Stories about Storage Auctions / Ever see this at an auction???
« on: January 31, 2011, 11:05:07 PM »
3418-A  S. New Hope Rd., Gastonia.   As of 1-31-11 we have 14 Bins which include items such as Tools, Furniture, Appliances, TV's, Electronics, an Antique Player Piano, Marble Tables, Kirby Vacumm Cleaner w/Shampoo Kit & manuals, a box of knifes and much much more to be auctioned off.    One large bin contains hundreds of High-End Mens & Ladies clothes in "Like-New" condition that would be perfect for a consignment store.   These will be Full Bin Sales.  We may have a couple bins that will be sold by the piece.

Whats wrong with this picture??? I wasnt aware that they could enter until the auction, much less advertise some good things and show photos of the things they mentioned. Ones only left to believe that they ramsacked every locker and picked thru them....I hope nobody shows up period.

General Storage Auction Talk / Over 200 at local auctions these days
« on: January 03, 2011, 01:14:57 AM »
I went to a few auctions the other day. over 200 people following the auctions over 4 different locations. They was so may people they ran out of bidding numbers and stopped registering people, just said if you buy, give them the info. This was a very cold day with ice all over.  Bad neighborhoods, run down storage units, doors that wouldnt open properly, Less fortunate person looked to have lived in one unit. Cheap rent i suppose but it sold for $45 for basically nothing but a efw ashtrays, blankets, and alarm clock laying on the floor  . Seen people paying insane prices for junk hoping to find a treasure. Closet sized bin sold for $185. Had two garbage bags with christmas decorations sticking out. Also looked to be 4 blue plastic sotrage containers. Id like to think there was gold bars in the bins but image with the christmas stuff on top. it couldnt have been anywhere near worth $185. Man paid $825 for a pile of EXPIRED in 08 Chinese food boxes and soft drink cases from a business. No actual rest. appliances. I watched the tv shows too, but didnt lose my mind. I used to attend these auctions 15 years ago where $20 would actually  get you a decent unit. Perhaps I should have stayed home.
