I know we talk alot about Storage Wars and Auction Hunters, but there is a less famous guy out there on the internet selling books about the storage auction business and telling stories and giving advise on YouTube. Any of you buy the books or a membership to his blog? Do you think it's worth while?
Hey Glendon, are you on here?

I got his book, its a good book all in all. Specially catered to those who only got a spark of interest because of the shows. Some of the info in his book is what I feel is common sense, some things I already knew. However I did learn a few things, some of those things I put to practice now. Was planning on getting his garage sale book as well, just have not done it as of yet. However I do not attend his University Pod Cast he is doing for storages. That I would think is not worth the money, but then again you never know till you try. I however will pass on the Uni.
-
He has a lot of great videos! He has a lot of information and insight on running a business that apply to businesses other than just storage auctions. Lot's of common sense ideas and straight talk. He never says the storage auction business is easy....he stresses over and over that this will probably be the hardest work most of you have ever done. He also touches on staying out of debt! Well worth watching his youtube videos, and the price is right! Never have bought any of his info though.
-
Some of the videos are quite entertaining but, some of the advise shows his limited thinking. I think the videos can be a good educational tool for a new person in this business; however, there is plenty of other free content out there. Take this forum for example.
-
Oh yeah. he is an online marketer and book writer now. He is making some serious cash though. You would think with all that money he would spend some of it on a quality website....the current one really looks unprofessional. Or should I say ghetto.
-
Don't get me wrong I watch Glendons videos, I think he's a good speaker, has some interesting storeis and even some good tips however for the most part it's all common sense type stuff and he seems to have more stories about people, interesting units, and experiences more so than actually offering advice. He does give some great tips on using craigslist, etc, etc, etc.
-
I've watched a few of his videos, he's funny. I emailed him awhile back trying to get him to join the forums and see if he wanted to advertise lol no reponse.

Most of his tips and advice are in the book. But still, for someone who has taken the time to actually research, or has been in the business as resell or a storage auction goer, its mostly common sense. Not all, but a good amount of it.
-
I like Glendons new video. SOmething about if your not willing to spend some m oney and take some risks just say "I'm a scared little ***** and stop going to auctions" lol.
-
That makes a lot of sense.
That's like saying if you can't afford to lose the money, don't go to a casino.
The key to making money in this business, post storage auction reality shows, is getting off the beaten path and being patient and waiting for the right unit to come along. Buying in volume also helps.
I think your odds are actually better at the casino these days.
-

I like his other quote better, "Scared money never made money"
-
I like his other quote better, "Scared money never made money"
I also think that's a great quote but it's not Glendons. There's a song by Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne called scared money and talks about how "scared money dont make no money" although I imagine the phrase was around even before that since rap steals and doesn't do anything origional.
-
I purchased his book, my review is:
Good information for anyone who has not done any prior research on the storage auction industry. My main concern with the book is he gives a lot of "teaser" information about running the business. He tells you he is going to go into "detail" but never does. I think it is just a marketing ploy to hook people into purchasing more of his products. It seems his method is to get people to by his book, offer a little information, buy more books, get a little more information, join his podcasts, get a little more information, sign up for his Storage Auction Universtiy get a little more information, etc, etc. I think it's a great marketing strategy for him, but as far as buying a comprehensive guidebook about the storage auction business, this book does not deliver.

Ahh ok, well I dont listen to Jeezy or lil Wayne. Nothing against Young Jeezy, I like some of his songs. But I really cant stand Lil Wayne, never really have.
But still really love the quote. Where ever the heck it came from.
-
"Scared money don't (doesn't) make money"
It is a saying that has been in the Afro-American culture and recycled for many many years.
-------------------------
I have watched all of Glendon's videos and find them interesting and funny. I also have his e-book. There are a few items that he teaches you that are good bits of advice in the book. There are a lot of grammatical and spelling errors, but whatever.
If you just watch all the videos, you will get probably 79% of the book contents.
-

Yeah, same here. No response. I guess he just got to big for his britches. Perhaps you should start the next email with "Hi, Glendon, we are interested in purchasing 100 of your books". Bet you would get a response then.
That's one of the best things about this forum or my blogs & websites. If you want to ask us something, most of us are glad to help you out.

I ordered Glendon's e-book on "Storage Auctions, A-Z" and found it to be quite insightful. The business plan section was very helpful. Basic guidelines and very easy to understand. Either way, Mr. Cameron's experience as well as the others in this forum definitely supplements my knowledge base on a very insular industry, in my opinion.

How much was the ebook?
-
Hiya Movieman! I paid $29.99 for the 2011 Silver Edition. The same book in hardcover is between $42-45 on Amazon and other places. I read the first 100 pages or so in an evening and the remaining 100 + the following day. A very good read and quite entertaining. He had some typos but you have to get past that in order to grasp the key concepts, I think.

Those aren't typos, they're Ebonics.
-
Typos, Ebonics, Hillbilly english, what's the difference? Someone can speak and write in a dialect from another country but as long as I understand the general concept and meaning of the individual's message, that's all that matters to me.
Frankly, I'm very grateful that some of the subject matter regarding the industry supplements my knowledge and general curiosity.

Alright Glendon, the cats out of the bag. You can quit pretending to be from Alabama. Nice try though. LOL ::)

If someone had a book on how to fix the economy do you think the book would have all the answers or just what most people lack? (COMMON SENSE)

Too bad I dont know how to write a GOOD book, cause if I did I think I would write one on how to fix this economy, :)

That I would think is not worth the money, but then again you never know till you try. I however will pass on the Uni.
Thanks for buying the book. As for common sense I watched new people come out for 8 years and not do MOST of what is in the book, shoot I even know people who had more time in the game than I did who did not practice those methods.

