I love having real online units to discuss here on the forum.  We can see into our fellow forum members minds a little.  My question is why do you buy a certain unit.  We all know price makes a huge difference but what are the nuisances you look for?

I love sealed commercial boxes.  Stuff that is NIB gets my juices flowing.  I also like tons of industrial machines.  People hate to deal with that stuff but I have a good source that will pick up scrap and give me a fair price.  And of course I love neatly stacked high end bins.  The ones with the snap on handles.

I have had some good success but here is a story of the usual crap in a storage unit.
When the door opened I saw stacks of boxes of new items.  The writing on the was Colours - Cinnamon or Colour Copper
I took a chance and got the 10x20 for $300.  I could also see a couple of boxes of elliptical machines and a Curio. 
Well the stuff in the boxes was hair dye shampoo from a salon that is now out of business.  The elliptical machines and curio says "returned"
Luckily there was a nice vanity and wooden dresser. 
But also there was an ancient exercise bike that is at least as old as me.  A typewriter and tons of junk.  This woman was a hoarder and must of bought stuff at auctions etc.
Going to be a lot of work.

I have found a locker with a couple cases of a trade dvd.  The cases are nice and I might be able to sell them in bulk.  I was wondering if anyone knows if DVDs can be scraped?

I am back from a short hiatus overseas for a job.  Today I bought the oddest unit ever for $200.  Actually it was 2 units.

Hopefully you guys can see it.  I will go back tomorrow to move some things so that we can see the equipment better and will post more pics.  I know I can make some decent money just from the scrap.  The is a huge piece of copper as well as tons of aluminum. 

I haven't recently hired a really hardworking kid to help me with the moving and cleaning out of units.  I even offer him a 20% commission on items he sells via Facebook groups that he completes.  He has done well and actually probably even made more money than me on a couple of units which works out fine for me because all I do is supply money and process some of the stuff.

Anyway we were both looking at a unit online today.  I asked for what he thought I should buy the unit for and he said, "Lowball them"  What?! How do I do that?  I don't think he completely gets how this works 

I found some nice upholstery fabric in a locker and have tried a couple of upholstery shops and no luck.  Do you guys know where else I might unload it. 

It was 1983 and my parents were immigrants and never truly understood what a young boy wanted for Christmas.  They loved me and worked very hard but it was a very different culture.  Christmas morning I opened this present and I have never felt more excited about a present.

Does anyone us their own created Facebook page to sell only their stuff?  I met a nice couple at auctions and they have built up a nice following via their facebook page

I have one as well but not nearly as successful.  I am going to spend $50 on Facebook ads and see if that gets me anywhere starting Monday.  Mine is
