Yup, just got registered today, and looking to get into the business, if only for a side hobby. Even though i'm new to storage auctions, I have a little experience in the resale business, especially online, so I think I got a jumpstart on the ordinary 'noobie' ;)

haha I appreciate the effort.

One of the problems with my location is that I'm close enough to both Ohio and West Virginia that I could look up auctions in 3 states, with very few being close to me. It'll prob be awhile though until I venture to an out of state auction though

When I first started 7 years ago I went to auctions in multiple cities within 75 miles. Now I've cut that back to maybe 30 miles. I found quickly that JUNK is JUNK no matter where it's stored. Sure I miss a good one now and again, but think of the gas and TIME I've saved over the years by NOT going to every auction.
