hey everyone, looking for a fun hobby while also looking for a job. I have a nice chunk of start up money and i won't lie, the shows got me interested. While I look for a legit full time job, I would like to try this entertaining gig. I also posted a couple of questions in the noobie thread.

Peace :)

Welcome to the forum !  I also saw your noobie question about border crossing, duty, etc. Can't help you there and doubt any of the others here can either, but they might surprise me.

I'm down in Sarnia and those are definitely within range.

I have access to the London Free Press and have some friends in hamilton and chatham, would they have information about auctions in the papers? How did you go about it, mr andersen.

Start with this link and then do some exploring of this area on your own.

When i lived in London,On i went to the places and asked them. I also called around.
In London you have a big facillity located on Dundas street. Almost on the corner of Dundas and Highbury. Contact them first. They have a pretty good system running. Their phone number is 519 455 7322 and the name is PRICE SELF STORAGE.

In Chatham they are more lose, not a system they go by, but there is one close to Queen street i think that has auctions on regular basis.

In Toronto you have to call around, i mean GTA is almost 5.9 million people and tons of storage places. i just went to a few in Markham area and in Milton area.  But also Kitchener can be a good place.

I used to sell some of the stuff i got from the units at the weekend marked called "Gibraltar" also located on Dundas. On the corner of Dundas and 3rd street. I also tried the farmers market that is called Trials End further out past the airport.

All of these are good locations in London,On. The only one that does not have many auctions is the one on Wonderland rd (canstor). As that is a area with alot of money people, they pay their bills most of the time.

Here is the website to the one i mention above. They also have one location in Windsor,On.

London is definitely one of the nicer cities in Ontario, has the feel of Toronto but not even close to as big.

How about Norway at the Worlds this year, best finish since 1962!
