Ok, here is the scenerio, I dont have any licenses or permits what so ever, so I cant do Flea Markets yet. My neighborhood is not a good location for traffic on yard sales. CL is slowing down, Ebay I refuse to use anymore as a buyer and as a seller.

So my question is, do I need a sales permit to rent parking lot or sidewalk space in San Antonio, TX and resale my stuff there. I have over $1,000 worth of stuff in my inventory right now. As well as my on hand cash is starting to run low.

Good thing is this weekend I am setting up in a rummage sale.

Wow, they've got it sewed up at 95%.

Here's the link for people close to San Antonio.

Ya unfortunatly, but I do love the ones that post in other places and not use The Hart Beat. Tend to be fewer people there.

It's comical how crazy people get at an auction when there is a safe in locker.  The bidding gets outrageous on the hopes and dreams of riches.  Rationality goes right out the window.

yup, but it is why I value you the unit on what I can see, and depending on what I dont see (like boxes totes and everything else that keeps things under wrap) I will gamble another 5 - 30% more on my original value of the unit, and not exceed that when bidding. Has worked for me so far.

Gold, Silver, & baby furniture.

Least I have paid was $35 mostly arts and crafts stuff, an Atari 400 (not complete), and a vintage stackable washer and dryer.

Most I have paid so far is $480 (if I had the cash on me at the time I would of paid over $1000, but thats another story). That unit there was some furniture, sports memorobilia, and golf clubs. Also the unit I had gotten 5 locks with keys out of (brand new)

I usually have them tested right then and there to make sure it works. However on larger appliances, especially washers and dryers, I give them a receipt and let them know if it does not work they have 30 days to return it to me and I will give them a full refund.

So far no problems doing it this way.

I have limited storage space, which I hope changes soon. So I am inclined to make my money with certain items which I hold firm on price, even some furniture. But for the majority of the rest, especially the the common stuff, I try to get rid of as quickly as possible.

I would check and clear the guns --- then sell them if everything comes back clean, if not, I would give them over to the authorites.

Drugs I would just dump (why risk my investment on this unit)

Cash - shhhhhh
