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.

NIce to see people from Canada in here.
Hey i might help you out, as i lived in London,On for a while, and did a few auctions in London,On. Hamilton,On and a Chatham,On.

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.

Welcome to the forums!

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.

thank you mr andersen!
wow, thanks for being extremely helpful, I will be referencing your posts in the near future very often. :)
I appreciate the re-selling tips as well.
Do you still participate in any auctions in the area? (london+surrounding)

Canada is a great place, and one day in future i might move back there.
But my job took me to Memphis, and for now thats where i have to be.

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!

Yeah they did pretty good in Hockey this year.
I agree with you, London is a nice place, to be honest probobly the best place i have ever lived.
People are friendly, nice nature, and just a harmonic place to live.
When it comes to Storage auction, you can do really well if you base it out from London to Toronto area. I have to say that the lockers i got in Canada was better in general then what i have gotten here in Memphis. Prices are maybe a little hiher in London,On. But that does not matter that much when you can sell the stuff for a higher price.
Another thing about selling.
You could also take thing to the outdoor marked that runs in Grand Bend every summer, i know a friend of mine goes there, and he is doing really good up there.
Beside the places i have told you about, you will do better listing your products on Kijiji then Cragslist. Here in the USA Craigslist is better then kijiji. But in Canada it is the other way around.
