« on: March 31, 2015, 08:54:35 PM »
Just wondering when you guys search for auctions? Are you the type that looks for auctions on Sunday, then plans out your entire week? Or are you the type that looks for the following day's auction the the night before? Or do you have a different method?

Storage Auctions "In The News" / Woman makes extra effort to return Navy Seal's ashes
« on: March 24, 2015, 09:20:33 PM »
A rookie storage unit buyer and a reporter made an extra effort to return an urn with a former Navy Seal's ashes. I'm glad they were able to locate the family.

General Storage Auction Talk / How would 100K change your resale business?
« on: March 20, 2015, 11:59:50 AM »
If 100K fell from the sky, how would that change your resale business?
Would you buy a bigger/newer truck or trailer or possibly invest in a warehouse? Would you increase your inventory or would you use the money for other things?

« on: March 18, 2015, 11:45:54 PM »
Let's say a really good unit came along, but you couldn't afford it. Would you take out a loan or use your credit card to finance the purchase? Why or why not?

« on: March 17, 2015, 10:46:48 AM »
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Our current forum runs on SMF software, which isn't very compatible with some other necessary software/services we recently started using. That being said, we'll be migrating to a Xenforo software over the next few weeks.
Although we anticipate everything will go smoothly, we advise you to make sure your email address is up to date, just in case there are any issues when importing your account.

What's it Worth?? / Taxidermy
« on: March 07, 2015, 12:39:33 PM »
Does anyone have experience buying & selling taxidermy?
I knew that exotic taxidermy brought pretty good prices, but I didn't realize that an average deer mount was selling for around $175 on Craigslist.
