General Storage Auction Talk / Re: whats the most units you ever seen for sale?
« on: November 18, 2011, 07:37:08 AM »I'm looking at a auction schedule from destinyauction and one place in NJ has 70 units for auction. Is that normal or is that alot?
Depends on the area, I am not to familiar with teh NJ area. Here in San Antonio the most I have personally seen go for auction was 45 Lockers. However most of the time they have anywhere between 1 locker to 15 lockers for auction.

« on: November 18, 2011, 07:34:15 AM »i have about 230 dollars for my first auction probably wont buy anything tho but im hoping thats enough if i do. i live in a gated community were we have a dump that we can use as much as we want , they have a fix rate that we paid one every 4 months in our dues. also my dad can get a trailer to us for free at work. so other the gas money i think i should be good. thoughts?
$230 is pretty low, you might of gotten started slowly in this industry before the shows started to air. Now trying to start off with $230, almost impossible. You can still get lockers under that, well, tell you what. Go out and watch the process. See what bids are being placed on what type of lockers.

If there is a foul up while running the ads, and they know about it, they legally are not suppose to continue on with the auction.

« on: November 18, 2011, 07:29:23 AM »Confirming Extra Space is charging this 10% fee via StorageAuctionsUSA here in MA. Not to mention they cut the locks prior to the auction and I've heard rumors that the mangers look through the units to inventory them as well as take pictures.Its a normal practice, and depending on your state laws it may be required to do so.
I'm still pretty new with this, but I'm pretty hesitant about bidding on their lockers and so far I haven't seen many nice ones at their locations.

I seen one person use them for their winning lockers. However, I personally would not use one, unless I knew for sure I was going to have that locker done on the same day I bought it.

« on: November 17, 2011, 12:45:38 PM »Fakes do have serial numbers & I've also seen many boutiques sell fakes. Your best bet is to join authenticforum & post up pics. There are many experts there that can & will help you.
Yes, but the fakes serial numbers will not match up to the databases online that you can verify it with.

I bring my two older ones when they are not in school. 11 yr old girl and 10 yr old boy. Teaching both of them about the business as well as responsibility. Of course I dont let them touch a thing when I come across a nasty locker. And I do not let them sort things out. Never know what you will find. But they help load up the truck and sweep out the locker once we are done.

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: What Is The One Thing You Haven't Found In A Unit That You Hoping To Find
« on: November 17, 2011, 12:59:46 AM »Honestly, as someone just starting out, I'm hoping to get some items that will help me as I move forward. Handtruck, shelving for sorting/storage of inventory and I also want a rugdoctor type machine with upholstery attachments. Would be good to clean up any furniture I would get in the future.
Also, anything highly liquid would be great at this point. Precious metals, cash... anything to throw straight back into the storage bankroll.
You should easily come across lots of totes, they become very useful. Shelving should not be to hard to find. Not sure on rugdoctors, but you will come across lots of vacuums. At least I do anyway
