It's all going to depend on the fee really.  We all debated the merits of this in a long thread a few months back.  Myself - I don't really like the idea too much.  Even if I would be exempt at many places if they do the "bought a unit before" bit.  Too cumbersome and time-consuming for the company to keep track of who is who.  Time will tell.

Hmm - don't want to be a grandparent for another 8-10 years (oldest is only 13).

Glad you are haven fun Movieman.  Colorado is a pretty cool state.  Got to visit parts of it when my sister lived out there in Durango.  Hope you find some nice picking at the flea.  I know a guy did at my table last weekend while I was getting breakfeast (my fault, but still feel he took advantage of my daughter.../sign).

I've noticed not so many newbie post for the most part.  Maybe you are correct that people are actually reading the threads.  Or better yet are no longer interested in storage auctions.  Only time will tell.

Hope you get good at it Alias.  I have a whole bag of phones that need repair / work.  Have them in my "escrap" pile.  Did pull one to see if can sell it for parts.

Spent just under $100 for 320 world coins and 295 world notes.  Have been selling the coins at $.25 or more each.  Notes go for $2 each.  Even with doing some "bundles" with people I should be able to make some nice change.  Coins were $.07 each and notes $.21 to $.25 cost for each.

If have some cash on hand you can always do coin roll searching in dimes/quarters/halves for silver.  Those coins sell easy for spot or little more at the flea.  Pulled a bunch of wheat pennies that I put in my mix to sale.  No bites yet but who knows.

Nice Rockin - that sounds great.  I missed yesterday and today's auctions due to work.  Somehow they are starting to schedule meetings just before, during, or after an auction where I don't have time to attend.  Thursday is PS and the same thing.  So my next auction isn't unitl April 6.  Hope the crowds and prices will be the same here.  Would be nice to get some new inventory in.  Just paid the $45 for a military post spring flea.  It supports the families of troops so I didn't blink at the cost.  Would still love to make some money.

Just re-looked at that unit.  Figure it is good practice.  I suspect everyone is driving the price up on that unit thinking it has lots of antiques.  It does have some age to it.  Plus, it looks like it was professionally wrapped.  You have shrink wrap around some of the furniture.  Plus the company moving boxes.  See an old style highchair in front, that shoe shine kit is old school.  American flag became real popular again after 9-11 so that isn't really a "tell" like they would before.  Golf clubs look old so not much value there.  The toolbox looks to be a harbor freight model.  Don't see "craftsmen" on the front like you normally would.  Or someone didn't put the sticker on.  The roll-up desk is a nice item.  Hopefully gas hasn't leaked onto it from the (I think) gas can on top of it.

I see about $800 - $1000 bid if was me.  Unit still would go for 800 - 1500 here.  The two units that I have seen so far this large and packed went for 1300, and 950.  A pretty large antique furniture unit went for 1500 (buddy got that one).

The patio furniture - 150-200
US flag - 10
Table + 4 chairs - 50
Empty totes w/ lid - $3 each
Golf clubs - ??  (sold 1 set for $50 so far)
Roll-up desk -- start at 200 - 250 and see if get bites
Tool chest - as genie said depends what it is.  -  $50 - $200

I'd love to go over that unit...just not at that price.

Gratz mthewho2.  I don't know where your location is but you best keep it a secret.  In the last few months I hardly even see a unit go for $50 that is EMPTY.  Anything that is even 1/2 packed, and looks to have promise is 200+.

Good luck to ya.

That sounds great man.  I've not tried a yardsale yet.  Mostly keep hitting the flea.  Will have to try it one day.
