Dang you overpaid by $15.  Seriously, least if you find a few decent items you can make your money back.  That is yuck but not the worse thing you can find in a locker.

Well did a quick 3 unit auction today.  First unit was pretty nice and full.  Was a 10x20 and sold for $300.  I was interested in it but not with only 24 hours to clean it out.  The other 10x20 was 3 couches, a bed, 4 kid/dog gates, and various eldery odds and ends.  It went for $150.  The last unit was a small 5x10 with crap tv, microwave, few junk end tables or something.  It sold for $5.  No one wanted the unit.  Was only about 10 registered bidders today.

It all depends on the state you are in and the company.  Most of the places in my area post the first initial and last name of the person who has defaulted and a snippet description.  Others, the full name and snippet, and yet others just the name.  Legally they should be posting the name and a brief description of the contents.  They may take a picture to send to the owner but I've not found any websites w/ pictures for the facilities in my area.

example listings of upcoming auctions:
#229, Hillary Caldwell: table, radio, computer
Dorn Margaret Elizabeth unit # 348 all content
111: Cornwell, A.-Storage Containers, boxes and chest.
222 Harmon Jackson

Depending on state laws you would have to first get the title put in your name if you purchased it.  Then you could sale the "title" and transfer it to the person that purchased the car.  All, without actually moving the vehicle.  However, I think you would also have to pay the various taxes and such.

Can you post a picture of them?

I used it years and years ago when I was still in college (so 15 or so years back).  Would both sale and buy text books from the site.  Was thinking about jumping on it again as I have a few hardback and a ton of paperback books out of a unit.  Paperbacks may not be worth it but the hardbacks may.

I normally don't bid on units w/ TVs unless it's really a unit I like.  However, I've found a few small TVs up under stuff when I couldn't see the TV.  I don't calculate my "time" in cost since I do this as a hobby.  If I'm not digging in a unit I'd prob be playing video games.  So at least I can make some cash back for time spent.

R u serious so u take losses when u find tvs??

As Dave would say "Yuuuuuup".  I don't take as big of a loss as some people do but I HATE tvs.  Before they opened the "recycle center" the county would do a electronics recycle drive twice a year.  You could take them TVs, monitors, etc. for free and they would load it all on a big semi.  Since they opened the center that went away.  Local trash dump also closed so everything goes to a collection center now if you don't use a trash service.  So I strip every last item I can from a TV that I can either use or make a few cents or such from.  Even down to the screws.


PS - I hate that copper prices have started to fall.  Just as I'm getting a good supply again.
