They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; maybe this is an example.

One of the watchdogs of the storage industry has conducted a survey of storage auction buyers impressions of the industry as it exists today.

One of the thrusts of the survey deals with the "new" online storage business which has been finding its way for several years but has yet to break through on any kind of significant presence throughout the United States.

Maybe it's just an untapped market?

North Carolina is not alone. I looked at one of the online auction sellers the other day...they had a map of the USA showing where their auctions were. I don't remember which of the outfits it was, but of 48 states there were auctions in maybe 6 to 8 and they were on the west and east coasts and in the south...of course there is a lot of population in those areas as opposed to Nebraska for instance.

No, it would be disappointing if "someone" found it,
it would be "neat" if "I" found it!

It will be a miracle if anyone finds it. The clues (widely available on the internet) could mean a lot of different things.

Still, it's fun  to imagine finding it and the exploring alone would be worthwhile. Walking a trail is a lot more fun (IMO) than cleaning out a locker (or at least MOST lockers).

This thread is an attempt to provide links to sources outside this forum which express opinions about the online storage auction approach to selling storage units.

It doesn't matter to me whether those links are PRO or CON this new approach. I'll start this thread with a link to an almost 10 minute comment on this subject.

Feel free to add your own outside links. If you want to add your OWN opinion here too that's OK, but there are already several threads running along those lines.  The outside comments from people not associated with this forum would be a refreshing change, even if WE have to provide them.

I'm not a fan of YouTube in general or of this fellow in particular but here it is.


Read the comments below the video as well....that's another chance to get a VARIETY of opinions.

Just when we thought we were "safe" they pull us back in !



No start date yet apparently.

I've had their coffee and if you're correct I can honestly say that commercial is guilty of false advertising.

That could be true and true of a lot of advertising, but as I said I just thought they had a clever approach to selling the product.
