Good tip, I always continue to repost like you said because you want to be seen  by people browsing not only by people searching for your specific item.

I normally don't take down my old ads however you have a good point with that. Especially with cars. When I'm searching for a specific make and model and I see the same guys ads for the Cadillac Eldoraro $2000, few days later $1800, few days later $1600. I know there's not much interest or its priced too high for cl and know I can lowball them.

I'm too lazy to message you for the link so would ya just post it already...lol

Some of you may disagree but personally I think there's kind of an unspoken etiquette that if you got 5 units on a slow auction day don't continue buying every unit, leave something out there for others.

Movieman, unfortunately not by the lot...I WISH...man I thought the bikes were never going to end. The auctioneer was going into great detail about every bike as well, would not only say the brand and model but talk about this one has the dual springs the bike is actually two parts that connect with a suspension, yadayadayada yada.

I had heard they were like this and would have liked to go like 3 hours into it but wasn't sure if you had to register so got there early.

Tons of jewelry and with gold and silver prices so high even ugly stuff coudl be good money for scrap but I got there an hour early adn still wasn't able to sit at the jewelry counter to inspect stuff. Jewelry was sold in lots, they would put watches, rings, necklaces, etc in a plastic sleeve almost like a baseball card sleee. They would fill each slot so some bags were full of crap costume jewelry adn others were filled with what looked to be engagement ring, chain, watches, etc. Those tended to go fro anywehre from $100 - $250.

In Chicago we have a lot of boosters so lots of stuff still factory sealed with store tags. There must have been 2 dozen of these camping cots still in boxes.

I'm curious to see what teh US Marshals auction is like. They probably go after higher level criminals so I'd guess nicer stuff than just what some crackhead boosted from Walmart.

My next mission is to check out a post office auction.

Went to a Chicago Police Dept auction yesterday. They have it right near 26th and California which is a notoriously bad area and of course they make it a cash only auction so you gotta go into this bad neighborhood with a couple thousdand bucks on you great lol.

I was pretty happy with how prices were. Some prices got crazy but other things were really low. For certain items people were paying over retail for stuff but other stuff was deals.

There were lots of lots of 100 burnable dvd's which you can get on ebay for $15.88 free shipping and people paid as much as $25.

I was surprised at how much stuff was still new in wrappers, factory sealed, etc.

That's pretty good in terms of numbers. In my area no matter how bad the locker its tough to pick up anything under $100 these days.

I'll always look stuff up on ebay just as a quick reference but I dont use ebay as a guide for value, especially for collectible stuff. Often times the price you'll get if you actually seek out collectors is completely different than ebay.

I was doing some research online and guys were saying $18 to $60 where as like you said on ebay I saw several for under 10 bucks. Mine isn't in the best shape though.