Now to you and your " soft" racism, yes that is exactly what it is you little scared *****! You assumed that I would come on this forum under cover and sing my praises, you are about as stupid as your avatar , you dumb big dummy. I have no problem calling you out! I will speak on your website and services , to the point of just how effective and worthless they are! Yes, if someone wanted to buy a hundred books I would DEFINITELY speak to them before addressing your dumb ass, please believe.

Thanks for the props I am a capitalist, I made no bones about selling the good stuff from day one, sincen 2009 question for you, if you had GREAT advice , EFFECTIVE advice, advice that makes people MONEY, would you just give it away? Honestly if you could make a six figure income from that advice would you just "give" it away? I think we both know the answer to that question! LOL Thanks for the love!

Drew,
I don't believe in your product and in my honest opinion I think it is a waste of money, point blank, some of my students bought your list and there were many properties I told about that were not on that list! Hopefully you improved that situation. Well you wanted me to join and I here! Just like I tell the truth in my blog and videos I will do the same here. Storage auction list are inaccurate the day they come out. Most people wait until the last minute to pay up, there is no way around conducting your own due diligence in research. Being an ardent manager of your data can make you rich, if you leave that to others do not be angry if you come up short. One more thing, if you delete my posts and responses in this forum and you allow others to state their feelings, I will sue you, trust.

Thanks for the feedback you are helping me in more ways than one! Tell me more about this research you speak of In 2009 there were maybe a Google search page of information about storage auctions. I am preparing some lawsuits for folks who have ripped me off, before I did the blog, created the videos there was very little information on the web about this business, very little. Define teaser, I have several people who bought the books send unsolicited- Thank You! for the information it is making me money emails. As for not delivering, did you really try, I have waaaaaaaaay too many people happy with the results they gained from buying my books, for what you say to be true! Not to mention I have sold thousands of books and only a handful of reviews like yours ( 3 or 6) , that speaks volumes!!!

Hey I am not for everyone, I totally get that, to each his own. Honestly I think a lot of people who are getting in the storage auction game, are totally not cut out for the rigors of the biz. This is what pisses me off is there is this - NO DEROGATORY POLICY- yet things in that light were allowed to be posted about me, so I figured I can say what I want and it should be all good! Drew is here in Atlanta, very easy to go to file my suit at the Fulton County courthouse if he deletes my posts, I even sent him a message stating exactly what would happen if my posts were deleted, freedom of speech works both ways, playa!. Understand I want this thread to be left alone, leave all posts as they are.....certain people wanted me to chime in, so here I am.....

Hey Glendon, about time you came in, but now I know why you didnt, read all your post on here. As far as Drew deleting, I very serious doubt he would do that. I personally only seen post deleted by either the OP or by Drew IF they were SPAM. And your post are in no way, IMO spam.
And I stick to what I say, to me yes alot of it is common sense, but as I told you on FB, Youtube, and I think I mentioned it on your blog, not 100% sure on that. I do recommend your book to noobies to this business or any other business that deals with resells, or for any sales for that matter. CHeers

Good to hear, that bytch on here has not heard the last of me, she thinks she is so funny, i can't wait until she responds, if her cowardly little arse does. As for common sense, we all know we should save money and live inside of a budget, how many people do that? We also talked about the context, a person who owned and run a successful business is going to be far ahead of the pack, than someone who has only held a job most of their life. . I had one guy who owned a garbage truck ( yes one) he took my course and in the weeks his resale income equaled his garbage income, everyone is not in the same place business and skill wise. 99% of the folks getting in the game have no idea what they are getting into and newbies, you are going to save far more money buying my products than you will trying to 'figure" it out on your own, I have too many unsolicited testimonials in my inbox to support that.
-
Glendon Cameron well reading this thread I took all the comments about your book and videos as a constructive look from different people. " hey I liked it, Helped me out, Not for me ect."
But after reading your post trying to defend yourself over what I don't know I find your threats offensive

It is clear you only read what you wanted to, I am not a kiss ass and some of these comments about me were very offensive racially ( ebonics, ghetto) I guess those are okay??? If you think that is " constructive" you might want to look up the word to fully understand its meaning. In what way did I threaten you? My posts were very clear, if we are going to let the game go on with no calls, then by all means let it go all out. I went after the one that went after me and engaged the others in dialogue . As for defending myself, I am not , I am pretty much calling a spade a spade. So many people want something for nothing......I was asked to come here, think on that.
-
Since I have been asked to weigh on this forum, I will give you the full monty. If you are dumb, weak, lazy, need someone to hold your hand and lack a serious work ethic, then the storage auction game is not for YOU!!!! Don't watch my videos, don't buy my books- they will be of no good to you! A totally waste of your money, better for you to stay at home, watch the reality tv shows and leave it at that.
There have been many comments here about me , my videos and my products. It is clear to me some of the folks who are making the comments, never read my books nor watched my videos, because if they had, they would have heard the first paragraph several time in the videos. Another thing if you are offended by comments here then you really need to keep your a$$ at home, because the storage auction business will be much harsher and damning to you than I ever could be. It is not a business for the faint at heart.
Below is a link to the opinions and reviews of the people who actually READ the book- to all of the folks who supported me here, thanks much, I appreciate you!

I think its important that you get as much information as possible: by the forums,Glendon Camerons or other authors.
You have to to find out what works for you.
If we all did it the same way it would no longer be any fun.

Very true, I read many books, blogs, newspapers, the more knowledge you have the better off you are! When I was in the business, I spent 25% of my time on data, it is just that important!
-
As I agree, even though I am not currently active out there right now, I still share my opinions, thoughts and experiences with people on this forum as well as another forum. Also help out a few people in my local area.
But I still constantly try to learn something new, a different way of doing things. Which is why I subscribe here, in another forum, several people on youtube, including Glendon here, Redneck Picker, as well as to there websites.
We can never learn enough, we learn everyday, and no one knows all the answers. And what will work for one person, may or may not work for another.

