Tonight's the night and I have to say I beat these guys to the punch this time.....

I remember very well the day I got that 1964 Mustang in a lkr I paid $300 for ! NOT !

Will recap it later...no surprises in one way though....THEY ALWAYS DO WELL !

What's the latest news on this predicament ?

Waiting to hear from "devestated" [sic]...doubt we ever will.

I think the simple answer to each of your questions has been provided in the forum a number of times.

The GENERAL rule is that one would like to double one's money spent. Spend $50 hope to sell $100, etc.
What amount of time that might take is an open question that probably doesn't have one answer.

A lkr I bought two months ago for $350 has generated about $1900 in profit which is terrific, but I still have both small and LARGE items from that lkr; looks like I will have to cut prices on the big stuff to get it to move, or just keep storing it and advertising it at the prices I have now.

Many of the regular sellers here have talked about turning over product quickly to make room for new product. That works, but frankly I don't mind holding on to something for a while to turn a few more bucks on it.

When it comes right down to it, all the research in the world won't give you the answers to any questions faster than just doing it with all the guidance you've gotten to any given point. There are always new lessons to learn.

Edit:

My best year was 2006 when my year end figure was 2.78 (thereabouts) x the money. This year (year to date) I am running at 1.75.

Since I buy typically from $25 to $1,000 or so quite a range is represented, but generally speaking I will spend $350 to $700 on a regular basis and again expect (or hope) to double the money on any given lkr.

Thats retarded not to pick up ANY unit thats a dollar really

Call me retarded then ! 

When I first double-clicked on your picture I thought the grey thing was hanging from the ceiling.   

When I look through pennies, I basically do this:


- 1943 steel cents - worth 2-5 depending on condition

Thanks for the basic info...I'll use it to check out the pennies.

As regards the 1943 steels, is that 2-5 in CENTS or dollars? (I think I know the answer, but let me know will you?)

Prices are alway higher here.

Thanks for the good report....

....and "here" is ....what state?

The 1943 S is worth a few bucks depending on the condition. The nickels aren't really worth anything based on those grades. Unfortunately nickels were only silver during WWII.

Given your "few bucks" comment you can bet I will be looking at all those pennies with a magnifying glass...just one more "job" to take on, but a buck or so each for maybe a few of them, would be worth the time I guess.
