Hello, new gal from NC here. I started out at auction houses and have recently been dabbling into storage auctions. I am hoping to some day make some profit on it, my health recently took a dump and I am blessed to have a spouse who supports me and appreciates that I want to try selling at flea markets. So far I have only been a looky-lucy at storage auctions, but I have no problem paying that $100 deposit that some require. I have not encountered any disrespect from (who I assume to be) regulars, maybe the first time when I pulled up in a convertible and got a few snickers...but don't worry, I know a 10x10 worth of stuff won't fit in there  ;)
I hope to find support here and get some questions answered, or maybe just lurk for a while since I'm not sure when I'll be able to actually purchase my first locker. Any advice I can get from regulars so I'm not looked at as "THAT newbie" is appreciated, I try to stay out of the way and have even loaned my huge mag lite to someone at one auction. I look forward to all the helpful advice I will get from here, have a good morning everyone.

keep a good auction face and don't show weakness XD lol. I always just talk about the units and how much i might think they should go for or what they might go far depending on the size of the crowd and new people.
