I think you're getting Craigslist confused with Backpage.com.   

I think you're getting Backpage.com confused with Backdoor.com. 

I wonder why I've never seen any of the ads.

It is a puzzle. Maybe you should give up buying lockers and spend more time online.

How do you all deal with strange military surplus stuff?

I research it as best I can and then put it on eBay. In my opinion only eBay will bring the best results
for something like this as collectors will look there if not first, then second. They may know places they would look first, but you don't want to sell to THOSE GUYS because then THEY will make the money.

This isn't your typical auction story....proceeds will go to charity.  Here's one link to where the car is currently sitting in Manteca, CA at a Ford dealership.  There are also YouTube videos of the car.

Car is valued at 1.5 million...be interesting to see what it goes for.  Buy it, move it around the country and charge admission !

Here's a link to some online (5 I think) auctions in Sacramento, CA.  They end at 6 pm 2 3 14 Pacific time.

When I used to go to this chain they were all bad lockers and the chain had a bad rep. Don't know what their rep is now.

Photos taken from the door just like a live auction.  Good luck buyers !

That's low based on the source I'm using, but let's see what other readers here think.

Someone probably said the same thing to the Wright Brothers. 

The differences between you and them are numerous, but the chief one is they were only trying to overcome gravity.

I like the red sculpture, is that one of the pieces you bought? I also like a few of the pieces of art leaning against the wall. Do they have an Asian influence?

No, I thought about it but the base is broken on one corner. The guy who bought thought he would just jury-rig it with some black cardboard, but I didn't want to work on repairing it and wasn't sure it would sell. He has a corner in his antique stall for mid-century modern which this piece very broadly falls into.

He also bought one piece of the flat art. After buying it he found the documentation on the back and was happy it had originally sold for $250. Art prices on non-name artists leave a lot to be desired in my book. He only paid maybe $20 for it so he should make money anyway.

Overall the locker wasn't that great, but I'm picky and limited in my selling venues.
