[saltyshoe_nano]

[deluxe_noob]

I've been to it before and they have a lot of stuff but the good stuff goes fast.Also if you have some things you want to get rid of you can sell it there if you take it in the day before.I sold 2 powercompacks last year.

I've been to 2 of them and this is JMO but if you go, you better get there about an hour before it starts. The good stuff goes fast, like in the first 10 min the good stuff is gone. However TWP has awesome sales on almost everything in the store, tanks, livestock and dry goods. It is like a mad house, but very worth the time.

For those that have never been, the stuff is set on tables in the parking lot and then roped off. You can walk around and look from outside the ropes before 11a. Once the ropes "open" it's a mad scramble to get to the "good" stuff. You might want to bring a friend or spouse to help if you think there will more than one item you want. Once inside the ropes, just lay claim to your item and have one of the employees write up a ticket on it, they will then put it aside or mark it "sold" and you can then brouse the rest of the items and inside the store before you pay for everything.

what is a consignment sale exactly?

 

[ncox38]

a quote from your "WTT 120 for RR" thread:

It is where you have someone else sell something for you but they take a percentage.

Ex.

120 gallon tank and stand = $220.
If someone is willing to sell it on consignment and find a buyer and they want 10% of the sale you would get $200 and they would get $20.

Get it ?

 

[wewerehere]

o ok. i read it there too but i didnt understand still but then i again i read it at like 2 in the morning. i understand now though. thank you.

 

[robstl]
