General Storage Auction Talk / Did some research?
« on: September 02, 2012, 06:49:42 PM »
I was watching Storage Hunters (yeah I know how fake the shows are).  But one couple keeps saying that they "did research" on the bin or the people who owned the bin.  How the heck would they know anything?

There was one storage place near me that advertised the peoples names when they said they were going to auction their stuff off, but that was the only time I saw names.

Would the storage places tell you the peoples names / background?

Just curious.

Hello all.

I am new to this.  Just wanted something exciting to do.  I will probably keep all of the good stuff I can use (or want to use), and sell the rest.  I have been to a few auctions, but have not found one locker that I couldn't resist.

Today, I noticed something strange.  When they opened the locker, most of us got into some sort of line to view the contents before the auction started.  The auctioneer ALWAYS waited till everyone had a chance to look.  Every time, some people would basically push their way to the "front of the line" and take their sweet time looking.  With the un-structured line, I would understand that every now and then, but every time?

Oh well.  No big deal.

I almost bought a boat today... A 1980 inboard outboard motor boat.  It ended up going for $125, and they had the title to both the boat and trailer as well as the keys to the boat.  The only reason I didn't bid is because my dear wife (before even seeing the boat) said that I could NOT buy the boat.  :'(  At least I kept her happy, and I probably saved myself a headache.  ;D

Next weekend, we are going to have a multi-family yard sale here, and I will look for another auction for the week after.  Wish us luck
