This was a 10 x 10. The left half is shown (front to back) in the pics. The right side of the locker was flattened cardboard boxes.

People estimated how many planters x what they THOUGHT they could sell them for and bid accordingly.

You?

I hoping that as the temps drop the people stay home in the heat. Around here, we can see temps as low as 30ish.. Although it only seems to last a month or two.. We won't see temps like that until January, but hopefully a few brisk 40ish days in Nov./Dec. is enough to keep the wusses at home.

It will keep a few away but there will be more (like you) thinking the same thing, so don't be surprised if the crowd is still large.

Around my area "winter" just means rain and the same thought prevails...turns out a lot of people will brave the rain thinking others will stay at home. One buy was so bundled up (with a parka hood drawn around his face) I couldn't even tell who it was until he made a bid !

You could do a group search and see what comes up.

OK, I'm starting to get it. Looks like you have to join a group to even see the things, or as you said start one of your own. I'll do some more exploring. Every venue helps; surprised the interface through FB isn't easier, but since it's worldwide I guess they have to organize it that way to narrow down the search.

Thanks HGP !

I don't blame Travis for deleting such drama because if new people to the forum are reading this it looks very childish and petty. Not the kind of information I started using this forum for.
Just my two cents.

In all fairness, look at the original poster in a couple of the threads which have been controversial; it was Travis.

Had they not been started (and continued) much of what you are talking about would not have occured.

As to new members reading the bickering....many won't even see it. They look for the "treasure" here just as they do at the lockers....and at least here they will find some gems relating to the business and a high dose of reality regarding what the lockers are really like.

The fact that you have one online facility down the coast (midway between S.F. and L.A.) says a lot about the current state of online auctions. They MIGHT flourish in L.A. and maybe Dallas, but look at all the vast wasteland in between. Nope, they're a non-issue for the bulk of facilities that sell and the bulk of buyers as well, BUT that's just my opinion. 

Your an idiot.
Way come to a site and post crap like that?
May a thousand donkies kick you in the A$$.
No special cupcake for you.

Well, I'm pretty sure he's not an idiot, but it WAS a bad idea to make that post. I think he's frustrated by the fact that Travis deletes some content....of course it's content that doesn't promote Tavis' views and it's content that might promote Lance's content at HIS website.

It's a two-edged sword here that's for sure. When you come right down to it Travis does have the right to take out posts that denigrate this website, but on the other hand doing that says something about the publics' at large right to express ideas.  I've always been of the opinion that people should be allowed to select what they read and where they read it.

Almost three years ago I elected to go with this website...that was when Drew owned it and Travis was an upstart selling his listing service. At that time he plugged in right in the middle of text on any number of subjects until Drew told him (and all of us) that it was OK in the signature area, but nowhere else. That pretty much holds true now as well, though occasionally there are exceptions.

I am actually a member at Storage Treasures, but if I have posted there it has been less than a handful in years. I continue to "support" Storage Auction Forums for both reading and posting simply because I have a history here and have been PART of the history here as well. Despite differences with Travis and Alloro I will continue to both read and post here because as Travis has said (paraphrasing)....it is the best option at this time... for news and views about the business and its many aspects.

Sure, I offered to trade advertising with you. What, do you think that qualifies as an endorsement? But you failed to realize that I had a hidden agenda when I contacted you. You unknowingly revealed some information that was just priceless.

Say it isn't so ! 

Did you get permission from eBay to repost their copyrighted material here?

They thought it was great that I was promoting their generous offer.

I am still waiting to see who could post 100,000 listings in the three day period they defined.

This will of course depend on your population base as much as anything else.

In my immediate area I would say we have 2 to 10 a month with usual rate being about 4 or 5. That would be in just a 40 mile radius. Expanding that out it would go up quite a bit but be a bit of a drive.
