Best lkr ive seen thus far

Went to an auction this morning. It was a sealed bid. The unit doors were already opened when I got there. Started looking at then then I get to this golden unit. There was about an inch of dust covering everything. Nothing had been moved or touched in 12 years since the facility owner bought the place. There was some nice looking furniture, a metal box buried of some sort, boxs piled high in one corner a rebel flag folded. I bid 195.50 but high bid was 365. I was so curious as to what was in those boxs. I bet there was some valuable items.

Anyone else see or get lkrs like this? If so please share stories.

Just curious as to what the size of the locker was.  Got my sealed bids on Friday and am rather curious.

This lkr was a 10/20. Im tellin ya acman lkrs here in the thumb area are cheaper than your area by a long shot.

Oh, I bet, but the selling format here is also vastly different from the thumb.  Down here craigslist buyers are abundant(for the right item) and resale shops(and pawn shops.....yuck) are everywhere and are quick ways to unload certain items.

I know what the thumb area is going through(like 40% unemployment rate) and driving down to the metro area could fetch you more money up front but you might lose it on gas prices.

Ive posted in detroit metro and said willing to meet half way and still got no takers on certain items maybe just the wrong items for the time? Idk. But I know I got a good list of collectors and buyers and a garage sale commission guy that will unload the items fast for me for a big profit. But I know later thus month genessee county and the whole thumb area is hopping with auctions which means lots of guy stuff and a few household units.

Just curious as to how you have made your contacts. Was it talking with life long friends or just talking with others at auction?  I will be going around to different fleas to get business cards, but is this enough?

I got my contacts from talking to others and telling them what I do plus I got a couple from other bidders. Find vendors at the flea markets that look like they have a specialty they will be your best bet to unload certain items. Some other bidders will be interested in furniture or the bigger items and will pay you decently for them. Just ask around. Sometimes small talk and just mentioning things will get you a buyer for certain items or can lead you to a buyer. Put it this way in just a few days I went from having no contacts to having about 10. Also craigslist buyers. Sometimes they deal in certain things or are looking for hard to find items. Keep there numbers. Like I got a lady for a kids 4-wheeler. Also a guy that deals in tools and such. Just talk. Talk is cheap andvery informative. Also small towns talk to people there. Everyone knows each others business mostly and can guide you to certain people. Hope this helps
