Reality Shows about Storage Auctions / Re: Storage Wars New York
« on: December 26, 2012, 05:12:24 PM »
not good , I dont think the effects will last too long though should taper off somewhere between march and june i think (or hope)

ny is a screwy marketplace to begin with there are so many people in such a small area
and to add to that there are  tons of immigrants who can hustle like nobodys business here to boot

before the auction shows started it wasnt uncommon to see 5x5s for 2 3 and 4 hundred and 10 x10s 1000 + and 30- 50 people at some auctions

many folks who wanted to try their hand at it already came and went , but with this many people in this small an area the new show will bring out more for sure

ny all 5 bouroghs/counties  has a population roughly equivilant to the population of los angeles ,chicago and houston combined on a series of islands that land wise is half the size of houston

if you add in the surrounding counties there are another 4 or 5 million people around

this is a 25 mile radius from new york city , in other words 50 miles straight across the shaded circle  the population in the circle is somewhere around 13 million people

truly rare and unique items will sell fine year round, more mundane things will sell for less than normal around the holidays

Flea Markets / Re: How often is your flea market cancelled due to weather ?
« on: December 22, 2012, 12:03:40 PM »
my market is open from march to christmas eve it is always open rain or shine and they dont give refunds , they will however sell your spot for you and credit your next week if they have a buyer for the spot


when they used to give rain checks they did it perhaps twice a year

if it wasnt raining at 7am when they opened you paid even if it poured at 715

ive gone in the middle of january in snowstorms only to find 30-40 people there (before the shows came on ) its hit or miss no matter what the weather

204
you would think that it would have  some kind of locator built in for the money they charge for those things

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: Pricing your merchandise correctly
« on: December 17, 2012, 05:54:52 PM »
it really depends on the demand for the object 

new flat screen tv in the box , and a new vcr in the box are vastly different things

if 2 1/2 men can go on without charlie sheen this can certainly go on without hester , im curious as the whom would replace hjim as i dont like mark nabilla or jeff

207
seems a little questionable


they certainly would have been better of with a disclaimer being as most people wouldnt even pay it any attention anyway

I wonder if they will wind up being sued by someone who lost a buttload of money at auctions thinking the ones on the show were realistic
