After that amount of time you have every right to dispose of it or resell it.


I would guess the price paid would cover the storage fees.

Different states have different laws regarding this so I suggest you enter "disposal of uncollected goods" into google and select the documentation relevant to your own state, then act accordingly.

Like cq said, normally it's around 90 days.


But you could get their number if you want to try one last time.


Go to advanced search next to the search button.


In the left margin select find contact info, you will be emailed their details and they get yours.

k5 that option is only there if you have a current transaction with the member you are requesting details for.


It will not work on a 2yo transaction.

Oh yes, I forgot. I was wondering why no one suggested it.

I would try contacting the buyer once again in any way, something could happened, maybe the buyer got sick or something that hindered him/her to pick them up and could not even make contact with you because of the situation. Try sending buyer, text, letter, email and if address is close to you (reason why she wants to it pick up). Just to avoid any hassle later on. Nobody wants to get into trouble. Do the right thing. Cheers!
