#49 Dont take anything that Dick says too seriously...

#50
Don't buy anything from this guy.

To be a Good Picker, you have to be in Charge as a Commandant would & make Good Dissensions, Not a Soldier that does as he is told [private get up there & stop a Bullet].

Not as 5+ Billion Followers [in Any language] that Read & Can't follow Their "1-10 Commandments". IF You really believe it's better there, why isn't there a Line waiting to get in?

just checked in... good stuff here and actually some decent advise for new flippers entering the scene... seems my commandment got deleted. whoops...

DB forgot one of his own commandments that he stated along time ago on here:
#51 If you find an ace, whether it be a rare pump, globe or sign, don't run out and tell all of your buddies about it until its removed from the farm and sitting at your house. People are very good listeners.

Keep picking pickers! Bring the old good stuff out so we can see or buy it! Thanks pickers for all you do!

#52... "Be careful the stuff pickers may bring you to sell is not hot".... This happened to a collector here in my town..But he returned the stuff to the owner..Because it made the news and the theft was on video. PS: NO it wasn't me. lol

53 don't ever walk up to where I am selling and say that there is no meat left on the bone, at that point it's a no sale at any price.

The Pickers are really in some of your heads. Comical.

#54..Stop trying to get more attention for your item by putting scantly clad women in your photos.Having your item held up next to a girls large breasts isn't helping you sell anything other than how stupid you both look.Your item should stand on it's own and not need mammary glands to sell.You may be a 19 year old challenged boy,but we're not.

#55..Don't try to justify your asking price by referencing you recently saw an item similar to the one you are offering for sale,as having sold for as much or even more on ebay or a cable channel show.That's not a credible source of reference and only makes you look even more ridiculous.

#56..Don't boast & brag that you're a picker or flipper.That's not something to boast & brag about,especially right when you're offering something for sale to someone.

Don't offer $3 for a can marked $5, Can Just might get Stomped to $3 offer!

Dunno Dick, I have to disagree. If you'd said, "Don't offer $1 for a can marked $5" I would could see the stomping by someone who's got tons of money like you.

I've been offered far less for far more, and just tell guys "It's a fair price, seems you can't afford it, you'll have to look elsewhere." I'm not sitting on thousands of cans to waste my inventory on skin flints.

#57 Always present the offer that if you can purchase the item , that you will offer it back to them first if you ever want or need to sell the item , and keep your word in doing so . Lots of items that normally would continue to rot down on a farm or fence row can be saved this way . But...... stand behind what you say and hold to it like you should.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING TONIGHT?

That's no good as a Picker. When you sell you TRY to make a Profit & the Farmer ain't gonna go for it [He'd rather Scrap it than pay extra for something that started out as His!].
