Sometimes you just never know what you will get. "storage units are like opening Pandoras box, you never know what you will get".

General Storage Auction Talk / I can see the Walls, really.
« on: August 02, 2013, 11:55:15 AM »
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??

Flea Markets / Haitian people ar flea markets, suck
« on: July 21, 2013, 09:02:47 AM »
Yesterday at the flea market went good, mad some money, donated some stuff, which equals to moving it.
When the haitian people come, it sucks, they will steal you blind. I lost what little respect I had for them.

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: What do you all do with the clothes you find?
« on: June 30, 2013, 08:25:31 PM »
Clothing sell good here, it sells, but I only try to get a dollar or two out of a pair of jeans or shoes. When I had time I place the nicer clothing on hangers and the old stuff got donated. One thing that I have learned really quickly, don't let a potential customer leave with your money..... I know that it might sound stupid, but if I look at he person and they look as if they are on a fixed income or just old and trying to survive I will sell it cheaper.

Wonderful, great day. Loaded up the trailer and truck full. Pulled up to the flea market around 6:30 and the professional buyers were checking it out. I never really had time to get stuff out of the boxes, so I just sat the boxes on the tables and started selling. I made well over 300 and did keep a few things that I didn't know I had in the boxes. At the end of the day, well about 12:30, we loaded back up and made a very generous donation drop off, to pay back for the good day.

Well, the funny thing is that some of the things that I have sold on eBay were bought to resell. A motorcycle jacket went to Costa Rica. Camera lens and vintage stereo equipment went to China. If your in an area that you can sell the stuff that would be a good thing.

You are a genius, great idea..
We have 5 tables, per space. I would be the only one doing this.
25 cent table
50 cent table
1 dollar table
5 dollar table
Negotiable table
You got to play by the dumb man’s rules. As they say “ the dumbest man in the land of nitwits is king”

To me, and maybe only me. Junk/junk is the stuff that is in the “pre” donated state. Last chance to squeeze out every possible hope of collection of cash from my victims.

« on: June 27, 2013, 10:04:29 AM »
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.

After all the shows cancel, we’ll have lower cost units. Maybe someday, I will find where everyone is getting their money from who are willing to give it away.

Flea Markets / Re: How often do you sell at a flea market?
« on: June 27, 2013, 09:51:05 AM »
Last week end I took a load of stuff the flea market, and did rather well. If someone is going to ask the price on something they must want it. I sure don’t, so the variable is dollars, their dollars in my pocket is better than in theirs. I know the guy next to me, must have hated me being there. The only thing that I have ever asked was to be paid for my quality junk and for you not to come back until you get more cash.
