Hey guys, not sure if I'll have any luck here but was going to try to sell my domain freestorageauctionlists.com. I used to put a fair amount of time into it but to be honest for the past 6 months or so I just havn't had the time. I have another online ecommerce business and a few other blogs which I'm a bit more interested in at the current time. Storage auction for me are more a hobby these days moreso than a business. I thought someone else with more time might be able to do more with it than myself.

Early on I did a lot of linkbuilding and buidling backlinks. It used to have a very strong following, following has dropped off a bit since I havn't been posting as much. I post storage auctions as well as have a blog section with some tips and just commenting on the industry.

It's worth about $1200 to me in completely passive income just off adsense and probably a bit more if I take ebook sales into consideration as well. I know storage auctions aren't as hot as they used to be and are on a bit of a downturn. To someone who already has storage auction listing sites this could be of some value to you.

I'd like to get $1200 or basically a year of ad revenue from it but open to offers. I've never sold or transferred a domain before so may need some assistance transferring it over to you after the sale but I've done it before so just need a helping hand and shoudln't be a problem.

I'd be more than happy to give you all the content on the site as well as the blogspot page that it's currently forwarded to as well.

Thanks

It's weird, since I've opened the shop, I've bought at storage auctions less. I was up over 4 a month. Now I'm at 1 maybe, if it's really good. Recently the weather's been bad which is keeping the people at home instead of shopping here, plus all the sales that the big box stores are doing, so I may HAVE to buy to put something sexy up on craigslist. But it's been a total bummer so far this month.

I think that people who are in this as a business soon find out that there are other avenues to acquire goods. Storage auctions are good, but it's tougher to make money as you said.

You can pick privately or at yard sales and you get to fully inspect before making an offer, thus it's easier to make your profit.

You can attend a piece auction and get much better prices than you would have 10 years ago because nobody goes anymore. I say that out of my experience locally, I know that some parts of the country still pack the house at their local auctions.

I see a big upswing in clean out services locally. I think people are tired of paying for their inventory.

do you have any luck moving bikes? if so id definately recommend visiting a police auction. in chicago literally the first 2-4 hours are nothing but bikes and you can pick them up dirt cheap. it kinda sucks cuz i dont have an interest in bikes but they do the inspections before auctions start so if you want a chance to see stuff up close you gotta arrive early and sit thru the bikes auctions but man like hundreds of bikes going for $5 and $10 a piece. even the treks and nicer brands are like $40

I know some of us have been fulltime auction buyers, some part time. I know years ago alot of us were thinking about quitting our day gigs and giving this a go fulltime or opening stores. I was just curious how many of you guys have gone from part time buyers to fulltime buyers and have since gone back to working for an employer or gone back to your old careers. It just seems to hard to make money these days even with crowds down.

pinterest can be a great sales tool. hell this lady on sharktank the other week basically built her business using pinterest, people loved these high boot socks she sold, she was number 1 pinterest photo of the year and did like over 2 mill in sales her first year.

taht said pinterest would be better for a chef or someone who did crafty things, i dont think a used blueray player is really going to get a lot of looks. if you have your own website however maybe you could drive traffic to it and create some backllinks with pinterest.

one idea if any of you guys are creative, like working with you rhands, crafty, inventing things, etc maybe try repurposing some junk like using the springs out of an old mattress to make a bench or something like that. thats the stype of stuff that will be good on pinterest

So, fight the CC dispute since you can show the package was delivered.

the problem is sometimes paypal gives you a chance to provide a tracking number, othertimes they give the money back and just tell you its been charged back. i recently had one of those for $800.

sometimes paypal gives you a chance to refund but basically its out of paypals control. paypal can fight it on your and their behalf to an extent but if the credit card company decides to issue the chargebakc your screwed

Kind of ironic I just posted the other day about ebay and paypal seller protection and disputes and then have another issue. Wondering if you guys run into this.Lately I've had a lot of people instead of opening up ebay or paypal claims just disputing with their credit card which most ofthe time paypal doesn't even ask for info disputing custoemrs dispute just gives money back.

Recently had a stupid buyer. Where is my package. I tell him your tracking shows delivered, check with others in your household if someone didnt grab it for you let me know and Ill help you file a dispute, you'll get your money back paypal will cover the loss and not me since shipped and show delivered.

About 6 emails and ebay message from him, I'm out my money!!! etc, etc, etc. I keep telling him your not out money, send him the link to open a dispute guy can't figure out how to do that. Finally I tell him just open a dispute directly with paypal. Sure enough the guy does a cc dispute so now instead of paypal covering the $316 loss I get to cover it.

Basically the same thing..
