July hasn’t been particularly interesting for sales. I’ll speak to a few things.
My brother-in-law buys the contents of storage lockers at times. He doesn’t do auctions or anything. He has a contact that calls him on occasion. He gave me a compact exercise bike. I had a few concerns about selling it. I would need to go through it to check for contents, and I wasn’t sure the box was in good enough condition for shipping. I figured I would only get about $100 for it, so I decided to sell it in parts instead. So far, I’m just over $100, and I’ve only sold a few items.
The 250 meg Zip drive is available from Amazon for £297. This actually supplied by Amazon, so must be some kind of Bezosian tax fiddle. 😉
I worked with a graphic designer who bought one when they first came out. Problem was, the clients stuck with the 100 megs, so they couldn’t read the discs she sent out.
Though the month was slow as molasses, I did actually sell some things in July:
This 1967 Queen Elizabeth II half penny charm is dark and ugly but sold for $19 plus shipping after about a year listed. Out of a junk drawer lot long since paid for. It has been a while since I’ve been able to successfully snipe any good JD lots. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275606305283
This reproduction Vietnam War party suit 100-mission patch for Swan Lake Hotel in Thailand sold for $19 plus shipping to a Vietnam vet who said he had stayed there many nights while at Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base. US forces used the base to attack the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos and for other missions as part of the US “Secret War” against the Viet Cong outside the boundaries of Vietnam. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275707709535
