Value Village also seems like they have donations from manufacturers. I can go to one location find something that looks new with tags or packaging and then go to another location months later and find the same thing in bulk. I'm in DC. There pricing here seems really good. They offer 25% off on Mondays and 25% on Thursdays if you have their card.

Does anyone know how to find out the dates for the Pods auction?

I called the 800 number they refuse to give me the local number. I'm not sure what papers to look in to find the listings. I'm in DC/ MD/ VA.

Has anyone bought a car out of state and sold it without going to pick it up?

I'm looking for some tips.

My first unit had:

A Bullet Proof Vest
35 Pairs of New Sneakers
Over 1000 ink pens
Over 50 Bottles of Body Wash
Over $1000 in School Supplies
Over 200 boys cars- small like Hot Wheels and some remote controls
Over 100 bottles of pills
Over 100 Brain X-Rays
Over 50 Hair Relaxers
A Crazy amount of Maxi Pads
Over 30 Winter Coats
Eviction Papers
A women's purse with her ID, wedding ring and a large amout of lottery tickets
Papers proving her son was taking from her by CPS
Tons of used flash lights

I could go on and on. I was a great first locker for $90.

Bandit those auctions are great.

I bought a server rack. Won it for a low price. Advertised it on Craigslist. Found a buyer and had him meet my son there. The buyer paid for it and removed it.

I sold the server rack having never seen it in person.

I didn't have to remove it or store it.

Nice. Try them out someday and let us know how it works out for you.

No I did not bite the dust. Just been crazy busy.

So to recap.

250 pieces of Office Furniture total

Located in a Government Warehouse like facility that is only accessible by calling one person to come open it for me.

Furniture is gorgeous and super super sturdy. (Larger and heavier than I thought it was because I did not view it before bidding on it)

Once won I didn't know how to move it.
1. I showed it to an office liquidator. They said they wanted to buy it but go scared once they saw how big of a project it would be.
2. I showed it to neighbors who wanted to get large amounts of pieces but chickened out once they saw how bulky the pieces were.
3. I showed it to a furniture store owner who also chickened out.
4. I advertised for buyers that wanted at the least 20 pieces of furniture at once. I found 2 buyers. One showed and only want 5 pieces but not that day maybe a week later after he got back from vacation. The second was about to enter the building 15 minutes later but the guy who opened the building had to go do something so we all had to leave. The second guy actually wanted 20 pieces but didn't view anything and didn't come with a truck anyway.

All of these showings were on seperate days. Since I only got about 15 minutes in the building per visit.
All of these showings were a waste of my time.

Okay take a breath.

I got brave, joined this forum for advice and decided move 30 pieces at a time to my house and sell it off for $20 per piece for non cherry wood and $40 for cherry wood pieces. Please understand that these pieces easilly retail for $250 and up per piece but because I had 250 pieces to move it fast I made the pieces really low so I could do another pick up of 30 pieces.

I hired a mover for $80 on craigslist. Moved the first batch to my house and they sold in about a week. Cherry pieces sold in a few hours. (I sold them through craigslist.)

Second batch went fine.

Third batch I fould a person that wanted the remaining 120+ pieces. GREAT

but.........Because I suppose to have removed the furniture in 10 days and was still moving it 6 weeks later and
Because the guy who opens the building no longer wanted to open the building just for me and Because no matter how many time I asked they were not willing to charge me the $10 per day storage fee for every day that I did not remove the furniture THEY TOOK THE FURNITURE BACK

I sold half

Furniture Lessons learned:

Do be afraid on it
You will need a box truck or a trailer to move it alond with at least two hand trucks and dollies.
Some pieces will get chipped and scratched in the move but for a low price people will not care.
White people love cherry wood.
Place in in a storage facility at offers a deep discount for a month.
Try to get warehouse space just for a weekend

When I sold the items from my house my living room and kitchen was covered with book shelves. I looked crazy but the money was good. Have yourself a furniture yard sale.

Try finding a auctioneer with a warehouse that can store and auction off your items.

So anyway I paid $50 for 250 pieces of Executive Office Furniture. I sold half. Had half taken away. Learned a lot.

Would I do it again. Yes   

Thanks Movieman I did look at your like that's where I got the idea to contact office liquidators. I got one office liduidator interested but he can't deal with it before I have to move it out. I got people who want to buy less than twenty items each even though I advertised for people to buy 20 items or more. It's not in a location where I can have people in and out of there a lot. I contacted a mover to assist people yesterday he never showed. Without him people didn't buy anything because they were relying on him to move it. I lost almost a grand in sales yesterday. Frustrated.
