That's a toss up for me, you decide. Its between the roman coins with clasp and arrowhead, Nazi items, or the Yard d*ck marked at 8" for mike....lol

Other Forms of Selling / Re: Wondering if anyone sells on etsy.com?
« on: December 22, 2012, 10:18:47 AM »
yes my store does sell on etsy, its a hit or miss kind of thing. I have posted upcyled items for example i take old picture frames give them a nice paint job mount board on the back and glue wine corks to them so you have a working corkboard that looks nice, I also take books cut out the middle and line it with cloth from clothing so you have a book safe, take wine and beer bottles cut the top off fill with jell candle wax and now you have candles. We also sell jewlery and antiqued furniture. You can list an item for 20cents for 3 months. Don't expect heavy sales on the site though, I have a girl moniter and post on their site for me. The site is geared twords women.

If a employee of the facility does not seem interested int the units and then all of the sudden is interested and buying strong bid as well because they know something you don't most likely because they peeked in the boxes. Some do this because they dont want to get caught stealing due to the fact the owner can pay off their debt untill last minute, but peeking in the boxes doesnt get them in trouble.

I keep anything thats not broken stained or crappy looking, take it all to the flea market and sell it in one big sale. This year i sold every christmas item in one day for $360 mostly at 50cent each minus the $30 for my spot. The few crappy items left twords the end of the sale I get rid of by yelling EVERYTHING IS FREE!!! Man they can clear up crap in a heartbeat. Good way of getting rid of crap not worth bringing home...

If i see roaches im out, anything else i dont care; just cant stand roaches

Units in PA range from $1 for trash bags to $4000 for large units 10x30, depends what you can see. I was at an auction in Ephrata Pa with 2 units left. The first unit had 6 rubbermaids a childs broken tv stand and to trash bags and went for $800 and the second unit had 4 rubbermaids and a piece of workout equip. and went for $450 so if you have crazy people at the auction each rubbermaid is worth roughly $100 or above.
