LOL I like that response!  I will do that next time.  Thanks everyone for the info. I received two more fake responses today and ignored them.  I also edited my post to say to put the item in the subject line so I can weed out spammers.

Thanks so much for the responses.  What made me suspicious was the grammar and spelling. The "I'm deaf" part also seemed fishy.  Also the fact that the time was 4am in the morning.

Hi all,

After winning my first auction I am in the process of selling some stuff on CL.  I recently put up an ad for a large dollhouse. I received a response from someone but it just seems fishy to me.  I am posting what he wrote to see what you think.  I tried googling and doing people searches for his name and email address but am getting nothing.


Hello,
 Thanks for the respond am ok with the price and the condition..I
would have love to come and take a look at it, its just that time wont
permit me cos am very busy... . I will be paying through a
certified,cashier check or MO to cover the cost of the item and i will
be responsible for the shipment and the pickup. I'll take care of that
by engaging the services of a mover, Once you are okay with this, I
will be needing the following information so as to issue out the
payment to you.  . .

1.Name to be issue to...
2.Contact Address(City,State,Zip code)
3.Contact telephone number home,cell or work...)


**** Pls not that FedEx/Ups does not deliver to P.O box and the
payment for the item will be overnight to your address asap. I have
taken a close look at the advert and am completely satisfied i really
need this and will appreciates that you help save this for me till the
payment arrives as it will save me some extra cost....I would have
love to call but am a deaf and only uses a hearing-in paired phone
relay, So please send me an email only Regards****


Awaiting for your prompt response.

Good news!   I received an email response from a woman interested in the doll molds. Even better, I looked her up and she is an artist who has owned her own ceramic store for 20 years and teaches art classes!   She was a featured Artist for channel 12 PEW spotlight and A morning TV program “Good Day America” In 1997 she was chosen in the Philadelphia’s Inquire Magazine as one of five Emerging artists.  Maybe she will be interested in the other stuff as well or know someone who may be interested. 

The fabric backdrop idea is great! I never thought to use it for ebay pics.

Yes I made an account with etsy and will try my luck there. I may list the fabric patterns as a lot since I have so many.

Yes the fabrics are a pain. I know nothing about fabrics whatsoever. There are some attractive ones there though. Luckily a lot still have the tag on with the size and type of material.  One interesting one I found was a coca cola tapestry like fabric. I can't remember the size but I think that may sell well.

Hi all,

I am somewhat new to the storage auction scene. I have attended several auctions and bought my first unit last week.

The woman who owned the locker attended classes and taught crafts.  We found hundreds of unpainted ceramic figures,

enough to open a store!  I am trying to find someone to buy in bulk to get it out.  We also found about 20 different doll

molds, doll parts.  Craft flowers with the tags all still on. Tons of paints and glazes a lot still sealed.  Found an airbrush set with the retail price of 118.00 unused.

  A huge victorian dollhouse kit that retails for 228.00.  Lots if new in box emmett kelly clown figures, some limited edition.  A snap on channel lock pliers, on ebay now. Paint brushed thousands of craft beads,  new in packages, sealed stamp pads.  Hundreds of fabric patterns and fabrics. It was like a craft horders paradise!

The unit was 5x10 crammed full. We paid 45.00 for it.  So far I sold a ceramic book I found for 20.00. Just have to get all this stuff listed ugh!
