mickmck 716 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I work for a magazine about lasers, some of them are used in the oil industry which helps fill my car on the drive to work. I just want to work with dogs, even if I am just cleaning up shit and getting attacked by alsatians training in pp...but also interested in buying/selling random stuff to get a bit of extra money recently. Seem to just be buying stuff and keeping it atm though find yourself an auction buy up the joblot boxes -- car boot em on a sunday .. i car boot all my shit on carboots every 6 weeks good earner .. There is an auction not too far from me, sell a lot of reclaimed and police stuff I am keen to have a look at. Boot sales for definite, but also pretty interested in buying the storage units companies get stuck with, when people stop paying or die or whatever. Bit of a gamble but I suppose it depends on if you can get it cheap or they are auctioned off. do storage units auction off units ? i cant find any that do not heard of any over here its big in the u s -- . There is a tv series based in the US, but a UK version is coming out soon so I have pretty much just assumed they do. To be honest I haven't looked around yet to find out, but they must empty them somehow? There are loads of private self stroage companies that might be open to it and the larger ones might not see the benefit in paying staff to route through them all for valuables. But hopefully not too many will cotton on if it does go on so they still go cheap. as far as i know they just auction every thing off at the local sale room Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GRAM71 29 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) gram I take it so your a fulltime apprenticeship served painter,a brother of the brush then.lol, of course i'm not chap, i already mentioned i'm a carpenter by trade, but i can do more than just carpentry, and have done for over 20yrs now.let me rephrase what i said earlier, In my experience, the last time i worked for a firm of decorators (subbies) 99% of them were just plain shite, i can do a much better job than these 99%, something i'm not ashamed to put my name to.
