    I love auctions!!



    Though you didn't want to mess with them, I do wonder if you could have sold them as is for more than scrap.

    Probably could have but I like to test the stuff I sell and that could have been a PITA not to mention moving those things around is a bit of a chore so I will just be happy piecing out the other stuff.

    That makes sense. I sold a gas food warmer a few months ago. Had no idea if it worked. Tossed it on CL with a starting price of $300, stating I didn't know if it worked or not.

    A guy came down out of Washington, looked it all over and gave asking price, got it home and said it worked great. Wasn't bad for $27 bucks at a local auction. Again, I love auctions!

    Nice score there and yea I love auctions as well. Always different and plenty of good deals to be had, not to mention it keeps the competitive juices flowing.
