Got a nice little unit yesterday for 65.00 that had 27 framed pictures, 2 oil on canvas paintings, a bunch of glassware, luggage set, patio chairs and misc. smalls. Took 2 trips in van, 6 total miles, zero clothes, zero trash and didn't even have to sweep. Feeling better than last week. :)

Nice one millertime. Should be able to get your money back with that unit easy and come out ahead.

let us know how fast you get rid of those picture frames. I have had some trouble getting rid of some.

$65.00? You got a winner there. I know where I would try to sell that many pictures. I would find a hotel/ days inn/ motel 6 or any other place being constructed nearby and sell to them. Find the manager of the soon to be hotel/ motel and tell them you got some really nice pictures for the rooms.
Sell them in one huge lot.

Thanks. Been a busy week with a lot of OT at the regular job, haven't had time to do anything with this unit yet. Did some research Sunday and got a few nice finds here. One is a framed/matted Norman Rockwell litho print that is flawless. I found an identicle one with a messed up matt that sold for 35.00 online. Some of the other prints are by well known artists that sold online for 5.00 - 15.00 as well as a print of a watercolor that is signed by the artist that sold online for 20.00 with no frame. The luggage is a 4 piece vintage Trojan hardcase set from the 60's and is in excellant condition with the key to lock them. So it's time to get busy and make some $.
onealx4.......... thanks for the great idea, I'm going to look into that!
