Suggestion if you buy more than 3 units you might make some money........just saying.

 Ok, well that's why I'm called a newbie. See IF you knew anything about this business you would know that I can't buy 40 units in my first week. Once again you are proving how worthless you are in life. Keep dreaming the dream champ.

YAWN- you know what is really funny this small shyt pulled your a$$ off the sidelines, apparently this is not that small-  I really want to speak to that Bytch, how old are you since you are participating in this? 2?
'

Ah man well played, you got me!!!! I am 2. It's funny how the "great" Glendon Cameron is spending his friday night talk crap on a message board. Way to show us all of how "big" you made it in this business.

tclane I put your name in yellow like the rest of you! Where the FUC$K are you? You scared lil *****!!!  You had all of those fancy comments before, now you hide like  the coward you are. You are the reason I am here, so speak up.....

Wow, you really prove to be so much better than everyone else by calling people out on a message board........ if your so great at what you do, you could care less what someone says about you. The fact that your on here trying to start a fight proves your really "small". I doubt your the real Glendon Cameron, (or hell you could be, I don't know who the guy is.) because a real "author" and webmaster of such a great page/book. doesn't have time to spend crying like a 4 YEAR OLD, on message boards all day to people you have NEVER MEET!

Went to a auction today 15/20 bidders, I grabbed the first unit, 5X10 full of clothes/dishes and other small items. Spent 40 on it.

 the good about it.

 Playstation 1 (Yea it's sad when that is among the good.)
a lot of good books, (newer stuff in great shape, hArry potter, and some other vampire style ones.)
we kept about 2 trash bags full of misc clothes. some nicer stuff to sale
had 3 little girls dance outfits for like a ballet or something, wife said they are worth 10/15 each. (Her friend teaches at a dance school so we should move them easily.)
10 dvds
some nice purses  (one of which is called a "coach" she said its worth a little bit.)

the bad

 mail TONS of mail. Like seriously 200-300 pieces of mail, these people were in debt to EVERYONe, they owed GA power 1,100 dollars. They had debt collecters from 8 or 9 places with bills from 300 to 6000.

 Tons of trashy clothes, dirty dishes and normal trash.

   I only spent 40 bucks and will be lucky to make that back. Luckily I'm only out 40 on this one though. Better luck next week.

This Glendon guy seems to have a bad case of "Big keyboard"

Stories about Storage Auctions / Wife got her first one today
« on: October 20, 2011, 08:59:26 PM »
I had to work so I sent the wife to two auctions. First one ended up being 2 units but we had called earlier and it was 8. I doubt that 6 people paid between 8am and 10am  but oh well.

 Second one is where she got lucky. Nothing to flashy has a nice 32 inch TV in it, (Flat screen but not a lcd screen) a set of golf clubs, filing cabinent, walker, 7 foot christmas tree, coffee table with no glass. and a china buffet thing,

 She paid $70 for the locker and while nothing in there is a grand slam I think we can make all of our money back and a little profit.

A casket can be sold as long as it's empty! ;)

So I cant sell it if it's "slightly used?"

40
The lady who owns 13 units, (YES one person=13 units.) Turns out the 13 units are loaded down with items from a mortuary. (I do know that almost a year ago a local mortuary went out of buisness so it makes sense.) Heard that two of these are full of nice church pews.(Nice ones I am told and I'm sure they can sale for good money.) And the rest are items throughout the building.

  If and I dont know for sure there will be, but IF there is a casket in there can I resale it? Is there laws regarding that? Anything that might be from the place I should look for that is worth some money? Any help on this would be great.

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: How to handle...........

Most regulars have a quid pro quo type of thing.  You don't run them up and they don't run you up.  Noobies are fair game for the most part if they come in all stupid.  Now, as for this lady from the sounds of it I would be leary.  If she keeps doing that you can always turn the game around.  See what units they always bid on and run them up some.

