During any merger, the purchasing company has to offer the stock holderss of the company purchased a value in stocks. This is what you hear in the news reports when they say the value of the purchase.. For example, AT&T buys Bell South for $1.89 per share. So, if you have the physical stock, you turn it in and get physical stock certificates for the new company at the value agreed upon during the sale. Law stipulates that the purchasing company must offer every stock holder their fair share. If a stock owner lost or misplaced their physical stocks, they can fill in a form and submit it to the new company and receive their shares after a short investigation. Basically, they go back and check the books..

If I had to guess, the people have already cashed in their stock with AT&T through the lost stock claim long ago rendering these stock certificates useless. However, wouldn't hurt to make a phone call to the locker owner.

I'm familiar with ghosting. Which is why I'm worried that this guy will cause problems for me and CList will ghost my whole account. I'm not ghosted because people are still calling/emailing about products.

I've also got wireless internet at my store. Any mobile/wireless service like a 3G/4G (cell phones, CLEAR) assigns a new IP every time your computer hooks into the system. Sometimes it says I'm in Greensboro and Charlotte. Real handy to do some spy work on your own craigslist listings..

I'm thinking of changing my ads up and pulling my store info off of them, changing some of the wording and the link.. He's gotta be searching my items and going down the line "flag flag flag".. He's actually sent me emails saying that "he's got nothing better to do than to flag me".. A sign that he's getting tired of flagging me..

But, I'm worried that too many flags and Craigslist will close my account.

This is the first time I've encountered something like this.. A person has nothing better to do but to flag my listings. Granted, many of my listings are "by owner" because I haven't switched them over to "by dealer" because I've been busy setting up my store/trying to sell my products on different platforms.

This guy goes down and flags ALL my listings.. It's quite annoying.. Any recourse? Suggestions?

Public Storage and UHaul has a space for reusable items. Things like computer towers, couches with all cushions (can be ripped) damaged wood like dressers etc. Management allows us to put items that we wouldn't sell, but someone else can repurpose there.

In NC, no charge to dump in your county. I also have a community trash so I can dump stuff there too.. You'd be surprised at how much I throw away that will get picked up by a neighbor.

Many of the other auction participants either have stores already, sell at a successful yard sale or flea market, or are flakes. The guys that I did the flea market with would be the only ones that may be interested just because of the volume of stuff that they bring in, they don't have space to sell the stuff that they have in storage pods on their property. However, I wouldn't be able to unload enough to help alleviate their storage issues. The stock rotation idea is a great one! I'll have to look into that!

When I was going to every auction possible, I was spending $30-$40 a week. Now that I'm only hitting morning auctions and more local auctions, I've spent $60 in the last month. Still too high, the folks who are real close to me keep paying their bills! I've had to travel out recently about 30 miles away to hit some auctions to restock the store. Wish I had the funds to hire a part timer for afternoons!
