I called the computer shop I was scheduled to pick up from today around noon. They said they were there and ready for me. I told them 3pm. I showed up at 2:55 and saw a sign on the door that said "Closed due to family emergency. Sorry."
I was a little upset they didn't call me to say don't come, but I know in a situation that's drastic enough to close the doors of your shop that it was serious. I called them while standing in the parking lot and said:
"Hey xxxxx this is Spencer from CTS Solutions. I hope everything is okay with you and your family. I will call you on Monday to schedule a new pickup time for those towers and whatnot. Again, hope all is well. Give me a call anytime at xxx-xxx-xxxx"
Im working 3rd shift at my real job and they don't open until 10am. So we'll see what happens with it. I get out at 7am and I'm dead tired..staying up until 10am will be a challenge but considering there is ewaste/money involved I'm sure I can power through
Anyways..that was kind of a bust but at least they got a call at 3pm when I was supposed to see them saying I'm here and will be back when the time is right for all of us.
Sorta worked out in a way though. As stated in my first posts...I bought a storage unit (wtf was I thinking?!?!). And it's going to be my ewaste dungeon/jail cell. You saw some pictures of what it looked like full...heres what some of it looks like in a little Dakota 12 hours before a flea market.
And heres some stuff in my GF's car
I went ahead and posted some stuff on Craigslist promoting the sale. I don't expect it to do much...especially if it rains tomorrowbut we'll see what happens. I don't have room for this stuff if it doesn't sell. I need that storage unit for breaking town ewaste, not storing plastic junk. It will all go to the dump on Monday. I'm not even going to spend the time to hit it individually on CL or Facebook Garage Sale groups. I work too much to make that all worth my time. So tomorrow is do or die on this stuff. I WILL be letting stuff go for a dollar..maybe even free. I don't want to put it back in my truck.
I hauled junk all through high school and it always blew my mind when people would pay me (us) $150 to take away a load of stuff that had $200 stickers on it! They would hold a garage sale and give the leftovers to me. I tried to explain that if they would have just put a free sign on the dresser instead of the $150 (that no one was going to pay) they would have gotten rid of it for free...but instead they are paying me to take it to the dump. Some people shook their head like they understood, most just gave me blank stares. I stopped trying to explain this concept after a while because load after load after load had price tags on them instead of free signs. People just don't get it.
Here's my Craigslist ad. I hope the rain holds off. I don't have EZ ups or umbrellas...this could turn into a nightmare.
Storage Unit CLEAROUT - FIND ME AT SATURDAY'S MARKERT
That's all for today... hopefully tomorrow I'll be taking pictures of cash for you guys.
