Thanks! I didn't see announcement either! Conspiracy!!! lol

I would agree with the $25/$50 price point. IN THIS CONDITION! Restored could be considerably more.

It looks to me the condition is past restorable.

Good luck with it!

Have you seen what those cats on American Restoration can do?!? I don't think anything reaches to point of un-restorable. However on a cost/profit basis you may be right!

I think as long as you are sure to be careful and keep the accounts separate there is no problem.

Not sure I understand what you are saying here

I apologize, I reread what you had written... i mistook what you were saying as if, you WILL NOT DEAL with out of town numbers. That is where my reply came from. Clearly it was incorrect. I apologize again, I see now what you meant, and a simple where are you calling from question should have no bearing on completing a sale or not.

Hey there, I have a bunch of Xbox 360 games I picked up from a locker, sending you a PM with game list.

I just checked my eBay seller account. Since when is there a fee on shipping costs???  Fee of  $1.62 on $14.77 shipping. Anyone else notice this? Sold the item for $35, which was an additional $3.85.

Someone  please correct me if i'm wrong, but these numbers don't make sense to me... I thought ebay just charged 9% whether it was the final value or shipping. These fees quoted above seem to indicate 11%?? Anyone else experiencing a hike in rate percentage?

went to one of my regular auctions spots and was surprised the turnout wasn't horrendous.  3 Units up for auction all 10X10s:


1st unit: was obviously a local pool hall (one of the 30 that have shut down in the past few years no doubt) Had 2 pool tables showing, a couple of beer signs, Beer sign lights, and some bar stools. Boxes in the back couldn't make out what was in them. People went friggin nuts over this thing went for $7200!?!  i was like this is gonna be a looong day.

2nd unit: Floor to ceiling boxes, garbage bags filled with clothes and a couple of lamps (the kind you get at walmart for $15. I set a cap of $200 on it. Bidding started much more reasonably, ended up going for $325 a bit high by some standards but thats pretty much the norm.

3rd unit: again a ton of boxes, some duffel bags. a beautiful tool box in the back, a dining room set with 6 chairs stacked so you only saw their backs and legs, china cabinet, and 2 sets of luggage. nice Samsonite sets a black set and a red set. Set my cap at $450 Reached $400 in seconds then the bidding slowed down and I won it for $430.

I was pretty happy with this buy... till i got a closer look at that dining room set, beat to hell. The chairs either have ripped seat cushions or NO cushions. the china cabinet has a huge hole in the back. Duffel bags were filled with clothes, and the boxes mostly personal items.  the tool box might be my saving grace. Looks like i'm going to be lucky to break even with this damn thing.

Not the way to start the year... Still waiting for my "Dave Hester hitting a 1000% gainer moment" ...

Back in October I bought this unit for $25 all it had in it were 16 tires (4 complete sets) but they were completely worn...

I tried listing them on craigslist at $100 a set no one bit
Then I tried listing them for $50 a set still no takers
Next set $25 a set got a couple of calls here one asked for $20 a set and would take all 4 i said ok. NO SHOW. ugh.
Finally I said screw it I'll wait till next year and deal with them....
I go get an oil change for my cargo van at my friends garage and happen to mention the total PITA these tires are, he asks to take a look and we go take a look he likes them but won't pay so he offered me 70% off all service for my personal car and cargo van for 1 year! Worked for me, that's like money in the bank. I will most certainly come ahead on this deal now.

So moral is don't give up you never know how you're gonna rid yourself of your inventory!
