Gratz Rockin - glad someone had a good day

I was bummed as when I called Thursday morning to get my normal spot at the flea they were already sold out.  I was like ah crap and it was going to be a very nice day just before a cold front.  Is what I get for not gambling and buying a spot 2 weeks ago when it was cold.

Been told December is a great month for new stuff, also for bikes and the like.  Jan and Feb are bad months, with March starting to pick up again.  Also have heard March is a great time to move furniture as everyone gets their refund checks back and go shopping.

Know the feeling craiglst. we keep putting off that paying for space and going too. Like having a job LOL Schedule and all. JK   Sorry you missed out. We are debating on selling over the new years weekend. 

What you have been told about the sell months are pretty good but now a days with the internet people start getting their refund checks in Jan. Real heavy in Feb. and trickles in in March.
If they have had only one job they can use their last pay check stub to file. Pay $9.99 and have their refund in two weeks. (Son and his wife) Oh crap telling my age. 

Oh and the furniture we have put in the thrift is flying out the door. Sold two sofa's in past two weeks. Went picked up another on Friday. She was out.

Sounds great. We spent the day still hunting. (yard sale and estate).

My fretting day was Thurs. Have to get this inventory to the thrift , have to get things sorted, have to have too have too... My husband said STOP!!!!.. LOL It stopped when we went to drop inventory off and picked up $124 from sales. 

Glad you had a whirlwind sale.

Well Movieman don't blame you for not pushing the odds. 

Sounds like the same kinda prices around here. Anything with a lot boxes and totes goes for a lot. I am glad we have an outlet that is paying off in the furniture department or we would be sitting idle too.

Went yard selling yesterday and spent $80. Delivered to thrift and came home with more money than we left with. Diversify.

Only a few Auctions next week like one or two with few lockers. Not sure we will make them or not. Still a lot of work on the last one to get finished.

Are there any states with laws that say the owners lock has to be cut at auction?

From Fl. and have only seen two facility cut the locks in front of you. Went to one and he had pictures of the units in his office. That one was new to me. Think more to cover his butt. This is what was there and I auctioned it. One of our auction company's also takes a picture of the unit.

Not a law on cutting locks. Just laws on when they can take the property. This is a cash business so some sticky stuff will occur.

Thanks for this thread. 
Just got a LV bag and a couple of Coach bags in last locker. Pretty sure they are knock off's. Found one LV bag coming apart the seam was glued. (here is your sign). The other does have a serial # the inside is nice but the strap does not feel right. This women's intuition is off, would never spend hundreds on a handbag. LOL

The site I use that is like CL  the site tells people not to support those who buy at storage auctions in there classified ads and to always ask where the item was bought.

Do they say why?

Better yet why do they charge you tax every month to rent a locker ?

Because it is a rental. Here in Fl. If you rent an apartment for 6 months you pay sales tax. Don't remember why. But if you rent for 7 months you don't pay sales tax.

Falls on the service end I guess.  Don't get me started on the tourist tax.

Had to run back and get another truck and trailer full.  Not many boxes of stuff.  We went through what we had all the gold had been pawned. 

This lady had four kids. We have lots of clothes will start that process tomorrow, and Friday, and Saturday.
About 30 large bags full.

So far the few clothing we have found is name brand. Some nice kids shoes too.
Don't have a lot of totes thinking about running to the liquor store to get boxes to help separate. Or just invest in some clear totes for all the clothing.

With $220 of furniture at the thrift we have a high bar table with 2 chairs, need to fix one of the chairs. A dresser we will spray some paint on to spruce up. Two low TV stands. So think if all that sells we should be in the green. 

All the pots and pans are scrap---She used the H*ll out of them. A lot of plates think we have a box of china, did not get to that.  A few nick knacks (dollar store stuff) Will fill up the tables.

I will say this is the cleanest locker we have gotten. 
It had not been there long had food (can goods, spices, and dry goods) in there thank goodness the rats did not find it. Industrial neighbourhood.

Might get some looks with the two Black Angles we have.. (craiglstauction let you know how it goes) LOL

Oh there were to front page news papers she saved. One was (Name of boyfriend) wanted for attempted murder. Glad we live in the sticks.
The other was man goes on shooting spree kills his father then himself and injured five people. Not sure who he was, brother, or one of the kids father?

We did have a lady approach us when we were loading the truck day of auction I was worried it was the owner, but it wasn't. She wanted to buy a bed. Then she asked if she could look in the unit. She was an older lady. She looked and said someone's whole life in there. I said yes ma'am. She said God bless them, as she walked away.

When we get into the clothes will update. Oh and we have a lot of purses. One says Louis Vuitton will go read the post about that I have no clue not into that stuff..Pretty sure it is a knock off.
