eBay / Selling jeans internationally
« on: March 31, 2013, 01:45:32 PM »
I started to think.... I'm having a hard time selling jeans on eBay, and I was wondering if anyone ever sold on eBay on the UK market?  Or Russia ...

General Storage Auction Talk / I got suckered.
« on: March 31, 2013, 12:05:59 PM »
$240.00 down the drain.  Bought a 10 x 25 unit loaded,  nothing worth crap.  Trash and more trash.  Then to top it off i sold a washer and dryer to an individual who acted like he needs it and it would be good Christian thing to give him a good price.  Then he flips it on craigslist.

Storage Facilities / staging units.
« on: March 31, 2013, 11:32:02 AM »
Are storage facilities alowed to stage units?  Put their stuff in it and sell it?

A few months back we ran across one unit which had a bunch of records in boxes. The unit went for $130.  We took it to 100 and the wife was stressing out on it.  If you stacked them up it would be about 6 feet tall amount.  Does anyone know a good place to sell them?..

Other Forms of Selling / Re: Using Facebook to sell. Works great!

I been buying and selling at auctions for over 30 years. Picking stuff out of dumpsters then selling the stuff in thrift shops.  I have only been doing the storage thing for a year now and it is more work, but more profit.  For me I have a full time job to pay the bills, so as long as I cover my cost I have not failed.  Like I tell people I know, it's my new hobby.  Yea, it's a lot of work but fun.  I just listed a washer and dryer and a small refrigator on face book, within the hour I got a message saying her mom will call in the am. What I think is one of the biggest help on doing this stuff for most people is this forum.  Reading the post on this forum gives you a lot of info.

We just sweep them out. Takes a few seconds and we stay in good with the managers.  Who knows we might need to ask them a favor...

We found one on for the area we live in called Eastern Shore Trash N Treasure, it's a group.  I did off load a couch and would of sold a dirt bike on it but I was to slow to respond.  My next thing to put on it is a washer and dryer combo.  With our's it is really busy with over 8800 members.  It's a good way to sell,or buy.  I never realized that trying to sell all this crap is like a full time job.  What I do need is it to get warm so we can have a yard sell to off load the yard sale stuff....

eBay / I did good on Ebay..
« on: March 26, 2013, 10:05:19 PM »
Yea, I did good selling a large box of Dungeons’ and Dragons stuff.  Made really good on it, sold fast. On the last order to send out, some guy in California had no problem paying a high shipping on a few books.  Well to play it forward and keep good karma on my side I loaded a large flat rate shipping box full of stuff.   I almost paid for the entire unit with one box….

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: Survey Part 1

The problem I have is I live in the middle of nowhere.  65 miles north is the rich people buying units.  70 miles south and a 40 dollar toll is alot of units at a lower cost.   I just have no choice but to drive...

Stores / Re: Taken the dive into uncharted waters....

I found out that she has a big are that she reserves for larger items, but she will take a 10% cut on that.  I  think that will work out good for us, since we have alot of big stuff we need sold.

Stores / Taken the dive into uncharted waters....
« on: March 20, 2013, 02:22:29 PM »
We have taken the dive into the waters of selling in a vender's store.  $100.00 a month and  no sales comm.
10 x 10 stall with all peg boards installed. It's a new place that they are trying to get started up and it's in not to bad of a location.  No junk/junk  just good/junk.  Easier then selling at a yard sale, getting to old of moving stuff.

Looks like you could put some boards around it and call it a sand box.

The Treasure Chest / Box of rocks
« on: March 11, 2013, 03:27:12 AM »
I found a lot of stuff, but his is the first time I can say I found a box of rocks.  They are not just rock rocks. But the fancy gem stone rocks.  Even has its own chart to tell what kind they are.  I just thought that I was funny when my older daughter and her husband when last summer went to Cherokee NC and she came back with the same rocks.  Hers cost a $100, mine priceless….. :)
