RE: Flea Market/Auction Business - 228

in #money7 years ago

Amazing story. I wonder what the auction total came out to. I definitely do not want to turn into a hoarder! lol I am selling some of my stuff.
$90,000 for a bookcase? OMG

This one kind of looks like a China cabinet my grandma had.

Sort:  

That one is attractive - this one was tall and narrow, about 10 feet tall so you needed a special place.
The stuff went through two big auctions, and then the smalls and box lots were still being mixed in to the regular auctions for at least six months. The guy probably got around $350,000 after the sellers fees.
