Happy Easter?

[sakic92710]

Well...……..it won't be if sales are like today - compared to outer space where the temp is absolute zero!  lol   My car is FULL of Fisher Price toys so, I hope they sell somehow, somewhere.  😛   Good luck to us all.    🙂

It is not happy for me either. I have $300.00 items listed for $37.00. I just listed a $200.00 item at auction trying to get a $44.00 bid. I have a $600.00 item trying to get $150.00 obo. And to top it off, a rat just bit me on the hand when I was forging in the dumpster behind 7 eleven. Now my whole hand is swollen up. Even if I had money to go to hospital today I wouldn't because it's like that Steven King TV show Kindom hospital. And I just got a shut off notice from the electric company. And I have ALS and can barley walk today. I had a small sale yesterday which I'm grateful for and my sales have been good this month so iihit a hidden sales limit, some kind of velocity limit.  So happy Easter. Blah! I'm not even going to church Sunday and I am Catholic. I just do not give a dang.

Books are hard to sell. Electronics sell very well on eBay. And also I can barely "give a dang" too about church. I sell at a flea market every Sunday and like last year, I am setting up this Sunday/Easter!

Even in jest I would not mention foraging in a dumpster.  Potential customers might read that and assume you were looking for books.

Hopefully ebay will offer a special bonus bucks Easter promotion to help stimulate sales.

We were caught by the cops once looking in a dumpster for boxes or wrap.  Furniture stores are s gold mine . We were on their property and we told the cops we have permission. 

No rats though. Just cops and they don’t bite.

@joesoucie22012 How are you even putting one foot in front of the other? Your burdens rival Job’s.  (Unless you are pulling our proverbial legs.) A rat bite can be serious trouble and i’d get that attended to right away. Rodents can carry disease, and the swelling up isn’t a good sign. Not to be an alarmist, but i am alarmed for you. So please get some medical attention. Will keep you in my prayers...

At least, go to Urgent Care - now.  This isn't an alarmist talking, it is a former paramedic.  They can't make you go to the hospital, and they can give you antibiotics.  Not to be pessimistic, but you may luck out or just loose an arm or something worse.  Do you feel lucky?

Personally I think you should march right back to that dumpster & find that rat & choke the life out of it & then take it home & on Easter Sunday throw it on the BBQ & make yourself a FINE EASTER FEAST----Ahhhh Rat Ka-Bobs---Thats some fine eating---Enjoy

[jerrythecrazyguy]

I wouldn't mind buying something knowing it came from a dumpster. Just depends on what it is. I would consider a book okay. But that's just me. Now chocolate chip cookies that's not okay.

Shouldn't cops have better things to do then arresting people looking in dumpsters? I thought trash was supposed to be stolen.

I think the concern that has arisen, regarding people going through dumpsters, is that many people throw their trash (with mail, bills, etc.) away and others go into the dumpsters, get the papers, and use/steal their information.

[jerrythecrazyguy]

That's why before you throw away mail/bills, you tear them up into pieces.

[jason_incognito]

personally, my concern is that they dig through it and make a stinkin mess. literally.

Came home on trash day once. The can was empty but had a note from the hauler. All the trash was up and down the curb. All pulled out of bags because someone decided that they could find cans in there.

Not everybody 'has the time' to do that, or can be bothered with such trivial matters. 

It is easier to have the police arrest anybody in their trash.
