Welcome to the Jr. forum.  There is a lot of great information and people to learn from on here.

I too am still new to storage auctions.  I have been doing a lot of reading, but have yet to buy my first locker.  I am working on selling collectibles I bought from a buddy of mine to put together my seed money for my first auction.

Yes, that happens and it is (as you suggest) because of the length of the post. When it starts "jumping" just end that post and go immediately to a new post to continue the thought. It's very likely that your two posts will be one after the other as it is unlikely anyone else would be posting at the same time.

Another suggestion is what I do when I am planning to make a lengthy post:

Open Microsoft Word, Note Pad, or some kind of program like that, type what you want, then copy and paste it to your reply.  You will never have to worry about the screen jumping while you are trying to type.  It is also helpful to be able to use spell check in that program.

East Texas is not Safe, I was just at an Auction in East Texas, Longview, The A&E staff with Storage Wars signed several bidders and the auctioneer while I was there, Rumor is they are already filming in Longview Tyler and Dallas. Most of the Bidders for the show are from Longview TX and so is the Auctioneer.

You must have went to one of the Walt Cade Auctions.  I figured they would have signed him up.  That sucks.  Oh well, maybe I can go to one of their auctions when they are filming, act a fool, and become famous!!!

Welcome to the forum. 

I have been doing a lot of reading and posting on here, though I have yet to buy my first locker.

Just curious, how did the $5 locker turn out?

One of our local auciton houses has live auctions on Tuesday and Saturday.  Well, last Thursday they had a special auction for antiques and collectibles.  I think I did pretty good at it.

1.  Hank Aaron autographed baseball with stand - $15
2.  Ted Williams autographed baseball card - $15
3.  Ted Williams autographed picture - $15
4.  2 wooden asian lamps - $10
5.  wood calculator and pen set in wood case - $2.5
6.  Tiger Woods commemorative golf ball set in tin - $2.5
7.  Antique Uncle Sam Bank - $2.5
8.  1913-1915 Felt and Tarrant Comptrometer - $10

All three of the autographed baseball memorabilia came with a COA, but they are pretty much worthless when trying to sell.  The sports memorabilia dealer that consigned the items guaranteed them authentic, and said that if they are ever found to be non-authentic, they will give a full refund, no questions asked.

I plan to send all three items to PSA to get a real cert done.  The Hank Aaron will cost $30, and the two Ted Williams will cost $75 each.  I am unsure why the Williams cost so much, I will have to ask PSA about it.  Even with the high cost, it will be worth it.  The Williams card will be worth around $300, Williams picture will be worth about $150, and and the Hank Aaron baseball will be worth between $200 and $300.

Congrats Ironman.  It is nice to hear people finding new places to sell at.  I wish we had something like that where I am at.  The closest thing to that is in our Factory Outlet mall.  I can rent a space, about the same size, for $100 per month.  The only catch there is to make sales you have to be present.  It is something I will do later on when I eventually stop truck driving, but Lord knows when that will be.

Welcome to the forum.   I have been all over the forum, reading and posting, but I have not bought my first lkr yet.  I have been buying collections from individuals and am heading to a specialty auction tonight.

I like hearing others experiences with storage unit auctions, so do make sure you start a thread for your first lkr purchase.

Anyways, welcome again, and I hope to see you making a lot of posts, I need more to read on here, lol.  I have been on here for a week now, and am on here probably 2 to 3 times a day, hoping more people will start posting.  Well, see ya around the forum.

Well, sad to report, but of the few things I have tried to look up on their price guides, I have had no luck.

Also, with the boot I posted in their forum, I have had 4 people view the thread overnight and no replies.  I hope with over 46,000 registered users, they will have at least one person that can lead me in the right direction.

I am off of work from my regular job for the next couple of days.  If I do any research and find more sites to try and get prices, I will pass them along.
