No i had to go down to $265 on it. But better that then moving it around all the time.
This was the last item i could sell from that locker, and it was a locker i lost big on. After all has been sold i lost 180 bucks on that unit, including hauling,labor help and dump fees.

This item is now finally sold. This item has been haunting me since december. Very happy to see it walk out the door.

Stokker og steiner kan bryte mine beina, men kaller nr.

And that made no sense at all. What did you try to say ? Thats a bad google translation, and had no direct meaning in Norwegian.
Try again. You know you can do it either in (Bokmål) formal Norwegian or in (Ny-Norsk) new Norwegian.  And this time, try it without using google translation.

You can dish it out Mr. A but you can't take it. My belief is that the readers of these forums can make up their own minds about such things and for the most part I would guess that none of this between you and I is of much importance to them.



Your the one who has been posting it on here in public, so stop your whimping.
You are nothing but a sorry ass, and no one has any use for you. And yes i think that what you present of your self in here as an auction buyer stinks. Your last good unit was years ago and you are still living on that one unit. I bet you are not even doing it anymore, because you can't make it in the business.

Men når du er en ynklig liten valp med ikke noe mellom øra, så blir det vanskelig å få noe til.

New to Storage Auctions? / Re: Is an auction required

Here in Memphis we have one facillity where the owner keeps everything, they don't have auctions.
What the owner does is selling the stuff in his own thrift store, or he throws it away if it is to bad for selling.

This might be different from state to state.

Here in TN they do not have to have an auction.
It all depends on the wording when it is published. So it is totally up to the facillity owner what he wants to do with the stuff. Throw it away, keep it and sell it off or sell it at a auction.

So check out your states law on this, and go from there.

I was just commenting on what I have seen, you guys can put the pitchforks away. 

I clearly stated "I don't recommend this but I'm just throwing it out there. If you don't empty out the storage unit completely, you might be barred from attending auctions at that facility."

As far as the credit issue is concerned, I see your point.



The problem is that movieman never reads the posts good enough, so when he comments on them he is so far off from what was said. I do not recommend anyone to listen to him, he is just a blank shot in the dark.  tragic person.

Like I said, I need to move to near Memphis where the pickins' are easy and every locker is a pot of gold (just like Auction Hunters) !



Pot og gold they are not. I get tons of bad ones as well.
Even this 50 dollar one has a few dings that i did not see right away. the wardrobe cabinet is crappy, an will serve as a storage place.
Also the roing machine is not good, it will be sold as scrap metal.
The Montgomery ward is not worth much on the market, maybe 75 bucks, but i collect these things, so to me it brings great value. More then money ever can.

Sorry, I got lost reading the extensive item by item lists of all the things you get in each of your award winning lockers. I would put my long-term track record up against yours anyday, but as sbell111 commented one day it takes an extra special blowhard to do the job you are doing here. Yep, you're doing something right, but you're also doing something wrong....I guess I won't get an invite to that house in Norway you mentioned but I can tell you right now that if I had brought in the millions you claim from your MLM and other endeavors, I sure as shootin' wouldn't be out buying lockers for $1 and taking the freeby lkrs  just to get $15 out of them, but then that's me, and you are you. Go to it guy !



Clearly you did not read what i said. And then you turn around and give it a whole new meaning, a meaning that are fitting your thinking. Where did i say i was bringing in millions on MLM?? MLM is probobly that thing i make less money on. Since my business more or less is real estate ( renting out apt and houses) it creates  a lot of dead time. As for Norway, yeah i own a part of the company. Do that mean i am active working in it? NO, i am a shareholder.

So instead of sitting around doing nothing or pretending to do something, i go out and do auctions. I am not afraid to work hard and get dirt on my hands, if i can do something that is fun, well then i will do it. And if i make money doing it, well then thats even better. Even for a one dollar unit.  I look at it more as game, how many percentage can i gain on one unit. How much cash can i make out of 1 dollar spent.  But of course i also do the 400 and 500 dollar units, but they are not as fun as the small ones.

One thing you have to know, since your doing business, when i mention to Sbell111 about my company and what it do, well one thing is turnover, do that mean thats what i make? no, a business has bills, it has investments needs, and etc.  My share of that comes after taxes and expenses. And then the profit is split between 3 shareholders.  But like i said, you read it one way and then you see it one way, not thinking that there is more to it then what is said. Things are complex.

Do i make money, hell yeah! do i want to sit around in an office all day beeing bored? nahhh!  Sure i stop by my tentants and talk to them and fix things if there is problems. So i am just as much a working guy as anyone else. I am not a suit guy and never will be.

