they finally got them up online
well now that ive seen them , I dont think they were any more or less entertaining that any of the others
i have seen joe at a couple auctions but not in years around here
ive been to one of the auctioneers auctions too and i must say he looks a lot more enthusiastic here in the show than he did at uhaul selling off crap at 50-100 a room
the crowd actually looked kind of small for what i would expect in manhattan or brooklyn
there have always been lots of ooohs and ahs when they open lockers here event if its just a trash bag (sarcasm runs rampant in new york)
locker prices looked cheaper than i was expecting and thats about what they were running before the tv shows
(expect to see more 5x5s and 5x10 in this franchise than any other)
i like the redhead better than brandy
Ive been to many auctions where a couple of people brought their dogs and no one cared a whole lot ( i have not seen it at all since the crowds blew up though)
joe p from what i have heard has been doing this a long time and 20+ rooms a week is not a stretch for 20 years ago., Most of the old timers i talk to all had certain locations where there would be next to no turnout and buy every room in the place
note to phil on the banana yellow van , i dont know what they paid for it but they are going 1500+ regardless of mileage and to get any van for under 3000 your getting high mileage , or old , or needing major repairs , you can get a deal if you shop but expect to look for a while (junked my 91 chevy 20 shortbox van last year got $475 for it ) the price of scrap is high and vans dont come cheap here

fyi parking in manhattan is a ***** and a paid spot in a lot is going to run at least 10$ an hour and theres a surcharge for vans trucks bringit to around 20-25$ if your there for an hour
add in the tolls figure its around another $13 or so to get in and out of the city and gas on top of all that
subways and cabs would be the way to go , go back with the truck if and when you buy something
not to mention in a lot of parts of the city its nearly as fast to walk as it is to drive
parking tickets are over $100 if i remember correctly

eBay / Re: Where do you get boxes for shipping?
« on: December 30, 2012, 04:44:44 PM »
my local storage facility saves me small and medium boxes and i pick them up whenever they have 20+ they also save me some kick ass soft foam sheets that are 2" thick and easy to cut to size
the ups store in my area seems to have the best bang for your buck on bubble wrap with a monster sized roll of small or large bubble 12" wide for $39 im not sure how long it is when its standing on its side its got to be close to 3 feet high
check your yellow pages for box manufacturers , if you have any in your area they may have stupid cheap deals on stuff thats been misprinted or overruns (i got 400 boxes suitable for first class mail , a little bigger than the usps small flat rate priority box for a whopping dime each)
tape does go bad try not to buy it by the case unless you are going to go through 36 rolls in fairly short order and never store it in cold
ive been getting mine at staples for around 13$ a six pack 2" x 110
if you shop you can get cases for a buck and a half a roll on ebay delivered

The Lounge / Re: Worst Christmas Gift of 2012
« on: December 26, 2012, 05:20:51 PM »
i agree on the impersonal , but when somone gives me something i tend to hold onto it forever even if its something i will never use, right now im looking at a table top casino game i got around 2003 , its sitting on my closet shelf and i dont think i ever opened it . For me the gift card helps me out space wise ,practicality wise , and i never have to worry about getting rid of it for sentimental reasons
