The Lounge / Re: "CASH FOR GOLD"

I thought about doing this, but at this time I do not think it is in my best intrest, maybe later though. I have some of the stuff already. But no where near all of it, or the finances to endure in that kind of investment.

I would take the VHS, just dont have the money right now, and it depends on quality as well as what they are. Once I get my computer fixed again, I will be able to import the video from VHS and digitize them to put on DVD.

Evictions are different.  Foreclosure clean ups require that you have E&O insurance and are bonded and licensed.  As an appraiser, I have to carry a mill in insurance.  As well as the fact that I do not take anything from any properties. 
   Most clean up crews get paid three to five hundred dollars per property, and believe me, they are rarely filled with a bunch of little rewards.  Normally they are merely trashed, including having people **** on the floor and plug the drains.

Ok so I need the insurance, which I will look into, how do I look it up in my local area for jobs to do? Or who do I try to approach, the bank?

Jroojr 79; you have a subscription to what?  I use Storage Treaures, Auction Zip and the chain websites, Uhaul, Ustore, Public. Any others you can suggest?

I use Auction Zip, Auctioneers Websites, chains, and then I use a local subscription. Storage Treasures I dont currently use as a subscription only because they dont list all the auctions, or even remotely close to it. To me I use it for the forums and the database of storage facilities for me to call.

Go to etsy.com and put in watch parts or clock parts and they have a lot of gears on there. One of the sellers said they had larger ones. Sorry, i did not copy the link for you...

Craigslist / Re: Phone Verification?

Hey jross, try eBay classifieds. This is a free site to post on. Just be ware of the scammers. They r more crafty than Cl. They call u from an interpreter line, or hearing impaired operator service. There are a few more free listing sites out there but I have not had much luck with them. Most of my sales come from craigslist or eBay classifieds.


Thanks for the tip, I thought ebay classifieds costed money, or I would have already started posting with them.

Haha sounds like u can almost make more goin an cleanin em out. **** that tho i bet they leave all types of surprises. See thats why i love this, u gotta care about something to pay rent for it. Ya.

Not always true, about 2 years ago, a couple got evicted from a house on my street. Well he got locked up, she got evicted. They left all kinds of stuff. Furniture was no good. But had left several boxes of brand new nikes, name brand clothing, tools. Landlord offered for anyone to clean the house that they could keep all the stuff. Well me and my wife jumped on that. Just wish I knew where I can get more opportunities like that.

I agree.  I'm a real estate appraiser normally, and 95% of my current work is foreclosures.  It's amazing what people leave behind (99.9% of it is pure trash), including slinging paint on the walls, kicking holes in them and, for some bizarre reason I still can't understand, they always take the doorbell from outside.  They leave the doorbell mechanical parts, but take the bell button. 
   And the appliances.  They always take the appliances and ceiling fans.
   Did one upper end home where they didn't damage a damn thing, but LEFT a pool table, exercise bike, bowflex and a lot of other large, very nice items.
   Whoever got the clean up job on that wound up walking off (and getting PAID) with about 5 grand in merchandise.  It was astonishing.

Thats the next thing I want to jump into, doing clean up on foreclosures and rentals. How do you get into that?

Well so far on my hoarders unit ive found bout 6 or 7 avon items still in box that I might be able to sell to an avon vendor at the flea market for cheap an oil painting in good condition. Have to get that apraised or find out about it. Tuns and tuns of .25, .50. & 1.00 items for a garage sale. 11.90 in dimes. So after all my costs I think I might either break even or lose money.

Out of curiousity how the hell do you get rid of christmas items? I got so many now im about to start throwing them out.

If the Xmas items are of good quality, the best time to sell them is mid october to mid january

As far as I know all storage facilities have auctions. Although I have called one facilitie that maintains they do not do auctions, but 2 months later I saw on my subscription that they indeed were going to have one.

Low price items like that I usually price double what I want to get for it, because there's always some cheap ass genius who wants to haggle from $1.00 to fifty cents.  (Why do they usually just pay the price on the larger items, but ***** over the little stuff?) Anyway, that way I get what I want out of it, even if they do dicker, and I usually make more than I wanted.
   They think they got one over on me, when I got what I wanted anyway at the worst.

Well hell, I was even throwing free stuff out there for people. They just cant walk over and get the free stuff though. I had it set up where if they bought $5 worth of merchandise they can dig out one thing out of the free boxes, sometimes I even let them have more free if I got off to them :)
