Facebook is an excellent resource for gaining some insight to a person whose unit is on the chopping block. I would say in my experience I can locate about 40% of all people I search. With the information you can gain from a person's profile, you can use this insight into your bidding. Obviously, there are other important factors; how the unit looks, what materials and objects can you see, etc. But information is power, and every little bit helps. A couple of experiences I have had doing using this resource, provided great results. For example, I searched this one lady on FBook and found out she owned a small fitness company. She also wore some serious designer clothing from what her pics conveyed. So I get to the auction with this info, unit comes up, a 5 X10, and there was a whole bunch of boxes. The contents behind the boxes were blocked from view, but I sensed there was more. I got it for about 175, kinda high, but I took an educated guess. Sure enough, fitness equipment in the back of the unit. Free weights, dumbbells, etc. Made all my money back on those items alone. And just like I saw in her profile, girl had some serious clothing and accessories. I let my wife dig through that. Overall, it wasn't a killer unit, but it was very profitable. No way in hell I would have bid on this unit by appearance alone. Although, I did, at times, feel like a creep scoping these individuals out. It's a business though, they didn't pay their rent, **** happens.
