It can be interesting to just browse through YouTube to see what you can find. My latest is a channel by a guy who buys "Liquidation Pallets" from Amazon. Basically it is boxes of stuff that Amazon customers have returned, or overstock stuff, etc. Anyway, the pallets (4 or 5 big boxes) may have a total MSRP of about $1000 or more, if the items are new. Which most are not. Then the guy goes to liquidation sites, and bids on them. So, he can get a pallet of $1500 worth of stuff for, say $150. This guy has a resale shop, plus sells stuff on eBay, FB marketplace etc. So, if stuff is unopened, or in unbroken condition, he can resell the stuff and hopefully get his money back, plus profit.

If I were younger, and did the flea market circuit, I would do something like this. In one video, he found a like new watch with a new price of about $500. He figured he could re-sell it for about $200 or $300, which was already more than he paid for the pallet.
 

Reminds me of the TV show Pawn Stars, always a camera present when a rare item is brought in...
 

For that $286 that guy spent on those 2 boxes I could've kept a lot. Plus the little let's see what treasures we have thing is like christmas kinda. LOL
 
I attended a charity event once where a board member who owned a big moving company had bought about 50 large packing crates that had been sitting in a New York City warehouse for 50-75 years. Attendees at the event bid on the unopened crates and his guys were standing by with crowbars to unpack them on the spot.

Talk about fun! There were treasures and there was junk. Mangy old fur coats and antique pianos. Sets of fine china and stained bedlinen. Antique bicycles and rusted pots. Clothes, books, machinery parts. Old love letters and old overdue bills. Lots of trash. Lots.

Everyone had a great time and a lot of money was raised for the charity.
