I dont know why but I really liked this. It spoke to me.

Same to you and everyone else.

Dont get me wrong, I'm excited as heck about christmas, but its a dead zone for storage auctions 

I openly tell anyone who asks, and often invite them to come and the info of looking in the classifieds for sale dates. So far I have not seen a single recognizable face. 

I bought a locker today, my first since the computer monitors. Paid $55, first thing I did was take all the scrap metal out of it (old ass PC towers, old bikes, trashy baby stuff) and took it to the yard. Made $50 so I'm pretty much in the clear already...went back and hand picked a few things, found a 30 pc brand new-in box china set. I'm pretty excited about it but have had a hard time finding any info on it...I will prolly end up making a thread in the 'whats it worth?'. Got a huge Scotty Pippin poster, and a few Bahamas dollars.

Went to an auction out in the country today, 4 units, 4 people showed including myself, all regs. When I walked in the office had 5 or 6 of those sweepstakes slot machines, thought that was pretty odd. As soon as the others get there, they start to tell me about the owner/auctioneer. Last time he had one, he bought all the units himself.

He turns out to be an old man in a power wheelchair, and sure enough he buys all the units again. It got to the point where during the last couple, we would just ask him what he was going to take/start it at. Was very shady indeed, and all the others talked about when it ended was how he could 'buy' it for 700, but it is his money either way.

A couple of the units were nice, some heavy wood cutting equipment. But he wouldnt start for less than 700 on either. The whole thing has got me searching google for the proccess of reporting this to someone.

I like auction scene, its more 'general' and not locking it down to nubs at the auction.

Today saw cloudy skys, cold wind, cold temps, and back to a decent size crowd.  Instead of the 100 people we had saturday we only had maybe a dozen people.  Half of them were regulars.  This was a 2 facility auction, but could only hit the first facility before heading back to work.  Units were nothing great.

1st - $10 (me) - musical keyboard, box, small musical keyboard, original nintendo, few other odds/ends
2nd - $230 (regular) - small bedroom set (bed, dresser, night stand)
3rd - $5 (me) - empty backpack, 2 blankets, and a small dorm fridge.  If it don't work no big loss.
4th - $100 (regular) - a 10x10 with kids bed, lots of scattered cloths.  Guy opened with 100 but could of prob gotten it for $50
5th - no takers - was a chair, 2 baskets, and cloths, odd shoe, purse on the floor.  I may give them the $5 they want for the 2 baskets and just to see if anything was left behind.  Isn't much to really clean up - maybe a garbage bag full of cloths.

Trying to decide if want to skip the 2 auctions on wednesday to do a metal run or attend them.  Only a few units for sale so may not bother.  Next week is my big week.  3 facility caravan on the 5th and 7 facility caravan on the 8th.

Sounds like some good locker prices. I have one tomorrow way out in the country, 3 units. Hoping for a small crowd. I found it through a list service... the ones where you can see the 'general location' but dont get the address until you pay. It was so rural and unique it has me considering to pay. ($20 a month)
