Stories about Storage Auctions / Re: Nice lavender flashlight...
« on: April 10, 2011, 10:43:55 AM »
I have the same flashlight.  It is gun metal, there aint no red tint in it.  Tell the old farmer to sit on his JD and rotate in a field somewhere.

....cause a flashlight is gonna make you a man an an auction, not the bill fold in your pocket.

I am pretty sure at least one of the shows was picked up for a second season, so waiting until March probably wont help a damn thing.

Check the auction contract with the storage facility.  I am pretty sure once they take your money and you start going through the unit, it is yours, you official "own" it, and no auction house can then take it back or refuse your bid.

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: Post Storage Locker Gun Stories Here
« on: February 18, 2011, 08:44:41 AM »
I actually wonder...and this is me thinking out loud...if there are more guns in storage in CA because of the amount of laws that hinder gun ownership.  Here in NC, if you own a gun, I am pretty sure you would have it with you, not in storage, but that is just my general opinion, since I live in the sticks and hear guns go off pretty much every day.

New to Storage Auctions? / Re: Where did you get your seed money, how much did you start with?

Ironman,

   I totally agree on the money thing.  I guess what I was trying to say is I have money I "could" use as seed money that wouldn't affect any bills/needs/etc, but I think it is even better if I sell some stuff, to get in the swing of things.

Thanks for your opinion, as for dump fees, I go to a dump for my normal trash here in rural NC, and they let me dump as much as 2+ truckloads without ever questioning me.  I think they would have no issue with it, and if they do, well, we don't need burn permits out here either!   8)

Reality Shows about Storage Auctions / Re: Season Finally of Auction Hunters

Finally watched this this morning.  What I learned:

1. Wear a mask
2.  Grenades are bad, m'kay?
3.  Don't put your dead relatives in storage.

Thanks is all....

Just a simple question.  What did you do to get your pocketful for the first auction.  Also, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you start with?

I don't need to sell things to get startup money, but in the spirit of the industry, and for practice, I am looking through my things and selling what I can get rid of.  A few computer parts on ebay, a few auto parts on craigslist, etc.  I would love to hear your story.

I was just rounding up to 100K for all of the "get rich quick" folks.  Trying to realistically show what kind of buying/selling power it takes to make what is really not even a rich persons income.  It is hard work, I want to do it because it looks like something I would really enjoy, and if I make a few extra dollars for it, more power to me.  I don't ever expect it to make me rich, but if for some reason, I was to ever find myself needing work, it would be nice to be able to ramp it up.

So, a quick math of averages says @10 lockers a week you are spending roughly 2750 out.  So lets see...that is 11k a month out for a 4 week month average....and then if you hope to make 100K in income, lets see, you would have to bring in about 18.5k a month...

Sounds like a lot of money going and coming....wow, and more if you want to afford health insurance.   :P

He's "wild" all right, but I think his catch phrase is "wow factor". But then, I could be wrong; it would be the first time though!  ;D

Just once I would like to see him find something like a used commode and go "now that's wow factor!".

In our area I only see one in the next two months on a weekend, and it is actually a moving company, auctioning off "containers" that I guess were never claimed/paid for.  I would guess of all the auctions that one will be packed (since it is a weekend, I can see moms, dads, and little kids crawling all over in my head).

He buys 10 to12 lockers a month (this info from him in another thread); don't know about the dollars he spends.

HEY, shouldn't you be WORKING on the computer instead of cruising this forum? Maybe you're on a 10 minute break !

LOL!!  I have time between calls to "research" and work offline on other issues.  :-)  If I could have proof that the wireless card things would work from anywhere, I would just bring my laptop with me and cruise auctions while working from my "mobile" office.
