Well i miss London,On a lot. It is a great place and i have a lot of friends up there.
Canada is a great place, and one day in future i might move back there.

But my job took me to Memphis, and for now thats where i have to be.

London is definitely one of the nicer cities in Ontario, has the feel of Toronto but not even close to as big.

How about Norway at the Worlds this year, best finish since 1962!

*way behind on this thread while reading another thread, sorry. lol)

I usually don't take wikipedia seriously but near the bottom of this wiki article, it says he was an accomplished animal handler, and him appearing on the show you saw is listed on the IMDb website.

links to both

http://collectors.wikia.com/wiki/Clinton_Jones (near the bottom)

It looks like he appeared in 4 episodes on 2 different shows.

I don't think Ton Jones would really qualify to be an actor, he is kind of boring imo.
Alan Haff gets pretty excited sometimes though lol.

I had someone contact me a while back through my blog or something asking questions about auctions, he was also from Canada.

He and I were emailling back and forth for a while I was trying to help him out in answering questions as much as I could.

He wound up getting in touch with someone and though I don't remember exactly what he told me it was pretty interesting.

In the US the rules about how auctions are run, how soon a facilty can auction stuff, etc is pretty clear cut. I remember him copying and pasting something in an email to me with the actual laws and a lawyers take on them.

It was pretty interseting. From what he had told me essentially Canada doesn't really have any clear laws on abandoned storage units or liens involving them so it's kind of a patchwork of related laws people try to use. Basically sounded like people and by people I mean various facilities and companies were mixing and matching abandoned property laws with lien laws involving real estate and things like that. Sounded pretty complicated and unorganized and unclear.

Like I said this is just third hand knowledge a guy emailed me but found it intersting and he seemed to have done som eresearch on the matter.

Thanks for the info, I saw on CSSA (Canadian self storage association) website that they were working on "liens" or something. The website itself was very uninformative about any auction info, but for laws and regulations it might be interesting to some.  (cssa.ca)

I'm down in Sarnia and those are definitely within range.

I have access to the London Free Press and have some friends in hamilton and chatham, would they have information about auctions in the papers? How did you go about it, mr andersen.

It works out to around $5.30 a gallon here in southwest ontario, but I know it's a lot cheaper across the border in michigan.

Hey there, I have been browsing online for answers to my questions about storage unit auctions in Ontario. I have always been directed to the Canadian Self Storage Association website which is not very helpful.

I was told by my step father and a couple of his buddies that the rules were different in the U.S for storage unit laws then they are for Canadian storage unit laws, but they didn't have any concrete information about the differences.

Regardless, I have never been to a storage unit auction before but I would really like to check it out, if I am unable to find storage auctions in my area (southwest ontario), I am willing to cross the border into Michigan where I know they have auctions and I know the rules and how everything works.

If I did auction for something and won in the states, does anybody know about the hassle of bringing a truckload of random stuff back over the border? Would I have to pay duty?
In the end I might end up renting and storing my items in the states and ship out of the states because it is cheaper that way too.
