If I showed up to one and see camera crews, I'm leaving. 

First, I have zero desire to be on TV
Second, I already anticipate lockers going for too much
Third, I don't want to stand around for three hours while they 'get it right'

Count me out..

$65.00?  You got a winner there. I know where I would try to sell that many pictures.  I would find a hotel/ days inn/ motel 6 or any other place being constructed nearby and sell to them.  Find the manager of the soon to be hotel/ motel and tell them you got some really nice pictures for the rooms. 

Sell them in one huge lot. 

I try to stay away from stuff like this. 

The first thing I noticed was the old computer monitor lying face down in the pile of junk. The second thing I noticed was the hampers with more 'dump' in them.  Crushed boxes. Trash bags. Loose junk.

This looks like someone moved, and valued their junk.  It literally looks like they just threw it into the locker.  That tells me there probably isn't much of any value.  The old monitor- why save that?  With as cheap as computers are now days, when I see old PC equipment just tossed into a locker, that speaks alot about the former owners financial state.

325 is too much.  IF I had to bid on this, I would keep it under 100, 150 absolute top.

I would walk away. Thats just me.  I bought one like this, I learned my lesson. Luckily I only paid 150 for it, and the only reason I bought it was the dresser and chest freezer.  I figured I would make money on the other junk but most ended up in the dump and I barely broke even.

What does everyone here do with there collections they find in storage?  I found a collection of 1/6 scale military dolls and gear.  I only found three dolls (action figures) but I have a huge lot of the gear. 

It really threw me off that people collect this stuff.  Who would've thought?

I've put the pictures and this partial topic under what is it worth section but was wondering if it would be worth splitting all this stuff up or selling it as one massive lot?

Im leaning towards one massive lot.  I took pictures this morning and that took me a while. There is alot.

What would you do with this stuff if you found it in a storage locker?

heres the post with pictures (slightly image heavy).

Thanks!

I bid on a storage locker and pulled out two large totes full of 1/6 scale military gear for dolls.  I have a few dolls as well (not all).

The dolls vary in prices on ebay and I think I got a few winners.  The dolls will sell. The question I have is regarding all of this gear.  This stuff is exactly like the real thing, just scaled down.  The dolls will be listed on ebay ala carte but this gear, I don't know what to do with it. 

A. I can sell this stuff ala carte/ batches.  EG. 3 or 4 tactical plate carriers of different styles.  Line of thinking is someone that collects this stuff would pay a bit more for a lot of vests/ clothes/ gear.

B. Sell this stuff as one huge lot.  I have no idea what I would make but it would be alot easier to box this stuff up and ship it.

Some of this gear didn't come with the retail box, its aftermarket gear.  Some of the aftermarket "gear boxes" retails well over $100.00.  I have around 10 boxes of this stuff.  Miniature weapons, clothes, helmets, goggles/ sunglasses, grenades, boots, molle gear, assault packs.. you name it.  If its carried into battle, there is a mini version of it and I think I have it.

What would you do?  Ebay wholesale the whole lot or break it apart and sell batches here and there.

Im leaning towards wholealing the whole lot.  I don't want to get eaten alive with listing fees.

Ill post some pictures in a bit.