Wait, are you joking or do you honestly believe a cause of action exists for having your posts deleted on an internet message board? If you're serious, I hate to break it to you, but that isn't how freedom of speech works. Freedom of speech protects you from the government infringing on your rights. Private entities like this message board aren't covered. They can delete whatever they want.

Dude, when a board has a policy ( and this board does) and that policy is not followed unilaterally, that opens up the door for a lawsuit. I have done it before and won. It is like when your employer has a employee handbook, but folks are treated "differently" outside the rules in the book, there have been several multi-million dollars lawsuit won on someone get preferential treatment and others did not. Spend a day reading case law and you might understand. I have filed five lawsuit and won, real life is not like Law and Order.

I'm sorry, but I'm quite sure you're full of it. If you'd actually filed lawsuits and won, you'd know that they had nothing whatsoever to do with freedom of speech. At best if might involve some sort of contract law, but there would be a multitude of issues involved with that, making it decidedly unlikely anyone would win anything on that. I could go into more detail, but I don't see the point because it seems clear to me that you're now just going to lie and say whatever you please.
-
Whether you like me or not, I draw a crowd, this board has gotten more action in a few hours of my posting than it did in months ;D anyone who has watched my videos knows I will tell you exactly what I think of you. I think I am going to like this place!
-
Perhaps you should read the links you just posted. They involve lawsuits against public schools and cities and so forth. Those are considered part of the government and thus covered by the freedom of speech amendment.
You stated specifically that your lawsuit was based on the idea of freedom of speech. You did so at least twice, in fact.

I stated freedom of speech works both ways, you inferred a meaning that was not there, not my fault you can't keep up, since you are right why are you engaging? This is pure fun for me. In retrospect Drew will probably let this ride, I am more fun than a carnival.....
-
The point is, freedom of speech does not in fact work that way and would be entirely irrelevant to any lawsuit against this message board. This alone leads me to believe that you have no idea what you're talking about.
If you think you do know what you're talking about, then tell me: precisely what would your cause of action be? Failure to apply a policy is not in and of itself a cause of action, but rather your potential allegation for what might have happened. A cause of action is something based on a particular established legal concept.
Why am I engaging? Because I enjoy pointing out stupid arguments.
-
Welcome to the forums! Way to come out swinging! lol This should be an interesting thread to follow! As for me deleting post it is a very rare instance and usually is only for spam related topic. I have been apart of many forums that were way over regulated and it got annoying. I like to let things ride out. So have fun!
-
anyone who has watched my videos knows I will tell you exactly what I think of you. I think I am going to like this place!
lol, I feel a video coming on :)
-
That's one of the things I like about watching his videos.......he tells it the way it is and doesn't shy away from being controversial!
Welcome to the forum Glendon.....I hope you stick around a while and post in some other topics!
-

Hey Glendon,
Ease up a little bit, I'm a paying customer! LOL! Admittedly a lot has changed since the 2009 edition of your EBook, even you say the 2011 edition has a lot more information (did you say 75% more?).
Two major concerns when I made that post.
1. I was looking for in depth information on how to run a re-sale store, it wasn't in there. I am conditioned to reading University level textbooks and professional journals. I think you would agree your book is not written at this level nor attempted to be, I understand you wrote a book that is fairly easy to comprehend by just about anyone who buys the book.
2. I was afraid this would be your only contribution. I was excited about your experience in the business and really wanted to "sink my teeth" into your knowledge. I expected a lot more from the book. I thought it might be possible this would be the only information you were going to share and disappear into the night with all your money. lol.
I now know your are continuing to refine your publishing business and the information you sell. (Damn Capitalist! ;))
I am a member of your resellers Master Mind group, and I find the group and the information to be very helpful in running the business.
I am also looking forward to your Boot Camp Webinar happening today!
Peace

OMG what a jerk. FWIW a forum is considered privately owned and the owners/admins of the site can add, keep, or delete anything they want. There is no first amendment right, or freedom of speech rights here. Take a moment and do some simple research and you'll find that many have tried and failed to do what you just threatened.
-
But what about his 5 successful lawsuits against message boards? Are you saying someone could lie about something on the internet? I, for one, am shocked at such a notion. Shocked!
-
This Glendon guy seems to have a bad case of "Big keyboard"
-
Oh yeah. he is an online marketer and book writer now. He is making some serious cash though. You would think with all that money he would spend some of it on a quality website....the current one really looks unprofessional. Or should I say ghetto.
I agreewith you 100% on this.

Well people see the tv show then they do research on the net see your book and you make bank. Great idea. Seems like people that read your book and either get dumb or dumber. Do you take a good dump?? Now thats stupid by his book and use the paper as ***wipe.
-
I've spent quite a few hours watching the videos. It certainly helps that I am running around in the same territory that he was in when he was still buying. The flea markets and storage facilities are the same that I am still traveling to when I have time. I have heard that he likes to lead you through one book to entice you into purchasing the next, which in my opinion is a good marketing strategy.
I am sure he had to compete with sterling and wes and some of the other "whales" that I have to deal with all ofthe time.
Either way the videos are great because they are free. I personally don't think I would purchase a product, although 6 months ago I had considered it.
Why are people getting so up tight about this. I'm happy he stopped by.
P.S. Glendon, you articulate yourself much better in your videos.

