General Storage Auction Talk / Re: Suggestion for best place to sell these products?

« on: March 26, 2011, 05:12:03 PM »

Thanks for all of your responses. I'll have to think on it. Perhaps I'll try a garage sale first, and see what happens. I have a bunch of other stuff to sell, as well, so nothing to lose, other than a few hours of a Saturday. Hmm, sitting in the shade operating a garage sale versus several hours spent in back-breaking labor with a chainsaw in my ongoing battle of trying to clear several acres of mesquite brush and mesquite trees.

Doesn't sound too bad. But I like the lot idea so I need to review the titles again. Most of the DVDs are movies released in the last decade and were popular but I should sort through them again. Same with Cds, I think. Thanks all!

General Storage Auction Talk / Suggestion for best place to sell these products?

Hi Y'all,

I'm debating a yard sale, lot sale on Craigslist, or a flea market stall for a week-end for this stuff I have and would like to know what you all would recommend.

I have five bins of DVDs, approximately 80 dvds per bin, so around 400 dvds total. Split is 70/30 for well-known titles vs. obscure. Most cases are in great shape, some are unopened, and a very few are a bit chewed up (literally, I think a dog got to them), but I can remove them. Complete mix of action/adventure, drama, comedy, not too much scifi.

I also have about 6-7 smaller boxes of cds, maybe 200 cds total. Split is probably 75/25 split pop vs obscure. Cases in good shape. Primarily pop and country, plus celine dion, and the like.

So, if I have a yard sale, I was thinking $3/$5 per dvd depending on known/obscure; $2/$4 cd. If I did a lot sale on craigslist, I haven't figured out pricing yet.

So, what would you do?

Thanks!

Hi Y'all,

Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I'm new to TX, having moved here from Los Angeles last year. New to storage auctions too. My interest in auctions has to do with both my extremely varied hobbies (of which I have too many) and my interest in side businesses, of which I've had many over the years, all interesting and usually fun.

In any case, I know I'll be posting cuz I certainly have questions, but just wanted to be polite and say howdy!

Becca
