In consideration of the dwindling interest in this forum, and the immediate rantings of PappaPump, I will try to add some value to this forum and talk about a recent find. Although purhaps not that interesting, it's the best I got right now 

In a recent storage unit I won I have what appears to be most of the main parts to an above ground pool. At first glance it appears I may be missing hardware (nots, screws, bolts, that sort of thing) put have the main components including the instruction manual. When things slow down a bit I am going to do a mock up assembly of all the pieces in the back yard and try to assertain what I am missing and if it is economically feasible to purchase the missing parts and make sure all the parts I have are not damaged. I have no idea what kind of market there is in a used complete above ground pool, or it's component parts, but if it turns out there is not much money in reselling it, and it won't be a big hassle time or money wise I may just keep it and install it in the back yard.

Thats all I got right now, enjoy!

I might be confused, but I thought I read a post here months ago from another forum member (Bandit?) who said Brandy & Jarrod were their neigbors in Boston and got their start in re-selling by flipping computers on Craigslist and fixing up used cars?

You seemed to be referencing why regulars would pass on this unit, and others have already touched on this and I will add my prospective to it.

It's called opportunity cost. I'm not gonna use up space in my trailer for an obviously marginal unit when there are other units yet to be auctioned. I am not going to buy a unit that is not worth the fuel costs to hook up a trailer and come back and get it.

Now if I have already won atleast one unit at that location, and this is the last or next to last unit, and the price is right, sure it might bid on it.

You might be asking "why not just show up to the auctions towing your trailer so you don't have to go back and get it?"

2 reasons: 1. I don't want all the regulars to know what kind of resources I have. 2. I don't want the noobies "birddoging" me. They see me or you pulling a big trailer or driving a box truck, they might just wait and bid on everything I do figuring I know what I'm doing and know which units are good.

Most of us have had those "I bought a unit for $1 and made $43.72!" But once you start doing this for a while, trust me, you will let somebody else have those.

It's forecast to be 104 degrees on Saturday and 103 degrees on Sunday. Think ill skip the flea market this weekend. 

OK, but can you enlighten me on:

1) why you use the iPad to list (instead of your home computer)
2) why you would then later use the home computer to renew or delete

Still trying to figure out the advantage for folks of posting from an iPad or phone.

I have heard people say they like to photo and post merchandise staight from the unit before they move it or just leave it there and sell from the unit to save time. I never really understood this because everything I get needs to be inspected, cleaned, & researched before I post it for sale. There are very few things I find in a unit that are "ready to sell" the way they are found.

All depends on the size of the city/market you live in and how many people with the means and courage to buy a high quality but used refrigerator. Where I live, it would be pushing it to try to get $500 even though it is well worth it, I would probably have to sell for around $300, but if you come from a large metro area you may be able to get your price.

If you are using Ebay then you are already ahead of most people. The truth is used clothes are a "dime a dozen" in this country, pun intended. You can try consignment stores for the better quality clothes and for the rest try bulk lots on Craigslist. When you get to having a warehouse full of clothes you can condense them into shipping bales and sale them to exporters.