It's like today - a few of the regulars were laughing about running each other up.  They really don't as a group of 3 of them mostly bid on the same type of units.  One of the nice units today one of the guys I always talk to won for $500.  We all thought it would of gone higher.  However, one of the regulars and myself didn't bid against him since he was the one bidding.  I've been shown the same respect and try to repay it to others.

Many of us work together.  Be it helping ID something in a locker, use a flashlight, help empty a locker, etc.  Even found out the car dealer loaned some cash to another regular on a huge unit last week as she wanted it and he didn't.  She promptly went to the bank and returned his cash.  Now - if we all like the same locker all bets are off on that locker.

I would always understate how much you make or sell something for unless it's someone your "circle" so to speak.




Well the unit she bid me up on was worth around 100 I think, and I'm not sure how much I wanted it. I guess I will just kinda wait and watch to see what happens

General Storage Auction Talk / How to handle...........
« on: October 13, 2011, 07:35:06 PM »
Other bidders when they ask questions about how much I got for a item.

The couch I got on Monday for $1 I wiped down with a cloth and proudly sold for $150. (Well actually I sold it for 100 and the guy offered 150 if I would deliver it.)

 On Wed at the auction one of the regulars who saw me get the couch for a dollar asked, "was that coach in good shape?" I told her yes the couch was nice and I sold it. She asked for how much and I told her 100. she smiled and said that great.

   Her and her husband have been very friendly and are what I call smart buyers. they bid but I havent seen them overpay.

 However after Weds auction she came up to me and said sorry for running the bid up on me. She said "I didn't really want that locker, but couldn't  let it go for less than 100." While another person jumped in late and took it from me she admitted she ran up the bid and even that she didn't want it.

  Is this a normal thing? How  do you handle this? I saw several other regulars up talking to her and her husband before and after the auction. She is really nice otherwise. Or is this just a act?

I wish it would only take $250 for a unit....Lowest unit round here usually goes for $300-500 and that's just 5x5's....people have been banking on finding gold in these units lately...

 They usually do around here, if you go the 1st-5th and the 15th-20th. the bids are high and crazy. but the 6th-14th and 21st-30th are kinda normal. Most people have spent most of their checks by then.

Stories about Storage Auctions / Auction on 10/12
« on: October 12, 2011, 06:29:28 PM »
Hit a auction today,
 5 units maybe 10 bidders with another 4/5 lookers.

 First unit was a small indoor unit, (Not a climate control) had a small tv sitting on ground, 3 suitcases, one big box with a few odds and ends. There were two small 12X12 boxes neatly taped sitting on the wall by themselves.

 I set my limit at 40 on this unit more or less just for the sake of seeing what was in the boxes. It ended up going for 50.

 Second unit was a 5X10, had a upright fridge (with broken door) blocking most of the unit. But a nice looking couch was standing upright in the back. As well as a nice coffee table.bull horn in there and a computer tower on top of the fridge. Had one or two boxes but nothing flashy.

 I set my limit at  100 and it went for 105.

 Third unit was a great looking unit.  Had a huge industrial fan that looked brand new.  Along with one of those huge upright outdoor heaters. Had 50 folding chairs with 3 maybe 4 folding tables. 2 window a/c units and about 100 carpet floor tiles. After the bidding started I stepped back over and saw a upright tool box.

 Sadly I only brought 250 with me and I shot the bid up to 200 instantly, next bidder went 300 on me so I was quickly out. It ended up going for 425, and myself and two other bidders standing near by commented it was well work that and then some, from the looks of the unit and the way it was stacked I'm sure it all worked.

 Next two units where junk, one went for $5 and one for $10. Had a metal bunkbed and old computer desk in one, the other had a washer and a old nasty couch. The last one with the couch smelt horrible inside like a racoon had peed on the couch or something.


 All in all it was a solid day, I bid on 3 units but went home empty handed. Guess that means I will have more next week.
