I finally got my lights hooked up  . First order of business is to make a run to the scrap yard and then I thinking of filling it up and Auctioning off the contents on OnlineStorageAuctions.com. Then back to the sales. Life is good.

Has anyone heard of the FairTax. Its a bill in congress that would get rid of the income tax (and the IRS) and replace it with a 23% sales tax. I went to their website fairtax.org and looked it over, seems reasonable.

Have you heard of it, what do you think?

I was at a Estate auction a few weeks back that had a 2' x 3' tube of cards, I picked through a few and the last year on all of them was in the 70"s. I started the biding at $15 and thought I had them at $40, then auctioneer said oh yea there is a lock box in the bottom. He pulls it out and shakes it around "there could be money, gold, treasures in here", well two fellows who weren't even bidding jumped in and the lot went for $145. Talked to the winner later and he said the was a couple of unsigned baseballs and more cards in the box.....Sucker.

I heard when you get back in the 70"s and before there value go up, but it still has to be the right cards.

I group my up by teams, people will by a stack of their favorite team vs. a batch of mixed cards.

Oh wow that opens up a lot of opportunities.....the gears are churning. I will defiantly give this some serious thought. I sell regularly on Craigslist  from my home and am a strong 2nd amendment supporter so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks

BTW love the spell check

I live in South Carolina and check my zip code regularly. I haven't seen any auctions. I would like to sell a personal unit to thin out my merchandise. Right now my merchandise is in my basement (boy is it ever) .

With that said would this be the action plan?
Rent and fill a unit
Post the auction
If it sells great
If it don't sell, empty the unit?

Any help or advice will greatly appreciated.

My zip is 29611

Guilty.

Hello everyone, I am one of those you were speaking of Travis, I pop on the forum check out the nuggets I am interested in from resent posts and move along. I guess sometime I think my input has no value, but as I am writing this I realize not participating by commenting and asking questions I'm missing out on all the value this forum gives.

I don't do a lot of Storage Auctions because of my day job, most of them around here are during the week. Estate auctions and regular auction houses is where I get most of my merchandise so maybe that could be new topic to add.

Love the Forum and committed to be more active.

Piece by piece auctions are still popular here, one of my best finds was a 48 star cotton flag for $3. I also do good on clothes, DVD's, CD's and video games. Big profit on small dollar items but its still profit right?

Thanks CalGal, There are a lot of good subjects here. I'm having a great time and picking up some good tips and ideas.
