Went to four locations on the weekend and the last location was waiting for the owner to pay the lein which delayed the auction 1 hour which was great for me as I was 30 mins away due to being at another auction. Well the lady was'nt able to come up with the money to stop auction!so I was the luck bidder at 510.00. Then as we were going through the unit it was horriable! Banker boxes full of newspaper and bags and totes full of newspaper! Year of newspaper (2008)I thought the unit was staged. Then going through more stuff found cloths and other stuff really not worth the 510.00. Then the lady called back and offered 700 so we sold the unit back to her. She was 35yrs old and has had 2 stokes and was using as cane. She owed storage company 1,000 she saved300 and I made 190.00. She was also basically homeless. I did go through as much as I could and really saw nothing of valuve we had 30 mins before she got there after we said we would take the 700. Got lucky on that one. The unit was stacked nicley as well. I did ask why she had so much newspaper and she said her brother passed away and she keep what he had in is house.

Did you believe the stroke story?

I guess she knew which newspapers the cash and jewels were rolled up in. :)
