Yeah, this one I got for $1150, and I beat the next two highest bidders by 20 bucks!

OK, I know you can't handle all that good stuff yourself, so here's the deal:

I'll give you $1100 for half of it and YOU get to decide which half I get !  

The dynamic duo in West LA....Tuesday, April 26, 2011

Supposed to be 5 lkrs...down now to 1....and it's trash ! (some reality)

Next:

They go back to some pod-type lkrs they bought a week before.

They paid $775...probably make $3k profit if things go as usual.

*******
No lights on the old receiver...to bad !
A big blue box...what will it be...yes...a priceless treasure ! (should bring $1K at least).
(they then announced their thoughts on the item and I was right on the money (in THEIR world).

Now for some vintage shoes.....how many K can they get on these ?

******
Now the man-tools container.
$50 for an old, small shop vac? Must be gold-plated !

Lkr has a Harley item !  (why can't I get those?)
Ton finds an "OMG!" item (something short of gold bars I'm sure).
Commercial !

*******

More later in this post.

*****
Shoe expert comes in....could we import him from LA when we find a pair
One pair of 1993 Nike's....$400.  Allen wants to get $4K for 23 pair of shoes....he gets.....??
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.  
******

Big blue box comes into another expert...remember they predicted $1k....they got....a big surprise...
the expert didn't want to pay anything like that. They go to plan B and get $1300 for the blue box.

*****
Now to yet another expert to talk Harley parts. I predict they will get $2500..stay tuned after the commerical.

*****
OK, we're back....good news and bad news.....not all Harley is worth gold...some of it is worth platinum, especially if you're Allen and Ton !  

I'll let you watch the rerun to see how they make out on the Harley stuff.

Once again the boys score bigger than big-time. I guess the rest of us just don't go to the same kind of auctions.

****
My prediction of $3K profit was way off....they made over $8K...next week they get a shoeless Joe Jackson card !

Not a gripe, so technically hijacking thread, but here goes...

I was to meet a fellow at 6:30 this eve...this was from a 5 pm phone call...that's how I have them contact me...I feel it's more sincere than an email through CL.

Anyway, 6 pm comes and phone rings...it's the guy saying he can't make it. Disappointing, BUT courteous is a close 2nd to actually selling the item.

Sorry for the hijack...just wanted to say they're not all bad.

My wife loves to keep the household cleaners and anything else that she can use with out going to the store to purchase.

And there's lots of stuff like that, and of course "man" things like motor oil, tools, guns, vehicles, just about anything you can imagine. If you stick around long enough you'll see something you want for yourself.

I have neighbors who can't belief the variety of goods I get, but when you think about it, they are households just like ours, richer or poorer with lots of stuff we can use. I can't imagine the money I've saved on such thing...laundry soap, dishwashing detergent, the list goes on and on.

So my question is, do I need a sales permit to rent parking lot or sidewalk space in San Antonio, TX and resale my stuff there. I have over $1,000 worth of stuff in my inventory right now. As well as my on hand cash is starting to run low.

My guess is that unless one of the 1,800 people who don't post in the threads suddenly comes to life from San Antonio, you won't get an answer here.

Isn't your best bet to contact some authority in SA ?  If nothing else, I would guess the admins at the local flea market(s) could steer you in the right direction.

Sounds like you're putting money together from several sources and many others are doing the same thing right now. My compliments on pursuing many avenues. Selling goods is a good way to make money and if you can pick up some reasonable lkrs you should do OK as many people are buying used goods these days to help stretch their consumer dollars.

I have one The Hart Beat, and it is only because over 95% of the facilities here only advertise with them. Some seemed really irritated with my phone calls. However I think all that will change and I will dump The Hart Beat because of the Amendment of Chapter 59.

Wow, they've got it sewed up at 95%.

Here's the link for people close to San Antonio.

Any creative ideas or buying strategies for auctions now that the business has changed?

I just don't buy as many !
