I buy a lot of shit ebay/amazon. Never gotten into selling anything though. Do have some connections on getting certain things pretty cheap. Never had time to research it to see if worth a shot or if I'd end up with a room full of premium watches etc... I'd have to unload on the corner if amazon didn't work.

My dad's friend been doing those auctions in Florida for years and did pretty well. He said the same thing and doesn't buy as much these days cause said people watch those shows and go ape shit thinking someone planted a treasure in their locker as well.
I think it would be fun to go but the bidding aspect would probably make my competitive nature trump sanity. $1000 for a chair and some used q-tips, score!
