Bartering And Horse Trading (Part Duh)

[govcheetos]

Good to hear from yall. I picked up a 21 inch snapper self propelled hi vac mower for 20 bucks, needs the recoil starter fixed, otherwise in great shape. Probably a 400-600 dollar mower retail. Got a line on a 14 foot Hobie cat with glavanized trailer a guy just wants gone. I'll swap out any good parts on the trailer and flip it on craigslist after I decide on a price, been a few years since I've seen it. Even if its junk the trailer is probably worth 250-350. Made another connection with an apartment maintainence guy. Can get used appliances for free now if I come and get them. I had been paying 75 -100 to my other guy. Gonna put them on craigslist for cheap, up to my ears in old appliances now, thing is they ALL work and look as decent as anything you'd have in your home. Got back ups for me, my family and a bunch for rentals. Any junk ones I'll just fill up with scrap and take to the recycler. The wife and I decorated our Christmas tree and I'll bet 80 percent of the ornaments she picked up at garage/estate sales. We're considering getting a booth at a local antique mall to sell some of the finds. They charge 200-250 per month rent, plus 15 percent of sales. I'd rather not pay that much, but it might make us a little without too much more work. Any other have any experience with that sort of thing? I've also considered getting a small single axle enclosed trailer and using it to set up a booth at the local flea market, lots cheaper, only thing is you have to be there to do it. Hardly ever have enough time.

Hope everyone is safe and healthy for the Christmas season, and like Mick said keep an eye out and your ear to the ground.
