Post by: MovieMan on February 22, 2013, 08:02:53 AM: If you HAVE bought an online locker, let us know what the experience was like.

If you HAVEN'T bought an online locker, let us know WHY NOT.

Post by: Travis on February 23, 2013, 08:02:01 AM: Bought 2 units online in the last month. I got them both dirt cheap but most of the units I bid on sold for double what they would have at a live auction. I even got beat out by $5 on an awesome unit. :-[

Unit 1: Like new leather recliner, like new dresser & mirror from Ashley, Stainless steel bed & mattress from IKEA, metal and glass flat screen TV stand, metal and glass end tables and a coffee table. Won unit for $165 including tax.

Unit 2: King sleigh bed (original cost: around 2 grand), 2 marble top night stands (original cost: around a grand for the pair), sofa (broken & donated), chase lounge, love seat, 2 projection TV's (sold one, donated other), 35" tube TV (donated), Bose sub-woofers. Total cost $250

Both of these units had large objects blocking the stuff in the back. I gambled and got lucky.
