Marjean28. It is a very skinny cast iron HEAVY piece. Here is the link to the sold listing for additional info: https://www.ebay.com/itm/162892825875
I agree it is a great story. The funny part was that this item was not part of the yard sale, it was in the yard away from the main area and even funnier is that the seller made some comment like, “finally, got some money out of you.”

Had some great sales in the last two weeks, I felt very validated for good picking (like Jay said in the previous podcast — so true!)
Joe, I was not sure if you are still watching this thread but in case you are, I have sold several books lately and a lot of vintage books as well, it’s been going well with them.

I walk by cloths in thrift stores all the time, they scare the heck out of me. I personally don’t give a hoot about labels for my own cloths so it is a whole new language and universe to me. But your examples inspire me to give a closer look next time I go.

Most of the junk drawer lots are jewelry so that might be a hotter ticket.
I would be amazing if this worked but so far other than Keith from Boston, we are batting zero.
Thanks Tiger289, good feedback.
Totally agree, I would not list in bulk what I can sell individually, unless I was trying to make a “quick buck” and I had A LOT of inventory to get rid of.

This is a very interesting topic, I think. Great input from everyone.
I am working 7 days a week so I am not sure if I fall into the lazy category but I do have a bunch of stuff that is not worth listing at $1-5.00 — that was the idea I got from what Keith from Boston was saying.
I have taken a bunch of stuff to the thrift store in the last few weeks just to ease up the load so I can focus on the more profitable items. But if it’s true, and I can put it all in one lot, that would be interesting to me. The time it would take to list each one is not worth it but all together for a lower price, sure! Why not?
Up to now I thought it should be all similar items in a “lot” but maybe that’s not true. I guess the only thing to do is try….

By the way, store policies are a total mystery to me. Is there a podcast or youtube video that might provide some help in understanding that subject?
I just listened to the latest podcast and that fellow called in again. Keith from Boston.
He said, if I got it right: he fills up a large flat rate priority box, when it is full he dumps the contents and take pix, lists with the weight of the package and “Junk Drawer Box Lot Estate Find” and then fills in with content items in the room the is left (buttons, pins, stickers, etc.)
He did not say if he auctions or just prices it…
It would be great to see a link to one of his sold items.But I am going to give it a try anyway and see what happens… who knows, might be a great way to get rid of our misc items.
03/12/2018 at 10:45 am in reply to: Do you save on fees with multiple stores? Or better to stick with one? #34865Jay just curious, what kind of experiments might damage your main store? And how would it cause damage? Or have you already had this conversation before?
Roping Reseller, that is amazing! Do you know how to figure that out? I did see a lot of jewelry lots.
It would be great to know if anyone has actually done it in addition to the fellow that called. From what I saw it was a lot of auctions and mostly similar items. My items are worth about $2-5 individually and I could just donate them but it would be great to be able to sell them.
