Well so far on my hoarders unit ive found bout 6 or 7 avon items still in box that I might be able to sell to an avon vendor at the flea market for cheap an oil painting in good condition. Have to get that apraised or find out about it. Tuns and tuns of .25, .50. & 1.00 items for a garage sale. 11.90 in dimes. So after all my costs I think I might either break even or lose money.

Out of curiousity how the hell do you get rid of christmas items? I got so many now im about to start throwing them out.

In michigan where im from know of a couple places that just have storage garage sales on the units. The the rest have auctions or just give the contents to there friends or keep for themselves.

Yeah i do flea markets mostly because I have no clue where to start with building my contacts. Any advice on how to or where to begin building contacts? Would sure help in unloading some of the items I cant sell.

Well today I wad the stupid person but at least I can make my money back. But the other auction is a different story. Will get to that in a bit. First my unit. It was a hoarders unit but I figured I would take a chance as an old lady owned it. Figured there would be something of value which I got partially right. I got run up to 90 on my own stupidity. But after going through it I figure I can make my money back with all the smalls plus the new floor sweeper in box and chrisrmas trees new still in boxs along with bunch of smalls still new in box. Might make a small profit I hope.
 Heres how dumb new people are in my area. A 5/10 only a push mower a power washer, wagon, some ceramic tall flower planters and a charcoal grill small one highest bid was 300. I bid 70 on a sealed bid then asked the lady highest bid then I left. Maybe a total of 150 dollars in there the other unit high bid was 4k. It was a double unit with tuns and tuns of tools rebuilt chevy engine with all the goodies quad motor cycle engine hoist and stand nice furniture tins and tuns of electronics and boxs. With everything I saw there was easily 8-10k worth of items. Engine alone was over 1500.

Just got back from an auctipn today. 4units up for bid 3 10/20 1 5/10. Lots of stupid ass newbs. They kept talking about storage bors and such. This auction was run by blair auctions. First unit didnt have much in it just a shelf full of electronics like a stereo system an old range few boxs/totes and some other misc items. Went for over 500 I think it was. Second was no better some clear totes with christmas items misc furniture the cheapo kind tv old and some baby items went for over 400. My favorite was the 5/10. This was full of furniture maybe 100 dollars worth on craigslist is that. Couple boxs. The best thing which im guessing everyone was bidding on was a 9mm clip full of rounds. This lkr went for 675 or 625. Now comes the last lkr and this is how dumb the auctioneer was he started the bidding at 700 for a lkr that had some misc clothes on the wall a broke tool box with a small tool box on top a glider rocker a tote full of misc tools and a broke and nasty lokin range. Started that high for the tool boxs. The unit went for 425. I didnt bid on anything and neither did the vets I was talking to. There was no way any of these newbs made back there money. I told some of the vets that these people in a month will no longer be around if the keep being this dumb. Needless to say it was a waste of my time and gas. Sorry no pics I left my camera and my locks in my truck. Should have pics of the two auctions im going to tomorrow.

@chefj
Where abouts up here you lived at?

theres thus auction comming up on saturday. Its from 12-4 and is a sealed bid auction. Drove by the pkace today and theres a sign announcing the auction. They are pulling most high value items out from the units for people to see. Also found out that its being run by habib his brother muhammad and his cousin dirka dirka. Yes its an arab run facility. These guys,are always shady. Should I even attempt to go to this auction or just let it go by?

Ok first where is that auction at? Second the first unit I wouldnt bid over 150 and thats a long shot as most just looks like trash. Beds if in good condition might go for 25 each that table maybe 15 books 10 but who knows whats in the boxs. The second unit looks like its trash also as things are just thrown in there. The books seems to be a single cam if lucky would get 75 tops for it. Personally I wouldnt go over 120 but then might just break even.  Good luck on them.
