Not to disappoint anyone, but they're still filming episodes.

Can't speak for everyone here, but I'M disappointed !

Yep, they were as green as could be and proved it. At least most of the newbies are lookeyloos (another problem of course) and don't make that kind of mistake, but there are all variations in between.

All of your newbie mistakes and item "possibilities" ring pretty true but of course there are exceptions to some of them. I think I have gotten 3 hand-held game systems over the years..PSPs...and some games to go with them. I'm sure on one of them that the little girl had the game at dad's house (he probably bought it for her for when she was visiting him) and when dad folded it went in storage.

I have gotten a half dozen or so gameboys, but they are so outdated they're a poor seller if at all.

Now guns? Well there are a few of us on here who have gotten a half dozen or so, but by in large one would have to be a real idiot to leave them in a locker (either that or knew they were going to jail and didn't trust anyone on the outside with them).  The big lkr I just got had the nice "gun box" for cleaning rods, etc and there was a bench rest too. Hoping to "trade" the former owner some big items for a gun.

The way things have been going this month, when I come back from my holiday in June, I may not recognize a soul at the auctions!

Sorry we won't have your attendance reports for those several auctions...would be good to hear.

I haven't been to any of the big auctioneer's auctions for awhile in my area and haven't talked to the other guys about crowds. The last unit I got (big one) only had 10 in attendance, but 30 miles away other auctions were going on that had drawn most of the regulars.

Yep, SW (the original) starts season 3 in June.

I think it was the straw that broke the back of storage genre

anyone else see the light threw the clouds.

I hope you're right !  No news on new episodes of Texas, BUT the original Storage Wars starts a new 3rd season in June, 2012 AND THEY ARE THE POPULAR ONES. 

I think the population in general hits the reruns of the original SW just periodically, but if they get interested they probably seek out other episodes, and if they get wind of the new season it might generate some more newbies.

I think I have read in other forums that doll houses take a looonnnngg time to sell, but hold your price and you will get what your asking. You may have to just store it away and wait till about October and sell it around Christmas season.

Yep, you can bet it's going to be a long haul to sell this one both because of the "niche" factor and the expense.
But, there are birthdays, etc throughout the year, and for a high ticket item like this, maybe Christmas isn't the ONLY chance, but I agree it IS the best chance. Going to be a storage problem if it doesn't sell in the first month !

It's $5,000 and 100 transaction in the 12 month trailing period, plus certain minimum DSRs. In June or July, they're lowering it to 100 transactions and $1,000.

Alloro is right about making the discount harder to get, with those new return and shipping requirements.

I'm just over 900 feedback and at Bronze level. For me the current requirements for the 20% credit on final fees is $3,000 in sales...100 transactions.

If they charge say $15 in fees the 20% discount would make it a $12 fee instead.  Personally, I'm not going to give the buyers 2 weeks to return something and ship in just one day....not worth it to me. I know, I know, it adds up if you have "x" number of sales in a month.

One of my cronies thinks that it IS a big deal and during this trial period he has already started the 1 day shipping and 2 week return policy.

Nope, not me.

Just wanted to say Congratulations on your locker.

I am unable to participate in the thread listed above.   

Just cannot pull it off with this equipment. (laptop). After 4 attempts and crashing my browser, did an update on computer reloaded some programs. Was able to read the post but no pictures. but that took 15 minutes  Learning  some patients here.  Had a similar problem on the Safe thread but it would load. . Am sure it is hardware not operator error. 

Really glad you got a good one.

Thanks, Money !

As far as the threads not coming up it might be a combination of the picture sizes taking a lot of load time, and the processor in your laptop AND maybe the connection speed as well. 

Today I learned alot about the dollhouse in my lkr.

It's mounted on a green baseboard simulating grass, and the whole thing is sitting on a nice
oak cabinet (double doors with two shelves inside).  The man who owned the lkr made the oak base.

Found the plan book in the house and looked it up on eBay. Here's the link.

Then I did a google search and found out the house is available AS A KIT !

Home depot link to dollhouse kit:

Long story short the kit is $375. Now I have to find the grandpa out there who wants to make a dollhouse for his
grand-daughter but maybe would be better off just buying it already made. AND I have to figure out if I can pawn off the base on a buyer of the dollhouse.  A dilemma and suggestions will be appreciated.

Also need to look up a dollhouse thread we had here a few months ago. I remembed wishing the guy good luck getting more than he paid for it. Don't think we ever heard. Now that I have one myself I'm all GUNG-HO on the subject !
