Welcome back to The Not Old – Better Show! I’m your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today, we’re talking about turning clutter into cash, attic junk into treasures, and maybe—just maybe—your next garage sale into a goldmine.
Think about it—how many of us have boxes of old collectibles, furniture gathering dust, or a closet filled with clothes we haven’t worn in a decade? Downsizing and decluttering can feel overwhelming, but what if I told you that hidden in those stacks of “stuff” could be real money—thousands of dollars just waiting to be uncovered?
Well, today’s guest knows exactly how to find it. Aaron LaPedis, better known as The Garage Sale Millionaire, made his first deal at age nine, flipping baseball cards and coins. By 21, he was a self-made millionaire—all from garage sales, storage auctions, and resale finds. He’s spent the past 40 years uncovering hidden gems, dodging scams, and teaching everyday people how to cash in on forgotten treasures.
Aaron’s going to reveal the biggest mistakes people make when selling their stuff, the top five things in your home right now that could be worth serious money, and how to master the art of negotiation—whether in person or online. We’ll even get into the wild world of storage unit auctions—do they live up to the TV hype?
If you’ve ever thought about downsizing, decluttering, or making extra income in retirement, this episode is for you. So grab a pen, take notes, and get ready to see your garage, attic, and even your junk drawer in a whole new light.
Now, let’s welcome to the show—The Garage Sale Millionaire himself, Aaron LaPedis!
