15 bins for $200 total!
« on: April 14, 2011, 02:26:25 PM »
Went to a "PODS" type auction last Saturday. They had about 19 crates to sell.
The 1st 4 had household items in them & went for way too much $$.
The last 15 crates were sold as a set. They were full of Herman Miller cubicles, desks, & chairs.
I threw out a $100 bid. someone else came back with $150. I went to $200 & got it!
This is literally a tractor trailer load of office furniture. The kind folks at the auction site, were good enough to give me 1 week to get it gone.
I got really excited when we inventoried what we had, & estimated the retail value to be about $250k! Only problem, was that noboby wanted it!
I found a reputable used office furniture dealer to give me $500 for everything.
It won't exactly put my kids through college, but we made a quick $300 profit & never lifted a finger!

I have NO problem with the physical side of it. I was just happy to make a few bucks with nothing but a phone call.
Would have loved to had some more time to move the stuff, but just wasn't an option.
Got another sale to attend on Wednesday! ;D Can't wait!
