Get Prepper Supplies from Auctions…Make
some cash!
OVER the years I’ve made a fair amount of money buying and selling at
auction and have managed to feed the ‘collector’ in me and have also purchased
prepper items I need including propane & oil lanterns, guns and ammo, coins
and silver and even MREs and dehydrated food stocks.
The auction I am attending this
morning is also featuring used vehicles, farm equipment and hunting items!
I buy online and at local
auctions. I don’t use eBay much anymore
due to dismal sales and hoards of stupid rules.
When I still lived in AZ we had an auction and liquidation company and
rented space at an antique mall. We also
offered direct sales and appraisals (used mostly by insurance firms, the
Phoenix police, bankruptcy court and the IRS).
I still conduct two auctions each
year, selling off storage units which have been abandoned (yes, just like the
Storage Wars television program). It’s
something I enjoy and can still make a few bucks without a lot of effort or
overhead.
Recently, I bought a case of
industrial sized rolls of toilet paper, the kind you see in public
restrooms. I paid $2 for it and it will
likely last the two of us at least a year if and when the SHTF! (pun intended).
{How many of you have given any
thought to what you will use for this necessity? When I visited some ancient Roman barracks we
found the garrison bathrooms still usable.
Our guide told us Roman soldiers used sponges attached to sticks to
clean themselves. Pity the slave charged
with cleaning those]!
Have you ever thought about using
auctions to buy and sell? If you hook up
with a local auctioneer and sell excess items in this fashion, you can make
earn some cash and you don’t have to ship the items or worry about some buyer
extorting you on eBay’s feedback and guaranteed refund system!
Just like anything else, you should
attend a few auctions before getting involved on a regular buy/sell
routine. This will allow you to get the
hang of how they work and a chance to meet the auctioneer and staff. We’ve known a local auctioneer for several
years and we use his services nearly every month to earn some extra cash and in
some months, I spend more than I make (beware of auction fever…the competitive
streak when you and another buyer want the same item and you wind up over
bidding/paying for the item).
Auctions are a good way to pick up
things you need at bargain prices and most of the time you do not need to pay sales
taxes either (every state is different and you might consider getting a resale
permit in your state as well –there is no charge for this-).