I am sure he had to compete with sterling and wes and some of the other "whales" that I have to deal with all ofthe time.
Either way the videos are great because they are free. I personally don't think I would purchase a product, although 6 months ago I had considered it.
Why are people getting so up tight about this. I'm happy he stopped by.
P.S. Glendon, you articulate yourself much better in your videos.
Well since your "name dropping" in the Atlanta area, who are you? ;D Who are the other "whales" in Atlanta besides Sterling and Wes? I know Sterling and know of Wes, but don't go to auctions in Atlanta, yet... ;)
-
Assuming that was really Glendon Cameron responding (and we really don't know that it was, do we?), I have lost all respect for him.
What kind of loser jumps on the forum and right away starts threatening to sue someone?
Props to Drew for leaving "Glendon's" criticism of Drew's auction list on the forum. I sincerely doubt if someone made the same comments about Glendon's products on Glendon's website, they would be there long.
-
I don't think you can register for his site unless you pay dollars. I wouldn't pay upwards of 50 bucks to antagonize someones work. Unfortunately here we all have to deal with it.
-
I've only watched his YouTube videos and I like the scenarios he gives. That's really what I've been looking for and haven't found from watching the shows. The questions I had about the storage auction biz really pertain to something I have to find out on my own (what's the average bid? where do I find auctions? should I hire people?, etc.)
If you want to be successful in business, you take chances, spend money, lose money, learn from it, etc. I don't believe you can become successful from buying a book or watching videos.
-
Honestly I think yall really need to lay off of Glendon, granted I didnt much like the idea of the threats of suing people. But I can see it from his side on that as well. Seems to me that some people are just mad because they didnt do what he did before he did it. Honestly speaking he jumped ship from doing auctions just in time, with the tv shows being a hit, people googling on how to cash in on it, and the hoardes of noobies trying to go out and make a dime into $20. GC has a good marketing strategy of enticing his customers just enough to want more. And I believe that is just about what anybody would do. I know I would, but I cant write for ****, lol.
-
That's one of the things I like about watching his videos.......he tells it the way it is and doesn't shy away from being controversial!
Welcome to the forum Glendon.....I hope you stick around a while and post in some other topics!
Thanks, some people don like the truth!!!
-
I've spent quite a few hours watching the videos. It certainly helps that I am running around in the same territory that he was in when he was still buying. The flea markets and storage facilities are the same that I am still traveling to when I have time. I have heard that he likes to lead you through one book to entice you into purchasing the next, which in my opinion is a good marketing strategy.
I am sure he had to compete with sterling and wes and some of the other "whales" that I have to deal with all of the time.

"Why are people getting so up tight about this. I'm happy he stopped by." Thanks Dude!
Many who are PO'ed are the same gutless wonders, who will NEVER be successful in this business. I am a capitalist, I never pretended to be anyone's buddy or friend to get their business. Here is a tip for the timid, to close a sale you often need to straight up ask for the money! For all that want to know, I was asked by several customers for the other books, what is really funny each book stands on his own. As for my entry on this forum, it got more responses in a few hours, than it did in months and whether you want to or not many of you little whining sissies actually learned a lot from my videos, go ahead and hate me , you make me more money!
-
Well people see the tv show then they do research on the net see your book and you make bank. Great idea. Seems like people that read your book and either get dumb or dumber. Do you take a good dump?? Now thats stupid by his book and use the paper as ***wipe.
A wise man once said it makes sense to actually know what you are talking about before you speak-

I just got your book Making Money with Self Storage Auctions an hour ago. I have not put it down! I am already halfway through the book and am thoroughly impressed by your real life take on business. I personally was a successful eBay business owner a few years back full-time but got out of the business due to some of the same issues that you discuss in your book. Your book not only speaks to these real world issues (that no other book, not even eBay specific books talk about) but offer invaluable solutions! I love your perspective and it has rejuvenated my passion for resale. I was just on such an mental high after starting your book I had to let you know. I am purchasing your other two books right know. Keep up the great work!

This review is from: Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions 2011: The Silver Edition (Paperback)
For the literary types amongst us, you may find this book to be rough and unpolished. But what this book lacks in fit and finish, it more then makes up for in content! If you are interested in storage unit auctions, either as a beginner or intermediate buyer, you will find useful information in this book. It will cut your learning curve down to a manageable level. For the women out there interested in storage unit auctions, you may find this business to be a little intimating. The book is written from a male prospective, but don't let that stop you from reading this book and learning the auction business! Anyone can use the information contained in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Very Few Quality "Making Money" Books, July 8, 2011
By Art K. - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions 2011: The Silver Edition (Paperback)
I don't buy many books and especially not of the Instructional/How To Make Money Genre. I chose to buy this book after watching Glendon's videos as I was doing research on storage auctions. And I am very happy I did buy the book.
After being to a number of auctions and buying a few units, I will conclusively state that Glendon is not exaggerating when he says that no one did storage auctions like he did. The book contains his knowledge that will be of value whether you are a newbie or a seasoned storage auction buyer, whether you want to do it full-time or part-time. Just recently I was reminded, yet again, just how accurate his advice is, particularly the section on the must-have items to bring to a storage auction.
The book is also a fun & enjoyable read, at the very least you will walk away saying "Wow, that's interesting". At best, you will go to your first storage auction with all the right tools, the right mindset and the right plan.
If you're looking into storage auctions, this book is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Anyone Thinking Of Buying A Storage Unit, October 18, 2011
By Jeremy - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions 2011: The Silver Edition (Paperback)
I bought the three book package and couldn't be more satisfied with the information that was provided. I found your channel around March of this year and bought my first unit in September. I basically doubled my money on the unit. It was a 10×10 around 3/4 full. No treasures just your run of the mill stuff. Best item was a gold necklace that brought 208.00 dollars. I would not have been able move it with out the information provided in the books. Even armed with all the information that you have provided, it was still an overwhelming experience dealing with all the items that came out of that locker. Anyone who is thinking about buying a storage unit or going to into the business, these three books are MUST READ. Thanks again.

I Really enjoyed this book it has a lot of good common sense advice which at first you might think you don't need because some things are simple most people would overlook them and suffer because of it. Glendon sharing his experience and knowledge is sure to help you avoid obstacles he has learned from the hard way very educational and entertaining at the same time.

