nope everything runs to high around here , last one i saw was a 1990 ish 626 with no title that went for 600 ish and it was beat looking to boot

craigslist has been decent for me this winter ive gotten rid of stuff weekly , ive gotten rid of 3 record collections ,6 pairs of speakers and a bunch of video games stuff

Thanks for that link Fred !  Your example and the greater than 3 month window on Worthpoint makes sense for those kind of items.

Should I ever get deeper in items of that type of item I think you're right that WP might in fact be "worth" it.

your quite welcome by the way this is the type of knowledge im picking up on that thrifting with the boys page i recomended

they have a facebook group called thrifting with the boys movieman , and i would recomend you join (free) ive picked up a ton of knowledge

i used to do a lot of craigslist free adds

the dump runs i made id try and balance large stuff couches and mattresses and stuff with small heavy things like books and records to make their half ton minimum , but then ive was doing this out of a short boxed van a bigger vehicle and i wouldnt need to worry about such things

If interest in storage auctions is slowing, why would we be looking for other ways to make money? Wouldn't it be time to get back into it since there will be fewer people in attendance?

it really depends Travis
ill wind up back at the auctions and will be a buyer again, but it will be because i miss going through peoples stuff more than i want the money and the work involved
with the various forms of picking im doing i run across less trash , have more free time and am not forced to sell things i dont want to be bothered with
I havent been clipped in the head with a bedframe that some asshat left on top of the mattresses against the wall.I havent wound up with couches with rat pee on them or opening boxes to find loads of mousecrap. I havent made a dump run in 2 years. And im generall more cheerful and making close to the same money I was with the auctions while putting in a bit more time but a lot less effort
next step from the picking for me is looking for things i can list once and sell over and over again instead of having to list everything individually on ebay and craigslist

I think all of the facilities in long island got together and decided all the best rooms about 2 years ago ...

Public Storage - I've seen them go in order and I've had the manager say we are going straight to the best room so everyone has enough money to bid (facility run auction)

Extra Space - goes in order - (auctioneer)

Mom and Pops - Usually goes to the best one first, although they usually plant items, stage/create rooms ..etc. so their best is actually usually the first (facility run)

I havent been out in a while but most of the stuff ive seen here is they start at the bottom floor and move up or at the top floor and move down , ive mostly been to stuff in nassau and queens

ive met people in parking lots at 3am and ive had people show up before work to my house at 6 am
