I wonder how he made out with all the office furniture ? He hasn't been back since Aug. 2 .
  I know from personal experience how office furniture sells here in Mass. with so many companies going OOB , downsizing or moving out of the  state / country .                                                                                      You almost have to offer to pay someone to take it plus offer free delivery .

And another one bites the dust. Add him to the list with "momonamission", "JohnnyGHonda", the  guy in Texas with similar office furniture, and who knows how many others who hardly made the hit-parade at 10 posts on this forum.

The "survival of the fittest" has a perfect testing ground in this business.

Well, let's try this test. As I post this at 6:10 a.m. on Tuesday, 9 13 2011 there were 8160 posts showing as having been posted.  I'll check this at 6 p.m. this evening and at 6 a.m. Wednesday morn to see how many posts get through, but with other posters saying there are other abnormalities in the accounting functions (number of members?) who knows.

One thing's for sure...it's slow...that pouring molassess in winter is the best description yet !

OK, it's 5:10 a.m. Wednesday, 9 14 2011 and looks like things are about back to normal.
Signing in, going to most recent posts, going to a specific thread like this one all took only 2 seconds or so instead of 2 to 3 minutes (and sometimes not getting there).

Between 6 a.m. yesterday and 5:10 a.m. today there have  been 15 posts, with 4 of those coming this morning between 4 and 5 a.m. Pacific time from tclane and me.

We're back ! 

Drew,

I don't know if is worth mentioning, but there are generally more than 4 new posts in one day.

In the roughly 15 hours between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. today (9 13 2011) there were somewhere around 8 posts.
Forgot to look at the number before I got to this point, and didn't want to risk losing what progress I made just getting to this point!

At any rate, whether its 7 or 10, not many posts. People just plain giving up I would guess. Good to hear some hired help is on the way as it's been about a full week now.

Drew,

I don't know if is worth mentioning, but there are generally more than 4 new posts in one day. 

When I read through the new posts today, I noticed something that has occurred two or three times before. It seemed to be right as the forum started to show the looong load times. The only posts showing as "Today" were in the first four topics. there were no additional listings in any of the other sections. This seems very strange since the most active is the Storage Auction Stories and General Auction talk.

Hope this helps...

Working on it guys! Thanks for your patience. Keep me updated with any problems you may have.

6:30 a.m. Pacific time on 9/8/2011 and got this message just before actually being able to post.

30-40 bucks for the Mahogany Chest?  Seriosly, Movieman?  Put that sucker on a scale and PM me shipping and handling.  Hell, if you're selling it and that big empty footlocker you found for that price, put BOTH on the scale and tell me shipping and handling.
   I love those things.  Both are old, and I realize that I'll be over paying, but those two items are just the 'got a chance, want them' items you stumble upon once in a blue moon.
   

Don't tempt me to take you up on THAT offer, but please give me an idea of what you would charge for these at a flea or on Craigslist. They are both nice, but I just don't know if the market is there for them in my area at more than the $30 to $40 I indicated. I would guess the mahogony would have sold for $125 or so (maybe more) at somewhere like Pier One or World Imports; I'll check there for something similar.

Want some more? You get them anyway !



Picture above and two below are of Gateway sound system to be plugged into a computer. That's a lot of sound.
This dates to 2006 and I found one on Craigslist with asking price of $100; I'd be happy to get that. Woofer weighs a ton.







Pic above shows a Harbor Freight cheapie camera/monitor system. Sells new for $60.

OK, end of these pics. Feel free to jump in with some pricing ideas on furn. Thanks!

Nice locker.  It's just giving and giving and giving.  

Yep, and I thought it had stopped giving, but......

Posting these pics on Wednesday the 7th of September, 2011....the 2nd day of server problems. Hope these pics don't thrown the server off the cliff !

I finally reached the back wall of the "safe lkr" and these pics show some of the doings there. Mostly big stuff, but a few boxes of goodies as well. There are about 20 pics, so I will put 5 or so in each of the next four posts.

If you have any ideas on what some of the big stuff should sell for, please chime in; I don't deal in furniture pieces very much so I welcome any price input.

Overall view above shows the big TV stand (glass and metal); below on the left are "cherrywood" entertainment center
and oak entertainment center with mahogony trunk and old sideboard cabinet on top.





Pic above shows the downward view of a trunk in right rear corner of unit; at this point looks interesting.



The "cherrywood" above is one piece I could use some help on for pricing. I think this is the kind of piece you would get at WalMart, but I didn't see anything like it the other day when I stopped in. The "rack" below the green piece of plastic tape are two wine racks that slide out. Gotta love that Sutter Home !  



The mahogony chest above opens upward on the top showing about a 4" deep, lined storage space. The two doors open outward. Nothing special was in it; thinking maybe $40 or $30 for this ?
