What's it Worth?? / Re: Anyone have any idea what this is or value? 3D Sculpture / Painting Of Last Supp
« on: January 09, 2013, 09:50:11 AM »Hey guys, some of you guys who been around here may remember this piece, I asked about it several years ago on here. Still havn't sold it and still not sure what it is or value but figured since we have so many new members maybe someone knows something about it.
A Mexican at my flea market would pay $20 for it but that would only be if he hadn't read Cobia's analysis of it.

Reality Shows about Storage Auctions / Re: Storage Wars New York Season 1...January, 2013....Reviews
« on: January 08, 2013, 10:07:30 PM »
Only saw the last 10 minutes of one of the two new episodes tongiht (1/8/2013) but will catch them later on reruns.
I did see the two girls get an estimate on an Icom Ic7000 ham radio. Expert said $1K. Checked eBay. New ones for $1200 but one sold at $1K and another was at $600 with a few days left.
Have already decided I won't spend as much time on reviewing any of the shows. Interest is waning for me.

The Lounge / Do you have a Facebook account for your biz but don't have many "likes" ?
« on: January 08, 2013, 06:11:18 PM »
This is an interesting scam.
Sell people a list of "likes" to boost their profile on Facebook. Here's an npr article on the business.

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: Look at all these books that have been written about storage auctions!
« on: January 07, 2013, 10:00:44 PM »
Think about it.
Movies....Total Recall (1990)....Total Recall (2012) Same title, basic theme but variations. In that case they probably bought the rights and tuned it up for the present.
In the case of the written word however it certainly would be (IMO) a matter of the bulk of the content being lifted from the original author's work. As Alias said...how many variations can you have of French 101, or Basics of Biology, or True Love or Dangerous Minds ?

I have his picture, a picture of his house and of course his address. You make the other arrangements and it's a fait accompli.

Stories about Storage Auctions / Is there still money to be made at automobile auctions?
« on: January 04, 2013, 12:36:15 PM »
I've never done it myself, but I know of people who used to do quite well with buying autos at auctions.
Is that still the case or has that like everything else taken a hit?
