Havent sold either, while the painting is very nice the ship looks better in a picture. It's not old at all and a few parts on there are plastic.

 Asking 100 for the painting and 20 for boat.

Damn, wish I had the extra $120, I'd buy it, lol, then of course my wife would kill me, lol.

I found a source of inexpensive second-hand bags that I can look at before I buy, but am still confounded as to what to look for. Found some youtube vids on the subject, but I may just go into a couple boutiques and see what they can tell me.

Maybe even bite the bullet on a couple as a "learning" expense.

Thanks for the thoughts, fellas.

That can be an expensive bullet. Buying them, even cheap would be a waste of money if they are not real. Most of the females that buy them, know a fake from the real thing almost immediately. And knock-offs they really do not buy at all.

Honestly it seems like that is a very shady place, IMO I think he either sold them off to his friends or he took the goods home for himself. I would stay away from that one. There is a place to report that kind of activity, but I do not remember where or what it is. Good Luck

not much unless you want to part them out and try your luck on ebay.  

otherwise, nothing - you ll be hoping someone will pick it up off your curb and outta there.  

Correction, in my area, I know several people who buy broken or non-working appliances anywhere between $20 - $50.

However I dont even need to worry about that, I got it fixed, should be able to make at least $150 for it.

Well bad news, it does not retain water, and it does not spin. Oh well, at least I know someone who buys broken washing machines for $50.

I have found Carlton Sheets real estate no money down courses in 3 different lockers!!

The course itself he offers is a good course, teaches you alot of different things. However I really dont think anyone is becoming a millionaire using just his course alone. Especially with the methods he talks about using.

Vehicles at Storage Auctions / Re: motorcycle or cars in lockers
« on: November 15, 2011, 03:44:16 PM »
You know, I never really thought about that, it just being in the locker, even a receipt for the locker says nothing that you really are the new owner. They may advise you to get a bonded title in that circumstance, not 100% sure.

Going to the property manager can be a good and or bad thing.

The Good:
Its a reference saying that yes the locker you purchased had a vehicle in it, and him/her being witness to it, VIN Numbers, license plate, etc.... May even do the majority of the paperwork for you and get a title themselves that they just give to you and you sign and take it to the Title Registration building.

The Bad:
They may say they cant sell the vehicle that way, that they have to do the paperwork and then auction it off separately.

The Treasure Chest / Just got a washing machine, free of charge
« on: November 15, 2011, 08:46:41 AM »
Raining like crazy here, so was not planning on doing much today. However while I was posting here on a different thread, my mother in-law called, said there was a washer machine in my alley that she saw. (she lives pretty damn close). So I go grab it, figuring if anything it will be a quick $50, the going price in my area for non working household appliances. So I am covered in rain and get to the washing machine, hell it looks in real good condition, maybe only a few years old. So after it stops raining I am going to dry it off and see if it is in working condition. I may be able to get $150 - $200 if it is working. :)

Oh I will be as soon as I can. Lost alot of my money due to personal finances that I end up picking up when my wife quit her job, wasnt a move I was ready to take on just yet. That plus a bad locker and slow sales wiped me out. And now everytime I think I am about to get ahead with my personal finances, something comes out of left field and smacks the hell out of me. For instance I just went to court yesterday, and I find out I got to shell out alot more money on top of my usual child support payments or get locked up.

So yes I still have all my motivation, even more so now, lol. But My financial obligations come first. But I have several new avenues I am soon to take. One is I may have found an investor, we will be hammering out the details here soon. Then my mother in-law's boss is buying another house and going to let me move in, it will be 50 dollars less in rent, full of stuff that I can sell, will also be making a little extra fixing up the house, plus first month will be rent free. So giving all that, I am hoping to get out there before Tax season. If I dont make it out there before then, well then I will be waiting till around June or July.

I have not seen a locker hit $1,000 yet.   There have been $700 & $800 lockers but that is as high as they get.  Crowds vary from 10 to 60 bidders.

I have seen only two lockers with the value that it be worth spending a grand on. Sadly I was outbidded on both. Damn hate when I dont bring enough cash. First one was full of collectibles, first day out. Auctioneer opened it up and asked if anyone had any offers, first bid out was 1,000. No one bidded against him on it. Next locker I saw was something like a mechanic shop, I am guessing they used the storage as a makeshift engine over haul shop. Had loads of hand tools, a big compressor (the one that stands liek 6ft tall), two cherry pickers, one engine stand with a engine on it, another engine laying on the ground, and loads of engine parts still boxed up. I dropped out at $1,200. All the money I had on me that day, it sold for $2,600.

I read the article on the new show, sounds like it might be good. I know who TheRednrckPicker is, I follow him on youtube and twitter. Talk to him every once in awhile on Facebook and storagetreasures.
