I'm in the process of cleaning up or cleaning out all my storage sheds and barns. Most of the stuff I'm coming across is junk without a doubt. I've ran across several items so far that are in anywhere from excellent to fair condition and don't want to throw them away. Question is, without investing too much time, how do I find out if any of these items hold any value? Most of the items I've come across are petroleum based with name brand agriculture companies. Some are sealed and full while other are empty with missing lids and everything in between. Any suggestions, sure to be some very interesting replies.
Try to find something similar on ebay, for starters.
Old metal oil containers and signs seem to be quite collectable, at least that is what I gathered from the few episodes of 'American Pickers' that I saw.
We have a local auction company that sells a lot of stuff like that online. They came to my grandpa's and gave my mom and uncles estimates on what they thought they could get for most of the stuff.
