Lookey Loos Part 3....March, 2011

Hmm... Here are my guesses...

The BOMB - $650
The DUMP - $180

There's one entry from a "newbie" (on the forums)....old timers ?

Come on guys...there are almost 2,000 members here. Surely, 4 or 5 can speak up (and don't call me surely).

the bomb = 300
the dump = 100

the bomb = 300
the dump = 100

Thanks for the guess Jose...may take a few more days to get 2 or 3 more answers then we'll see how good at pricing our fellow buyers are !

I'd say the BOMB was $375 from what I can see (crap + crowd)
and I'd guess $130 for the dump (what brand was the bike?)

BOMB $550  Dump $150

Now some regulars are chiming in...will wait for some more of the regular posters and then make a composite of all the answers and post the actual sale prices...it's for fun remember, so don't be disappointed if you are off a bit (or a lot !).

A good way to end March.

Thanks for joining in ! 

Couldn't let March end without getting a couple of lockers, though I paid dearly for one. The 2nd one was cheaper though and averaging costs out is one way to look at cost control.

Then I went to a yard sale and bought a lot of gems/minerals which I am interested in. The gal had gotten them in a locker about 3 months ago....former owner was from Brazil and that's where a lot of the better stuff comes from that you see at rock shops. The stuff I bought was basically what I would pay at Quartzite, AZ without the trip expenses.
I sell rocks/gems/rockhounding books and supplies in the spring and summer at my flea space.

OK, March ends in a couple of hours here in California so time to reveal the answers to the "How much did the Bomb and the Dump sell for?"

Josepc came the closest on the Bomb (auction #1). It was a 10x10 with only a moderate amount of stuff inside and
nothing great showing. Surprisingly, it went for a modest $225. The fellow in the blue patterned shirt got it. He is something of a newbie, but has been buying.


No one came close on the 10x10 dump (auction #2). Even though a 5 x 10 had sold for over $400 not 20 minutes before, this one sold for.....drum roll please..... $1.  Yep, and the heavy set fellow in bright blue shirt got it. He was scaring people off all day due to his strong aroma...aka...body odor!

The side bets many of us place on what a locker will sell for (at each of our attended auctions) have more than just fun value as we are assessing the competition, the locker contents etc....and of course it's just fun.

If you had seen the actual lkrs instead of pics your guesses probably would have been closer; I was amazed the dump didn't sell for more than $1. A lot of newbies were eyeing it and I would have thought $50 to $75 considering the crowd and earlier prices, but I guess it (or the heavy blue boy) turned everyone off to it.

April is here!  Enjoy the new month of buying and selling!
