    Help

    So I went to an estate sale today and in the back there were 2 commercial copy machines, 3 smaller (bigger than an all in 1) copy machines, a thing that holds papers that has a cord on it, and a box that stuff plugs into with a motherboard inside. I will be going back tomorrow. How much would you pay? I know most of you will not buy these but those of you to do, how much.

    Did you get any pics? Model #s?? Anything more than a generic question, would help to give a better answer.

    I might consider offering to come pick them up after the sale is over along with other metal containing objects for free or a small charge. Don't sell yourself short. Mike.

    Just based on what I hear, I don't "see" anything worth paying money for. Pic's might tell another story but,,,,

    you probably should wait until after the sale and offer to take them off the owner's hands for free

    I do this with yard/garage sales. Swing by, peruse what they have. Inform them of what I do and pass out a card, etc. 8 outta 10 times, I get a call back asking me to come get the left overs. I say..No problemo! See ya soon!
