To the forums!!! Took about 6 months to get people on here! Thanks to everyone for making the forums what they are! Here's to another year of Mr. A getting into it with other members!! Hah

Please, no encouragement !

So, someone bites and he meets up with them.

If the lkr is in lien, I don't think the property mgrs are going to let the lkr "owner" and this
would-be buyer to go out in the yard to take a look at it (which I would think the buyer would want to do).
Maybe SOME mgrs would do that, but I would bet not all....after all the unit is probably going to sell anyway.

If the amount owed is say $552, would that "buyer" buy it sight unseen?  Might be a crappy one.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how it would even work for that would-be buyer.

i need all the help i can get.  want as much knowledge as possible before i try to buy

The best training ground (and this is MY OPINION) is the sales themselves. Go to a few and
before you know it you'll actually be bidding. You don't even need to bid to win. Just do it to see how it feels.
After that, you'll be bidding more confidently and will perhaps bid to win if all goes well.

You can expect to make some mistakes (we ALL do) and some of those you will pay for, but the knowledge
gained is part of what you pay for too.

The saying "nothing ventured, nothing gained" is certainly true in this business.

Welcome!  You will get lots of help from the TN folks in this forum.

Went to 2 auctions today; 4 lkrs at one, 7 lkrs at 2nd auction.
First auction had about 25 people...not bad.
Second auction had about 60 people...same auctioneer but later in day.

Second auction, a 5 x 10 about 1/2 full about 3 feet high...$400; mostly pvc fittings some well-used tools.

I was not the winner of any of these, but I won not doing the work !

Here's a new one and I'm going to build the list in this post. Reply #8 above is getting filled up. Of course there are many I've missed too, but I do like finding these "alphabet" members.

No specific info, but a couple of "educated" (maybe) guesses.

Plastic top....not too old.
Embossed "leather".....doesn't look extra special.

Can't stand up?  Is it possible this was a "hiking" bottle which
originally had some leather attachments somewhere for a neck or shoulder cord?
Similar to the suede wine flasks of today.

These are only some ideas, opinions, guesses....other people may (and probably will) think differently.

I'll make you the same deal I made to The Teacher:

I'll give you $1200 for half your unit and YOU get to decide which half I get. I can't go wrong on
either one of those lockers....that's how good they sound !
