I generally will put anything that I think I can get more than $20 for on Craigslist. If you have the item priced right it will sell quickly.

Just thought I would bring this thread back from the grave...It's quite entertaining just looking at the difference 5 months can make. 

Do you have a year on it? The cover over the speaker dates it to the 1950's. Philco was known for their televisions. Good news is that radios are more collectible than televisions. Pre 1949 radios are even more collectible. You might be able to get $75-$100 for yours...it really depends on the quality of the restoration. I love old radios and TVs....tv & radio collecting is still fairly inexpensive....give it another 20 years and you will see some real appreciation. Some people are even removing the tubes from the old tv's and replacing them with modern screens and audio systems. Old look with new technology.

That's hilarious! But no, Drew has better taste than that.

My point is that there are several individuals here that promote their business. The posts that I made may have referenced my business but the content was always conformed to the topic in the thread.

It makes no difference whether you do it once or a thousand times. I personally don't even find your advertisement for the network marketing that offensive, I just used it as an example to point out how there are a lot of different agendas here. I have stopped putting a link in my text unless absolutely necessary.

 

You said that "the storage auction business has it's problems and the last thing we need is more problems". Perhaps his website will be part of the solution.  In the early 1900's people mocked the Wright brothers and their "flying machines". Look where we are at now, our entire world is accessible in hours. At one point in time, people said that cars would never catch on because they were to expensive for the average worker. If all people thought like you we would still be riding horses. There is nothing wrong with trying something new and I applaud your creativity.

One mans trash is another's treasure. I try to run everything through a couple of garage sales before I give anything away. In our area, we have a lot of donation drop boxes. This is another great way to get rid of reusable items that you don't want or can't sell. Some donation dropoffs won't take certain items but the donation drop boxes can't tell you no.

For those of you who Tweet, are there any logical reasons a business should be on Twitter other than publicity?

Rule of thumb. If it is old, try not to touch it. If it is in fair to average condition, leave it alone. There are a lot of interior designers who want furniture that shows age. But, if it is in horrible cosmetic condition, refinishing it is your only option, especially if you plan to resell it.
