Picker's Paradise / Re: Yard Sale Picking Has Been Good
« on: October 15, 2012, 11:50:02 PM »
Well I sold the ladder that I bought for 5 got 100 out of it. Guy that bought it was happy and so was I.

Now the story I talked about in my first post. I always try to contact people before their sale. It never hurts to ask most of these are listed on Craigslist. I get plenty of no what till the sale but a few say yes. There was an ad listed for moving sale. I contacted the lady and spent 2 days emailing back and forth. Finally she agreed to let me come up Friday evening. When I got there they were moving some furniture and she told me a could start looking through a 6x8 enclosed trailer. Come to find out this was a divorce sale (already divorced) selling everything he left. I started making a pile on the ramp of the trailer. Highlights Ridgid worm drive skill saw 3 totes of tools, 2 boxes full of fishing lures some new in package, a wooden sculpture, large nfl ticket stub collectible for man room, drop cords and other items. Paid 100 for everything. When I went in the house there was a slot machine japan kind full sized sitting in the corner. Is this for sale yes but it doesn't work. All the lights wouldn't come on so I left that. Going home I thought of my friend who dabbles in video games. Later that night I emailed her and asked to hold it for me. Went down next morning looked at it again and saw I had missed a tote of tools that were still there. Asked if she would take 50 for slot machine and tote she said yes. Also picked up a pair of Polk Audio speakers for 5. Here's where it gets good get the slot machine home open it up and started flipping a couple of the switches on panel and you guessed it everything lite up and works great. In the tote of tools besides 4 hammers chisels and other small hand tools was a brand new wash down pump for a boat still in the box. I am slowly selling everything and should do very well. I know these don't come around all the time but keep looking you never know. ;D ;D

Stories about Storage Auctions / 2 Units To Start The Year
« on: January 14, 2012, 12:17:01 AM »
Three units when sale got started. I got 2 of them this auction was at beginning of the new year. There was only 15 people with no regulars which I couldn't believe. First unit is a 5x15 packed all the way to the top. You could tell this one was loaded and never gone back to. Got this one for 425.00. Showing was a Murray bag push mower. Ryobi extendable weed eater. Also 8ft Werner aluminum step ladder.  Also case for music instrument had saxophone in it this was sold for 125.00. Also crate furniture dining table. When we started to unload it we also found David Clark avaition headphones which have already sold on Ebay for 192.50. Also found snare drum and case which I have sold for 45.00. 10 porcelain dolls that I still have. Faberware china pattern elegance gold. Kenmore super capacity washer and dryer. I sold these to another couple that was at the auction for 100.00 as is. Skill saw and small tool box. Also Medline large wheelchair with footrest sold for 125.00. In another box was a queen size down comforter. And a lot of other small 2 to 10 dollar items.

Second unit is a 10x10 half full. Now here's the kicker manager let us walk inside and look around but couldn't touch anything or look in boxes. This was the first time I had ever been able to walk in a unit. Showing is a crate furniture sofa with cushions on back wall and another floral sofa on the other wall. Clothes hanging overhead and misc boxes and totes. Also notices some small items had price tags on them as the previous tenant must have had a yard sale. We all step back outside and the manager starts at 25.00 and everyone looks at each other. I figure what the heck I could always donate the couches if I had to. So I bid 25.00 and couldn't believe it when no one else bids. Highlights from this one were hidden in the corner under an half full box of pots and pans is an new 16x14 home tent with closet SCORE. Also found hammock with stand, dish network receiver still in box. Also Boyds large bear and a ton of 1.00 to 10.00 yard sale flea market items. Haven't sold much from this one as I have been working on the first locker. Will keep everyone updated as I finish going through boxes and totes.

eBay / Re: Ebay Buyers to Beware???

Just keep your money he's going to give you a negative no matter what. The people on ebay are getting nastier and very picky just my opinion.

According to the claim center on eBay if you sent it out within the time specified in the ad, and sent it to his registered address (eBay or PayPal), and have a tracking number showing it was delivered, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

That is not true Ebay is all for the buyer and not the seller. When IMHO it should be the other way around. Ace just state from here on out that you don't ship overseas no matter where they buy from. If they are in the U.S. you can ship to address and they can then send it overseas. The worst problem I have had is with buyers have been overseas. And nothing leaves my post office without a tracking number but that doesn't always help. They can still leave negative feedback no matter what and and we has seller's can't do anything about it we can't even leave a negative. Also on your blocked list go to ship to locations and check all overseas so they can't even bid. Don't even get me started with Ebay.
