After 3 nights of sifting thru..pulling trash..scanning barcodes on new items..estimating on misc. dollar here dollar there items..if i figure 40% on new toys. ..I estimated the value at aproximately 950.00!!!. Now the task of getting it sold...one question...i have some video game cases with the manuals but no games in them. I called a place called gamestop to see if they would be interested but they dont sell their games with the cases...any ideas as to how i should get rid of them or should i just toss them...they are not figured into any value yet.

« on: March 04, 2012, 02:58:08 AM »
If u attend a pod auction...can u pay to have the pod delivered to your location..if so does anyone know what that costs?

So...i am new to this...i have been doing a bit of research..ie...online listings/legal postings/sources for resale/sources for recycling.

I see and hear that some buyers have done research on the individuals who's items are up for auction...i am wondering where you get the info from?...i see in the legal listings where you can get a name ..but where do you find out information on that person?

I am planning on visiting/just watching for my first 3 or 4 auctions to get a feel for who the regulars are and what is being sold and for what amount of $$$.

any information is appreciated...and thanks in advance!
