It is always a good idea to see what is selling in the resell world.
First trend I am seeing, is brass, figures, candlesticks, wall hangings, vessels. Brass is picking up in sold comps, especially on Poshmark. You can generally pick up brass pieces at the thrift store priced anywhere from a $1 to $4 or more and at garage sales. Research what similar pieces are selling for on eBay or Poshmark. Google lens will be your friend, it is a good way to identify possible maker and give you a general idea of asking prices. Always go to the platforms website to search the item, filtering the results to show sold or completed sales. The trick is to buy low and sell high.
Second trend is vintage PYREX, it is still selling. I see pieces continually selling on Poshmark. Now you can find pieces at the thrift store still, though the prices may seem high. Check the sold comps, make sure the pattern is a highly sought after one. You can sometimes find the vintage pieces at garage sales too. Make sure the color is bright and not dull, make sure there is minimal wear to the exterior and interior, you can tell which pieces have been through the dishwasher. PSA do not put vintage glass kitchen vessels whether PYREX, Fire King, or Glass Bake in the dishwasher, it will destroy its exterior finish. I only hand wash my vintage glass. I have two examples of vintage PYREX, it had it's lid which had minor wear. I bought it for a $1 and listed the lid for $14 and it sold. I knew the lid would sell as a replacement piece I made a profit $10 which is bad. Always check to see what the lids are reselling for on pieces with paint loss. Sometimes you can get lucky and find just the lids in the thrift store for a $1 or $2. Dealers and collectors are always looking for lids to complete a piece/set. Second example, I purchased a 5 quart double handled Amish butter print blue mixing bowl for a $1 had some minor wear to the paint, I sold it for $25, my earnings was $20, not to bad profit of $19.
