With the 30% and the 10% buyers premium we are in the wrong business.

I have seen some of the vets migrate over to getting their auctioneer licenses and start an auction house. Although there is one, which I wont mention names, screws everyone over. People that sell to him, people that do I guess would be a consignment with him to enter their items into his auction, he has screwed his customers that come out to his auctions, and he has even screwed his partners.

Low balls the hell out of people. My example is he came over to see my stuff, picked out these items:
Mascot Travelers Trunk: Restored value would be $400, which it needed to be restored. I was asking $50. (Later on I got my $50 for it)

A Vintage tin cookie can from asia, asking $5

And a solid Brass Trashcan that was from the 50s, worth was about $40, was asking for $15.

So my asking price for it all would be $70, which I know he could of profit a good amount on the $70 alone, but he wanted all of it for less than $40. Also heard from another vet that he had swindled 2 antique tables from 2 old women, probable in their 80s. He offered them $25 to take both of them. The combination of these tables was in the value of $900, give or take. Not to mention he screwed one of the Vets as a partner, screwed him big time out of $5,000.

This guy has become someone I tend to avoid. At all cost.

Ya, anytime you have stuff your moving and your forced to drive your truck with tailgate down, or is tall, use a rope or straps. Bad break on the table, but at least it still sold to the same guy.

I usually dont hold stuff for anyone, only reason I did it this way, is because they were willing to come and get it now, or when we were talking about it over phone anyway. I wasnt going to be available till Saturday because of other obligations. So since it is me that is holding back, and not them, I decided to say sure I will hold it for you. Even if they dont, I have a long list of emails to weed through. So all is good.

I've sold lkrs "full" of stuff to other flea market sellers. This is not my main storage unit and it usually has happened within a week of my "auxillary" lkr rent coming due. The lkr I am selling still has good stuff left, but it may have been out to the flea a time or two. I also put a couple of better items in with the other stuff as "incentive" to the new buyer.  Has worked a few times and is a good way to clear space, bring in some income and move on.

If this is the one you had the phone in, then you are already in good shape having sold the phone.

Yup same inventory locker, this is the left over stuff from all 10 lockers, that has just been hell to move. Started grouping certain things together to see if would sell that way, still no luck, so I said the hell with it, sell it all in one bulk wholesale price, figure it would move then. Have had several emails about it, one made an appointment with me begging me to please not sell it before she comes. Which is Saturday, my day of choice.

Considering on how much you spent on the unit, and the price of your goods, I say you did really really well.

Wish I could find one like that here, I may have, just waiting for them to do the next auction, apparently this place does not have a large attraction, and units go cheap.

And yes, they took the junk and trash as well.  And i got a tax recipt.

Bad a** I am definitely going to be talking to them then. How did you get a chance to work out that deal, you never told us that part of it.

That is what I think I would get for it here in San Antonio, again this is judging by the picture alone, the details would drop or increase what I think I would get. And I think I would get $150, possibly $200.

Welcome to the forum.  I look forward to hearing how you did with your first locker.

I second that
