Good to know I'm not the only one having this issue. Yesterday I had ten people call and say they were coming, four said they were in the car and on the way, and only one showed up! I guess my city is no more flaky then any other. 

Hey Everybody, well I am another one of those "newbies". Ive been doing auctions since November 2010. I have bought 4 lkrs, and 2 "piecemeal picks". A "piecemeal pick" is when at the end of the auction the storage owner/manager says "hey look at this stuff I have over here that was not listed on the auction!" and then they proceed to auction it of piece by piece.

I have a question for the "old-timers", like I said I have been running the circuit and checking the papers and internet for auctions since November, but today I was at the auction and overheard several of the "old-timers" talking about an auction held last week. I did not have that auction on may list. How am I missing auctions not posted in my hometown's one and only newspaper, and not showing up on internet databases for legal notices?

Well glad to be here, and thanks for the help on my question!
