I have a shed full of halloween and christmas items that I do in fact save all year from various units. I have so many fake xmas trees I'm gonna look like a forest. Next month I will start bringing out halloween, and then right after halloween I will set out the xmas stuff.

Although I'm sure no one looks for units with holiday items, it is of course a natural and often happening. Where else would you store your decorations the other 11 months of the year but in a storage unit.

Went to an auction today and bought a unit for $200 bucks. 4 bidders, 3 units. Other two rooms went very cheap at $50 each. Mine was a packed 10 x 10 with two mini fridges up front, alot of stacked boxes on top of furniture, mannequin type stuff, spinning display baskets and a long shaped clothing rack. Alot of the boxes so far have been books, although some look pretty old. Odd mix of items.

I took a shoddy cell phone pic, I'll post later if its worth looking at.

I think the key would be if the people who bought it were made aware 'hey, I bought this unit, rummaged through it, and am now re-selling online'.

But what are the chances of that happening? Pretty good if Travis wants VSA.com to stick around for any length of time.

Pricing. Ive been to several yard sales where the people 'like' their stuff too much, and the asking price is comparable to retail. The best yard sales to go to are the ones where the people dont do it for a living, and have the intention of getting rid of it cheaply and quickly.

Many of us have found new Barbies in boxes and have done well with them at the flea market or on eBay, but future locker buyers can expect to find a NEW type of Barbie doll in liened units...it will take a while, but they will be there.

Just curious about this statement. Most barbies I've found and looked up on ebay never sold or werent worth the trouble/shipping hassle for $20 bucks. I pop them off in my yardsale for $5-10 depending on the condition/theme. Is this defined as doing well?

An*l beads and *****s are just a part of this business. The last locker I bought, the lady was a huge collector of dolphins. She had everything from dolphin lamps, figurines, lighters, bathroom sets, pictures etc. They seemed to match her dolphin *****s perfectly. I was honestly shocked to find out they make *****s to model animals, but a dolphin of all things.

Are you that upset in a $25 dollar investment? Sounds like at $5 bucks a pop you have made double your money on 10 pairs of heels. In short, unless it is a big national chain facility who monitors themselves and wouldnt risk being caught up in a public scam, these facility owners can pretty much do whatever they want with the contents. There is no one policing the auctions themselves.

Well they did raise him as a child after all. The people in charge should be ashamed for displaying his items in a museum meant to showcase athletes as role models to someone who was wrapped up in a Colorado rape case. And yes even though he was never convicted, he still played enough of a role to get involved and be charged. Can you blame D-Howard for jumping ship to the Rockets? And for less money in this day and age? Come on.
