E-bay, Gumtree, Garage Sale, Cashies or Flea Market????

[wristwatcher]

I bought my Winchester lever action 22 magnum that I had to part with reluctantly in 1996, when I sold my farm, from a Hells Angel I knew, privately.
He assured me it was "one of the registered ones", and that proved to be correct. And he sent a mate around to set the telescopic sights accurately for me.

We had a Winchester lever action. Think we may have purchased it from a different party though.

On the telescopic sights. I had 3 of them and they went real quick at the asking price.

Pretty sure I have deveLoped a system with gumtree that appears to work.

I left a one hour gap Friday after work when I knew I had to be home and had 3 people come including a special man of Asian origins who spoke limited engrish. I had left one of my sheds open and it is full of tools. He said "Preeze Mishta I look at Tool". I told him I was already in a relationship but he could have a quick look. I have also set up a 3 hour window Sunday where I have 3-4 people coming for small shit and have sold the fridge and washing machine. I told him I would prep the shed for Sundays sale and he said " I bring all friends". To his credit he grabbed a couple of spanners a mallet and a Fu@& knows and said $10.

I think the time window on gumtree with leaving sale items out may be the way to go. I got the shits with waiting for individuals and had a couple that didnt turn up. I guess between 12 and 3 Sunday I will find out just how effective it is but made $80 in the hour Friday and am hoping to get $300-$400 Sunday albeit that $250 of it is in 2 items.

Thanks to everyone who offered me advice on this thread or bought stuff (even if they haven't picked it up yet FC )

Final result $365 in 2 hours. More than I have ever made from any pain in the ass 8 hour garage sale. The only no show was someone coming for a $10 dining table. Going to set up another 2-3 hour block with 10-15 items in 2 Sundays time and have a 4 sale table of goods already priced, it seems to work. Blokes salivate over tools

Got engaged last night and already got "should we put that away for the wedding" but I'm old fashioned and believe father of the bride should pay for everything

Definitely a couple of quiet Shandis on the cards next weekend

Congrats on the engagement mate!

Congrats on the engagement mate!

Thankyou. If it doesn't work out she will be one of the sale items in a couple of weeks

I've heard stories of men putting their wives up for sale on Ebay, win/win

In hindsight I maybe should not have posted with this my other add on aSaturday night. I found my Dads porno collection which takes a walk through the bush from the70s, 80s and 90s.

It's really frustrating when you get these bloody half wits who don't measure if their purchase will fit in their car.

I may be banned for this post

Had a dog kennel advertised for $40 and it is worth much much more in excellent condition for your big dogs. Some clown rang and said they will pay $25 CASH. Deliver it to Unley and they will give me a hand unloading it. My life maturity allowed me to politely decline the reasonably insulting offer

Friend had a garage sale on the weekend. I told them to tape their cd's and dvd's they had for sale. They didn't listen to me and a few CD's and DVD's got pinched. I warned them to do it. I have mine planned in a few week end time already offloading a lot of stuff

My sister came and took a trailer load of stuff from my Dads estate and drive it back to Mt Gambier for a garage sale or two. She had learnt the hard way, I'm sticking with my multiple item Gumtree time blocks. Next one set for tomorrow night is...
Drill bits $35
Dog kennel $40
Gun part $20
Total $95

I've had probably 5 garage sales in my life. Only 2 of them have netted more than a hundred.
