One Man's Trash

I bought two storage lockers this week and found some surprising contents. One was a "Manager's Special" which I wasn't completely certain of the circumstances to earn that title. After looking into it I explain it. Definitely will be the first and last time I do this.

This week I bought 3 abandoned storage lockers. Two of them were packed floor to ceiling with black trash bags. I walk through the process from start to finish.

Another week, another storage locker. Small 5x5 unit that was trashed. I surprisingly undervalued one type of item. This week the trash was indeed treasure.

As an Ebay seller what do you do when your package is lost or significantly delayed? My answer is really quite simple.

Another week another locker. Paid quite a bit for a small locker this week. Was it regrettable...? Maybe

I explain how I track return on investment in my reselling. I use a 30 day rule. Also, an update on the Funk CD Ebay Auction that I relisted after the winning $600 bidder didn't pay.

With postal delays recently there can be a higher risk of significant loss from refunds. Customer service only goes so far. I discuss the Amazon A to Z guarantee that protects both buyer and third party sellers. No new storage locker purchases this week. Plenty of updates...and finally selling some sports cards!

Last weeks auctions closed and there were some surprises both good and bad. I break down the final sale prices for the bulk lots of DVDs, CDs and Hotwheels that were up for auction and the one that didn't go as planned.

A follow up to last week's flat tire incident. The situation ended more favorably than I could have anticipated... and that's not even counting what was found in the 3rd locker I went back for the next morning. Also I review my personal method of how to determine whether I list an item as Buy It Now or as an Auction on Ebay. With 7 auctions ending on Saturday I am excited for the outcomes.

I wasn't set on a topic this week until this happened today... I bought 3 lockers at the same facility today. Prices were cheap and all seemed smooth until a wrench (screw) was thrown into my plans. Lots of valuable lessons. Great day nonetheless! Part 1 of 2. I'll follow up next week on how much it actually cost me.
