That's OK Mr. A, but I liked your grid from IL.  Got a grid for Houston and maybe not Public Storage?
How about some of those "obscure" lightly traveled auction sites?

Thanks for the effort.

I just pick out a few, there is tons of auctions that i have found, just spending 5 min on it.

I mean this is just to show people (newbies) that you can do this for free.
I also believe that if you are serious about doing this business, you should find out about this on your own.
When i started, i spent months preparing, doing research, planning, and attending without bidding. I spent maybe 6 to 8 months just learning about the business and slowly get my feet wet.  I believe that everyone who wants to do this must go the long way and the hard way. If you don't do it, well then i think you will be lost really fast.

Here is one that maybe has less people attending.

Well, it certainly is possible to find all these auctions no matter what state you're in however, most people won't go to this much trouble...and yes, I know increased success might demand it, but how sucessful do we have to be ?

If you've got a place to live, a way to get around and food and water (and an internet connection) what more do you need? MAYBE MORE OF EVERYTHING ? 

Wow! I guess I need to do more research then....Thanks!

Wow! I guess I need to do more research then....Thanks!

It is not that hard, google, a cup of coffee and 10 min, then you should be good to go.
Don' throw your money away on something you can have for free.

Ask your self this, if you had 150 dollars, would you spend that on a service that sent you information, or would you spend those 150 dollars on one or several lockers?

Hey you know what, I started doing a search again, and now I was able to find a whole lot more of auctions... .....maybe I dont need to buy a list.
Thanks and sorry tclane
but maybe I'll get the 10 day trial since its only 4.99.

How many newspapers publish legal notices in Memphis? Less than 5? Once again, Houston has a population of over 4,000,000 people not including the people without Visas. Over 1400 storage facilities and over 40 smaller local newspapers. Every city is different. In some, it is easier to find auction information than in others.  It is probably easy to find auction listings when you only have to look in a few places.

Here is an example of a typical week in Houston. However, sometimes we have over 40 facilities having an auction in the same day. On just one Public Storage or U-Haul run, you might be able to look at over 80 units in a 12 hour period. 

I know that you are just trying to make a point but you actually are missing about 75% of the free content that is available on the internet for Houston, not including the 25-40 auctions in our area that you cannot find on any website besides ours. If I could find all of the auction information by going to a few websites, do you think I would spend three weeks out of the month calling facilities and doing data input?

Most national & free websites list the major storage facilities auctions. This is nothing new. Now try finding a listing for Fry Rd. Mini Storage in Katy, TX, a suburb of Houston, without calling the facility. The newspaper they advertise in doesn't put their legal notices online. We list 25-40 of these auctions every month that are almost impossible to find unless happen to live in the small community and subscribe to the local newspaper.
