Is it finale or FINALLY!

So, what do you think. Will this be the final season of Storage Wars? Does anyone even still watch it?

Just came across ANOTHER (#8) RipoffReport.com complaint against Storage Battles. Here is what the complainant said:

First, in order to bid on these local "public lien auctions" .."you must belong to the private membership of storage battles,and own a credit card for these "public cash lien auctions".Online public auctions discriminates against a class of cash buyers (He must not know that OnlineStorageAuctions.com doesn't charge fees or require a credit card ) and in my opinion are breaking some local state laws and federal laws.These auctions are title public lien sales,open to all to buy a lien storage unit of contents.

In an entirely different complaint, a STORAGE FACILITY MANAGER said:

Storage battles also restrict cash buyers from attending the lien sale,they want you to join their site or you can't bid,and this is opening up a new can of legal worms for the defaulted tenants of these units,excluding a class of "CASH" BUYERS that would pay more or less for a unit,but are excluded from the auctions unless fee's are paid to storage battles.

So what do you think? Do these complaints have merit? Do Storage Battles' practices discriminate against a certain class or violate lien laws in some states?

What happens if a buyer requests a return, but when you receive the package it's empty or it never arrives at all? Is it now the buyer's responsibility to file an insurance claim? How does eBay/PayPal handle a situation like this?

As most of you know, OnlineStorageAuctions.com doesn't charge a fee to buy or sell storage units on the site. That being said, we obviously don't have the same budget as some of our competitors for marketing our service to storage operators. We are actively seeking investors, but until that point, we need YOUR help getting the word out.

Over the years, I've learned that the best form of advertising is word of mouth, so I would like to ask each of you to speak to your local facility managers about OSA, especially those companies who currently use one of our competitors.

Tell them you're tired of paying a 10-15% buyer's premium.

Also, let them know that they can sell their storage units on our site at no cost.

OSA is the most visited storage auction site on the web and we have the user base to consistently deliver optimal results.

Since the beginning, I've wanted to keep this site free for everyone, but I need your help. You guys & gals are out there in the field everyday and these facility managers know and trust you. Your recommendation goes a long way and can do wonders for the future of OSA. If this site has helped you in any way, I'd greatly appreciate your help now. 

Auctioneers - What concerns you the most when having a storage auction? How do you prepare? What steps do you take to ensure the auction is complying with state lien laws?

Just came across an email from StorageAuctionSpy.com, which I believe is a sister company of Storage Unit Auction List. The email claims "StorageAuctionSpy.com, is the only service that provides exclusive pictures of every upcoming storage auction, and the contents inside each unit."

BS meter going off yet? ... it get's better.

The website claims:

Each month, there are 10,000+ storage auctions and over 50,000 individual units up for auction, wouldn't it be nice to know what the units look like, before you go?

HOW IT WORKS:

1. You submit the auction you'd like to get photos for

2. A Spy Agent receives the pictures using secret methods    You can't make this stuff up folks.

3. Delivers the pictures to you via email, exclusively. This means you will be the only one to obtain access to the pictures. This gives you an advantage above every other attendee. As we say... "Know before you go"

So, where do I begin? First of all, there is no way this service could have photos of every storage unit up for auction throughout the United States. Quite frankly, I'd be amazed if they had images of more than 10% of the units that go to auction each month. Second, Storage Unit Auction List is an aggregator which pulls data, including images, from other public sources. The images on the public websites they scrape have been viewed thousands of times, so I don't see how they can make a claim like "This means you will be the only one to obtain access to the pictures. This gives you an advantage above every other attendee.

I have a feeling that if you sign up for this service, you might feel like the spy shagged you.
