Well today this guy came and looked at the craftsman tool box with tools galore. He offered me 100 less than I wanted cause the box has some rough spots on it. Forget that its only listed at 250. He said that hes buying it for some lady that is a hobbiest and she is putting it in her front room so it has to look really good. So I figured I would completely restore the box by sandblasting the whole thing use my body repair kit and get rid of all the dents paint it all black with my air painter clean all the tools making them shiny and.putting new padding in the drawers then raising the price to 400... Should I or should I just leave it as I got it and hope for the best? It would only take time and a few dollars as I only need paint and padding. Any input from anyone would be great as ive already lowered prices for the weekend and flea market is on monday morning where I hope to be selling all my things.

 Good idea acman with the keywords I will try adding more and see if that works.

I know where im from when I repost items they dont get pushed down as not many people post things till I get to the really big cities then they get pushed down two or three pages a day.

Im having a lot of trouble selling on CL. My pops keeps telling me to be patient and in due time tjings will sell in a month or so. I just keep telling him if I dont sell the items fast I cant get another locker and all im doing is losing money. What should I do to get items moving faster. I just lowered,the price on most everything by about 40%-50%. Anything else I can do. I already made my money back on the unit also? Should I lower it more and lose more profit just so I can get money to buy another lkr or what should I do. Any help would be great thanks.

The only two things I dont mind sitting on right now is the craftsman tool box full of tools and the fluke multimeter as I know what I can truely get out of them and im not going to shorthand myself that money which I know I can get at least 250-300 for the toolbox and at least 100 for the fluke meter. But I know what yall mean by selling cheap to make a quick profit to buy the next unit. Im going to do that.

i have been trying my hand at craigslist and cant seem to sell much as in my areas not many people have money. but after my first unit i dont have many items that are low priced most the things i have are 50-200 dollars easily and theres about 15 items or so of that and only a handful of items that are on the cheap end.
 
i guess my question is... is it reasonable to sell my high priced items at flea markets or how should i go about doing that? i was thinking just going to them with a certian price on them but also have a sign that says make offer to try and get rid of these items so i can go to more auctions faster.

any advice on this would be helpful or if someone could let me know a good place to sell these high value items fast would be great also.

well i just got my first unit friday. it was a silent auction which i figured i would bid to low on and not get a unit. well i bid 160 and i won the unit. going through it it had a craftsman toolbox full of tools a fluke multimeter 2 electric kid cars bedroom set nice shape, 2 credit card swipers one manual one electronic parts for a ditch digger brand new car parts still in box with tags a safety harness with the lanyard. all together theres about 1400 dollars worth of items so we will see how fast they sell and what the total profit is. but i am no longer a locker virgin hehe

well thanks for the info guys. i am going to a caravan auction tomorrow but due to price of gas and driving a gas guzzler i am starting in the middle of the caravanc where the most number of units are. i will keep all yalls tips in mind and see what happens. heck if nothing else there are a couple auctions by me on saturday morning i can try my hand at. will let yall know what happens tomorrow at these auctions.
