Thrift Hunters

Thrift Hunters is a new television program premièring on January 18, 2014 that features eBay sellers Jason Smith and Bryan Goodman as they thrift for their eBay stores.

I enjoy watching a number of thrifting-related shows including but not limited to the American and the Canadian Pickers, Cash With Cari, Flea Market Finds and The Toy Hunter.

The addition of a new program is always welcome as I continue to work on developing the knowledge required to run a successful eBay business.  I welcome the chance to see Jason and Bryan, whose online activities I have followed for a year or more, in action on my television screen although to be honest, I have not checked yet to see if my cable package includes Spike. I sure hope that it does!

Anyway, here's a peak at a Thrift Hunters episode called "A Garage Sale on Steroids."



This sale reminds me of the sprawling Great Glebe Garage Sale that is held every year here in Ottawa come rain or shine. on the fourth Saturday in May, which means the 2014 sale will be held on May 24.

I look forward to the return of garage sale season and to the première of Thrift Hunters on January 18, 2014.

Olympic Basketball Expected To Go Home To The United States

 

Deflated. Lumpy. Old. All words used to describe this BERG basketball.

American Basketball enthusiasts will be watching with interest when it comes up for auction this week in New York. It is, according to the Ottawa Citizen, the only Olympic gold-medal game ball that isn't owned by someone in the United States.

This basketball is from the Canada versus United States 1936 gold-medal basketball game at the Berlin Olympics. The United States won the game that day but it looks like the Canadian who carried this ball home or at least his family will be a winner when this ball is sold for an estimated $150,000.

See you

at the auctions!
