ABOUT GREG
Ten years of learning what’s worth a closer look.
Rad Wares is owned and operated by Greg Melito through House of Rad LLC. Over approximately a decade of full-time professional resale work, he has learned across many collecting markets—identifying unfamiliar objects, researching them, and paying attention to the details that change the picture.

ONE PERSON, DIRECTLY ACCOUNTABLE
The person reviewing the photos is the person you will talk with.
For approximately 10 years, Greg has worked across many different collecting markets, identifying unfamiliar objects, following research trails, and learning which details deserve attention.
He has researched, identified, photographed, marketed, packed, shipped, and sold tens of thousands of items. That hands-on experience helps him recognize when something may deserve a closer look—even when it resists an easy label.
He is naturally curious about unusual objects and enjoys the research involved in identifying obscure material, tracing names, marks, construction details, and context until the picture becomes clearer.
His historical strengths include vintage toys, action figures, video games, model trains, models, hobby material, and pop-culture collectibles. Years of handling mixed inventory have also built practical experience with ephemera, cameras, advertising, tools, jewelry, watches, industrial objects, records, and art.
Rad Wares is owner-operated, and Greg personally reviews incoming collection inquiries, asks the follow-up questions, communicates with sellers, and travels to evaluate worthwhile collections across eastern and northeastern Pennsylvania—and farther when the scale or significance warrants it.
- Straightforward communication
- Discretion around private collections and estates
- Honest limits instead of exaggerated guarantees
- A serious research approach to unfamiliar material