This book is seriously one of the best business books you will read. Although it is geared toward storage auctions, it applies to any business buying and selling used goods. When it says A-Z, it is not lying. EVERYTHING is in this book. I wish I had read this book before starting on ebay and paypal, because I would not have made mistakes. The author has been through it all, and tells you exactly how to be successful and avoid problems.

Assuming that was really Glendon Cameron responding (and we really don't know that it was, do we?), I have lost all respect for him.
What kind of loser jumps on the forum and right away starts threatening to sue someone?
Props to Drew for leaving "Glendon's" criticism of Drew's auction list on the forum. I sincerely doubt if someone made the same comments about Glendon's products on Glendon's website, they would be there long.
I have no need for your respect as for "losing" since I came here and adressed certain people my book sales EXPLODED LOL. You don't seem to understand Drew had no choice in the matter, there was some bull$hit left up here about me that had NOTHING to do with the books, that is the thing that pissed me off and brought me here. When you put yourself out there you will be criticized, it is part of the landscape and some is valid, but that soft racism is outbounds and the little bytch that left those remarks has yet to respond, like the little coward she is. If you don't think this is me, you clearly have not watched my videos. ..... I have said since 2009 if you were weak , lazy and need someone to hold your hand, don't buy my books or even get in the business, because you will not be successful!!
-

Dude you are a total DUMB- A$$$ and you said it , YOU DON'T THINK the truth of the matter is www.storageauctionguru.com , wwww.urbanpackrat.com are all free and you don't have to register, to read , see this is the stupid sheeeeet that I am talking about. Now if you want the book you have to pay and it is clear you looked into it, but youR comprehension skills are a little weak man.

"If you want to be successful in business, you take chances, spend money, lose money, learn from it, etc. I don't believe you can become successful from buying a book or watching videos. "
-This is partially true, you need to put some skin in the game, no doubt about it. However , if I had the information I put out when I started ( I shudder at the thought) these muthers down here ran me up to the tune of $9000 my first few months. To be successful you need to be out there on the trail and educate yourself, accounting tax laws, sales techniques, market trends, etc I know the reason i was successful out there and with the publishing business is because I educate myself and the paid information has always beat the free stuff, always. For years I was one of the handful of people using ebay and craigslist in Atlanta- YEARS dude, because so many people think they can figure it all out by their lonesome, and don't self educate you need a team in this life to be successful.
-
It is clear you only read what you wanted to,Yes I did I am not a kiss ass and some of these comments about me were very offensive racially ( ebonics, ghetto) I guess those are okay??? And no it is not
You did light this thing up. Glad things are going your way. Others have posted how I felt. So want rehash.
And you are right sometimes you just have to ask for the money. Good luck to you.

Seems to me that some people are just mad because they didnt do what he did before he did it.
Dude thanks for the support, as for the suing I was 100% serious, I don't shy away from controversy, I thrive on it and I knew many of the folks here were not going to be happy and express their displeasure at my responses in turn pushing up the Google rank of this page, thus making more people aware of my products and in turn making me more money. It is kinda of funny, when you think about it!
Now that little bytch that was on my dick for some reason, ( and has yet to respond) that was allowed to go on and I made sure my responses would be read, it seems you and a few other friends on this forum seem to take note of that, while others look over it. Kind of like that stupid hate the rich movement going on right now, if you can't beat them JOIN THEM!! Some of the folks here don't have the gonads to drop 2k-5K on a room and hate the ones who do or have done it.
Folks are going to hate,it is part of life, because in 2009 when I got sick and my partner was diagnosed with cancer, I got out the business and wrote the book, I had no ideal any of this shytt would jump off. When people say I sell books to make money, they are 100% correct, yep guilty. There is a reason many folks have bought all of my books and will be buying the next one!

Wow...I am honored. The BIG man wants me to kiss his ass. Ain't that sweet.
I still don't know that this is the real Glendon Cameron but judging by the general inability to form a proper sentence or spell, for that matter, it clearly matches up to his website. Do you think if I bought one of your books you could invest in a dictionary or at least a spellchecker? Oh, I'm sorry, that must be "soft racism".
I have to say, threatening people on these boards who are, for the most part, anonymous, when you are not, isn't very bright. I also find it intriguing how much time you have to spend on these boards.
Anyway, I don't much care what you say because at the end of the day, I still get to be me while you are stuck being you.

Drew,
I want to thank you for this opportunity to express myself!! So many people who claimed to dislike me, that I don't know what I am talking about are drinking my content like a crack ho on a binge! All over my website, watching the videos, like they just can't get enough! Well as the last few days have proved, there is not such thing as bad publicity ;D I might take you up on the banner ad, this could be sweet!!!!

Some of the videos are quite entertaining but, some of the advise shows his limited thinking. I think the videos can be a good educational tool for a new person in this business; however, there is plenty of other free content out there. Take this forum for example.

I doubt your the real Glendon Cameron, (or hell you could be, I don't know who the guy is.) because a real "author" and webmaster of such a great page/book. doesn't have time to spend crying like a 4 YEAR OLD, on message boards all day to people you have NEVER MEET!

I bought 10 units my first month, so that is some bull! if you are too scared to take the risk, just man up and say so, scared money never money. Tip, you are never going to become good if you don't buy more than a few units a month.

10 units! WOW are you serious man? Oh man you are the master!!!!! I never could imagine doing that.......... here is a hint for you newbie. It's called not buying a unit for the sake of buying a unit. I go to 4/5 auctions a week and see 12-25 units. I bid on several. but I don't buy a unit just to get one. I unlike you actually have a life off the internet. I don't spend a crap ton of money to to brag on the message boards about buying a bunch of units.
See I have done exactly what I wanted to, I proved that your really not who you claim, and if you were who you claimed, you wouldn't bother checking this board every 15 minutes to see what has been said about you.
You are just some lowlife with the internet and nothing else to do.

