Hi,
I've been listing items on Bonanza.com, so far I've sold 3 items since 6-16-2011.  It might not seem like much, but I don't have too many items listed yet.  It reminds me of Ebay years ago!  Here's their fees:  FOV (Final Offer Value) under $500 is 3.5% of FOV.  FOV greater than $500 is $17.50 + 1.5% of the amount over $500.  $0.50 cent minimum fee.  There are no listing fees or buyers premiums.

Hope this helps!  Healthe

I went to 2 different auctions today.  The first one this morning had 3 units.  33 people were in attendance.  They went for $25 (mattress & table), $60 (large couch & loveseat with no cushions) and $200 (bedroom set, dressers & boxes).

The second auction this afternoon had 3 units also.  With 16 people in attendance.  They went for $25 (2 large cabinet TVs with a motorcycle motor?), $175 (couch, loveseat (burn hole), cheap looking dressers, boxes) and $550 (washer, dryer, loveseat, table and U-Haul boxes).  My limit was $300 on the last unit.  So, I came home with nothing today.  But, that's okay.  I'm still trying to clean out our garage from the last units that I bought. 

Not that many people today.  These auctions were in a local paper and not listed on-line.  I really think that makes a difference.  Healthe

Hi Drew,
Looks like we are getting spammed by a shoes salesman today by the name of yrgg0655.  Thought you might like to know!  Healthe

Looks like the spam is back in the topic called South now.  There's 190 of them!  Do they really think that we are going to buy from them?  Healthe

Hi,
I sell some of my items at a local auction place.  They have an on-line auction like Ebay.  Once it's sold, I take it to them to give to the customers.  They take 25% from the income of sales.  I normally take my stuff that I would sell at my garage sale to them or my larger items.  The more expensive items, I sell on Ebay.   Healthe 

Hi,
This summer in our area there was a free flea market in town.  A couple of local stores wanted us to sell by them to bring in some business.  I took all my odd/ends and clothes and made a few dollars.  It's just getting started and he wanted to do it again next year.  I think next year will be better.  Healthe 

Hi Everyone,
I've been doing the storage auctions part-time for about a year and a half now.  So far I've bought 8 units.  Each were very different.  One was filled with all new clothing and household items.  Today, I'm selling all the Christmas stuff from that unit.

Thanks for putting together this site!  Hopefully, we can all learn from each other.

Chat again soon!  Healthe
