its interesting to say the least but unless im reading that wrong the average sale seems to be about $2

Maybe MY math is wrong; I took $117 million in sales and divided by 6 million sales to get an average of $19.50 per sale.

Anyone want to try a third math calculation so we can get some consensus?

Many of us use Clist to sell with varying degrees of success at different times of the year.

I find it very useful and just like eBay, sometimes you have to bide your time or change your
approach to get the best results.

Here are some BASIC statistics on the Clist reach.  I'll post more specifics later.

They're at it again !

Reality TV is cheap and popular so Spike has contracted for 3 NEW series and renewed one old one.

The term "unscripted" is a real misnomer of course. They go into these shows with a perspective in mind, with
a set of characters picked for a variety of "types" and once the footage is shot there is "editing" for the effect they wish
to achieve to get the ratings they want.

See the article at TV Guide online link below.

or perhaps there is something in Mike's contract w/ SWNY that restricts it.

And that would fall under #2 above and if that was true it wouldn't take much for someone to say "Sorry, our contract doesn't allow that."

If I were the producers I wouldn't allow many interviews with them....no telling what info might slip out.

Meanwhile, what's the latest on getting Mike from Storage Wars New York on Utah radio ?

I guess the following is true:

1) an invitation wasn't extended to Mike.
2) an invitation was extended but not accepted.
3) an invitation was extended and accepted but we never heard anything about the broadcast (or upcoming broadcast)

I'm finding expensive art to be hard to get rid of.

We should ALL have it that tough!  Time will prove an ally in your cause to get the value out of them.

I went to one of 5 possible auctions today because it was the closest and often has good lockers. It did have one good locker.

It also had 50 people....40 of whom were new and got most of the lockers at double their worth.  The 10 x 20 that was last looked very good and I thought (based on earlier buys that went for incredible prices) that it would go for $1700 to $2200). It went to a regular who paid $2300. If the 10 or so boxes have great stuff in them he will make money. The big stuff would only pan out at around $800 or so.

Three of the 5 lockers there were 5 x 5s and went in the $150 to $300 range. One I remember had two bikes ($75 each new) and one box and one bag. Went for $250.  A 10 x 10 (not full) went for $800. Unbelieveable, but true.

Nope, this biz is going nowhere for me in CA. Hopefully other states are in better shape.

Meanwhile, I'll keep picking one item at a time.

At virtually "all" the flea markets in my immediate area the vendors bring their own tables ?

How do fleas do it in your area?
