Flip your way to big bucks!

Garage sales are brimming with steals that are actually worth big bucks—and they’re probably not what you expected! We asked master flipper George Yung (Flippingincome. com) for the top hidden gems and the best places to resell ’em. Keep your eye out for

✔ DISNEY VHS MOVIES

Almost every garage sale has a box of movies for sale, says Yung. But set your sights on Disney VHS tapes, which have become bona fide collectibles. Look for covers that are in good condition, and if you find any sealed tapes, you’ve hit the jackpot! ■ Snag ’em: Pay 50 cents to $1 for a goodcondition tape. Offer $2 or $3 for a sealed tape. ● Flip ’em: Sell on ebay. Expect to get $15 to $20 per tape. Lucky enough to have found a sealed movie? They have an extremely high resale value and can sell for $40 to $200 each, says Yung.

✔ FISHER PRICE POWER WHEELS

Garage sale brimming with toys? Keep an eye out for Fisher Price Power Wheels— mini cars, trucks and ATVS that have batteries and motors. Make sure they have good batteries and battery chargers. ■ Snag ’em: Pay $10 to $20 for working ones that have good batteries. ● Flip ’em: Sell locally on Craigslist. Clean up the power wheel, give it a good charge and look to get anywhere from $40 to $60!

✔ VINTAGE PYREX BOWLS

“When you see a pile of old bowls, take a look at the bottom for a Pyrex stamp,” says Yung. “Not a sticker or ink but an actual stamp within the ceramic. Pyrex bowls were stamped between the 1920s and 1970s; the older the bowl, the more valuable it is.” Pick bowls that are in perfect condition—no chips or cracks. ■ Snag ’em: Pay $1 to $2 each, depending on the size. ● Flip ’em: Sell on Etsy or ebay. Nested sets can go for $40 to $50, while individual pieces will get you $5 to $20, depending on the size.

✔ OLD VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS

Look for complete Nintendo and Super Nintendo systems, Atari, Sega Genesis systems, Gameboys, complete with power cords, cables and controllers. Games available, too? They’re a bonus! ■ Snag ’em: Shell out $5 to $10 for the systems and haggle to get games included. If the seller has a lot of games, go for the bundle, offering 50 cents apiece (e.g., $10 for 20 games). ● Flip ’em: Sell on ebay. These vintage video game systems are rare and collectible, with complete game systems going for anywhere from $40 to $100. Some games alone will fetch $5 to $50!
