Six months of yard sale sourcing finally paid off last Saturday

I used to just grab whatever looked interesting and hope it sold, ended up with a garage full of junk nobody wanted. Switched to a strict spreadsheet system after a $40 lamp sat for 4 months. Now I only buy items that have sold 3 times on eBay in the last 90 days, checked right at the table on my phone. Last weekend I flipped a set of vintage Pyrex for $85 profit, which used to take me a whole month of random buys to make. The numbers workout takes about 10 minutes per stop but saves me from carting home dead weight. Anyone else using a similar filtering trick, or do you go with gut instinct at estate sales?

Spending 10 minutes per stop hunched over your phone means you're missing the actual gems that nobody's caught onto yet. Gut instinct and a little risk is how you find the weird stuff that flips for way more than stale eBay data ever predicts.