Anyway, I don't much care what you say because at the end of the day, I still get to be me while you are stuck being you.
Um I like to mention, that is GC speaking, go to his website, follow the link to his FaceBook, somewhere in his friends list you will see me. Me and GC have talked about the on going talk that is going on on this thread. Not much, but enough to verify that it is really him.

This review is from: Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions 2011: The Silver Edition (Paperback)
I just got your book Making Money with Self Storage Auctions an hour ago. I have not put it down! I am already halfway through the book and am thoroughly impressed by your real life take on business. I personally was a successful eBay business owner a few years back full-time but got out of the business due to some of the same issues that you discuss in your book. Your book not only speaks to these real world issues (that no other book, not even eBay specific books talk about) but offer invaluable solutions! I love your perspective and it has rejuvenated my passion for resale. I was just on such an mental high after starting your book I had to let you know. I am purchasing your other two books right know. Keep up the great work!

This review is from: Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions 2011: The Silver Edition (Paperback)
For the literary types amongst us, you may find this book to be rough and unpolished. But what this book lacks in fit and finish, it more then makes up for in content! If you are interested in storage unit auctions, either as a beginner or intermediate buyer, you will find useful information in this book. It will cut your learning curve down to a manageable level. For the women out there interested in storage unit auctions, you may find this business to be a little intimating. The book is written from a male prospective, but don't let that stop you from reading this book and learning the auction business! Anyone can use the information contained in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Very Few Quality "Making Money" Books, July 8, 2011
By Art K. - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions 2011: The Silver Edition (Paperback)
I don't buy many books and especially not of the Instructional/How To Make Money Genre. I chose to buy this book after watching Glendon's videos as I was doing research on storage auctions. And I am very happy I did buy the book.
After being to a number of auctions and buying a few units, I will conclusively state that Glendon is not exaggerating when he says that no one did storage auctions like he did. The book contains his knowledge that will be of value whether you are a newbie or a seasoned storage auction buyer, whether you want to do it full-time or part-time. Just recently I was reminded, yet again, just how accurate his advice is, particularly the section on the must-have items to bring to a storage auction.
The book is also a fun & enjoyable read, at the very least you will walk away saying "Wow, that's interesting". At best, you will go to your first storage auction with all the right tools, the right mindset and the right plan.
If you're looking into storage auctions, this book is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Anyone Thinking Of Buying A Storage Unit, October 18, 2011
By Jeremy - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions 2011: The Silver Edition (Paperback)
I bought the three book package and couldn't be more satisfied with the information that was provided. I found your channel around March of this year and bought my first unit in September. I basically doubled my money on the unit. It was a 10×10 around 3/4 full. No treasures just your run of the mill stuff. Best item was a gold necklace that brought 208.00 dollars. I would not have been able move it with out the information provided in the books. Even armed with all the information that you have provided, it was still an overwhelming experience dealing with all the items that came out of that locker. Anyone who is thinking about buying a storage unit or going to into the business, these three books are MUST READ. Thanks again.

I Really enjoyed this book it has a lot of good common sense advice which at first you might think you don't need because some things are simple most people would overlook them and suffer because of it. Glendon sharing his experience and knowledge is sure to help you avoid obstacles he has learned from the hard way very educational and entertaining at the same time.

I usually do not take the time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to for Glendon's book. First,most people will look at the price of this book and be turned away.

This book is seriously one of the best business books you will read. Although it is geared toward storage auctions, it applies to any business buying and selling used goods. When it says A-Z, it is not lying. EVERYTHING is in this book. I wish I had read this book before starting on ebay and paypal, because I would not have made mistakes. The author has been through it all, and tells you exactly how to be successful and avoid problems.

Awsome. I can write reviews as well and maske them look like gold! Hey you wrote a book and are making money! Thats awsome and a great idea as well. Im just saying common sense can teach people the same stuff you are writting and do way better. loosen up dude! Be proud dont get so defesive,calm down.
-
"Im just saying common sense can teach people the same stuff you are writting and do way better" Prove it, easy to say, hard to do.
I did not write the reviews LOL yall kill me with that shyt, you give a backhand compliment wrapped in an insult.
-
Ok, well that's why I'm called a newbie. See IF you knew anything about this business you would know that I can't buy 40 units in my first week. Once again you are proving how worthless you are in life. Keep dreaming the dream champ.
I dont the man is worthless I actually think he is smart as hell! He is writting books and they are selling. Im just saying common sense will take you just as far. You see a unit and you know either you can sell the stuff or not! Its that easy. Why people over bid is beyond me, thats just stupid. BID ON WHAT YOU CAN SEE AND TH REST IS ALL PROFIT.

lol Ive heard that before when I was in radio years ago. Everyone loves a good backhand compliment and I can get a rise out of anyone. Its my god given talent.
-
IMHO his videos have some value to people new to this game, but it's not like his videos are anything earth shattering. He gives way to much info out on YouTube which makes the thought of paying for a book that has the same crap in it which is ridiculous. I understand the concept of making cash off of what's hot, but do it the right way!
As others have said also if you need to read a book of "Secrets Glen has" then your doomed to fail from jump street. Without any common sense you'll be upside down on units so quick it won't even be funny.
-
One more thing, if you delete my posts and responses in this forum and you allow others to state their feelings, I will sue you, trust.
I don't see why you would need to preempt this with such an ultimatum as I haven't seen any indication that the administration here are a bunch of jackbooted thugs.
And even if such were the case, you would have no legal ground to stand on. Freedom of speech only applies to the press & public venues. This is a privately owned site. They can censor/ban whoever they want, whenever they want. Posting on an online message board is like buying a storage unit in the sense that you have no guarantees of any kind and have to agree to the ToS just to register.
That having been said, I do enjoy your videos on YouTube & wish you the best in marketing your information.
-
Glendon, get used to it, lots of haters around. I havn't been on the site lately got a new business that's a lot less labor intensive and profitable than storage auctions though I do still try to hit up a few auctions a month and still dabble with my site as well.
Myself as well as TC and many others who run sites or try to do anything outside the box have been met with insults, backhanded compliments and other comments from haters.
I give you props man, I've enjoyed your videos and writings for a long time. I also think its funny some people try to call you fly by night guy or say you never did aucitons or anything else as far as I'm concerned you were the origional in terms of being creative and trying to make a buck off the storage auction craze
Keep doing your thing man.

