   Do you or know someone that does "picking" for someone else? Pickers work for others who are collecting certain items to add to their collections.

   I guess you could say I did this years ago. I had a shop were I sold collectables and certain customers liked certain things like cobalt or witches, wizards, frogs, owls; (collectable glassware) you name it. I kept an eye out and do not recall ever having anyone not take what I found. I made a profit but was fair in my pricing. I loved it.

      I guess this is a form of being a picker; usually someone travels and looks for things for a client. Being a picker can be rewarding and profitable as you said. ;-)

   Yes, we are pickers. We pick for the sole purpose of reselling.  After having a store on Ebay for several years, we're convinced EVERYTHING will eventually sell, but electronics seem to sell faster. Even old electronic parts sell.  We have access to a family storage unit business which makes it easier to pick. Storage Finds by Tomka is where we list our picks.

      You sell more electronics than anything else?  I'm glad you found success buying and selling from storage units; that's something I'd like to try one day.
