Hi All!  I first stumbled on these storage auctions while browsing my  local paper classifieds about 1 1/2 years ago.  To this day, I can't get it out of my head that I could do this and replace my real job.  When I first saw the ad in the paper, I went to the public storage auctions for a few months in a row.  Observed, bid on some, but then backed down when the thoughts of what the hell am I going to do with those mattresses, and how am I going to get all this home and where am I going to put it all scared me.  About a year ago, I went to a less publicized auction and bought a small locker for $5.  I sold a couch, and some tires from that unit.  Spent a lot of time hauling and going through the stuff.  Planned on selling some more of the small stuff, but eventually got tired of walking around it and tossed it all.

I am a working mom of young kids that are pretty involved in activities and sports.  I am to the point of overload.  I am looking for more flexibility.  I am thinking about quiting my job and trying this FT.  Or going PT and doing this PT.  My question to the veterans is...  Can I honestly replace my current take home income of $3,400 a month.  I am not afraid to work, but don't want to do it for peanuts. 

Your opinions are appreciated.
