I always liked the saying 'the best buyer is the one right in front of you'. I'll only have 1-2 hits on an item, but alot of times that person will come through to buy it.

I guess it just gets down to initial excitement about an item with NO THOUGHT put in to the reality of getting it.

You nailed it. I have this happen alot, one of the main draws to my ad is offering delivery for a fee. Alot of times out of towners will call, and the charge of delivery will equal the original cost of the item! I havent sold CL items out of town yet.

Good luck money, I just went through my own adventure selling china. 30 Piece set, new in box (Sold on ebay for $160, which I was happy with). Wasnt as pretty as yours, and for some reason I think yours could be worth a good bit.

I was surprised how much stuff was being sold in my area. At the end of things though, prices seemed to be on the high side.

I am a county next to you in Cumberland (Fayetteville). I cant speak about lockers from Moore, but I would imagine they're pretty nice units being around all those golfing/country club towns.

PS: Dont think about coming down here slick. We will eat you ALIVE.

Honestly, I always include my phone number in my craigs ad. Yes, I do get the occasional spam texts, have never recieved a junk call though. Skipping the whole e-mail proccess really saves time, and attracts serious buyers if they are willing to text/call on an item.

The storage auction dry period continues here in Fayettenam, but it has given me time to fine comb my inventory for things I never get around to sell. I came across this piece, and have not been able to find any information after scouring online, much less a value. Here's what I know:

The artist is Bob Berry, a decoy carver. These are drawings from which they were carved. There's a nice write-up about the artist / art of decoy carving / the subject matter (wood duck) on the back. The main information that stands out in the write up is "North American Duck Collection - Created by Artist Bob Berry" - Gallery Originals.

I would appreciate any information, thanks.

I think from now on I'm going to make a glorious effort to stay away from any auctions listed on auctionzip.

Yea auctionzip is a crowd enducer, we had one on the last day of December that was listed on auctionzip, 15 lockers, 120+ people. I left after the first 5 lockers, which took about 2 hours.  We were lined up like herds of cattle. Moooooooooooooooo
