Dungeons and Dragons Unit
« on: April 08, 2011, 12:24:37 PM »
Last week in Minneapolis I hit up an auction, two locations, 23 units total.  I'd say about 25 people total at each facility.  Anyways, I didn't bid on anything the whole day, didn't see anything that I considered as an opportunity until the last unit of the of the day.  It was an inside unit, I was towards the end of the line so I didn't get to check it out until most others did.  Since it was the last unit of the auction, most people looked and then left.  About 6 people hung around.  Anyways the unit was a trashy 5 X 10, 6 mattresses total, junky couch, cheap tv stand and tv, however , it had a lot of bags and boxes.  Anyways, I could tell the mattresses scared most people, me included.  The mattresses were in the middle of the unit and it was hard to see anything in the back of the unit.  Me being 6'4" I had a good advantage, I jumped up with my light and saw a 4 piece bedroom set in the way back.  No one is bidding so I throw out a $5 dollar bid.  Going once, going twice, sold.  Got it for 5 bucks.  One of the best units ever!!!  Behind the mattresses' is:

7'10 G Loomis fishing rod ($150 Craigslist)
Shimano Calcutta fishing reel ($130 Ebay)
6 Abu Garcia spinning reels. (120 Total Ebay)
15 brand new Rapala Vertical Jigging Lures (Sold for $45 ebay)
30 DVDs ($30 Ebay, two seperate lots)
Playstation 2 + 30 games, controllers, etc ($55 ebay)
4 Piece bedroom set ($300 CL)
****ty Couch ($40 CL)
Sega Genesis + 8 games ($30 ebay)
Lebron James shoes ($20 ebay)
Dennis Rodman jersey ($25 ebay)
50+ Dungeons and Dragons books ($400 dollars between Amazon and Ebay, sold like crazy!!!)
4 End tables (80 in total from CL)
Still have a Sword and some misc. stuff to sell yet.

The reason this unit rocked is how fast everything sold!!! Lots of junk too.  This unit has my wife excited about this side job of mine, she does all the shipping now!!!  Me being a teacher it will be hard for me to hit up another auction until summer break.  $5 dollar unit is easily yielding me $1,000+ Profit!

I couldn't believe how fast they were selling on Amazon, it was crazy.  Although the highlight of this unit had to be all the VHS Porn that was stashed in it, not because of the actual porn, but because of the names of the porn were priceless.  For example, Whack Attack, Oriental Cream Eaters, Asian Butt Orgy, and my personal favorite, Revenge of the Nerd Sluts.  Straight to the trash those went.  If I died tomorrow, I don't want people sorting through my belongings and coming across those.

Congrats on the unit.  I know I better hit up as many as I can before you get back in the game this summer.  :-)

Looking forward to hearing more about your future bids...
