Online Storage Auctions / Re: Storage Battles Raising Buyer's Premium To 15%
« on: September 19, 2014, 08:33:33 AM »
Constructive Criticism - I dislike Storage Battles site - mostly.. I find Storage Treasures at best distracting..   I'm looking for online auctions mostly..

o Keep up with the email alerts you send out about the auctions ending this week I like that..   

o Give me some way of searching for unit by when they end, where they are located, Maybe even set watches for certain facilities.

o When an Auction is canceled maybe, just maybe have a way I can see which one it was. Would avoid me haveing to keep notes.

o Use some sort of ranking system for facilities, users, I'm not even sure how this will work, I'd like to see some way of knowing if the facility has had a lot of SET UP or BAD units, and if they buyer is actually paying for their units or just driving bids up and not paying for units he wins.

o Maybe since you are an auction site to begin with, I wind up with a lot of small items, could something be hosted to do auctions like ebay, where buyers could pick up locally.  something like maxanet.com offers..
 
o Maybe a mobile app, It is hard to be around when auctions close and using the website via the phone can be hard.

Thanks for taking the time to consider a few changes.

Looked really good from the pictures... that normally gets me..  I did a nice looking 10x20 unit, JVC stereo boxes, DVD player boxes, and 6 nice big storage tubs with lid.. All empty...   Really broke even if you count the tubs, and a couple pieces of furniture..   Things are Not always what the seem though..   

Good luck with your yard sale..   I love church and community yardsales the best....  Going to try the flea market sometime..  It's turning cold so maybe not this year..

You know I jokingly call the TOY Boyfriends.. or BoB (battery operated boyfriends)..  I feel for them.. I mean how would you like to go from be loved and taken care of, to being thrown into a Coach knock off purse, your new home raided, you thrown into a dumpster, along with your purse...  Assuming it was a knock off and not a real coach, where you would be evicted from it with a pair of gloves, thrown into the dumpster with dirty underwear from the same unit  or worse other units.. and the purse sold to unsuspecting people on Craigslist.

How could the woman be so heartless as to abandon poor Bob....

I'm also convinced that some of the Storage providers BID up units.. I had one that went for 430$ or so, I bid (ran it up really) to 350 and didn't want it dropped on me.  Some jerk ran up to 430 and won it, then didn't pay..  The auction site emailed me asking if I wanted it for my bid of 350..  Maybe a buyers feedback system could help. At least know they are not just bidding for the first time or something, have at least paid for a unit or two. Now if they would have wiped out all his bids I would have had the unit for maybe 100$. I would have been okay at the 350 mark except I felt I was being played..  Be nice to sorta see who you are up against if they are ligit or what.

You win.. So far...  I pulled the owners name up on google and public records..  Seems more interesting... His brother was a murder(per a google article in the papers he said hsi brother was "human garbage", he was divorced (wonder why) and not paying child support, and evicted..   

The black studded thingy McBob has me beat still though!!

IT's like anything else, start with a good thing... and then they want to gouge you later on...  People will be forced to transfer over and to pay their 10$ a month.. Maybe though, just maybe you will be able to make comments about storage facilities that are not on the up and up to people that might be buying them (I doubt this)  and maybe you can contact other buyers by their bidders name/number...  Sometimes I see one item I want but don't want to buy the whole unit...

If they do this it might be worth while to pay the 10$ a month. I hope the auction site is a tad faster and can handle the workload too!!
