Busy (kind of) week. Sale on Wednesday was only one unit. I looked the guy up. He was a contractor who was REVOKED by the license board. I thought what the heck maybe some tools. Only one other guy showed up to bid. The manager opened the locker and it was mostly crap. I ended up taking it for free. So far I have make $50.00 and see a potential for $150.00 more. Not bad for a clean out. The best part is that the manager put me on her abandoned list. This facility is always full and she is always in a hurry to get unit cleaned out.
Today I went to a sale. One unit at one facility and one at another. Five bidders showed up. The manager was shocked as she normally only has one bidder. First unit had a cheep rolling tool box and a bunch of crap. Went for $300.00. Second facility the unit had two antique dressers with beveled mirrors, three small side tables, three upholstered chairs, a love seat, a set of vintage wood tv trays, three trash bags and three nice packing boxes. The unit looked like no one had been in it in years. I purchased it for $350.00. The trash bags are full of linens. The boxes contained a complete set of modern dishes, a set of community silver plate silver wear, a full set of new pots and pans, a collector spoon collection, several tools and some vintage glass wear. Not a bad day. Should see a profit of 700 to 900 on all of these pieces. Not a bad day.
