What is the hardest item to sell ?

Currently I have over 20 picture frames. I get at least 10 per unit.

A diamond - get it? Hardest item - get it?.....whatever, fine don't laugh

TRASH, nuff said

That reminds me. About 4 months ago I bought a 10X45 with 26 pallets of new picture frames. Over 6000 in all. It was a nightmare trying to sell them.

wow, thats alot of frames. What did you pay on the unit. I would think you would be able to find a vendor to buy the whole lot at a wholesale price if you didnt pay much for the unit.

$375  I was trying to sell them as a whole for $1,750. I called every picture frame shop in town, nobody had room or could use them. I waited over a month to find a buyer. The lady I sold them to was going to piece them out individually on Ebay. She will probably make 20K over the next year or so.

Wow I guess frames are down on sales.

So were you able to find the auctions in San Antonio by searching for the auctioneers?

Ya I got a few I follow through the auctioneers sight that does not get posted to The Hart Beat. Mostly from Legacy Auction.

I despise picture frames! Dead weight...

Well, in the future we will offer a listing service in San Antonio, Dallas /Fort Worth and then central Texas around Austin. It is just a lot of work building the databases for areas of this size. Our Houston database took me over a month to build. That's a month with no income on a hope that our service would do well. We are just now getting into a point where we are efficient enough where we can focus on another city. I'm banking that Dallas / Ft Worth will be our next project over the next three months. Then San Antonio, then Austin. I will have to hire a new person to make phone calls for every new area we move into. The costs start adding up quickly. But look for our service in the San Antonio area within the next 12 months.

Huh?

Is your reply #25 just above your OWN response to your question in reply #22.

Or did you just  post this info in the wrong thread?  Just seemed strangely out of place to me, but
in our business a lot of stuff is out of place...to good antiques in a junky lkr to trash in a lkr that should be in the landfill.

He and I were having a conversation on a couple different threads. The conversation was about whether there was a storage auction listing service in San Antonio.

Oh that is what you were asking. There is The Hart Beat, which covers about 90% of the facilities here in SA. Most of which do not advertise anywhere else.
