I used to go to great lengths to accommodate buyers who, for one reason or another had problems picking up online auction purchases. I still have a chain saw I brought back to my house months ago to hold for a guy. It's gotten ridiculous lately so my answer is now, "Pick up by the deadline or forfeit your money and the item." I gave away a nice living room set last week to another buyer just to get it out of the house for my clients. It's in our terms and conditions that buyers agree to so we win any credit card disputes. We've even charged disposal fees on a few occasions. Is this something you are encountering?

My clients will occasionally ask me to keep my eye out for a missing treasure such as jewelry, coins, etc. I was once photographing the contents of a bedroom for an online sale. I moved the TV cable box out of the way so it wouldn't be included and found a gorgeous diamond watch under it. I called out to the client and asked jokingly if I could sell the diamond watch. She let out a shriek and came running upstairs to claim it. She told me that her husband had given it to her as a 25th wedding anniversary gift and that she had misplaced it. She had never told him that it was lost and was terrified he'd ask about it one day. She was quite relieved that I had found it. Have you ever found a treasure for one of your clients?
