The clan (my brothers) in the UK are going across the pond in Fall/early winter. They will be prepared for 'shopping'.

They are laying down the ground work for what they want. Been networking for years with this in mind.

Since they are all ex-Armed Services, their network is large.

Good times ahead.

Good point - the past ones I mentioned had viewing only in the AM but I will look for others with better viewing times

Re: This is why I buy estates and houses full of items
 

Made it to a couple of estate auctions this summer/fall and there were some great bargains to be had there. I was very cautious in my bidding and didn't buy much, but the items I did buy made about 10x profit on eb.

I was also shocked at how much antique furniture went for, items I thought about bidding $5 on for went for $125. There were clearly experienced antique buyers there, but not many eb sellers.

One thing was clear to me, I need a smartphone at the minimum to research prices on the fly. My slider text phone wasn't cutting it, I had to text someone to lookup prices for me.

Re: This is why I buy estates and houses full of items
 

I have started to get into the estate buying and have done a few. However, I seem to have trouble finding the right advertising venue. Other than handing out business cards everywhere you go, where do you advertise? I've tried the local paper classifieds and they don't seem to bring in much. Thanks!
