Just out of curiosity, how the heck did you get such a large picture on your post. Do you have magic powers or something?

As Drew said in another post, "It's a ninja thing."

Keep exploring web design and graphics usage and the answer will come to you.

Remember the saying (not exact)...."Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he will eat forever." ?  Over the years I've found that taking the effort (at least for me) pays bigger dividends in the end.

I once set a young man up with a book (and CD) on web design. After he worked with it for a total of 30 minutes he said "Couldn't you just show me?".

New to Storage Auctions? / Re: Is an auction required
« on: April 15, 2011, 11:45:58 AM »
At the auction I was at yesterday the Storage Owner told us that they reserve the right to bid on the units, however he also said that wasn't going to happen.

I have heard this several times and have never quite understood the logic behind it. IF the site mgr actually bid on a locker it would result in a couple of possible endings:

1) If the bidding continued and the other bidders stopped, the site mgr would now own the goods for whatever he paid
    for them. Logically, and legally I would guess, he would pay the site the money owed from his bid, the auctioneer
    would get his 20 to 25 percent also, and the site mgr would then need to empty the locker (or rent it to himself).

  
2) IF the site mgr knew his crowd (difficult to do with many new people there  or some regulars coming from out of town), and he was in fact just hoping to run the price up, he would run the risk of having it dumped on him.

 In this 2nd scenario it would perhaps be the equivalent of running up other bidders, and then getting the locker
    dumped on yourself. Unless it was a double-deluxe lkr, I can't imagine the site mgr wanting it that badly.

But, I have heard them say this..."we reserve the right to bid", but have not seen it happen. One mgr said the bids that were being received weren't high enough and closed the door down on the unit. What's the point in that. Leave the stuff for the next auction or keep it all for yourself?

Here's a cut and paste from the Lookey Loos Part 4 thread:

This was MY post there, but this part of it belongs here in the former owner area:

*********

Went to final one of the week today.....another bust for me.

This one had 5 lkrs.  Crowd only about 20, but some newbies who have been around for a couple of months and
doing some buying. One couple there (low-lifes from the get go) and woman was shaking her fist, "It's not fair!", etc.Yep, she was a lkr owner and got to go inside with us.

Her lkr was next to last; a 10 x 30 with the back 2/3 full of black bags and some larger children stuff. Front had some OK  furniture. It went for $425 and the crying began and then the stomping off. Oh well; pay your bills.

Mr. A thinks that "Bill" will be the new face in Storage Wars, but my thought is that their recruiting for Miami, New York and Dallas says they are going with new people in each of those cities. Wouldn't be practical to haul 3 or 4 of the current guys to those cities to have them buy lockers....that's quite a haul back to southern CA.

Typical renewal runs for tv shows run in 13 week blocks, so IF what I think is correct, we're looking at another 36 to 39 weeks of Storage Wars if it comes out that way.

Meawhile, in the West (including states north of California) the crowds and prices are still up (as a general rule).
Sure, there are exceptions and there are parts of the country where things are changing more in the direction we would like, but it will be a while yet....I believe...nothing is written in stone anymore...it's all on the internet.

Actually, I find it quite entertaining. It's like watching an old married couple. I just thought of something - have you ever noticed that you never hear in the news of an elderly person knocking off their spouse? - I guess they have just learned to tune the other person out. Just food for thought. 

The elderly couples who do kill their spouses usually do so because the other spouse is terminally ill and in pain, not for some tiff on who last fed the cat.

The problem is that movieman never reads the posts good enough, so when he comments on them he is so far off from what was said. I do not recommend anyone to listen to him, he is just a blank shot in the dark.  tragic person.

You can dish it out Mr. A but you can't take it. My belief is that the readers of these forums can make up their own minds about such things and for the most part I would guess that none of this between you and I is of much importance to them.

LOL!  Hey, where did he go?

I think someone "disappeared" him.

If you had taken te time to read what i typed, but then again, i don't expect you to read it. I said 50 and potential sale of 800. BTW i i have now sold for $305 out of that unit.  But it islike they say, when you fail at what you are doing, you have to pick at others who make it in the business. At least i get units and i make a killing profit from them. So that means i am doing something right, and your not. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

Sorry, I got lost reading the extensive item by item lists of all the things you get in each of your award winning lockers. I would put my long-term track record up against yours anyday, but as sbell111 commented one day it takes an extra special blowhard to do the job you are doing here. Yep, you're doing something right, but you're also doing something wrong....I guess I won't get an invite to that house in Norway you mentioned but I can tell you right now that if I had brought in the millions you claim from your MLM and other endeavors, I sure as shootin' wouldn't be out buying lockers for $1 and taking the freeby lkrs  just to get $15 out of them, but then that's me, and you are you. Go to it guy !

So you see movieman, it can be done. I have to say one thing regarding this. The crowd in Memphis lately has gone back to Normal, we now have at the most 20 people attending the auctions, where 12-14 are regulars. So the newbies are not busting us up like they do at your place. BUT, that does not give you the right to be sarcastic and make fun of others. In my mind that just shows what stage in life your on, and if i was gonna put a name on it, it would be kindergarden.

More power to you Mr. A. Could you continue to give us the blow by blow account on each and every item you get in a locker. It makes for amusing reading. And, by the way, I didn't learn about sarcasm until the 2nd grade...kindergarten was not that advanced.

So movieman, instead of talking down on others, why don't you go out and get your own units. Haven't seen that to much lately? whats up? can't get any units?



Like I said, I need to move to near Memphis where the pickins' are easy and every locker is a pot of gold (just like Auction Hunters) !

The last lkr was a 10 x 10, packed front to back, wall to wall, floor to ceiling. It started at $100 and went up to $200 at which time I offered $500. This approach USED to work, but no more. Hardly a pause again (I tried this a week or so ago). It got down to me and one other guy who has bought a couple. I bailed at $825 and on the count of going, going, gone came back in....I stopped after my next bid of $975 and he took it away for $1K.  He'll have fun with it...better him than me at that price.

So, the lookey loo aspect is diminishing but the new buyers who have had a taste are in it for awhile. Whittling away at this in my area is the only way to go.

At the same time I was at this one, 3 other auctions were going on 20 miles away. Also, 40 miles away the other day it was reported there were 250 at that day's auctions, though I wasn't there, so don't know how accurate that was.

If you're having fun now, you'll like even better when some sense of normalcy returns.  ;D
