You have to substitute the word for a female dog in the space above where the asterisks appear. That word is automatically deleted when used in a post in this forum.

What?......I typed in "Old Yeller" and the link didn't work......

That's a pretty cool item - I remember my sister had one - as well as the matching LP case (because it had some of the female Super Heroes.)

I'm sure you looked at several sites, and it seems $160 would be a good price - this website estimates the value at $150-$250 with a starting bid of $70 ---->

Good luck - hope your friend sells it for a decent price!!   

So you mean the one-of-a-kind MINT CONDITION rifle they found thrown behind a pile of random crap was a PLANT!!

Dammit, I hate it when they crush my dreams of finding that in my next locker!!   

Hey,

I'm sort of a beginner you could say and have a little inventory but was kind of curious what my items were worth.

(Sorry have 2 post, the first post was put in the wrong section.)

Well....you're STILL in the wrong section... .....try this ----->

BTW, I have to agree with Money....turn and burn baby, turn and burn!    (Unless, of course, it's a 16th century sword, dueling pistols, $50,000 diamond ring, or Quadzilla!!)

Good luck!

Disappointing morning to say the least.  Two auctions at facilities literally right across the street from each other.  One at 9:00am and the next at 10:00am.  Close to home, nice places, friendly management....

Auction #1 - I arrive at 8:35am, sign in as bidder #5, and am told there will be eight units.  I then spend the next 25 minutes watching three tenants pull into the lot, go into the office,  and pay up their units.  So we're down to five.  Good new is only about 10 bidders and 15-16 people total.  Unfortunately, the units were: 1) crap $50  2) crap $60  3) crappier $20   4) crappiest $5 (this unit was a 5x10 LOADED with furniture, but all broken - the crowd scattered like gas-on-ants )   5) junk - not quite crap! $275    Mostly broken furniture, matresses, box fans, tons of clothing....these units were so bad even our local whale only bought one $60 unit.  (He was outbid by another guy for the 5th locker).  Things were so bad even the photo I took of Unit #5 didn't turn out on my phone.....

Auction #2 - About seven or eight of us drive across the street to the other place - it's a nice facility where I've gotten some nice smalls in the past - and we're told "all paid up - nothing to auction."  Figures...

Bottom line:  In my area, it seems both the crowds and the prices have come down - but now the quality of the merchandise has also gone down.  There have been some great lockers, but they are now about 1-in-20 or 1-in-30.  Anyone else noticing this in your areas?  

Good luck out there !!  

Maybe when the auctioneer said "SIXTEEN FIFTY" they thought he meant $16.50
