A highly reputable estate sale company is advertising the sale of items from a leather shop in Pleasanton, TX (about 30 minute drive south of San Antonio). https://www.estatesales.net/TX/Pleasanton/78064/3657234
Boxes of rattlesnake leather. Industrial machinery that I can't identify - sewing machines, riveters, etc. Other leather working items - thread, etc.
Lots of photos. Well worth a look.
You can easily create a free account on the EstateSales.net website and message the company to ask questions.

Found this super interesting. Jim passed December 7, 2022. I guess the family is holding an estate auction here in Heber City, Utah (near Park City). There's some great vintage and antique gear being offered. Jim Fosgate, car-audio pioneer and longtime Utahn, dies at 85 (sltrib.com)
THE FANTASTIC “FOSGATE” SALE in Heber City, UT starts on 5/18/2023 (estatesales.net)

I was browsing local estate sales online and spotted some gear. I don't recognize the logo on this turntable and there aren't better pictures. Does anyone know what this is?
I also spotted this turntable at another sale. I'm not sure what this is either.
I'm currently using a Technics SL-D2. Would either of these be an upgrade?

If Netflix DVD really closes on September 29th, 2023, if petitions are ineffective and if no one is able to offer an equivalent service, what other options are there? Even if it's not as good as Netflix DVD, do you know about any existing services (streaming or otherwise) that can help meet the movie-watching needs of former Netflix DVD users? If you do, write them in the comments below! I'll try to add suggested alternatives to this list when I get a chance.
Here is the list, last updated on 5/27/2023. Thanks to everyone here who contributed these ideas!

Disc Rental Options

Cafe DVD:
https://www.cafedvd.com/
Online DVD rental service with a monthly subscription or pay per rental. Over 60,000 titles from classics to recent releases. They have DVD and Blu-ray. Subscriptions start at $9.99 per month for two DVDs a month.
GameFly:
https://www.gamefly.com/browse/movies/movies-all
Rents video games mostly, but also movies. Similar model to Netflix DVD. You have a queue, and discs arrive in the mail according to how many you can have out at a time on your monthly plan. 2,312 movie titles. Movies-only plans start at $8.95 per month.
Redbox:
https://www.redbox.com/
Find a local Redbox kiosk where you can rent discs, one at a time, when you want them. Small collection, and seems to focus mostly on new releases. They have a limited streaming service too. Currently, Redbox is offering a discount code for this subreddit.
3D Bluray Rental:
https://www.store-3d-blurayrental.com/
Movies on Blu-ray (3D and 4K), but no DVD. They have 19,142 titles by my count, and will sometimes take requests to add new titles. They also have a small collection of PS4 & Xbox One games. Pay per disc rental, or get a subscription plan and choose how many discs you want out at a time. Plans start at $8.99/month.
Scarecrow Video:
https://blog.scarecrow.com/scarecrow-rent-by-mail/
Old-school video rental place (non-profit) in Seattle. They have a rental-by-mail program. Their service might not be very streamlined, but they have over 145,000 titles (more than Netflix at its peak!) So if you can't find a more obscure title on a different service, maybe you can rent it here.
Your local library:
The library lends movies on DVD. If they don't have what you want, ask if they can get it via Interlibrary Loan from another library.
Non-local libraries:
https://www.aworldadventurebybook.com/blog/libraries-with-non-resident-borrowing-privileges
Some libraries will let you borrow from them even if you're not a local resident. This might give you access to a library that has a better selection than your local library. Usually there is a fee to get a non-resident library card, but generally it costs less than the big streaming services.

