I don't know about anyone else, but if I have 10 auctions running I might sell 4 to 6 items. That means some DIDN'T sell. 

Should they be relisted?  When should they be relisted..immediately, a week later, a month later?

I know what I do. What about you ?

"back in the day" eBay used to charge different rattes depending on how much you were asking for an item.
If you put 99 cents as a starting price it was free. There was a scale up from there. Let's say you asked $15. The fee for that might have been $1.50 (I don't remember as it was 10 years ago this happened"

No there are no such charges, so how do you determine what you will charge. I have my ideas but I'll wait for some input here before I relate them.

Personally, I begin all mine at 5:30 pm. This way they END at 5:30 p.m. either 5, 7 or 10 days later.

This works for me because if they are ending at 5:30 pm on the west coast they are ending at 8:30 on the east coast.
This is after people have gotten home and ...gives them some time before going to bed...to bid.

I am beginning to see the wisdom in the picking more and more, especially in my situation where I still have a full time job.  Picking and online is pretty much all I do these days.

And I am starting to see a convert.

Picking is really a winner if you have enough sources for goods. It's a lot less work and you can choose what you want and what you don't want right from the get go. No dump runs, etc, etc.
Sounds like a winner to me.

Compared to the examples of prices you listed as examples in reply #2 above I think you might have paid not "an arm and a leg" but rather a toe...no wait, a toenail. Maybe even a hair for your new domain.

I'll give you this...your enthusiasm and your urge to keep trying are commendable.

I've had 3 experiences with this in 10 years.

First time I bought a locker for a grand and it paid out great, BUT it had a refrigerator with no shelves/drawers and a nice oak dining table with no chairs.

When I talked to the facility manager I learned that the deceased tenant had a 2nd locker registered and paid for in another persons name (a friend I guess). For some reason that locker was one month off from the one I bought and it didn't come up until the next month. I got it too, got the missing parts from locker #1 and lots more good smalls.
Making it happen is a major part of this business.

Second time I got a great locker for $1,700 and the guy had two other lockers that he had paid up just before the auction. Naturally, I tracked him through every month Public Storage had a sale. Each time he paid up and he STILL (a year later) has one locker that I'm waiting to see come up.  The sad and bad thing about this guy was that he and his wife were living in a "motel" now instead of the house he had "leveraged" and then lost to foreclosure.

****

Third time was a long-haul trucker who had two lockers across from each other. The manager had tipped me to this guy and since I had a locker at the facility I got to see the lock cut on these two (yeah, I know...it isn't fair to the other buyers...too bad !) It took a full year of these lockers coming up mulitple times, but finally.... I got the first one for $800, sold for 4 times that.  The other locker wasn't as good and a newbie got it; I bought a few things from that buyer !

My best tool has become a list of estate, yard and flea market sales !

Living within 20 miles of 6 or 7 flea markets helps with that. Picking is the new auction locker scene for me, but I still
go to maybe 6 to 10 auctions a month that are close by. I haven't bought a locker since last May I think it was (2013).

At some piece by piece auctions a good flashlight (for the times they let us walk into lockers) is the most valuable asset along with a mobile device to look up completed sales prices of similar items on eBay.

I got reacquainted with why I stopped watching the tv shows.

An episode from Season 2 in New York showed one of the newer guys buying a crap locker for over $1,000.
It was a 5 x 10 showing nothing but bulky, black garbage bags filling the door.

Sure enough, he starts opening them and lo and behold, plastic water bottles. Other stuff he pulled out was similar crap including a half eaten sandwich in a paper bag.  Can you say street person ?

BUT....there was one little bag with I think 4 plastic Pez dispensers inside...shaped like pistols. He goes to a Pez convention in Connecticut where an expert appraises them at a total of $3,400 with each priced in the $800 to $1,600 range.

I just looked them up on eBay...not exactly the same ones I'm sure...but the prices ranged from $40 to $90...those were the completed prices.
