oh, I forgot to answer the question, lol. Anyway the next auction I went to I did not bid on, again stuff was going fairly cheap, but saw nothing that interested me.2 lockers and a car up for bid. First locker was very bare, nothing really in there but a mattress and dresser, which was not in good shape. Second locker was from what it looked like nothing but a Teachers place to store her school and art supplies for elementary students. Then the car. An 86' Jeep. Could see it had Xmas decorations in the back, looked like it would make more money selling out as parts then it would be for selling as is or trying to fix up to sell.
Next auction I went too, mind you that this is stretched out for a week and a half. It was part of a caravan. First two locations I did not see anything I wanted to bid on, plus prices were getting outrageous. I dropped out of the caravan to go take care of some personal stuff. Joined back with them only missing one location, which I kind of wished I went, since there was a locker that the owners could not get rid of, no body would take it, It was completely packed 10x10. I am guessing it looked really trashed. However since nobody took it, the owner decided to clean it out themselves (when I say owner I am talking about the staff at the facility, not the tenant) while going through it, they came across an antique violin. So even if I had gone, and even took it for $1 or $5 it would of made my day.
Anyway back to the story. So I missed that location, but was at the next location. 3 lockers up. First locker was full of old, and I mean old appliances, and several boxes of depends. I passed on that one. Next locker full of furniture, golf clubs, bags of clothes, several totes, and a compressor still in box. I bidded on that one, got it for $450. Next locker came up, I bidded on it, but I lost out on it.
So now I have this locker, my first locker I bought. There was alot, and I mean alot of personal stuff in there, this guy had half of his house in there, and part of his business. So you can imagine how much personal stuff was there. Have not gotten another unit with this much personal stuff. The boxed compressor, well, lets just say I saw the box wrong, it looked like it was never opened, but it was, it was laying down on the side that had been opened, and was filled with documents for this guys business. The first bits of furniture I see is not worth as much as I thought it did from looking in. So I am already thinking, great, this locker is a loser. But digging more and more into it. I got more and more excited. This guy liked to collect things. Sports memorobilia, alot of it signed. To bad some of it was ruined, one ball I knew for a fact was forged, and none of it had a COA. Yall have seen me talk about this stuff.
All in all, everything from my first locker was sold or donated. I did make a profit, I made all my money back in 2 weeks, slowly made a profit from it for a long while after it. Total for everything sold and gone out of my inventory was a little over $625. I learned alot from this first unit, and I will never forget it. Oh this is also the locker that I got my other locks from
