They were lucky. But it was the US couple with their expertise in buying and sales.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because they discovered from the seller that their humongous haul was said to be worth an astonishing \u00a37.8k.<\/p>\n

They run an a Thrift Mine is a YouTube channel.<\/a>, described their purchases as the \u201cjackpot of a lifetime\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ryan explained: \u201cMy wife and I went to a garage sale to find some good stuff to resell for a profit online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ended up stumbling across an entire collection of high end valuable stuff,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Continuing to dub their latest garage sale a \u201ccrazy adventure\u201d, he then revealed exactly what had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using footage from their shopping experience, Ryan showed how they\u2019d arrived at the garage sale looking for profitable goods.<\/p>\n

The Disney merch was in the full package, and they immediately knew that this could be a big hit.<\/p>\n

So they asked to see the full collection of the brand new products \u2013 and the seller returned with boxes full of the stuff and showed how they even had their official certificates to show they were the Real Estate<\/span> deal.<\/p>\n

The characters ranged from Dumbo and Captain Hook to other popular cartoons. Snow<\/span> Bambi White\u00a0<\/p>\n

The seller also explained that the Disney products had set him back around $10k \u2013 approximately \u00a37.8k \u2013 but he\u2019d accept even a tenth of that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Ryan and Pam had viewed the books and determined that they would like to bring them home, Ryan and Pam discussed what they could offer.<\/p>\n

Ryan then put his negotiating skills to use, as he said if he could get the lot for less than $1k \u201cit would be even better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He told the seller: \u201cI\u2019d be interested in buying everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan then thought long and hard, before suggesting he hand over $750, which equates to about \u00a3585.<\/p>\n

But the sellers pushed back and upped it to $900 (\u00a3702). Ryan then compromised at $850 \u2013 \u00a3663 \u2013 and the pair agreed and he went to get more money to complete the sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when they got the Disney products home, Ryan explained that he knew he would be able to get so much more for them than he\u2019d just paid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He explained in his YouTube video: \u201cSo in this giant lot there was Snow White, some Mickey Mouse, there was some Nightmare Before Christmas, there was Bambi, there was Dumbo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were even some Looney Tunes in there as well \u2013 just a wide variety of some highly valuable Disney figures.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you guys don\u2019t know what these are, they\u2019re called Walt Disney classic collection ceramic figurines and they\u2019re extremely high end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSome can range from $30 \u2013 $30 and some can go up as high as $200 to $300. And we actually have a great mixture of both of those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan then went on to reveal that they\u2019d already sold 8 of the figurines out of the 61 strong collection for a whopping $656 (\u00a3511) and almost made their money back \u2013 and still had so many to go.<\/p>\n

He then shared that they hadn\u2019t even listed them all, as three were damaged and another two, they\u2019d kept for themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
