Well after I quit my job as a milker I went and got a job cleaning out forclosers. Talked to the boss about keeping items. he said as long as I split the money on them theres no problem. Well today got a chest/bench, 2 chairs, old antique tins, mini shop vac, name brand clothes ( mudd, and others) tuns of toys few antique gas cans and tuns of other stuff. Im lookin at easily making a few hundred off these items in the city. Plus I still get paid. Cant beat double dippin in the book and free gas for jobs. Still lookin for auctions but waiting on some paychecks for the big lkrs.

Hey Terrorbow, that is one of the many things I want to get into. Think you can get some info from your boss on the process of finding eviction/forclosure homes to clean and fix?

wow, with just reading what you wrote, and not seeing it for myself, it seems to me some of those lockers still went higher than what they would of been before the shows.

Weather dont stop anybody from going out to the auctions.

I hope that is a joke. That is someones luggage and for the most part its the Airports fault the luggage gets lost. Not the person's that it belongs to.

I would like to get on those types of containers. Will have to look into any that are along the Texas Coast Line. Most likely Houston and Galveston area. Hey Travis have you seen these up that way?

Tricky tricky tricky. There has to be trust, and something drawn out that says he has this responsibility, and you have this responsibility. However before you get into all that, each one of those ideas yall have talked about, you need to sit down and come up with the pros and cons to each. The one that has the  most pros is the one I would go with. It seems to me that for the most part, all of these are a different job function.

However I will give this extra advice on the last one. Were you will be going to auctions and making bids, and he wants you to do that for him too. I would scratch that out. Remember there are ways to offset the odds with this industry. But still can be a gamble. Say you bid on a locker that to you can make $800. So you bid it up to $450 and get it. His $450 mind you. And after all said and done, everything is sorted, and you only manage to make $175 on it all. Now you got to explain to him where the other $275 is at. Well it jsut was not there, you made a wrong calculation, you read the locker wrong, what you thought you saw was in no shape to make you the money you thought you could make. Then what?

I say this cause my brother in law approached me with the same deal. And after weighing all this out, and told him sorry I cant do it. Just what if I use your money to get a locker and its a bust, then im lost out and so are you. Just not worth it.

I am hoping this summer. All depends if I take my family out on vacation to go do some camping.
