How about that one from 2000 I just cashed in at McCarren Airport Wells Fargo ?  On yeah, I got a total of $12.50 for a fiver and a single.

Not that many people today.  These auctions were in a local paper and not listed on-line.  I really think that makes a difference.  Healthe

No doubt, and good to stick to your price and not lend to inflation !

LOL i can't bring MEL, he is relaxing in a new home up in Boston area.

But i have tons of brand new Jeans, like DKNY and Apple Bottoms, also i will bring in all the art work.

This first weekend will be a test, since this is a brand new indoor flea market (grand opening on saturaday), only thing that can be negative is that there is close to 700 vendors.

700 vendors...YIKES !   My outdoor flea has about 200 I think.

The rumor going around at the auctions today was that our local storage facilities will be trying to get SOME money from the delinquent tenants and are demanding that they remove their stuff!  So, what little money they get, it will have to do.  The only auctions will be if they are unable to reach the tenant by phone or mail.  Has anyone else heard this???  Healthe

This has been happening in my area for a year or more. Public Storage here does that. They give the defaulting owner a chance to bring some cash in (in some kind of "reasonable" attempt to pay it down) AND let them in to the locker to take what they want....they're supposed to clean it out, but some don't, and THEN it goes up for auction. Not too good a deal for we auction buyers.

Before I hear from other posters here about how bad that is, etc, etc, let me just say you would be preaching to the choir. Yes, we know it's wrong, maybe illegal and just plain bad for us, but it happens none-the-less.

Also, this seems to vary from one Public Storage district manager to another as facilities 75 to 100 miles apart take a different track on this concept.

Auction #2, Auctioneer #2, March 30, 2011.

This auction had about 85 plus people.

Five lockers: first one I thought would go for about $125 (I would have paid $50); my friend bet it would go for $300; we were both wrong about this 5x5....it went for $425!  This is why I haven't bought ANY lockers in March.

So, here are three pics: crowd, a 10x10 without much in it, the same locker with the winning buyer....see contest below for some auction guessing fun.



I just wait in the shade until the line has pretty much gone by the door...the stuff isn't going anywhere and air is fresher outside the hall.



This is a 10 x 10. After a few people have guessed what this sold for, I'll reveal the actual sale amount. Refer to this locker as THE DUMP.



I'll reveal who bought this a little later in this thread.
The buyer is in the picture just above.

Remember the song lyric, "it never rains in southern California" ?

Well, it does, and in the central and north too.

Got rained out the last two Saturdays (I don't sell on Sundays) so no revenue for those 2 days ! 

Jezz please let me know if I offend you in anyway. But its cool that you though to do that. Me never

I was just suspicious of this new member as he happened along when all the spams were coming in from one fellow who went by three names I think it was.

I could be totally wrong. We'll see if we ever hear from the euroxx again, and in what way. If he's legit, that will be good.

Going to 2 auctions Wednesday the 30th....as March winds down.

Will give the crowd and price update tomorrow afternoon.
