man do I ever..the wall of leftovers, I figured had a ton of flea market stuff $1.00 $2.00 an item... the locker itself I saw the saws/tools and pools stuff, I've got a guy that buys all my tools / workman stuff & another guy for pool related ( but looking back on my bid , what was I thinking? lol)..the Boat Motor /Fuel can, cuz I live on the beach, i woulda killed it $ wise,I mean KILLED IT,their are so many fixit yourself guys around here,it's crazy...and to the Princess lady ,I wish the best of luck

I just got done reading a post in another category here that involved Nike Clothing... which got me thinking  about my ALMOST (lol) sure fire / guaranteed / slam dunk profit / money maker .. not huge but steady for years now.... I periodically hit all the Good Wills ,Salvation Armys,Charity thrift stores,etc.  looking for NIKE Dri Fit clothing.. any size, any logo, any style, any color ( golf,work out training,athletic long or short sleeve,men's ,womens,whatever).. the shirts are usually $2 to $5.00 ... as long as they are in good condition with normal usage they'll bring double sometimes triple on eBay.... I got tired of listing them individually, so I now stockpile them at my storage locker and when I get 6 or 8 or 10 of the same size I sell " Lot" shirts with a Buy it Now of triple what i have invested and after a week online I allow them to make an offer... always getting double my input for any offer..they ship cost effectively because of the ease of packaging and being so lightweight... check out this link for an ebay search of "used lot nike dri fit shirts " for examples ...  >>>  http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=lot+nike+dri+fit&_sadis=200&_ipg=200&_adv=1&_sop=16&LH_ItemCondition=4&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&LH_Sold=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&_dmd=1&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=lot+nike+dri+fit+shirts&_sacat=0   <<<<

Nathan,Nathan,Nathan,what am I gonna do with you?    .. I get offended by self appointed ,"important" know it all professionals.. so yes you did prove your point... if your questions were private ,why expect answers in public ? going to friendly competitor facilities and asking " how's it going ?" should not be made to sound like a Board of Director's meeting of a Secret Selling Society.... the industry I successfully retired from is larger than yours ( hahahaha     ) and tighter and with more tips to share.... if you want to know the secrets to "closing a sale", (even though semi-retired,that's my real job)..  For $4,000.00 ( plus travel expenses) I'll give you one week  of ( to quote my presentation intro letter) "The MAIN thing is to increase your company value.Consultative Selling emphasizing client needs and meeting those needs with solutions combining products and/or services."...Listening,understanding, and providing,with  the goal of excellent ROI, happy customers, engaged employees and simple procedures" and lastly there is absolutely zero being accomplished by your posting here ( and my childish replies ) so let's not continue in this style..if it ain't positive , don't say it,,,agreed?

Movie Man..you're right,my post here towards her was way too personal... Sarahwhatever please accept an apology.. sometimes I like to rant

I like Travis' idea for you... bombard craigslist with each item you'll bring to the "favorable demographic" area and the time/location.... as for being non social the key to any sale is building value.. so when people show up at your selected location simply have a printed piece of paper right next to or under your item showing an ebay/amazon/etsy etc. of the same/ similar item asking several dollars more than your asking price... then when they ask "what's your best price?" ... simply say ( without rushing the response) " well as you can see, I'm asking far less than market value, what were you thinking dollar wise?''..people tend to believe printed info and and your presentation is low key/ non confrontational...

ok ,let me get this straight, you've got a straight up $550 offer at your place.... the guy offers $50.00 if you deliver,makes all types of explanations as to what it will take to "refurbish", nitpicks the product,fails to see value,realizes that doing this type of work ain't like TV,then quits his 1 week career in the auction business to go back to selling insurance?... don't insurance guys portray themselves as long term planners,showing benefits of doing business with them because of their great stability and commitment to do the best job possible for their potential clients?.. I think I'll submit a new rule to Jethro Gibbs to be placed right next to his "lawyers" rule..."never involve insurance salesmen"

well a week later things have gone great with this stuff I got from the consignment guy from CraigsList... the RailRoad Books I sold to one collector for $700.00...some cameras and accessories have sold for $320 so far but here's one I didn't even realize how good a score it was ... an 8 Track!!! ( I hate 8 tracks more than books,lol..well maybe not so much anymore,hahahaha )...the auction description ......

"NEW in BOX PONTIAC 1972,1973,1974 8-track demo tape GTO,Grand Prix,Firebird.
 So COOOOOOLLL!!!!.
Original,Real Deal,Authentic Plastic Wrapped,Unopened,Unused
After some online research I'm pretty sure that:
 This is an early 70's Pontiac 8-track tape cartridge that was used for demonstration of the 8-track tape player in your new Pontiac. This was given to customer if car was equipped with an 8-track. I do not have an 8 track player to test this. A great display item at the car show in your classic GTO,Grand Ville,Bonneville,Trans Am , Firebird,Grand Prix or any other Pontiac.
 Though it appears to have been safely & securely stored ,I have no idea if it functions."

 THE RESULT......
....... it hovered in the high $20.00 range until the last few minutes of the auction..... then ...BAM ....
final selling price..... $282.77 .... amazing... and the guy paid like 3 minutes later... crazy,right?
( i can't figure out how to insert an image so below is a link to the auction result)... how the hell are images attached? ( yes,i hit the icon but then i get this >>>    <<<< ,now what???
