Recent Auction Winnings

Hey Honey - Fedex just dropped of your recent auction winnings - LOL

Literally would be a lifetime of fun!

I'd be surprised if I spent more than 3 days gettin thru all those boxes. I luv hunting for stuff.

Crazy amount of stuff.

It is stamps, right?

Not an investment lot of toilet paper?

LOL ---I once got 22 of those large boxes from Greg Manning Auctions in 1993 way before ebay started . Back then the Auction firms would welcome my bidding for those bulk lots .Back around that time I was the only bidder at a Rasdale Auction of a huge box lot ,when they brought the boxes to my truck ,they included two other large lots because I had room in the truck and they just wanted them out of the office .Those were the days .

What did that all cost to ship? (from/to where?) How many pounds/boxes? I dare not ask what the lots themselves cost. It would be wonderful to have this much 'work' to keep one busy these days though :-)

Holy smokes!!! That is freakin' awesome. Congrats.

I have occasionally broken down 20 box collection/accumulations. They are certainly a lot of fun to work on.

Wow, that would definetly have to be put in the basement or garage for fear the floor might collapse.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out what you were getting at.... until I clicked on the link. At some level, that is very funny. At another level, it is very sage advice. And yet at a 3rd level, it's just very very sad.

I dream that when I win the lottery (I have LITERALLY thought this), I will buy a mansion with its own dedicated stamp room, and will go to this-or-that auction and just keep buying cartons like a freaking mad man! Kinda buy 2-3 TIMES what is pictured in this thread. Carton lots, individual lots, etc. Hire a trucker to get it to my place. Hire some movers to get it all inside (to some lower level). Then just go to work on it all.

Hopefully it doesn't rain..

As a collector of definitives, dues, and officials, my scope of collecting is miniscule compared to many if not most of the other collectors in this forum. Yet, I have difficulty keeping up with managing and organizing my stamps.

I truly envy those of you who can tackle the scope of "Big Blue" type collecting and work through massive lots like these, quickly.

I might've done the equivalent of 1 of those pallets in the last 5 years, so I'm with you Shermae - I think the parking lot full shown would literally kill me and last a lifetime to get through. Might even stop being fun, and just plain work.

A risk I am willing to take!!!

Whoa - some of you misunderstood my post. It was tongue in cheek - its from the website of a dealer. I only got one small pallet of stuff. I just thought it was a funny photo - especially if you are a stamp collector.