Streaming Options

The Criterion Channel:
https://www.criterionchannel.com/
Streaming service for Criterion movies. Foreign, classic, and arthouse films. 2,218 titles, $11/month.
Kanopy:
https://www.kanopy.com/
Stream thousands of films for free with your public library card or university login.
Hoopla:
https://www.hoopladigital.com/
Another free streaming service that might be available through your public library.
Mubi:
https://mubi.com/showing
Streaming service with hand-picked content geared toward cinephiles and fans of foreign and arthouse films. Includes original content. Tends to feature auteur filmmakers. The kind of fare you might expect to see at a film festival.
Vudu:
https://www.vudu.com/
Streaming platform where you rent or purchase per title; no subscription. Includes a number of free (ad-supported) titles. Claims to have over 200,000 titles, including 4K UHD. The user interface is nicely streamlined.
Shudder:
https://www.shudder.com/
Streaming service for horror, thriller, and supernatural movies. Plans starting at $4.75/month.
Tubi TV:
https://tubitv.com/
A free (ad-supported) streaming service. Seems to have a smattering of popular titles as well as a larger number of less popular titles. Seems to focus more on movies.
Pluto TV:
https://pluto.tv/
A free (ad-supported) television streaming service. I heard it was a good place to find older, classic TV shows.
Crackle:
https://www.crackle.com/movies
Another free (add-supported) streaming service.
YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/feed/storefront
Sometimes obscure films can be found on YouTube.
Anime streaming options:
https://www.reddit.com/anime/wiki/legal_streams/
This link to the anime reddit has a list of legal sources for streaming anime.
All the major paid streaming services:
Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Paramount+, etc.
Per-movie rental on streaming:
You can digitally rent movies (usually about $4 per title on average but could be more, especially for newer movies) on services like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV (iTunes), etc.

Disc Purchase Options

eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/b/DVDs-Blu-ray/617/bn_223828
Great for used movies in particular, but you can find new ones as well.

https://www.thriftbooks.com/b/movies-and-tv/
Has a good selection of new and used discs.
Your local second-hand market:
Buy used discs at thrift stores, pawn shops, garage/estate sales, flea markets, used video game stores, etc. Buy or sell them using local trading services like OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, etc. Here is a link specifically for finding estate sales:
https://www.estatesales.net/
Diabolik DVD:
https://diabolikdvd.com/shop/
Online disc store. Shop has over 10k titles. Seems like a good place to locate hard-to-find movies.
Orbit DVD:
https://www.orbitdvd.com/
Online disc store. Another great source for more obscure titles.
Movies Unlimited:
https://www.moviesunlimited.com/
Online disc store. They have a nice feature that lets you sort by decade, which is helpful in finding classic movies.
Amoeba:
https://www.amoeba.com/movies/dvd-and-bluray/#/
An independent music store that also sells new movies.
Rasputin:
https://shop.rasputinmusic.com/movies
Another independent music store that sells new movies.
Streetlight Records:
https://streetlightrecords.com/CustomPage/1438
Two California stores, one in San Jose and one in Santa Cruz. You can buy new movies on disc, and I heard they have a good selection of rarer films. You can't browse movies on the website, but you can enter the name of the movie in the search bar at the top of the page, and search for it that way. Or email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to contact the San Jose store only. Searching the website lets you search only the San Jose location's inventory. If you want to check the Santa Cruz store's inventory, you must contact that store directly.
HorrorPack:
https://horrorpack.com/
Pay a monthly subscription to get a box of new, pre-selected horror movies delivered each month, which you keep. Plans are under $30/month.
RightStuf:

Half Price Books:
https://www.hpb.com/movies-tv
A source for used discs, including anime.

Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=2625373011&ref_=nav_em__mov_0_2_13_2
Another place to buy new movies.
Arrow Video:
https://www.arrowvideo.com/
A smaller collection focused on cult, classic, and horror movies.
Shout Factory:
https://shoutfactory.com/
Another collection focused on cult classics and other niche interests.
Discount bins:
Stores like Walmart and Dollar Tree will sometimes have movie discount bins where you can pick up titles on disc for a very low price. For titles that you don't want to keep when you are done with them, you might consider donating them to a thrift store, or trading them with the SwapaDVD option, mentioned elsewhere in this list.

