Containers full of stuff

[christmc]

Does anyone know where you can get hold of containers full of "stuff"?

I understand it is posible to buy containers full of stock of varied types from china , i am interested in doing this but have not got a clue how to go about it.

its a gamble because some stuff is damaged and you also have no idea of what your getting but i quite fancy having a flutter,

Any ideas?

Either cocaine, or people

I have a box of semi-useful broken or stuff which is useless to me. You are free to collect it.

I don't have any people or cocaine though.

What do you want to do with the 'stuff'?

Flip it on Ebay?

No idea where you would get hold of such a thing, no idea about it at all, but it sounds really rather interesting and exciting thing to do!!

Do you have enough space to store a container?!?! LOL

Let us know if you pick one up - would be really rather interesting to see what happens!!

What sort of figures do you pay for them??

If buying a trailer load of crud is your idea of fun.

Ive seen container loads of mixed "goods" , in that you get the container.

They were marketed as containers of goods destined for Africa or the Far East, but the shipping company went bust .

In reality they were very rusty knackered containers full of crap.

In fact I'd put money on it being a creative scheme to offload a load of tut.

What I thought was interesting was the auctions of lost luggage that they do in Greasbys Auction house in London. But they go through each bag to check for "illegal" items beforehand, meaning anything that looks of any value at all will be removed. Meaning all you get is someone’s summer wardrobe....

The mail-order catalogues used to sell-on container-loads of returns - you could choose clothes or electrical or toys etc. No idea if they still do since they started opening shops specifically to sell on that kind of stuff.

They used to be available from the docks, a 40ft container used to be £2k+del+vat. This was about 9 years ago tho, so im sure prices etc will have changed!

With the odds stacked against you by the people who packed the container.

if you want to buy a pallett of 'stuff'
have a look at www.johnpyeauctions.co.uk

they have an online catalogue of repossessed goods and liquidated assets
some times it's tat - but you might drop on a bargain pallett to break up and flog on ebay

[john_p]

Looking at that sale today - there were shedloads of LCD TVs on there, more than I could imagine there being buyers for. So, do they all sell, and if so, do they go for peanuts?

I was under the impression that they wern't packed and sold, rather they were containers not collected, not paid for (shipping) etc??

As mentioned above this is similar to the realm of the 'mixed pallet', always loads on ebay:

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p390...

A mate of mine purchased one a couple of years ago from an auction. Think the contents were something like 100 pairs of shoe laces, 10 toasters, 10 kettles and 2,500 Bruce lee posters. He still has 2,499 Bruce Lee posters in his garage if anyone’s interested?