Watch and read them for ideas.Once again your never to old to sharpen the axe of knowledge.

LOL since you are so smart I have a challenge for you. You said you can do it better than me prove it. If you can and I seriously doubt you can, there is $5000 for you.
lets see if that God given talent will help you out! ;D

I enjoy watching Glendon's youtube videos, and just purchased his garage sale book. Got it in the mail today. I believe I can learn a few things from this guy. Much better info than one would get from watching "Storage Wars".

So this must be what Drew was telling me about. The big GC - gracing us with his presence. I'll have to read this entire thread when I have a little more time. I'm sure that I'll have at least a few comments and questions. ;D

Now to you and your " soft" racism, yes that is exactly what it is you little scared *****! You assumed that I would come on this forum under cover and sing my praises, you are about as stupid as your avatar , you dumb big dummy. I have no problem calling you out! I will speak on your website and services , to the point of just how effective and worthless they are! Yes, if someone wanted to buy a hundred books I would DEFINITELY speak to them before addressing your dumb ass, please believe.
Well, I have been gone for a while and I'm glad that I decided to go back and read this thread, it looks like the self proclaimed guru wants to open a can of worms. Well, guess what? I'm the bird that was waiting by the can to see if you would stick your head out. Now, I'm going to chew you up and spit you out. If you act like an ass, don't get insulted if people ride you.
I find it amusing that someone comes on this forum singing your praises and when I jokingly call this person out as being you in disguise, you magically appear in the next few posts. You are from Birmingham and you did use the screen name Alabama Dude.
Way to go Mr. Incognito. Just to let you know, you are about as welcome here as a rattlesnake at a square dance.
I believe that someone brought up the question as to whether this is the real Glendon Cameron or whether it is someone impersonation him. It is my opinion that based upon the poor grammar, spelling, punctuation and certifiable rants that this is the real deal. I find it hilarious that you're always wearing college shirts and hats. Is that your subconscious way of camouflaging the problem?
As to your comments about soft racism: Where did this come from? I have no tolerance for racism but I do hate idiots. If you're referring to my comments about Ebonics, this shows how ignorant you are. There are people of all races that speak in Ebonics. Since 1996, Ebonics has primarily been used to refer to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), a dialect distinctively different from Standard American English. You do use vernacular English like "playa", "ghetto", "gangsta", correct? How is this soft racism? Pardon me if I offended you, what I should have said is that you have a failure to grasp the basics of English.
As to your insults toward me: (stupid as my avatar, big dummy, little scared******, & dumb ass)
It sounds like you have an inferiority complex - and it's fully justified.
As to your rants and raves and endless babbling on YouTube: Some people don't hesitate to speak their minds because they have nothing to lose. I'm just so tired of seeing you spread ignorance to the masses. You videos are so ridiculous that I can't even be sure that what you tell people are lies. Your videos are 10 minutes of mindless chatter and 15 seconds of useful information. I guess you feel like if you keep talking you will eventually say something intelligent.
Here is the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life, a quote from Mr. GC, (spelling has not been altered).
See reference article: http://www.timbooktu.com/cameron/cameron.htm
"Unable to stop I arrogantly assume I am a writer. So I thinkth, therefore I am." Thinkth huh? Oh Socrates, grace us more with your wisdom and literary genius. I guess you arrogantly assumed that SpellCheck wasn't necessary. You, a writer, laughable. A master of orthography, definitely not. It is obvious why you are self published.
My biggest problem with you is that you have been out of the game for several years and you are so out of touch with reality. You have no idea what its like out there these days for the regular people that are in the trenches day after day. My advise to you: be a man, tell the newcomers like it is and quit sugar coating the storage auction business. Tell them that there are 75-100 people at most auctions and that units are selling 2-3 times what they're worth. Yeah, you might sell fewer books but people might actually respect you for doing so. Not likely, but possible. You probably didn't know that because you haven't been in the game for years. Truth is, the real people in this business think you are a joke. As a matter of fact, you wouldn't make it one day if you showed your face at auctions in Atlanta. If you think it isn't true, then I challenge you to go to some auctions and see if you're principles are still effective in today's environment. Record it and upload it to YouTube. If you are as good as you say you are, then let's see if you still have what it takes to be successful in this business.
Don't thank me for insulting you. It was my pleasure. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time. :-*

Well, this should be interesting. TC, I am a cat owner and I loved the old avatar.

Yeah, me too but that party rock robot is just off the chain.

