General Storage Auction Talk / Re: Mattresses

No problem, Trying to keep track of time spent to see if it is worth it.

I lot of the crafty things I see might be cool but take way to long to produce to make money.

Love the ones you can just slap together and sell for a good price.

So hopefully can figure out something easy for the springs.

Tried to post a pic of a re-purposed trampoline. Crash..

We turned one into a green house. It was free.

googled it this morning after reading about them selling.

Some good ideas out there. But it would take a crafty place to sell them not the run of the mill Flea.

If I come up with anything that is worth a picture I will post.

Where is Buldogmom? Bet she has some ideas.

So you are ready for the zombies.....

Sad but you are right, How can you be taken seriously with that on the side of it.

But anything with real bullets is serious.

General Storage Auction Talk / Mattresses

Taking this from the Auction scene.

Mattress springs selling and crafts.

Have two crib mattresses and one single mattress. Took maybe 10 minutes to remove the plastic cover on the crib mattress nice white padding underneath pulled off into two pieces. Great for shipping. What was left was all the metal springs easy scrap, all in one piece.

The twin took a little longer (needed a new razor blade). Maybe 30 minutes to remove outer cover. Never done it before so a little time for learning curve. Have to wait on husband to get home to get the wire cutters out of the tool box to finish. Not sure how the the spring covers will come off.

On the plus springs on the twin are nice and rusty has been laying around for a while.

And they are selling on Ebay... Not for much as MovieMan pointed out.

Will see what I can come up with for the use of them or easy scrap.

The cover off the twin would make a nice furniture moving blanket like StorMe said.

That is great Money. I'm still trying to figure out where / when to hold a sale. I hit a few up Saturday before my auction. All of them looked to be doing pretty good. People digging in the cloths and stuff. Even buying all the coffe cups, plates, etc.

Good luck on your next one.

Not my sale.... Monkeybusiness.

Wished it was mine, the delay in the yard selling / Flea selling is making me work on the ebay stuff, Sold all three items I put on last Tuesday.

Weather kept.Had the sale.Did $387.00.

Realized i may be getting to old for this.

Nice job.

They wear me out too. Want comment if age related or not.

Always smile after sale of how much less there is to put up, and the cash helps.

Plotting our next sale, Husbands new job running into the weekends so leaves me hanging on when and how much I can do alone. And sometimes that is not much.
