Yes I charge 20 bucks per person . Owners price there item not me or staff. We put a description on two part tag and record item number.that's how we know who gets paid .No we do not mark sellers stuff up Really do the math 100 people times twenty is... that's 2000 bucks, a good day in my book!!! Better than minimum wage

Sounds like a good idea to me. Sellers price their own items, Like putting a reserve on the item at an Auction but no sales commission, and the buyer buys what he wants at the posted price, but no 20% buyers fee.!! Wish I was there! I'm sure I could save that $20 entry fee back on one sign, and I saw several that if priced right would be going home with me. Just my 2cents on the matter. Ed.

I like the concept,except it kinda sounds like the seller is hiding.
What if a seller prices a fake sign as real.
Buyer pays stated price,takes it home & discovers it wasn't as advertised,and wants refund.
Does the buyer have any retaliation or is he out of luck?
Who does the buyer contact?..you essco or the seller?
..and how does he find who the seller is?

Not a auction .but most auctions cary a invisible reserve .you don't got to hang around for hours to bid on item. Here you see the price, we do feild written offers to owners but it takes time for them to get back to me. And it might sell before they call me back.

OK, I get it. [You] are the guy running this sale? Seems like you would post an actual name and contact phone number on your registration? Again, I have been burned by deals that sound too good. So, I am now very careful. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Please note essco is not me, she is a consigner........ there are no fakes in this sale...and it's a shame a member cast a shadow ,,tread..the caterpillar and ford are the real deal but she no longer wants to sell them,but there here for anyone to inspect..

Trying to answer questions.. my number is on the flyer.567 208 2603 if your a consigner you have all my info. I'm not accepting any more stuff for this sale though.

Next year's garage sale will have website etc advertising other than flyers etc . Ps early items will be listed with prices

In regards to cold pizzas comments ,,No major auction house sells with warrantys .... or tells who really owns items remember all Moores signs,I was under the impression they all was out of his collection...opps they wasn't though fyi

I just noticed that someone named EJ Simon has joined and is acting like they are in charge of this sale? "Collector to Col" Is that person you? I can not get my head around the above statement that essco is not you but you posted and answered as if it was? Very confusing to a group who have had our share of fly by night sellers. I would think long and hard before consigning as I feel nothing has been answered to my liking? Paul www.severngaspumps.com

I'm using her phone. My cell fell in someones trunk while helping load. There bringing it back tomarow morning. Just trying to clear up questions about my sale. Tomarow is last day 9 to 2pm . I keep checking my voice mail.returning calls as I check it.

Sorry my fist day ... this is EJ we had 951 tagged items a little less now ,but still a good selection of signs . Hope to see more people in the morning. Thanks good night .been a really long day.

I'm with you Paul....I don't get it....must be my age.

You say you do not have your phone but you are checking voice mail??

Why are you now comparing it to an auction,when earlier you stated it's not?
