Antique Collecting: Sunglasses at Garage Sales

Video Transcript

"Hi expert village. Is there something I can do for you? May I help you perhaps? I have my shades on. Pretty cool huh? Does this scream Jackie O.? This is a very cool pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses are still findable, another word I made up, at garage sales. Sometimes they will tell the date or the maker inside. These don't seem to but you can just tell that these are that style. And the reason glass, eyeglasses are very collectible is because people take them. Look at these cool frames. How cool are these. People take these old frames and they have their prescriptions put into them. If you go somewhere like Costco or take them to your own eye doctor they'll put your prescription in and there, you can pick these up for, you know, five bucks and yet retail I'm probably going to sell this pair for a hundred because it's a John Lennon kind of. Look at this one. How cool is this? Yo. I'm cruising. What do you think of that? Is that ugly? But I see people that love these. These are those retrospects. And here are the sunglasses but you can pop them out. OH! These are original cool rays. How cool is that? These are original cool rays. Can't you just see these; see these with the racing down the street? In American Graffiti and here, the cat eyes. Yikes! The cat eyes. These are not ugly. These are worse than ugly. But, these are very popular and people are looking for these all the time. Of course, condition is everything. So take a look at glasses. You can find them at some great deals and they're huge, hugely popular."
