RE: You Won't Believe What I Find On The Curbs Of My Neighborhood On Recycling Nights! See 10 FREE Items Worth $1,650 Minimum!
Yea, one auction for the whole pallet. The apparently slow sales is what I was thinking about. BUT there is a lack of reasonably priced kits so the slow sales might be because of that (nobody buying because the one kit on there is crazy priced). I was thinking of listing the kits at $40 plus shipping. At that price point I think they could find a market.
I mean, university start up season is upon us...
Does that seem sound?
It depends on the auction cost. If there are perhaps 20 complete undamaged cases, that's only $800 in revenue at $40 each. After fees, that's roughly $700 after site fees. If shipping is a wash, after your auction win of $100+ (I'm assuming), that's only about $600 profit for a hell of a lot of work (with pickup and storage). It's still green, and maybe there are some gems hidden in there, but unless you know you'll have fun with the experience, it might be a dull experience for me.
Bidding has gotten quite high for the lot now, up to $310 (plus 12% auction fee and 8.4% sales tax). Plus it is a 2 hour drive each way to get them, so I will pass as the price has gotten up there.
