Oh no!  I collect way to much stuff i find in the units:
anything video game related
anything 80s or 90s nostagia related
board games
legos
comic books
star wars
transformers
knives and swords
military stuff
odd religious items
koontz, king, and Rice books
twilight, hungergames, 50 shades books (every unit has atleast 1, i must have 15 copies of each)
pins
lunch boxes

I have 2 rooms devoted to this, one room for things i'm nostalgic for, another for the weird oddity type stuff.

so brutal!

sorry bout your brain tumor travis.

if that many brits come here they should post some content.


mooore input.

bidders I've never seen and bidders that I only see when I travel far.  A few guys who acted like big shots.  Items in units all tossed and shaken around. PODS walls are white translucent so flashlight wasn't needed.  Most unites going for $6-800 more than is normal.  All the unites lined up next to each other so when everyone goes to empty them out its impossible.

I did snag a black sofa and love seat unit for $175.  might make another $50 in dvds and cd's but i'll be spending $40 atleast on dump fees.

public storage?
that means the auctioneer will be 2 hours late and once she does arrive she will sit in the office for another 45 mins doing paperwork.

i'm not bitter.

if i came across a forrest gump dvd i'd keep it for myself.  i like that site because they take ALL dvd's.  even the stinkers.

plus, the other bidder who will now buy all my dvds from me for 50 cents will also buy the ones that site would only have given me 10 cents for.

ebay isn't on my radar untill I get overwhelmed with stock.  my local neighbors seem to buy most of what I put out for sale.

a funny thing happened at the auction yesterday.
There is only one other regular bidder that is freindly torward me.  I remember him buying a unit with a ton of DVD's in it a few weeks before hand.  Yesterday I showed him a phone app that lets you sell DVD's through USPS for 50 cents a peice, and they take all DVD's.  He said "hey, thanks, but why don't you let me buy your DVD's off of you directly.  So, when he came to my warehouse to pick them up I asked him about the "boat anchor" solution.  He said "hey, I'll come pick those items up from your unit for you for free whenever you get stuck with them".

See I'm a noob to the storage auction game but my tech savvy helped me gain this scrapper contact.

also that photo of a ferret's idea to post a "looking for scrapper" ad on craigslist was a bonzer idea.  I might get $80 for a fridge as mentioned but i'd rather give it away and take the $400 worth of other merch in the unit home because the highest bid on that unit was $125 because non of the bidders wanted to move that fridge.
