SCORE!!!! Good one Mr. A!!! Where are you located? Tell me in the ATL area!!!

I am located in Memphis,TN.

Yeah this was a score, just the silver it self is $3500.00 with today's prices.

When it comes to VHS tapes and beanie babies, i am a collector, i have contact with other collectors, so selling beanie babies for their collectors value, 5-20 dollars is not hard. VHS tapes in mint condition i can get anywhere between 3 and 7 dollars for. But it has to be the right titles and in very good condition.

And as we all know when it comes to collectors stuff, it goes up and down. In 2-3 years from now you get a new collectors boom on lets say beanie babies, i have the time to sit on them if they don't sell for what i want for them. So i just sell them later at the next boom.


Beeing a collector is always a long term thing. My lockers is diveded into to two parts, things i can sell to pay for the unit and get my money back, + selling the collectbles. Typical collectors stuff i either keep or sell to fellow collectors. If that happends today or tomorrow or next year is not importent.

This week has been nuts.

I tell you, this week has been nuts, crazy and everything inbetween.

About 45-50 people at the auction, 14 of us the regulars, rest of the pack, new newbies that i have not seen before.
Well i did not know what was planned, but i got the clue pretty fast.
The regulars with deep pockets outbid everyone, bids starting at 400 dollars for a 5x5 with just trash. Every now and again they stuck a unit to the newbies for 1200-1400 dollars. Maybe worth 1/3 of that.

They pretty much sent a signal to the newbies, that if you want to be a part of it, then you better pay.
Some of the newbies left halfway thru the auction because they did not have enough money. LOL 3 newbies left after buying one locker becasue they spent it all. LOL

Well then we had this little "pecker" or shall i say "rat", he is a newbie who have been around for 3 or 4 auctions. He won a locker 4-5 weks ago, for 125.00 but he could not pay for it, so basicly he is bidding without money.

Well this got out, and he is running around bidding like a mad man up to 800-900 dollars, and he bids on every unit, does not matter what it is. Well some of the old guys found this out, they ran 3 lockers up to 650, 725 and 1100 and dumped it on him. Here is the funny part. He got so angry that he won the units, and complained that he had ADHD and could not be held responsible for his bidding. The auctioneer asked him if he had the money for the 3 units he won. He flat out said no, so the auctioneer asked him how he was going to pay for it. NO ANSWER.  This was the last time he is attending that auction tour.

Only ammo and gun parts and magazine for me so far.
But one of the regular  guys here in Memphis got a locker last month with 4 guns and a rifle in it. The rifle looked almost brand new.

I WANT MY GUN LOCKER TO!

For general stuff then ebay and CL are the best.
For more specific stuff then the others are better.

Like if you get aquarium stuff, then Aquabid is the best place.
Guns and related stuff, then go to gunbroker.

One thing i learned about selling clothing is.

Have a yardsale and advertise it in your local paper and CL. Then you go to your local mexican resturant and ask them if you can hang up a flyer.

My first yardsale i only put it on CL, and got ok response.
Thn i put an ad in the paper and a flyer at my local mexican resturant.

Let me tell you, you WANT mexicans to come to your yardsale. They goes totally bananas over clothing, i sold most of it for $1.00 a pice.
The thing with mexican's are, they are your best advertisement for cheap stuff, and they buy tons of stuff.

LOL ohh i know.

Yesterday i went thru 1 box and 3 black garbage bags i got in a unit i month ago. They have been in my storage collecting dust, becasue i thought it was junk.

Well the box had 9 brand new DVD's wrapped in plastic and a brand new hunting knife.

One of the black garbage bags was full of old magazines, and i did not think it was anything special, until i saw a collection of 6 old superbowl tickets and game programs. They are in 98% mint condition. They will slide right into my collection.
