A few days ago i finally got back into buying up storage units, well one storage unit at least lol. Anyway it was at a local Muskegon, MI storage space. The auction had 3 units, 1 of which was a junk one that went for $40 or so. another with some nice stereo equipment for concerts and the like. (2 large speakers and and cd/recievers). this unit also had misc furniture and a couple boxes. it ended up going for $350. Next came the last unit which had, some furniture, old wooden style tv (wow thats old) and some 10 odd boxes. This was my unit and i ended up spending $160.

This was a nice storage rental building and very helpful in the cleaning process. It took me and my dad maybe 4-5hours and we could dump the garbage on site. they also had carts to lug furniture around on and they even sweeped up the unit for me (:, needless to say i will be bidding here again!

here is a picture of the 7 headed carving from africa

I have been really thinking lately.... I wanna know how you guys do in winter since yard sales, garage sales and such aren't prevalent.

I bought 10x10 unit the other day for $345. It was my first and I will definetly learn from it. bought from where i was standing I saw about 25 boxes 5 dressers an older freezer, washer and dryer an Xbox and some other misc.  I ended getting a lkr that was just full of stuff someone just stashed in there without organizing. I ended up finding food and spices still in 1 kitchen cabinet and in a garbage bag.. and it also had too many vhs tapes and scratched up dvds that werent fixable. But on the bright side I sold the washer and dryer right away for $175 to a friend some of the furniture was antique so i had a guy come pick it up for $130. sold some of the crap furniture that was in very used condition and knick knacks at a yard sale and made $75. I did find some rare items such as a Howard Miller mantle clock worth $60 in its condition, An etched marble art piece (framed) worth $115. I Still have a dresser to sell and some odds and ends stored away for now.
