Unfortunately , We are seeing this in the pricing at  yard sales , they won't budge on there overly inflated prices , " Because they saw something similar on ( Insert Show Name here ) and think it's worth a LOT more then the LOW price they have it  at .
  Either that or they searched it on Fee Bay and thats what they are selling for.
When You ask them was that the Buy it Now price that it didn't sell at ? or the actual selling price ? You just get the Deer in The Headlights Stare as You turn and walk away .

  We never had a problem with U.S.P.O. Money Orders and I would take one of them over Prey Pal any day . ( The Postal Inspectors are not leg breakers , but they get the job done )
 My former neighbor ( other side of duplex / not the two on TV from across the street  ) took a MO on Craig's for a snow mobile ( I tried to warn Him ) and the bank took him to court for theft / fraud of $ 3800.

  I can't comment on the loan part , but I think You might be in for a shock when You get Your quote for " Commercial " insurance on Your trucks and trailers ( they tried to restrict Me to 250 mi. and priced out a pick up with a 12 ft. and 18 ft. utility trailers the same as a commercial tractor trailer rig $ 3300.00 ? 
  Also don't forget about Your General Liability Policy , mine is $ 1300.
   Here in Mass. and a lot of other states , if You use the vehicle to make money         ( even a trailer used to tow your kids go cart that they can win a trophy with ) that is  considered Commercial Use in there money grabbing eyes and needs to meet All the requirements of a Commercial Vehicle Registration .
  Ex. ( My 18 ft Cam-Superline  flat bed car hauler requires a $ 129. DOT Commercial Vehicle Inspection every year in Mass. )
  It's this model = camsuperline.com/Trailers/Construction/5.php

   Here in New England the Fri. yard sales are only held by people here from the Left Coast , the rest of the folks hold them on Sat. with  a few on  Sun.

  Sorry Your grandmother got burned on Fee Bay  the stories on there forums  by dealers being scammed for items not received  ( evan after they provided Fee Bay with the E Mail  where the person liked the item )  and the SNAD scam's that are growing every day .
  You do have to read " Very Fast " as they are taking down negative post as fast as they find them .

  At least She didn't lose over $ 12,000. like this scammed seller did .

  Hit an auction Mon. july 18th on the Mass./Nh. border to see if the crowds are still coming out .
Yup , 35 or so bidders with only 5 or 6 real bidders there . One couple even brought there kids a guess at 8 and 10 plus Gram and Gramps pushing the baby , and they ALL had to file by the doors and look in . 
  Started out with 16 lockers , two from a contractor 1 locker filled with junk and used boards and an outside parking space with a ladder and a bunch of long old boards .( No takers )
 Also another owner with three lockers ,one filled solid with used peg boards , one with short 1 X 6 boards and one solid with 2 X 4 framed walls for the particle board ( no Takers )
  One 5 X 10 that when the door was opened  ,  cases of chrome plumbing fittings for sinks tumbled out , (went for $ 240 )and the door was wedged at 1 1/2 ft.
 Others went for $ 400 to $ 800 ( one had two dome tents and boxes )
Best one with Arcade game and packed with neat boxes started at $ 500 and shot up to $ 2000.
 I will see him Sun. and see what he got in His 4 lockers .
 I did talk with the Auctioneer  and His show  with Alan and Ton in East Boston is airing tonight .
Only comment made by someone that was there , was that when the camera wasn't on Him , Ton was a chimney .

  You can definitely run out of an apartment and a storage locker , We live in  Duplex with a very A*** landlord and started out with a 10 X 20 unit and a trailer hitch on our car.
 We would bring the goodies home and sort them in the back yard for that weekends flea market , or trash run .                                                                                                                                                We now have two 10 X 30 contractor lockers W/ lights & Elec. along with a p/u truck , a one ton maxi van ,  a  7 X 12 ft. and a 18 ft. flatbed car hauler all stored in storage lots .
and only sell now on nice weather days