Your track record is probobly bigger then mine, and thats ok. You have probobly made better deals then me, and thats ok.  But have i ever made fun of your postings and finds? no.

In the beginning i thougt you was a decent guy, but it turns out your not. To bad.
Since you don't like my finds and and posting about the units, i have no problems stopping posting about it.

I can also inform you that the unit i paid one dollar for, i have sold what i could sell from it. 3 things went in the garbage.
Total profit from the 1 dollar locker is $92.00

Mattress sold for 5 dollars
Full size bed sold for 70 dollars
Leg brace sold for 10 dollars
Plastic tub sold for 5 dollars
Oil heater sold 10 dollars

Total of 100 dollars minus 1 dollar for the unit and 7 dollars to a friend of mine that helped me with the unit and the other 50 dollar unit.

So you see movieman, it can be done. I have to say one thing regarding this. The crowd in Memphis lately has gone back to Normal, we now have at the most 20 people attending the auctions, where 12-14 are regulars. So the newbies are not busting us up like they do at your place. BUT, that does not give you the right to be sarcastic and make fun of others. In my mind that just shows what stage in life your on, and if i was gonna put a name on it, it would be kindergarden.

Went to 3 auctions today...the first 2 by same auctioneer...good news and bad news.

Good news is that only 18 people in attendance at two auctions. The crowd was split to 3 cities each about 40 miles apart.

First place had 4 units. The 4th was a 10 x 5....5 feet deep. It was piled about 3 feet high with tools, but pretty beat up. A regular bought it for $775. Oh my !

Second place had 7 I think it was. Last one was best a 10 x30 but only about 2/3 full with a path down the middle. Good quality stuff, but not enough to justify the winning bid of $1,025. Oh well; I stopped at $700.

Third auction of the day was  a different auctioneer. Funny things was that one semi-old-timer was telling his friend "nobody know about this, I'm telling you."  I was sure he was talking about one I knew about and when I got there, there he was ! Crowd was once again about 18 with some variety. At all three auctions half the crowd were newbies.

Funny thing is he got two units at $375 (10 x 10 a little rough looking) and a 10 x 30 about 2/3 full for $600. The 2nd one had a pickup cab in it and lots of dashboards and radiators laying on the ground. Boxes of other car parts. Not for me.


So another bust day. Guess I'll move to near Memphis where apparently the pickings are better and you can get a locker for $1 and make $800 off it.  ::)

If you had taken te time to read what i typed, but then again, i don't expect you to read it. I said 50 and potential sale of 800. BTW i i have now sold for $305 out of that unit.  But it islike they say, when you fail at what you are doing, you have to pick at others who make it in the business. At least i get units and i make a killing profit from them. So that means i am doing something right, and your not. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

"Bill" is probobly the new caracter they are adding to the show. You will see more of him in the coming episodes.
Also most likely you will see less of Dave in the coming shows, as i think he is on it's way out of the show.

I have to give credit to Storage wars, they bring the reality to the table and show most sides of the business.

This is a sure thing for me every wedensday, cool show!

Thank you so much gravell. Always nice to get good comments on good lockers.

Ohh trust me i know all about bad lockers. I have had my share of them. But i use that knowledge to avoid them. And thats where i do pretty damn good. I seem to have found a way to get the lockers i want to a very good price.

My latest bad locker was about a month ago. And on that one i will with some luck break even.

When do you appear on Auction Hunters ?

Nah i live in the real world, with real lockers.
Auction hunters would fade with me around.

Locker number 2 has already sold for 125 dollar, and thats just for one of the items in it.

Here is what locker number two had in it.

- Almost brand new Serta new centry king size mattress set
- Almost brand new queen size mattress set. Box spring is still in the wraper from the store.
- One wardrobe cabinet
- Lanier 6714 copy machine
- GE mini fridge
- Haier mini fridge
- one 3 seater sofa
- one folding table
- one book shelf
- one brand new  52x speed ACER cd rom kit
- one brand new alarm central Magnum alert 1000e
- one workout roing machine
- Montgomery ward airline music bench, 8 track + record player

So movieman, yeah i did good, and please spare me your sarcastic remarks about my lockers. (auction hunters) comment.
And BTW 800 dollars was a conservative potential on this unit. I might even get more.

So movieman, instead of talking down on others, why don't you go out and get your own units. Haven't seen that to much lately? whats up? can't get any units?
