anything going on in your neck of the woods?

[grasswire]

What is the state of picking where you are? Better? Worse?

Do buyers totally shut down from now til spring?

How are things?

Any cool finds?

1. Late summer and fall was a bust for me

My fortunes changed two weeks ago when I picked up someone's personal Marilyn Monroe memorabilia collection very cheap. An older couple was moving and one of their friend GAVE the collection to them to sell.

The weekends since then have been eh! Making a little money.

2. Easy to buy, hard to sell

this time of year.
Started a pick today that will take a week or two. Person has 3 houses, two garages and two barns full. A family of hoarders.

3. man I am jealous

I would LUV that kind of a pick.

Situation here: not so easy to pick.

ebay is running about 35% sales for me.

I sold something yesterday on etsy that has been sitting there for more than three months.

Please let us know what you find in that pick. Some of us can only live vicariously. Ha!

9. Been over twice.

First time I just helped clear pathways in and around stuff and made trips to the dump. Yesterday I only bought 2 things and was given a load of things for my help and the owner thought most of it was little value. I was thinking very different. Some old fishing gear, advertising and some primitives.

I did find some items that may be out of my league. I'll help them market some of those at major auction houses. Other large items, some industrial type stuff can go to local auctions.

I'm starting to think this will take a month or two. Hard, fun work. Come home tired, dirty and very excited.

4. Hi grasswire, Been waiting to hear from all of you!

Since I am no longer in the biz, I am not up to what is going on. By the looks of the posts lately, things are quiet.
I hope all of you have a great fall and winter season. I know things are slow. Friends still in the biz are complaining that there is no traffic.
Where are the people going to, Ikea?
Bad mistake on their part.

Would love to see more posts, things are they are, questions, bellyaches. Whatever.
Wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope it is warmer where you are, 17 degrees here and the heat is blaring. Closed everything off that I can and it is still cold in this old house.
My winter will be spent in fleece and an extra robe. Fuzzy socks and a cold kitty on my lap.

Phooey on this weather. My oil heat provider is happy but he is the only one.

5. Happy holidays to you, PR!

Been waiting to hear from you too! LOL

I saw somewhere else on DU that you are volunteering at a thrift shop. At least you get to sort and price to keep touch with the trade.

Have you sold off most of what your kids don't want?

I wish we could all have a meet-up in your neck of the woods (in warmer weather). I've flown over the cape, but never actually toured the cape.

How old is your house?

Stay well! And warm.
