Run newbies up.
Flirt with storage facility employees and auctioneers (when applicable)

Don't stand in front of the door the entire time without moving.
Don't ask other bidders to borrow money.
Don't ask where other auctions are that day or week.
Don't ask to borrow a flashlight or lock, unless you are good friends.
NEVER tell about ALL the best things you have gotten out of units! Maybe throw them a crumb once in a while.
Many feel an unspoken rule should be each regular should only win one room until all the other regulars have won one, but I don't see why they should expect that. When 2 or 3 good rooms come up back to back at the beginning of the day you can bet your sweet a$$ i'm going to bid to win them all even if I took the first one!
What should be an unspoken rule of etiquette that many newbies & part-timers break; asking regulars how they run their business and make money!

Yeah, let me tell you all my trade secrets so when those rooms that only go for $50-$250 because they look like nothing special or losers and you see me bidding you jump in and run them up cause now you know what I see and how I can sell it and for what kind of price I can get!

There should be a hidden linebacker at every auction and as soon as some newbie asks "So how do you..." BAM! CRUSHING BLINDSIDE TACKLE!!
