Money - what cloths are you selling?  I'd be interested in learning how you are doing it.  I've posted a few cloths but gotten zip.  I have some name brand stuff that is getting sold for $.50 - $1 at the flea just to move it.

alloro - everyone gets the 50 free listings.  Stores get additional free listins some months...like this month from 7-13 the get free listing days.  If I did more then 50 listings then a store would be an option.  Since this is a hobby I don't think it's worth it for me.  Half.com gave me a fit the other week as a book I had put up on there months ago all of a sudden sold.  I had forgotten all about the inventory over there as I'm use to ebay ending after X days.  I had to scramble to find the book and was really afraid I had donated it.

I'm with you MovieMan on ebay and I've been with them since 97 I think it was.  I use to use them and Yahoo auctions for selling stuff.  At the time yahoo was doing better then ebay if that tells you how long ago it was.

I hate the feedback system at times, how they randomly pull off stuff for violations (had it happen to me), and the account limit stuff at times.  Had to stop selling my software I had for a week due to account limits.  Had sold over 20 software items but only 4 feedbacks from buyers.  Needed 10 feedback to raise the limit.  I was like seriously - I've had 20 sells and no negative or returned items and I couldn't get a limit increase.  I've had ebay pull one of my half.com CD listings saying the music was a PROMO cd.  No where did it say that on the disk, sku, or anything.  Listed as how half.com pointed me to.   Go figure.

So who all are hitting up the flea this weekend?  I'm going to try something new and hit the twice a year yard sale/flea market at our local army fort.  I will either make a good amount of money or be flat broke.  Fee was $45 for a drive-up spot.  They have 320 spots for sale and I think they are sold out.  I'll be doing some picking I'm sure while I'm there.

Ya I know - it is dangerous to the health of my computer.  Just can't help myself.  Is either coke or tea...no coffee for me.

Had to change it up a smudge

Laugh - that is one of those 1 million candle lights.  I found one in a unit and joked to my buddies I was going to use it come winter when it started to get dark.  Sucker didn't work but I'd of found it a hoot.  My little spot light works very well but I could see just standing back behind the crowd with this HUGE search light 

I myself hate "buy it by the piece" auctions as it takes so long if there is a large crowd, and I don't have the time during the week for them.  However, if you stick it out you can pick up some good deals as people get tired and head home.  With those you don't have to pay to haul the trash, etc.  So bidding a little more is fine IMO.  I still would prefer unit auctions, or hitting the yard sales on Saturday now when I'm not at the flea selling.

Auction Friday for me if work doesn't schedule any meetings in that slot.  Already have a 10-11 w/ the auction starting at 11.  Luckly it's just around the corner from work.  Saturday is the huge yard sale/flea market at the local fort.  Monday finds me at my 3 facility auction that I have had decent luck with.

There have been post on here where XYZ bought a unit filled with boxes and stuff and made a killing.  Normally it's someone new to the forums.

Oldtimers or newbies - everyone has their own view of how to buy a unit.  There is no specific "right way".  If your method is working for you great, I wish you luck.  With the prices I see in my area that strategy went out the window last year.  The high prices are also why myself and may others have started to hit yard sales and other places to get goods to re-sale.

Nice looking unit there.  The shelves as others said would be hard to sell.  I could do it since already have a bunch of shelving in my sheds but those are very nice.  Everything else would be on CL or going to an equipment auction.

The toner in the back part of the shed if new can be sold on ebay.  If it's been used turn it in to staples, office max, etc.  Each of them have a buy-back policy.  I do this with all the printer's that I get to scrap.  That way I get free or almost free ink for my printer.  There is a limit each month.
