I picked up an Armani blak wool overcoat at Value Village for $20.
From what I can tell its 1980's.  Sold for around $1500.
Found a like one selling for $200 and mine is way better condition.

Really doesnt matter.  I'm keeping it.   Been looking for years for an overcoat.
First one that has fit.

I wish i was a size 42-44.  Lots of clothes.   None for us skinny guys......

I was at Costco today and all the resturant gift cards were $79.99 for two $50 gift cards.
Then a guy at the table was promoting and if you bought four you got one free.
Divides down to $32 for each $50 gift card.

It would be a grind but you could make up to $180.  Realistically, with fees, postage....$40? $50?

Small furniture.  High end, vintage, antique End tables and chairs.

Car parts to classic's or dime-a-dozen cars.  Like Honda.....

Tires.    But people won't pay much for them. 

Continued from "Truck Rental Prices" in "The Dump"......


Running around getting free stuff.  Some new, some sitting in storage I've canceled.

Truck (U-Haul Van) ended up being $98.95 (day rate, 100 free miles) + $10 (Ins) + $10 (moving pds since I forgot mine!) + $1 (enviromental fee) + $11.73 ( rental tax) = $131.68 + $40 (gas) = $171.68

Thanks to GPS 'shortest route' I kept it under the 100 free miles.

Then add it $50 to pay help.  $17 buying help lunch.  $20 to have tech remove tires from rims......

Total is $258.68.

For this I have:
Set of swamper tires on rims: $600
Set of stock Ford rims: $40-$60 recycled
Four like new low pro tires: $200
Oak top 5-in-1 game table with torn felt on poker part: $200
Brand new, never used but old telemark ski's: $50?
1960's oak office chair: $100

Total: $1200. But in reality I need to move it FAST so may be less if people haggle, maybe $800

Now imagine this was a locker.  It could easily go for $300-$500 just because of he truck tires.
Add in cost of u-haul to low end of bid and your left with two options. 

1) Only makeing $250
2) having to sit on it to get top dollar.

But don't forget 'buyers premium'.  Sales tax.  Dump fee's.
Now your left with only option #2.


Just a notice to all those wanting to start.   Just because you see $1200 in sellable goods, doesnt make it a good unit to buy.  you have have to look at the potential profit.

Over the years I've learned to add in all cost. Bid price. Gas. My time.  Locks.  Batteries.  Gloves.  Pissed off girlfriends.

Let me tell ya.   Doesn't matter how much profit you make on a unit if the auction is on her birthday.  You've already lost just by going......   

I've never rented van from uhaul but just found out that they have special rates.
$98/day, first 100miles free, $0.29/mile there after.

Week is like $300, 700/miles; month $999, 3000miles.

Going this route since I was given the wrong numbers.   Van is $0.79/mile and 12mpg.  And have another pick-up the next day so mileage will be closer to 200 miles.

Oh, by the way Alias, I adjusted your post count to include the posts made on your old username.

Cool.   I'm a big boy now!

Though don't know how much I can contribute right now.   Just running errands for 2hrs yesterday and I took a 6hr nap!     No auctions or even pick'n for a couple weeks.

Do have a guy selling off contents of his shop.  Got some tires and rim's I need to pick up but hiring some labor to do the lifting......

Thanks!

Hopefully it works.   I have no interest in being shocked again.

They had a hard time figuring out what he problem was cause I never went in while it was happening.
Run on treadmill, fine.   Cholesterol, fine.  Load pressure, fine.   I could stand to gain a few pounds so weight is fine.

I'm no gym type person but I do some cardio and light weights 3-5 times a week.

Wasn't unil I went in *while* it was going on did they pick up the problem on EKG.
Thought I was having a heart attack for sure.   Hurt so bad.  Couldn't breath.

Tried meds first but they sucked and I'm not taking meds for the rest of my life if the problem can just be fixed.   Plus the meds don't stop the problem. Just reduce the likelihood of an attack.....
