New to Storage Auctions? / Unit full of bikinis
« on: March 02, 2015, 10:52:56 PM »
Ok, I'm not even trying to be funny here.  This unit has a few nice pieces of small furniture, a crock pot, college text books, and a few boxes FULL of bikinis.  And hooters t-shirts and shorts.  I was going to toss the bikinis, because I would never want to buy a used one, but I looked on Ebay, and there are lots out there, with bids on them.  Anyone have any luck with this type of thing?
While we're on the subject, all three of my latest units had dressers and boxes full of lingerie.  I'm assuming if people will buy used bikinis, they'll buy used lingerie?  I haven't checked ebay for that.  That's my next look up

So my first unit was great, could more than triple my money if I only sold the furniture, and there was also a lot of "smaller" things that I could sell for a lot more...home décor, clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc. 
Problem is that I have been warned by the storage facility manager not to sell it locally, as the owner "ran with a rough crowd" and they are no longer allowed on their property. Apparently, a few days after the auction, the locker owner confronted the manager, and the next day sent her boyfriend to do the same. They won't even contact them for their personal belongings, which I have an entire PALLET full of!
When I tried to sell the items on FB groups, Craigslist, etc, one of the owner's family members or friends will respond trying to purchase the items. 
My husband has concerns sending me to a "job" where I HAVE to be armed to be safe. 
My question is, how frequently are you confronted by the locker owners?  How many times have you run into "unsafe" situations? I mean, what are the chances that my first unit would be like this?  I purchased two others, and haven't had a problem.
