We bought 2 
 

Sounds like overall you'll do fine...works that way more often than not (one making up for the other).

I went to 3 auctions today...same auctioneer.

Crowd AND prices were pretty good. There were about 6 regulars and the other 15 or so were new. The contents at the first place were pretty junky, but I sprung for the first one...$30 for a five by 10 about 1/2 full...I need the totes I saw and maybe the contents will work out.

Second place still kind of junky, but a little better. I got one 5 x 5 for $110 with very clean looking boxes. Got in afterwards and it's coming out pretty good...45 DVDs (like new) and one box set of 7 that should go for about $30 or so. Should make some money on it.

Third place had 2...2nd one was 10 x 30 and half full, but telling clues were those galvanized metal a-frames used for flea markets and the planks they put over them. Went for $210 and that was an ok price. I only was interested in a couple of the display pieces but the fellow who got it probably won't sell them to me at a decent price.

Crowd and prices good....wish it would stay that way.

Took the plunge and bought an iPad !

I bought a refurb from apple with 32gb, wi-fi + 3G.  My primary use will be for doing item lookups when I am at fleas and estate sales and yard sales.

Already seeing difference in typing...I am using hunt and peck here!

*******

Have downloaded Netflix and eBay apps. eBay app looks great...easy to use full version. Can watch my Netflix instant stuff anywhere.

So far using my home wi-fi net but will order $15 AT&T data plan today with 250mb a month--all I think I need and is month to month.

iPad users---let me know what works for you.

When I talked to Bubba from the cast of Storage Wars Dallas, he said that the show will premier in December, but does anyone know the specific date?

Yes, the first Dallas episode is Tuesday, December 6, 2011 after the regular CA episode.

Yes, do what virtually everyone else here does...look in every newspaper you have available to you. Check the legal notices every day for a month or more. You'll find auctions to go to.

Should use the Plug section.

And WOW $200 Deposit !!!!

Surprised you have not been moved to the plug section. But, you COULD provide some perspective from the property manager perspective...why not start actually adding some useful thoughts?

Also there is at least one website on the internet that is dedicated to the prop mgr side.

Welcome and enjoy!

What he said.

One of the first units i saw had  a radio in it.... I wanted to bid but I  dicided I wasn't going to bid until I got the hang of it.  I wasn't sure what it was.  After it drove me crazy all day I did some research.  It turns out it was a rare sony shortwave radio crf-320, Sells on ebay for over $700.00.  And yes the locker went for $80.00.  OMG!
