$100 doesnt cut it. $1000 in cash and they can come get the stuff. otherwise they're looking at a $10k lawsuit. The stuff is yours.

i consider anything electronic 0 dollars unless i can specifically see that it is high grade( like an xbox 1 or ps4, great speakers etc). monitors even if working arent expensive anymore an electronics in general will be dated when pulling it froma unit. Thats just in my experience. I'm not saying dont bid on lockers with electronics, im justsaying dont bid too much :)

ebay

i say not smart. Mainly because I don't think they are big enough to start raping everyone yet. Ebay is, and they do. I don't think this industry(online auctions) is old enough yet to start charging exorbitant fees.

it only takes a couple hours to do a presort on a full 10x20 unit. 1 truck for keep 1 truck for trash.

oh they care. They get money for their units , so they get units, thus they get customers. same reason ebay can charge an arm and a leg.

your quickest sellers will be things people need every day. appliances tools etc. clothing is crap unless is in good condition and name brand. other than that look for anything odd or valuable looking. watches jewelry etc. it's pretty much common sense. After you start selling stuff you'll get more of a feel for it.

facebook or craigslist would be your best bet. If you REALLY want to ell them you need to get over your fear of craigslist. Carry a gun if it makes you fel better.

nah , i dont think you sound like an ass. I totally disagree with you lol, but that's part of life. Everyone has their own way of doing things, I'm guessing for the MOST part you avoid roaches and rats by just going for the really clean looking lockers, so that probably helps.

i primarily do live auctions because there are more of them, but i picked up these particular 6 online.

i just picked up 6 unit online. 2 for $720 and 4 for between $200-$400. $2300 total. The big different for me between online in live(in my area anyways) is that almost ALL online are obtainable at a fair price, whereas you don't get any super deals like I do sometimes in the heat of a live auction. I've snuck a bid in live and gotten units for a tenth of what they'd go for online sometimes.

good job and grats. I just bought 6 units friday for $2300, looks like about 40 hours of work but the payout will be nice. Already sold $500 in furniture $100 in ammo and $100 in household. $1600 to go and havent even listed the good stuff yet :)

unless  its a very slow moving operation i'd say all sentimental items are long gone by now.
