    Don't ignore things like display racks and signs

    They remodeled a Chuck-E-Cheese near me and redecorated the interior. I got these two signs out of the trash and put them on ebay with a BIN price of $75 each. Less than 24 hrs later a guy offered me $40 each and I countered with $50 plus he pays shipping. Both of them fit together in a bicycle box (get these from your local bike shop, they love for people to take em).

    They are made out of wood and foamcore board. Custom signs like this are very, very expensive and selling them on ebay will allow a small buisness owner to save hundreds of dollars and they sell quickly. Same goes for display racks.



    Easy, easy $100 and to be honest, I could have gotten more by holding them but a quick flip is always good on something bulky.

    It seems like a lot of Chuck-E-Cheeses are being remodeled. I think I've read about 5 threads in the last year or so about something to do with them
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer

    I've posted a couple of things about this one so maybe it's all the same one. This was a good remodel for me, I got lots of scrap, stuff to sell and a dollar bill changing machine out of it.

    I have had luck selling metal wire display racks. Put them on Craigs under business equip. Not worth much as shred. I find them by box store alot. They reconfigure their displays a lot and are happy not to fill their dumpsters.

    I;ve haven;t come across a big box store or chain of any kind that was willing to let go of their store racks you would think they were gold or something. Idaho is definatley different, You could say tight. However The state is in the black and isn;t facing budget shortfalls.
