Sure, we all want to find gold bars, vintage collectibles, but what DO we (or you) find in storage auction lockers on a regular basis?

I'll start:

Mattresses (mostly bad, some good)

•   In January of 2011 a member named Mr. Andersen said this :

So is it like they say, that there are more good stuff in CA???
Here in memphis where i am, it can be either hit or miss, and when you miss you miss BADLY, lol and when you find a good one it is never like you see on tv from CA. The best i find is new stuff like, car parts, jewelry, and furniture. Sometimes odd collectibles.
But i have never seen guns, pinball machines, jukeboxes, or any of the good stuff on tv. lol


How about it California members….is it true that crap in California is better than crap everywhere else ? 

Anyone who has browsed the internet or received unwanted email might be interested in reading this article from the New York Times....America's most respected newspaper...well, at least in some states.

Why would a company give up a product that made it 2 BILLION dollars a year ?

If CAREMARK is part of your name it might be a good decision in the long run.

I got this from an email I was sent by Storage Auction Experts here in California.

One of the auctioneers for them made it on TV but for another reason; here's the story.

Craig on National TV


Many of you are familiar with Storage Auction Experts auctioneer Craig Plante. Some of you may not know he worked 27 years for the City of Modesto as a Police Officer and retired as a Sergeant. Just before he retired, he cracked a 9 year old "Cold Case Murder" and helped the victim's family have some closure.
 
In November, the TV Show "On the Case with Paula Zahn" contacted Craig to talk to him about this case. The National TV Network, Discovery ID, thought it was a good case to base a TV segment on, so they flew him back to New York to their studio for an interview. The show also contacted Modesto Police for background pertaining to this homicide.
 
A week from Sunday, on February 9th the episode Craig is featured on will air on Discovery ID. The name of the episode is "Cry On My Shoulder". In the Modesto area this show is on at 10:00 pm but different areas and different cable providers might have a different time.
 
We are happy to have such an outstanding professional such as Craig Plante to be part of the team with Storage Auction Experts. Very few people can say they solved "A Cold Case".

Here's a link to some online (5 I think) auctions in Sacramento, CA.  They end at 6 pm 2 3 14 Pacific time.

When I used to go to this chain they were all bad lockers and the chain had a bad rep. Don't know what their rep is now.

Photos taken from the door just like a live auction.  Good luck buyers !

Going to be busy on Feb 1, 2014 so am getting a jump start on this thread.

I have to say the auction scene isn't as exciting or as rewarding as it was in the past, but it's still interesting to hear the good and the bad stories even if most of them come from only a handful of forum members.

So....get going FEBRUARY.

OK, this is ridiculous....Internet Explorer problems with eBay....

For the last two days (January 29, 2014) IE won't show results of pushing the completed listings button after having done a search for a currently listed item.

We all know that the COMPLETEDS is what is important to us as sellers so we can more accurately price our items.

So...... I switched over to FIREFOX and no problems. Works as it should.

Why in the world a big outfit like Microsoft can't get things working right ... or leave well enough alone when things are working is beyond my understanding.
