I closed on a house today, going from an extended two car detached to a three car tandem attached. Wife and I want to use one spot for her car, one for “shop” space and one for a home gym. Right side is double deep. Initially I thought gym in back right, but tools etc by the front might invite...

Finally sold the darn thing. Never again. Enjoying the business though. Most of the time when you make a mistake, you break even. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Similar. New licenses have a 150k net asset, some older ones are 25, 50k etc. but those sell for such a premium the only reason to buy them is so you can shift inventory around when opening more stores. You aren't operating a store through the first year without access to 500k- a mill...

The second sticker was in place, serial and all. Who knows. The mechanic that sold it has pawned and redeemed many things since, so he isn't a fly by night thief type. Who knows why he took it off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't sell this thing to save my life. I know people are getting laid off left and right but wow! No interest at $899 locally. I'll take it home before I sell it for less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fixed it, nvm. Thanks.

Well crud. The bottom drawer falls off the rail. I got new rails from SO and no difference. Doesn't look like it was ever pried open?? I'd hate to attempt to shim the rail over. Anybody have experience fixing this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of those near me just got 400 10k btu portable AC units. I bought 5. If they move I'll buy a dozen or two. Boxes are beat but the units look 90-95%. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We hold for 30 days, and if it's proven to be stolen it's a total loss. Law enforcement picks it up, judge orders it returned. We can get a judgement against the thief but most don't bother. Much more importantly, you want to avoid stolen items to protect your license. This business is hard...

Found the second sticker, thanks guys! Updated our reporting on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Safe for work. Tongue in cheek about "my box". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I had seen how significant that sticker is, I would have passed. Like a previous poster said, that doesn't just fall off from oil etc. If s serial number is scratched off, or has a grind mark making it illegible on an otherwise clean tool, we pass all day. If the whole tool is beat up and...

Picked this up the other day. No numbers on the top right on the back panel at all. Flat black, 40" wide, 19.75 " deep and 46" tall closed. I couldn't find a model number to save my life. Found one for something 36" wide, but no 40"s. Admittedly I'm a newb, so I might be missing it. Yes, I own...

Ok, I'll bite. On an item like this, the pawn shop transmits the model, serial #, and description of the item to the local police, and they get a certain amount of time to review before the item can be sold. The reality is a pawn shop is the last place a thief goes to get cash. CL, facebook...

That's pretty cool. I thought for sure this was one of those cervelle homes? that has the barn style garage. But that's even better. Very interesting. East Pearland lurker here. Looking fwd to pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
