Title: I wanna see that !
Post by: MovieMan on February 09, 2011, 05:37:47 AM: The opposite of a thread in another area.

What I wanna see are the gold bars.

In my area when we walk up to a person who has just bought a locker we sometimes start the conversation with "Any gold bars today?" or words to that effect.

I didn't see them, but a fellow I trust said a "doofus" kind of guy came to his home seeking advice. He literally had a small bucket with gold bricks in it. Remember, I trust this guy. Others have verified that the "doofus" had bid on and won a locker that looked OK but nothing great.

Apparently the "doofus" and his "goofy" partner had tumbled on to the Real McCoy. They have both disappeared from the scene, but not before "goofy" stuck it to his partner by cleaning out the locker and taking it on the lam.

So yes, I wanna see that...gold bars.

Since i have a buyers network built up around these items.

Eveything else is way more labor and costly to sell.

Yep, that would be good! Gold/silver ad money especially easy to convert...to money !

Guns...a problem to sell in some states. Safes....mostly empty or just "important" papers.

Safes if they are older models can be gold, i have a locksmith that buys tem from me. I once cleaned out an estate, and found a safe from 1934, it sold for 600 dollars. So safes made before 1950 will bring good cash.
