All you see is a total number of bids, but not what interest rate others bid.By basing my bids on the previous year's results, I was able to bid low enough to win, but still received 16% for lots that reasonably have values of $10k - $25k.

Roof rain pan and glass install
30 January 2012 | 1 reply
I received a quote which I feel is very high.This is even after I told the company that I do not pay retail.On one of my chimneys there is a rusted out rain pan for the chimney top.I had the roof guy take pictures to confirm and show me while I was there.The cap that slides over the rain pan is fine.For a new rain pan the quote with labor is 425.00 which I think is really high for a flat piece of metal.On my buildings I have some exterior glass panels that are cracked and need replacing.I have 3 bigger window panes say 3 feet by 4 feet sliders.Then downstairs I have small slider windows next to the front door say 28 by 14 inches.For the 10 panes they want with 2,350 which comes to 235 a window.Let me know If I can find a better deal or what the cost should be.Sliders,frame,and everything else is fine it is just the glass is broken and needs replacing.

. :)I'm happy to tell the whole story once I receive the official letter from the IRS (a couple weeks), but long story short, I moved a large chunk of my retirement funds into a self-directed product offered by a relatively large financial company.
