I have accumulated a collection of items, mostly vinyl records (8,000+), electronics and other small collectibles. We should probably consult in person if you're interesting in the job so you can see what it will entail. If selected, you will get to set prices, decided where, how and when to sell, so long as it does not violate any laws.
The only catch is, as a disabled Vet (I have proof), I cannot pay anything up front. But don't let that deter you. My record collection alone is worth the effort. Done right, you can easily clear a hundred grand. Done fast, much, much less. Likely around a dollar a record, which I would personally reject.
If everything were to sell quickly, I suspect anywhere around 10-15 grand is most likely, which would be 2-3 grand for you at 20% commission. All would need to be catalogued unless arranged otherwise. You should have an idea about how to sell lots of idea for cash, and not trying to learn on the fly. Although that can be arranged.
My main aim is to get a reasonable return on my 'investment', which is the main reason I collected and kept all this stuff. With the right motivation, you could make yourself a year's salary in just a few months. Then I would be able to begin funding my P.O.E.M. (Peace On Earth Movement).
Before you disqualify yourself, let's talk, at least. If the vibe ain't right, no harm no foul. What do you say?
