Since we stayed home Bob was able to fix a tiller we had picked up at a yard sale. Needed new gas lines. Sold yesterday off of CL.  :D for $75. So that goes into the yard sale total.  ;).


Craiglstauction how the Flea go?


Off to Jury Duty  today ::)

NICE !!!  ;D

Only money we would have made is off the tools. Husband would have kept the wheels.  ::)

(steel guy) and always using grinding wheels to cut stuff up.

Good luck Craig.

After pulling everything out and did some sorting got two large boxes going to the goodwill. Think my hoarder side had kicked in and trying to squeeze every penny out of stuff.   ::). did sell a big bag of plastic lids and a few containers for $1.00  LOL

On man crap you can squeeze every penny,  sold some drywall tape that we were going to throw away for $2.00.
Did sell some clothes but have learned less is more. Going to go through again, and only keep the cream of the crop, In original sort missed small wholes and stains, notice when someone shopping  ::)

Have a small plastic clothes hamper rack and hang clothes on it sell more off of it. So your clothes rack should help a lot.

On the less is more if you have 10 hats (have 15 straw hats) if you put them all out want sell a one, if you put 2 out will sell them. Applies to a lot of things.  The hats look like Hoss from bonanza really tall. someone at the flea said I should buy those and paint them yellow and call them husband finder hats, put a flag on them like the car finders. LOL

Anyway good luck today. On the extra space we usually decide when we get there too.

Well not too bad another $76 dollars. No rain  ;D about what we make at the flea, but we spent no money ;D

Did get things sorted a little better. Got to those things that we have been putting off. Dump run, Scrap pile picked up ect.

So for being in the sticks not to bad, Maybe next month can go back in front of the thrifts nice busy corner.

StorMe we can have two yard sales a month, and more unless someone complains. But we live so far out and two miles down a lime-rock road try to avoid them here. So not to shabby on the out come.

In front of the thrift we do between $300 to $400. The thrift got in trouble with code for stuff in the parking lot so have not been able to go there, but she has gotten a special use permit so maybe the first of next month can go there and do well.  This situation forced us to find other avenues of selling (Flea Markets) So we have learned a lot and have a good one to attend and know what product to take. So all good.

Come to the Atlanta area and get a real Self-Storage Auction education. We eat thin-skinned people alive while they are gasping for air and spit out their bones leaving them with nothing but the tail between their legs when they go home too their spouse – LOL!

Just kidding of coarse -  ;) ;) ;)



Glendon Cameron is that you?  If not could be his twin.

Sounds like you are full of hot air blaming everything on Rockin and Don. Sure they may have made a mistake or two who doesn't (hindsight is 20/20). But from her description of events they were scammed.


Rockin still up set about this. We have been fortunate and have not run into this, but we do go together and I stand in the wings while Bob (husband ) looks. Over here some good stuff.

If you and Don ever visit Fl look us up we will buy you guys a drink.

Decided to stay home from the swap today.....hubby told me he would help at the swap tomorrow if we stayed home and attacked the weeds today. Yuck!!

I had a neighbor stop by last evening...she bought 2 of those tablecloths! ;D

Bev


Would have gone and let him pull the weeds LOL

What's it Worth?? / Re: Portophone - MFG Thomas Manufacturing Co
« on: March 10, 2012, 06:47:03 AM »
On the record player does it work? Or does the broken piece prevent that?

If working maybe $50 to $100 (in our market). If not maybe $50 to a collector.

but on the other hand have not seen anything that small (portable). See the large phonographs and they have really dropped in price from $500 to $250. Just to give you an idea.

Check the antique malls, they may know more or someone who collects them.

Hope that helps. But reading over may add to the confusion. Sorry.  ;)

Let us know what you find out.
Have no knowledge of the signs.
Good Luck

Movieman making me laugh


"Can I make a living at this? I need to clear at least $45,000 a year to pay for all my own stuff.

They should sell.

During our yard sale set up, opened up some totes kinda forgot about. Have so many sheets don't know what do with.  :D

I put them aside to wash what need to be washed to try and match up sets~~~~~that worked out well  ::) three lockers worth of sheets. (one locker with way too many) Think I have one full set, and a mess. LOL

Good Luck

and out of the pill of sheets think I have 2 tablecloths.  Oh had some plastic ones still in the package sold out in one day.  ;D

296
Sounds like a wonderful idea.


Where do you find the auction list / time and dates ?
