There has never been a craze like Beanie Babies. The $5 beanbag animals with names like Seaweed the Otter and Gigi the Poodle drove millions of Americans into a greed-fueled frenzy as they chased the rarest Beanie Babies, whose values escalated weekly in the late 1990s. A single Beanie Baby sold for $10,000, and on eBay the animals comprised 10 percent of all sales.

The early 1970s saw the birth of the modern comic book shop. Its rise was due in large part to a dynamic entrepreneur, Phil Seuling. His direct market model allowed shops to get comics straight from the publishers, bypassing middlemen. Stores could better customize their offerings and independent publishers could now access national distribution. In this way, shops opened up a space for quirky ideas to gain an audience and helped transform small-press series, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Bone, into media giants.

Look closely at any typically "American" article of clothing these days, and you may be surprised to see a Japanese label inside. From high-end denim to oxford button-downs, Japanese designers have taken the classic American look - known as ametora, or "American traditional" - and turned it into a huge business for companies like Uniqlo, Kamakura Shirts, Evisu, and Kapital. This phenomenon is part of a long dialogue between Japanese and American fashion.

Story
Cheap fashion has fundamentally changed the way most Americans dress. Stores ranging from discounters like Target to fast fashion chains like H&M now offer the newest trends at unprecedentedly low prices. Retailers are producing clothes at enormous volumes in order to drive prices down and profits up, and they've turned clothing into a disposable good.

Story
Marketing executives and consumer advocates alike predict a future of brand-proof consumers, armed with technology and a sophisticated understanding of marketing techniques, who can effectively tune out ad campaigns. But as Rob Walker demonstrates, this widely accepted misconception has eclipsed the real changes in the way modern consumers relate to their brands of choice. Combine this with marketers' new ability to blur the line between advertising, entertainment, and public space, and you have dramatically altered the relationship between consumer and consumed.

Well worth it
I was listening to this book while walking through the Goodwill and actually found some of the items he mentioned! Without this book I would have walked right past them. Now I get to turn them around and make some profit. Thank you!

Most AWESOME book for Online Sales
Would you consider the audio edition of How to Turn Garbage Into Gold to be better than the print version?
Yes this is much better when you can listen to it over and over to retain more of what you have learned.
What did you like best about this story?
It ranked the items from 1 to 101 with breakdowns on where to find the items most often to where to start selling these items that worked best for him at the time of this books writing.
Which character – as performed by Graham Taglang – was your favorite?
There was no real character to be a favorite but I did like his references to Tony now and then.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No one real moment. It was just all real good and I could relate to most of the items expressed and my 20 something kids could explain the rest. I knew what he was talking about but needed them to visualize some of the characters for me that I missed when they were growing up.
Any additional comments?
This is one of the best books to confirm what I already have learned at Ebay sales but also builds on more items that I can watch for as well as background to more of some items that I would have never thought of. I have listened to this book a dozen times already and I still get energized and excited to go out and yard sale or thrift shop to find more of these old favorites that are now treasurers.

Garbage
Don't waste your money. Outdated and useless. You are better off spending your money elsewhere.
