Title: 4 units today ( 2 was totally free)
Post by: Mr Andersen on April 07, 2011, 11:36:30 AM
I got 4 units today for the amount of 57 dollars.

This was a silent auction, and i got one unit for $25.00 and another for $32.00

Well i arrived 10 minutes late, and the first 4 units of a total of 13 had been auction off, well 2 of them did not receive a bid. So they just left them unsold.
When i got there some of my auction pals started joking about me buying the 2 that diden't sell earlier.
The auctioneer took me to the 2 units after the auction and showed them to me, and it was not that bad, but i said, now i understand why no one bid on them. Then he said, i will give them to you for free. OHHH yeahhhhh even a bad unit is worth 0.00 dollars.

One of then had a nice china cabinet, stamped made in the USA, i can easy sell that one for 75.00
The other one is more work, and i don't know what i will find in there later on. LOL it can be a big suprise or one trip to the dump.  Anyway, for 0.00 dollars i am willing to digg thru boxes and stuff to find that one item that will bring me $100.00 or more.

With free lockers you win anyway you look at it, even if it does not bring huge cash.
Any sale from it is pure profit. And whatever i give to goodwill is tax write off. So i see the value in lockers between 0 and 20 dollars. In many cases they are the best.
