Average?  $30-$40


Last month was bad.   Mostly picking and spent $120.   Brutal.    Sales didnt come close to covering expenses.
Why I try to find other things to do in the area.   Like I wanted to go to Cabela's thats way north so waited until the auctions were in that area *then* went.   If I have friends/family in the area I'll meet for lunch. 

Offset the gas expense.

Worst case scenario, I could always gut it and use it to move my storage units...it's a lot cheaper than a box truck!

Funny, when you first posted this I thought about saying the same.   Why sell?   You can keep enough intact to vacation in (little weekend getaway) and gut out back end to haul auction goods...

That's a nice buy!   I disagree with bwb111.  I think $2000 is totally do-able. (By the one picture its hard to say but just going by ur description and what others sell for)
List for $2600-ish and negotiate?

Will agree it may sit a few weeks.   Times are tough.  But RV people are a different breed and hunting season is right around the corner......


Is it musty smelling?    That's a problem around here.   I just picked up a new ozone machine.  It's only $100 and seems to work well. Not like my last one that broke but I don't have $1200 to replace it.   Anyone that's going to flip cars vehicles should have one IMO.   I'll send you a link of where to buy if interested.

@bwb111 -  so where do you suggest buying supplies to fix RV's?   

Same as you.

Estate Sales are up to 10-15/week within a 30min drive but he volume of people re up too.
Average 50-75 on list waiting for doors to open.   Thus, prices are up.  Supply & Demand.

Hasn't been much in the "smalls" market.  Either price is to high, items get snatched up or its things that the market is flooded with. 

Same with my other picking sources.

It's all typical for this time of year.   Bring on the rain, crowds dwindle, price drop, I'm back in business.

I'm heading down south.   With luck I'll be able to pick some items not so common around here.....

 

I have the options but it won't let me post pictures from ipad gallery due to size restrictions.

Refresh my memory.   Was this one of those stalls in like an antique store?

No.   I looked into it once and its to spendy.

As shown below, Consignor’s minimum commission is $10.00 per auction listing (if it doesnt sell, ou till owe $10)
When an item sells, Consignor shall deduct commission’s % from that portion of sale. If the item sells for $40.00, the 1st $29.99 commission % is 45%, and the remaining $10.01 is at 40%. The current commission schedule is as follows:
$ 0.00 - Unsold
Minimum Commission is $10.00

$ 00.01 - $ 29.99
Commission is 45%

$ 30.00 - $ 49.99
Commission is 40%

$ 50.00 - $ 74.99
Commission is 35%

$ 75.00 - $ 199.99
Commission is 30%

$ 200.00 - $ 499.99
Commission is 25%

$ 500.00 - $ 5,000.00
Commission is 20%

Relisting Fee:
$2.00 Per Auction Per Listing

Considering I mostly "pick", I mostly do "smalls"....
An item that sells for $29.99 has close to a 14% ebay/paypal fee.  And that's without shipping. Add just $5 shipping and your pushing 16%.

Now I'm down to about $25.  They take 45%; now Im at $13.75.   Minus the cost of item....?
