All the auctions I have been to here have per cut locks. There is the red storage company's lock and a tamper tag.

The storage auctions in my area are done by the managers of each place we go to.

I have been going to house hold auctions for a few years and now to storage auctions. I have not bought one yet just checking out what is going on. I have seen some of the same people at the different places. Some of the prices have been crazy high and some not so bad. I have seen the crowds range form 3 to 30.

Reality Shows about Storage Auctions / Re: Storage Wars....Fall, 2011 Escapades !
« on: October 12, 2011, 10:15:26 PM »Just watched an episode that I think aired last week, but I'll review it in a minute anyway.
Right now the new episode is starting (followed by the 2nd edition of "unlocked") so I'll be back in about an hour !
******
OK, "unlocked" is ending and I can't bring myself to go back and review the 2 shows that ran before it, but as usual the drama was there and some good things were found, BUT the show seems to be getting more honest in its approach.
Now the show is ending and they are doing a profit analysis...I'll re-run that and give you the results...pretty interesting.
Jarrod and Brandi...............spent.....$7,790........profit was $23, 644...for every dollar they spent they made....$3.04
Barry................................spent .....$11,653....profit was...$36,290...for every dollar he spent he made..........$3.12
Darrell...............................spent.....$8,245......profit was....$29,908..for every dollar he spent he made..........$3.63
Dave (boo, hiss !)................spent.....$20,960....profit was....$144,249...for every dollar he spent he made........$6.88
OK, a new way to enjoy math....I'll have to work mine out !
To finish, Dotson auctions off a Harley Peace Officer bike....Darrell gets it for $12K....Barry knocks over his mysterious briefcase !
More hijinks from tv's newest success story !
These numbers are all based on what they claim they can get for what they bought. They showed some of Dave auctions and there were plenty of the lights that he bought and has not sold yet sitting on his shelfs. Did he sell all his vending machines and get what he told us he would get for them. Barry keeps most of his stuff so how much did he really make ?

Storage Auctions "In The News" / Re: Storage Wars Dave Hesters Estimated Profits
« on: October 11, 2011, 11:14:19 PM »
Dave Hester's prices are so far off it's not funny. He said the fur coats that Barry gave him are $200 each. I can find them at the Goodwill for $20 or less

I have to agree with the fact that the rain will not keep people away.
