I think you get better at it with experience. Every person will have an expertise at appraising certain items and you should use that to your advantage. I would say that as the new kid on the block you might need to scout the people around you before you start bidding too otherwise you might end up getting bid up by the other more  veteran storage hunters that are at the auction with you. Good luck!

I really hate it when customers extort from sellers by using a negative feedback as a weapon. It is true that you would definitely feel less burdened when you do not care too much. The feedback system is there only as a guideline and should not take a toll on you until the extent of giving in to absurd customers’ requests. Buyers these days are smart enough to know which to believe and which to ignore in terms of analyzing a seller's reputation.

That was a fun show to watch! Storage wars was a pretty good one as well. Can't beat what we're really facing on a day to day basis, but a good show to kick back and laugh with when we recognize the things that are happening are legitimately happening in real life too haha!
