
Thanks Fireguy21! And thanks for the spell check on my listing. LOL!!!
Thanks TSatt!
