Movieman sounds like you have something that is draining the battery like a light in the glovebox that doesn't go out when closed, underhood light doing the same, just something somewhere not going off when you shut down.  This can be a real pain to find.  Good luck!

I listed the Zippo lighter on ebay after my post Monday night starting at $9.99 and got a bid that night.  3 people have it on their watch list so I hope it will bring more.  There was a lot of Zippo lighters for sale so they may be getting to be hot again.

Just the other day I found a never used Zippo light in a box of this from my parents house.  It has the logo of Liberty National Life Insurance on it my how things have changed.  I am going to see if it is worth anything since it has not sentimental value.

Picker's Paradise / Garage sale score
« on: January 05, 2012, 09:12:52 PM »
Wed. Jan 4 I was riding toward my house when I saw a garage sale sign.  I think you have to be crazy to do that in the middle of the week and temp. is in the 30s :o  So I had to check what they had and see if the prices were crazy too ???  Bought a cute made to look old trunk for $5 sold it today from my booth at Southern Pickers for $24.95 ;D  Bought a vintage childs desk for $5 needs work, but I think it will sell for at least $50 ::)  For $24 I bought a Martha Washington style Maghogany sewing cabinet 8)  It needs a little work, but my research shows they sell online for $95 to $525 :o  This garage sale picking is fun :D

I bought a 3500 Dodge Sprinter to do this with for many of the enclosed adVANtages.  Mine is a Super High Roof so tall items are not a problem.  It has a wheelchair lift that the previous owner had installed.  It is a 2005 model that had 113,256 mi. when I bought it for $13,000.  It drives great and gets over 20 mpg.

Just wanted to update the score so far on this one
Jeff Gordon NASCAR collectables $65
Large 8x10 area rug $50
The 4 wheeler is would require a good bit of work and only be worth $50-$75 running so I sold it as is for $20.
Still researching bowl and half of the items in my booth @ Southern Pickers is from this unit.  With the holidays and work around the house I am very happy with my sales so far :)

The Treasure Chest / Silent auction treasure
« on: December 19, 2011, 06:24:13 AM »
Did my first silent auction today and scored one for $201 ;)  10x15 You could see an old 50cc Suzuki 4 wheeler, 2 small scuba tanks  appliance handtrucks, area rugs, some jackets, concrete flower pots, a large mirror,and a toy chest that looked like an old half size gas pump, PS3 box, and several boxes and totes. 
4 wheeler turns out to be a very old model and pull cord is messed up will work on later ???  PS 3 box was empty as I really thought it would be.  BUT
The boxes contained lots of tea pots copper, glass, ceramic, you name it.  Also have some nice International Table works and Johnson Brothers China, misc collectable plates and items that will go well at my booth in Southern Pickers. There is an old 3 toed green glass bowl with gold gilt that I am still researching that may be worth over $200. ;D
Under the jackets was a Chase Authentics Driver Lane Jeff Gordon Winston Cup Drivers jacket in near mint condition  :o  Thought I was on SW for a minute there! This should bring about $100.  Toy box has some die cast collectable cars sold one to a friend with some other items for $60 ::)  She also gave me some advice about the other NASCAR items.  Mirror was very old may be sold for $125.  The area rugs are almost new and will be on Craigslist today still have to research the price. 
The real treasure was my son was with me and had a great time helping ;D

Well I can be 100% sure it was the orginal lock, but on some they had to get a grinder, find an extention cord, nearest electrial outlet, took quite a while so I believe it was the original lock 8)  The others they just used a large pair of bolt cutters, but there were different size and brands of locks.  This was in Jacksonville FL.
