The What Sold Podcast

In this episode of 'What the Old Podcast,' hosts Brandon Doble and Matt Brock, known as the 'Merchant of Madness,' discuss the aftermath of a devastating event in Western North Carolina, focusing on the ongoing recovery efforts. The conversation shifts to the local impact, such as altered traffic patterns and relief work. They also touch on the psychological impact, likening it to 'PTSD' from the disaster. Matt shares his recent sales, including unique and valuable items like a Bavarian tea set and a geode, to illustrate the importance of in-depth research in reselling. They emphasize the importance of specializing in particular niches and diligent research to become successful resellers. The episode concludes with a focus on Halloween collectibles, particularly vintage postcards and decorations, and ends with advice on promoting kindness during stressful times. 00:00 Introduction and Current Situation in Western North Carolina 02:33 Personal Experiences and Community Impact 04:13 Traffic and Infrastructure Challenges 06:48 Community Support and Donations 09:17 Transition to Reselling Discussion 09:33 Reselling Highlights: Teacups and Saucers 15:57 Researching and Identifying Valuable Items 19:32 Unearthing Hidden Treasures: Arrowheads, Geodes, and More 20:16 The Thrill of Treasure Hunting: From Beaches to Tasmania 20:44 The Journey to Tasmania: Planning and Possibilities 22:31 Exploring Native American Memorabilia 24:17 The Value of Specialization in Collectibles 26:00 Halloween Collectibles: A Market Overview 27:24 The Allure of Vintage Halloween Postcards 29:39 Collecting and Selling Halloween Memorabilia 39:13 Crafting and Selling Seasonal Items 40:43 Final Thoughts and Positive Vibes
