Haven't seen any new threads on this lately. Yard sales have been good to me. Found this weekend 10' Husky fiberglass ladder 5.00 ;D. I have another story will share later on. What is everyone else finding?

Stories about Storage Auctions / 2 Units To Start The Year
« on: January 14, 2012, 12:17:01 AM »
Three units when sale got started. I got 2 of them this auction was at beginning of the new year. There was only 15 people with no regulars which I couldn't believe. First unit is a 5x15 packed all the way to the top. You could tell this one was loaded and never gone back to. Got this one for 425.00. Showing was a Murray bag push mower. Ryobi extendable weed eater. Also 8ft Werner aluminum step ladder.  Also case for music instrument had saxophone in it this was sold for 125.00. Also crate furniture dining table. When we started to unload it we also found David Clark avaition headphones which have already sold on Ebay for 192.50. Also found snare drum and case which I have sold for 45.00. 10 porcelain dolls that I still have. Faberware china pattern elegance gold. Kenmore super capacity washer and dryer. I sold these to another couple that was at the auction for 100.00 as is. Skill saw and small tool box. Also Medline large wheelchair with footrest sold for 125.00. In another box was a queen size down comforter. And a lot of other small 2 to 10 dollar items.

Second unit is a 10x10 half full. Now here's the kicker manager let us walk inside and look around but couldn't touch anything or look in boxes. This was the first time I had ever been able to walk in a unit. Showing is a crate furniture sofa with cushions on back wall and another floral sofa on the other wall. Clothes hanging overhead and misc boxes and totes. Also notices some small items had price tags on them as the previous tenant must have had a yard sale. We all step back outside and the manager starts at 25.00 and everyone looks at each other. I figure what the heck I could always donate the couches if I had to. So I bid 25.00 and couldn't believe it when no one else bids. Highlights from this one were hidden in the corner under an half full box of pots and pans is an new 16x14 home tent with closet SCORE. Also found hammock with stand, dish network receiver still in box. Also Boyds large bear and a ton of 1.00 to 10.00 yard sale flea market items. Haven't sold much from this one as I have been working on the first locker. Will keep everyone updated as I finish going through boxes and totes.
