I am interested in the broken old stuff that nobody wants, so that I can fix it up and restore or re-purpose it. Solid wood only, no particle board, and no glass (ie. no mirrors or glass table tops). I am fine with broken drawers, cracked tops, busted or missing knobs, pulls, or handle. The older the better. It can be pretty rickety. Let's work together, and you will get to know what I can or cannot use pretty quickly. I will make it worth your while either with cash, or reduced dump fees, or reduced space in your trailer and storage unit.

Am I allowed to post a phone number on here? My email is jpaulirwin at gmail if you want to email me.

I have searched because I am sure this has been gone over a million times, but I can't find the right thread. What do you guys do to get the lockers contents moved? Do you hire a moving company? Do you hire a couple of teens from the neighborhood? Do you just do it yourself? I am looking, as we all are, for the least expensive option, but I am willing to spend a little money so that I don't have to move my stuff in 100+ Texas summer heat.

Thanks!

Broke my cherry today in a series of storage locations, and finally picked up the last locker when I was the only one interested in the nicer antiques. I guess they didn't know what was there. I saw $300 as my max bid, because I knew I could get that for what I saw, and ended up buying it for $150...so I am very happy. Will go back tomorrow to load up and dig through. Anyway, I found most of the people to be nice, and the experience was pretty much what I thought it would be. Of course, I have been doing my homework too. Anyway, my name is Paul, I like antiques, especially Shaker and Colonial items that are medium sized. Bowls, crock pots, decorative items, etc would be my main staple. I don't want junk, I like the items that sell for $50-$100 each. It is somewhere between the flea market and thrift store guys I faced today, and the high end auction people looking for formal mahogany china cabinets. Hope to see you all out there!
