hey gapajeff--- i feel for ya brotha- throwing you my crowd ;) at least it's smaller.. lol  I feel it will all fade away soon enough- America takes up and throws away trends faster than wrapping paper... it will all fade away soon enough, like that Orlando woman Casey Anthony.  Don't even get me started, right?

Hey guys... Wish I was experiencing your small crowds.  Understand this, I may be a car salesman, but I don't exaggerate or try to "one-up" people...I tell it like it is.  My nephew and I went on a caravan to 5 facilities and 40 units avail... I must admit- it was taxing in the heat... anyway, we counted 78 people.   >:(DAMN!!!! largest auction I have been to.  the funny thing is 99 percent of them went to the first 4 places, then it got down to about 30-40people at the last facility... auctions were in st pete and lots of lookie loos but about 25 regulars and prices were sky high.  I missed the perfect unit I knew I would find by 25 bucks.  i know sounds lame-- but it went for over my budget for what i saw---  yeah i couldv'e won it for 375 but i set my budget at 325 and it went for 350--- im gonna try and post a pic-- been having trouble with that lately... (I still have a lot to move from my first 2 lockers so maybe it was meant to be that way so my wife doesnt kick my ass!

Have a good night and....

Enjoy your dig!

i bet if they get lkrs (or when they get them) in tx, they probably have arrangements made for all their stuff to be hauled back to their respective locals (allthewhile paid for by A and E TV.< just taking a stab at how they would get their new merch back home)  then they live out there during production in hotels maybe?  YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!

Enjoy the dig!

yeah hard work has been instilled in me since i was a young'n myself :)  I got a quote from my mentor who recruited me into the car biz---its about greenpeas (newbies) "When you're green you're growin, and when you're ripe you're rotten."    here is my favorite from him-"The will to win is worthless without the will to work!"

Thanks for the calculated shipping info and lesson on weight.  i guess I box the item, then measure it and weight it then apply the info. got it!

by the way how did you find my profile?  again, that was pretty crafty Movieman!!!!

I'll leave you with this one by good ol Dr. Suess...
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter... don't mind."

Thx again my new friend!


Enjoy the dig!

hahaha movieman to effin funny! you are a smart cat!  yeah did you see the pic of me and my boys... thats why i work my ass off--- and to stay away from my wife! hahah lol j/k  yeah that page was meant to be a name for an ebay store but i don't think i have one--  did u like the name tho? lol 

about the advice.. yeah i will start charging for shipping.  my lady chewed my butt a bit for losing that 4 bucks (shes an accountant)  i have updated my 4 items up for sale and am selecting "standard shipping" and flat rate to all buyers... but how much do i charge for shipping? do i loook into calculated shipping?  btw smart about handling charge to cover the fees. that way u never pay ebay!  i like that.  again, thx for the advice and impressed that u found me and my store on ebay... or is it not a store? lol

did u see my items?

a buddy of mine said he saw a preview for it and there was some guy in an all white suit bidding on every unit just to spend his money and win them all... my buddy said it drove barry crazy and he yelled..."now its personal!!!"  lol, i cant wait!  i love/hate dave, love barry and darrell and jarrod and brandi are fun to watch. overall the best of the three on tv IMHO--

really dislike storage hunters- could only watch 7 mins of it before i thought it was horribly faked and written crappy cable tv.  delete!
ton and allen of auction hunters are at least entertaining
but SW seems the least scripted.

Enjoy the dig!