My Experience with him? Ripped Off!
After puchasing most of his products and really appreciating the information for what it is last spring I received an email solicitation from Patrick with the same last name (thought it was his brother or something unitl I learned later it's just one of his alias...middle name?) Telling me about a "Bridge Fee" that I could get in early on. It was supposed to be a website with all of his best information that I would have lifetime access to & that I would really regret it later if I didn't sign up.
It was only $42 dollars so I did. Initially the website had a couple of entries and he said that he was having problems with it. As the weeks and months went by I started asking about the status and was ignored, then on a pod cast he was having I posted the question, he just laughed and said I wasn't listening or watching his youtube videos or I would know what was up with it. I continued to inquire. Finally just before Christmas of last year he responded to an message of mine and said "today I've decided not to do that...(meaning the website)" Asked me to send him a paypal request and he would refund my money, which I did. He ignored it even after repeated reminders.
Finally as a subscriber to his youtube channel, I posted my concerns publicly, boy did he get pissed! He promptly removed the message, removed me as a subscriber, sent me an email "claiming" to have sent my money back and accused me of being a stalker. I responded and said no problem please show me evidence of said refund and I'll apologize publicly...no response from him. So I took to youtube posting my concerns there, he's now flagging my video's for privacy violations. He posts his full name all over youtube advertising his products and is not complaining that I'm lying but that I said his full name...Speaks volumes right?
I will continue to pursue the return of my money and hopefully warn off any who would trust this guy.
-

Sorry you had so much trouble. I could tell from watching 5 minutes of one of his videos that I didn't want anything to do with him, let alone send him money.
As far as getting your money back, good luck with that. Once a payment has gone through PayPal and other places it is sometimes living **ll getting it back. I know, I've been there too but with PayPal/eBay. Throw in your local bank for good measure and it can be a bureaucratic nightmare. One says something can be done, the other says no it can't and guess who is in the middle.

Guys,
This dude is crazy. He is on his YouTube channel right now flipping OUT! He created a video about one of his commenters and called her all kinds of names in his video. When she responded, he completely went crazy. Some huge argument about whether or not college is worth it. We all know it is, but this guy is hell bent on it being a wast of time and will go postal if you say otherwise. He's even going ham on legit subscribers of his channel who are telling him to knock it off. I have watched a few of his videos in the past and even left a comment on this video he is going crazy on and told him it wasn't that serious. He argued back, then left a comment on one of my YouTube videos telling me how great my videos are. WTF! I then did a google search on him and found this forum, along with a MUGSHOT!
The name of his video is "Why People Go To College? | Not To Earn Money? For the sake of Learning ? |Social Experiment 001"
Stay away from this dude.
-
Stay away from this dude.
We do!

He's pretty much a laughing stock in the industry. He preys upon newbies for cash. I was actually thinking of writing an e-book on the subject.
-

Lol, that sure is good to know. My goodness. I just finished reading this entire thread and I am just shaking my head. His comments/responses on here were very hard to read and disturbing.
He's pretty much a laughing stock in the industry. He preys upon newbies for cash. I was actually thinking of writing an e-book on the subject.
I think you should write that book. And I will happily buy it. Please save the innocent.

If you act like an ass, don't get insulted if people ride you.
Right, that is how I feel. I feel he was totally out of line for making 7 minute video about someone who said college was a good investment. She got in his you-know-what really good by telling him this:
"You have not been to college, therefore you know nothing about it. Yet you continue to tell others they should not go simply because you did not go. It is not good to tell people not to do something just because you yourself did not succeed at it."
When he told her she must be wealthy with some kind of inheritance if she thinks college is a good investment to waste time and money on and go into debt for. She let him know this:
"I have money because I am an entrepreneur who has been a hustler my whole life. I come form a middle class family without an inheritance. I went to college to develop my love of the performing arts. I got another degree in business to place in my toolbox of other hustling tools because that's what a real hustler does. A real hustler gets ALL the tools. They don't discard tools because they think they "don't work." You dont know when you will need a hammer but you keep one in your toolbox anyway."
That's when he got mad since he is always talking about how great of a hustler he is and how you need to get as much knowledge as possible to be successful, but yet he is telling people that unless you are becoming a doctor college knowledge/information is a waste. When he told her to prove she was this successful, she told him:
"I don't need to make a video to prove anything, nor do I need to make a video to make money. That's your expertise. I use my business to make money."
He probed her some more for proof and she told him:
"Like I said, you stick to making YouTube videos for a living, and I will stick to running a real business for a living."
That's when he blocked her and tried to delete her comments, but they are still up there. But she told him good. He couldn't handle that. But here is the real funny part. A random commenter posted this when Glendon said her comments were out of wack with real life:
" "her viewpoints are highly out of wack with real life"
I remember this Chipperme person from a few weeks ago on your video titled "Garage Sale Arbitrage Is It Ethical? Yes or No?"
You got mad when people spammed his comments and said not to because "He is telling the truth!" But now you are calling this person "a little b*itch" and making a video about them? It sounds like you only like people when they agree with you and hate them when they disagree with you. That's not a good look."
Glendon marked that as spam, but it's still up there. :D
I find it amusing that someone comes on this forum singing your praises and when I jokingly call this person out as being you in disguise, you magically appear in the next few posts. You are from Birmingham and you did use the screen name Alabama Dude.
Way to go Mr. Incognito.
Lol. Now I see why he was accusing the commenter of creating fake accounts to "troll" his channel. He was just projecting onto her his very own behavior.
I believe that someone brought up the question as to whether this is the real Glendon Cameron or whether it is someone impersonation him. It is my opinion that based upon the poor grammar, spelling, punctuation and certifiable rants that this is the real deal.
:D
I find it hilarious that you're always wearing college shirts and hats.
I noticed that too. Lol! Meanwhile, he hates college and anything that has to do with college. Yet, he is a 45 year old man wearing college T-shirts and hats with graffiti fonts on his channel advertising a "University" while telling everyone to stay out of a University. He wants to be a college student so bad it's pathetic. Bless his heart.
As to your insults toward me: (stupid as my avatar, big dummy, little scared******, & dumb ass)
It sounds like you have an inferiority complex - and it's fully justified.
Agreed. And the vocabulary of a 14 year old.
Thinkth huh?
:D :D :D
Omg I just checked out that website and LMAO. What about his section on "Courting and Romance -- A Brotha's View"?
Please, make it stop. After calling this woman the b-word numerous times in his video and saying it was "freedom of speech" when she told him she did not appreciate such name calling, is it any wonder this man is divorced without any prospects of getting another relationship?
Boy has this been an interesting day. Thanks for the laughs guys!
