That's awesome.  I'd have a hard time giving it up.   I'm a "everything is for sale at the right price" type but I do like books.

But considering the post after.....guess you needed the money.

$1900 in parking tickets!?    Classic.


Here they dont tow.   You just can't renew your license.

Upon closer inspection she realized all the bills had teh same serial number, counterfits though pretty realistic looking ones.

I found 15 $100 bills while cleaning up the nightclub.  Same thing, really exited, untill I noticed they didn't look "right".   Closer look the serials were the same.

Guess its better i found them on the floor and not my till.....

I turned them over to police but years later thought back.....they only asked a couple questions then left.  No report.  Didnt ask for ID or contact ino. No checking our tills.  Never a followed up.

I'm thinking the cop just pocketed the bills.

I have a bunch of $10 tokens fom Imperial Palace in Vegas.  0.6 Troy ounce of silver.   Collectors item.
I've held on to for 10 years.   They were oung on eBay a fewer ago for $30-$50ea.

Figured since Imperil Palace just closed......good time to sell, people buying memories.

Look at this!  Less than $20/ea!    Think people are just trying for the silver content.....

Some treasure I got.

<not my auction>

I've yet to ship/mail anything this year so haven't even looked at pricing.  But, on another forum people were saying that other sites, like www.stamps.com, are all set up and offering discounts......

As many know, due to circumstances, I try mainly for small units.
Got my facilities that cater to downtown apartment dwellers.  People that live in small places.
And they PAY.  I mean, $75-$100/month for a 2x3 or 2x4x3.....

Pretty easy for people to get behind and not being able to catch up. And they don't pay tht much to store trash.


So....

I'm at a facility today way out in country. 
  Was early and talking to employee. Some Info I gleamed... All three units up were 4x5. They rent 4x5 units for $25/month.  The most over due was 6 months.

Right off the bat I'm thinking who the heck can't come up with $150 to save all thier stuff?  They've had months of notices?  (Assuming they aren't dead or in jail)

Sure enough, they open the first.....trash. Literally trash.   Second, garbage bags of moldy clothes.  Third, old a** tv's and bed frames and more trah bags of (I assume) clothes.


Anyone pay attention to cost of unit rental vs the quality of contents?   

I was 16 or 17.
Friends father was a contractor and used storage facility as warehouse.  He did auctions cause he pretty much knew what was in the lookers from being there so much.   He'd pay us to clean them out....eventually started bidding myself.

Lot easier back then.   Free use of moving van from business.  Free dumpsters from job sites.  Recyclers came to business.  Old barn on property to store.......

In hind sight we threw away a lot of sellable items.  We mainly looked for construction and automotive stuff since that's the people we knew.   And sure we got scammed.  We didnt know what stuff was worth. No Internet back then.    If we made $200 we thought we were rolling in the money!  lol

Yeah....totally depends.

A $200-$300 vacuum that needs a $3 belt.  Fix.
Same vacuum that handles broke.  Move cheap to vacuum shop.
Same vacuum that foot is broken. Toss.

Depends on repair cost, time/labor, sell price of before & after fix.......

I donated and cherry wood dresser once, that I've seen at shops for $1000, because the time, labor and cost of materials were to much to get it to that level.   Let someone else thats into that make a buck.

Do the same cars.   Some I just clean and polish.  Could make more if I repair body and/or paint but I'm not going to spend $1000 and 20hrs of labor to make an extra $500 in profit......

Much more stuff than I wanted to lift !

Ha!  Me too.

Friend was a scout for the Seattle Sonics.  When they remodeled he was able take anything.
Managed to get one free weight station and said f**k this!   As far as I know it was still sitting in my old neighbors barn when they sold the place.
