Hello is anyone around?

We bought 4 units last week and in the worst unit we found some papers from a Patent Attorney in Ohio.  There was about 10 packets, each having patent request from companies and individual.  drawings and letters about requesting for the attorney to get them a patent.  One was for a head light, another for a water cooler and another for a flour shifter.   What can I do with them?

When do you give up on trying to get a good price for stuff.  I have stuff that I know is worth good money, but people are not wanting to buy.  I try to separate the stuff in selling types, like eBay, CL, yard sale and donations.  When do you just say its time to go... I hate to just give stuff away, but I don't want to keep it either....

I went to an estate auction Saturday just for something to do.  Normally, the auctioneer would run all the boxes of crappy stuff first, and then the good stuff.  Which means that I had to wait for hours. The only thing that I wanted was some old books.  I did end up paying $33.00 for the books, but there were 5 boxes of them.  There was a few copyrighted in the late 1800’s and a lot before 1915.  There was one book that got my attention.  “Junior Birdmen Standard Aviation Dictionary” 1935 co-authored by C.B. Colby.  I Googled it and found plenty of information about it, but no one has any for sale.  Looks like a good thing for Ebay.

I been looking for an enclosd trailer, and would like to find a used one.  People in my area are wanting to sel them for more then new ones.  Gold, I tell you they are made of Gold.

Is there a way to setup an CL account and have it to where you get an email when someone places an ad on it automatically.

Finally, I can down to my last truck load to move out.  I can see progress happening.  The wife just wants to donate it all, but I still see a few hundred bucks coming my way before donation time.  I have got to find a better way of buying and selling the stuff.  Easy to buy; longer to sell.  I have made a lot of money on the units, but I have to find a more productive way to sell.  I need to find a way to quit manhandling all the boxes of crap.  I think it is time to buy an enclosed trailer.

Whenever I die, my kids are going to hate me for keeping a lot of stuff out of the units.  I just can’t help myself, I’m not a hoarder, and I’m a collector of lots of things.  The funny thing of it is, when the wife and I was going thru this stuff we came to the beanie babies, 5 big totes full.  I asked her what do you want to do with them.  It took her 2 or 3 minutes to decide to  keep them.  What are we going to do with a thousand of them? 

Did I mention were are trying to move to Florida??

Well this is the month to get rid of all the junk from the units.   I will admit, I’m way ahead.  I’m telling myself this is the time to get rid of the junk/junk.   I just need to  have a better game plan, my really sucks.