Hello, Duluth! I'm going to be visiting your area in a couple weeks. One thing I enjoy doing is perusing estate sales (this is not the purpose of my visit, lol). Where I currently live, sales and auctions are posted on www.estatesales.net and there are multiple events taking place each day, but there is absolutely nothing posted up your way. Are estate sales not really a thing by you, or is there another website that locals prefer, or what?

Hey fellow eBay sellers!
I've been selling on eBay for quite some time and often get asked about the best ways to source products. So, I've put together this ultimate guide to help you find the perfect items to sell on eBay, grow your online business, and maximize profits. Let's dive in!
Wholesale Suppliers:

1. Traditional Wholesalers: Check out directories like Worldwide Brands, SaleHoo, and Wholesale Central to find suppliers that cater to your niche.
2. Manufacturers: To cut out the middleman and secure better prices, consider sourcing directly from manufacturers. Alibaba and Thomasnet are great online resources for this.

Liquidation Sales & Closeout Deals:

1. Liquidation Companies: Liquidation.com, Bulq, and Quicklotz are excellent sources for surplus or overstock items at discounted prices.
2. Store Closing Sales: Keep an eye on local newspapers and social media for store closing and going-out-of-business sales to grab heavily discounted items.

Online Arbitrage:

1. Online Retailers: Websites like Amazon, Walmart, and Target occasionally have discounts or clearance sales. Use browser extensions like Honey or CamelCamelCamel to track price drops.
2. Online Auctions & Marketplaces: GovDeals, PropertyRoom, and ShopGoodwill give you access to government surplus, unclaimed property, and donated goods. These sites can be great for finding unique and low-cost items to resell.

Local Sourcing:

1. Garage Sales & Flea Markets: Find one-of-a-kind items at low prices by visiting garage sales and flea markets. Use apps like Yard Sale Treasure Map or Flea Market Finder to locate nearby sales.
2. Thrift Stores & Consignment Shops: Regularly visit thrift stores and consignment shops for gently used, vintage, or unique items. TheThriftShopper.com can help you find stores in your area.
3. Estate Sales: EstateSales.net and EstateSale.com are useful websites for discovering local estate sales, where you can find valuable products at competitive prices.
4. Pawn Shops: Diversify your inventory by building relationships with pawn shop owners, who often have a wide range of items to sell.

Networking & Building Relationships:

1. Seller Groups & Communities: Join online forums, Facebook groups, or local meetups to connect with other eBay sellers, share experiences, and gain insights into sourcing strategies.
2. Supplier Relationships: Develop strong relationships with suppliers to secure better prices, priority access to new products, and favorable payment terms.

Effective product sourcing involves research, persistence, and creativity. Stay adaptable, continuously evaluate your strategies, and keep your eBay store competitive in the ever-changing e-commerce landscape. By understanding your target market and staying informed about trends, you can refine your sourcing approach and build a successful eBay business.
Happy selling, and feel free to share!

There are two estates sales nearby this weekend that have some AMAZING MCM furniture. I don’t have room for any more furniture but I’d rather see them bought by some one who will love them than resellers.

Hi all, I’ve been doing chemo and am trying to get into flipping as a means of income since I’m disabled. I’m fairly new to the game and honestly my knowledge extends about as far as google/eBay sold searches. I was wondering if any of you are bored enough to help me look through some local estate sale listings and point out what would be a good buy/share any general knowledge.
For example: here’s one estate sale I was looking at. It seems like they have a lot of good stuff, but I have no idea what to look for. Sorry for being such a noob

I saw this picture at an estate sale I might go to. What do you think a decent price works be?

Hey folks,
Anybody in the central Georgia region might be interested in this sale which features a very large collection of artifacts.

Military Circle Mall closed Tuesday. You have to pick up items in person. Nothing that interesting yet, unless you have your own business and are looking for furniture, etc.
