Welcome To Pickin'Ease Otherwise Known As Adventures Of The Newbie Picker


Hi, my name is Jennifer Boyte and I am the owner of It's New To You. I buy collectibles, odds and ends, storage units, and really anything that interests me - then try to sell it for a profit. I am fairly new at this and still learning the ins and outs of the business, but I would love to take you along on the adventure.


I will share my ups (hope I have a lot of those) and my downs (so sad...) - but, I sure hope there is a chuckle or two along the way as well. If you are the type of person who slams on the brakes at the sight of a yardsale (they shouldn't have been on my tail end and YES I know I am #1 though typically I don't use that finger) then this is something you will enjoy. If you like dragging yourself out of bed at 5:00AM to have a garage sale and get a major thrill when you make $5 for that item you paid a quarter for - then you are in for some fun.


Welcome to SE Georgia and the people I meet along the way - cheer me on when I make a great find and commiserate with me when I make a baaaad purchase. By the way - I would love to hear from you and let me know how you are doing with YOUR picking. Maybe we can share some tips and ideas.


As the Fat Man use to say - Awaaaaay We Go :)

On The Auction Block

Good Morning.  A few weeks ago I made an amazing purchase at a church rummage sale.  (At least I think I did)  I got a whole box of SLR camera lenses and miscellaneous items for $3.  Let me show you some pics of the items.




Pretty nice huh?  I planned on selling them to a used camera buyer I found on the internet (I will let them remain nameless) but could only find a few of the lenses on there.  They offered a decent amount (which would have made me a sweet profit) for a few of them - but, I want to sell them all.  I don't know enough about them to try and sell them individually.  So, I called the company and left a message.  Waited.  Called again and left a message.  Waited (multiply this by a few more times).  I give up.  If they don't want my amazing lenses then the heck with them. :)

Well, I have them for sale on Ebay currently and I hope they sell.  I believe I am truly underpricing myself by starting the auction at only $20 but hopefully it will get some response.  If you would like to check out the auction just head over to Ebay and tell me what you think.

I have sold the lenses. :)
