Wow! Those are some fantastic sales, you should do a video.
11/15/2017 at 3:14 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 334: The Holidays Are Just Another Day #25682I just sold a pair of Pan Am travel bags to a prop company today as well. Wonder if we’ll ever see them on TV?

I’ve heard a few other eBay sellers say their local PO were closed on Friday instead of Saturday. I wonder if there is some leeway given to each PO as to when they observe a holiday?
I found that out yesterday but still got anxious when I realized it was almost noon today and hadn’t packed anything then remembered.
It’s the only thing each day that I absolutely have to do.11/11/2017 at 12:52 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 333: The Illusion of Keeping Up With Everything #25442If your patient the auctions are best for buying stuff.
I’ve considered Auctions many times for selling items who’s value I can’t get a handle on but ultimately I’ll just price it atrociously high, wait a few weeks if it doesn’t sell then put a best offer on it.
A 7 day auction is just too short a time frame for two or more bidders to find it and this is a see it buy it now world.11/10/2017 at 7:51 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 333: The Illusion of Keeping Up With Everything #25412I have a tall jar on my dresser for pocket change and lately I’ve noticed the lid won’t go on…time to let the bank sort them and spend frivolously.
11/10/2017 at 3:19 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Schott jacket, Pin Up vignettes, Steering Wheel, TV VCR Combo, Walkman, Ham Radio #25405Yes, the right models will sell very well, always look for promo models from dealerships.
I’d always heard there were serious Walkman collectors and that one seemed like it was kinda rare, belt replacement on those is pretty easy.11/10/2017 at 3:12 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Schott jacket, Pin Up vignettes, Steering Wheel, TV VCR Combo, Walkman, Ham Radio #25403Yeah, they love the snow. It all melted the next day. You can always head up to Snoqualmie anytime you want snow. I’ve driven down that one a few times in a big rig, white knuckles on the steering wheel.
That’s a cool clock, I hope I can find one, I’ll keep it.
11/10/2017 at 2:59 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 333: The Illusion of Keeping Up With Everything #25399Nice, I like all Starburst style clocks.
I’ve not heard of that brand.
I checked out FB and there is a following.
What I could find on value was
A parts bike $300
Good runner $850
I imagine they might go as high as $1200-1500
How old is it and when was it last ridden?
Remember that with internal combustion engines the gaskets dry up when not in use and carburetors get gummed up with old gas.
With only 42 miles, it’s been sitting so there will be some work required.11/06/2017 at 3:05 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 333: The Illusion of Keeping Up With Everything #25159I used to buy and sell vintage wrist watches in the eighties.
Unless it’s a unique Curvex it’s hard to believe a Gruen would be something to replicate. They were common and there were quite few of those made, best prices are for solid gold ones and espcially the aforementioned Curvex.
I believe the movement will be stamped Gruen.11/06/2017 at 2:56 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 333: The Illusion of Keeping Up With Everything #25158I remember that too, but that was a farm auction. After hearing about your date nights at the auction house I searched out and found one that’s only a half hour drive, so much nicer.
The auctioneers even know what I like now and always look my way for a bid.11/06/2017 at 9:17 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 333: The Illusion of Keeping Up With Everything #25084Oct 29 – Nov 4 2017 $1279

They also now have a flatbed wagon to put extra stuff from the lots you won but don’t want and it’s free pickin’s for everyone else. I kept my eye on it and came away with an old wooden ironing board, an industrial sized soldering iron among a few other items and I left two boxes of extra junk that came in the lot with my clock.I liked it but I clicked back the first time as it just popped up when I came to this page like it was an advertisement video that annoyingly shows up when your trying to read something.
