After all, how many places will you find "just the one you've been looking for" unless you GO to that spot

Never have understood the collecting of shot glasses of spots you've never been......but see your point.


Had a box of them I set on the curb. They sat there for days. Think it was bums that finally started taking them......

Hello to both of you!


I hope to see you guys on the board often!.....cause if your typing away here then your not at the auction bidding against me!   

Trying to help a friend list a superman record player at the right price.
It just like this one I found, maybe a touch better condition. It works.
Got an idea from google'n and eBay, etsy.....but not sure.
She is listing at $160
She's in serious need of money so wants to pull all she can while still low enough for a quick sell.....

What'cha think?   good price?

And while we're here. If it doesn't sell, anyone know anyone in the Seattle area that collects superman stuff?

Years ago. But not much help to you. Olny went a few times. Mostly clothes (bet you wouldn't have guessed that, huh!?  lol) and that's not or me.

Back then it was a pallet all shrink wrapped. Pallet sold for something like .75cents a pound. You'd mark it. If more than one person marked it it went to auction. But only between those who's number was on it.
And bids were price per pound. So you constantly had to remember he math. Cause if someone jumped up a dollar....that could equate to a few hundred dollars.  Most pallets were 5-10 bags. 100-200lbs. (wieght was marked on bid form so you knew)

I heard they sell to an outside vendor now. Contracted to take it all at set price.

Luggage was big back then. So many lost bags. Today airlines are much better.

Not sure what contents would be now... if the TSA rules would help or hurt.


Would really like o her how it goes and the process.

What did you scrap?

Here it sucks.
Local place's current price is 2 cents/pound. Another, farther away, is 4 cent.
There is one that will jus TAKE it and one tha will actually charge you. Tho they will send out a dumpster for you to fill on our own free of charge.

Figure 80 even at 400lbs/ea @ .04/lb is $1280.

My lazy ass would unhook them and call a scrapper to haul from each unit.
Figure gas alone will take a good chunk of money. Then time and the labour to move....?

Make some scrapper do all the lifting!

Went out this Saturday to a one day Flea market in a parking lot. Wanted to go check it out. Think we will fit in nicely and have good sells.  It was Flea market style but almost Farmers Market style.

This is how it is around here. Maybe a dozen farmers market/flee markets in a 20 mile radius on weekends.
Think they have gotten together so some are Saturday, some Sunday for he flee market. Farmers are thru out the week in various locations. Only two of the markets that include the flee are year around.

There are a few people wih garge sale type booths but most have a niche or an artist.
Booths will have just clothes or vintage stuff or records/music stuff.


I like this cause I can sell to them. Know right where to go. Tho, as talked about elsewhere, they pay next to nothing. They need to make a little too.

Back to point, I like this style better cause it seems most people aren't looking for deals. They are locals just getting out and when they see something price doesn't matter AS much. Plus just the atmosphere they are inclined to buy just for the whole experience.
