Flea Markets / Re: flea market rantings ravings and perhaps a tip or 2
« on: February 08, 2012, 03:46:16 AM »


speaking of books
books seem to sell well for me in the spring and fall not so much in the summer
bibles , religion , self help , how to and coffee table books sell alright (note i am not an amazon seller so i could be losing out on these but i just dont have the time to do it)
ethnic history and related books sell very well if you have the right person for it , black history will do well if you have a large black customer base , but wont sell worth a damn if your clientel are all hasidic jews, KNOW YOUR MARKET
novels so so at best for me
romance i chuck em or donate them


There is big money to be made on amazon with religion books. They sell fast and the sell at a premium price.

I was super lazy one time and saw a makita drill that looked exactly like the one i was going to sell on CL and stole their photo.  Guilty;>  I was just too damm lazy that day to get up and spend 30 seconds taking a pic.  I hope they didn't see it.

Craigslist / Listing On CL Advice
« on: February 07, 2012, 11:58:41 PM »
Here are few things that I do that have helped get more sales and top dollar on CL. If anyone else has any ideas plz chime in.

1: I list free local delivery.

This had led to a ton of sales on refrigerators and furniture. Over 50% of the sells I deliver and they buy just off the CL pics posted, because they don't have transportation.

2: I try to always take pictures with the storage unit seen in the back of the picture. I don't know why but I have gotten higher dells volume since I started this practice.

3. I put we accept Visa Paypal And Cash. Square.com has a free app for your smart phone to take credit cards.

4. I give out business cards to every sell and ask them if they are looking for anything else. Often times I have what they need already and up sell them.

5. The obvious.... always post pictures

The Lounge / Re: Cartomizers for e cigarettes

Ok some better info, sorry. I have over 3000 four packs of cartomizer cartridges for e-cigs. A few hundred flavored atomizer cartidges. about 100 e-cigs. 

The cartomizer carts are from freedomsmokeless.net click on atomizer cartridges. Yes I am willing to split up the lot. I just dont want to be selling to 1000 different people, I just don't have the time for that.

Not so sure about standard and all that bs, these e-cigs are confusing for me. I can send you some very detailed pics if you like. PM me for my email. 

I sent you a pm as well.

How loud is that Alarm.  The problem is when you go to the next auction they go hit your locker. The staff at these facilities are confused to say the least. They don't know who is supposed to be in the locker.  The last time when i got back to the locker about an hour later the staff says "hey your workers left the lock off your unit!" I was like wtf?

Thinking about getting a cellular alarm of some sort.

There has been a rash of lockers being broken into after the auctions.  It has been a lot of the top teir lockers. I have a few of my own get hit.  They either cut your lock or the hasp on the door so there is no real way to keep them out.  Its allways the bigger units 10 x 20 and up that I have heard of so far.

The Lounge / Cartomizers for e cigarettes
« on: February 03, 2012, 04:09:53 AM »
I picked up about 3k cartomizers for e-cigarettes. They have a retail value of 7.95 each. That's not my style though, just looking to move them fast.  I looking for 6 grand for the lot.  Anyone wants to pick them up you can sell them for four times that but it will take a few months.  Unless you know people that own smoke shops than you could probably move them for 12 k fast. I don't know any smoke shop people.  Please post here or PM me if you are interested. And no don't bother trying to low ball me. Do your homework before doing such a foolish thing and understand the good deal your already getting.

One of the first units i saw had  a radio in it.... I wanted to bid but I  dicided I wasn't going to bid until I got the hang of it.  I wasn't sure what it was.  After it drove me crazy all day I did some research.  It turns out it was a rare sony shortwave radio crf-320, Sells on ebay for over $700.00.  And yes the locker went for $80.00.  OMG!

Hello.  Saying hi from so cal to see if there are others in the area.   I took the dive today and went out to the auctions.  Saw 26 auctions today at 4 facilities and only bid on one.  Well... the bid went to high and to say the least it was a fun day.
