General Storage Auction Talk / Went to an auctionzip auction today

« on: November 30, 2011, 06:38:45 PM »

50 people showed up but only 6 or 7 were bidding on the on most of the units i saw a few i liked but prices were higher then i liked to spend on my first unit. The cheapest unit went for 25 and it had a washer and dry in it plus a windows 95 pc. The auctioneer would start the bid as soon as the door opened the first two units i didnt even get to look at. Also the bidders went ape **** crazy for a unit that was outside i heard one guy saying
"oh a unit outside i bet theres a bike or car in it" the door opens and it had a few nices things in it i think it was a 10x20. it went for almost 2k i was dumbfounded by that. the thing that sucks is its the closest place to me and they also alone use auctionzip i go to the next one but ill bring a little more cash. thanks for reading guys.

i have about 230 dollars for my first auction probably wont buy anything tho but im hoping thats enough if i do. i live in a gated community were we have a dump that we can use as much as we want , they have a fix rate that we paid one every 4 months in our dues. also my dad can get a trailer to us for free at work. so other the gas money i think i should be good. thoughts?
