The prices are because of the tv show. People watch the show and think this is an easy way to make money. So they gamble and spend lots of money cause they know it all . WRONG.

They do that here in Utah. But now due to the amount of people that are showing up a lot of places storage companys are doing there auctions on line. What sucks is there is a 10% fee that has to paid to auction company good thing is you save on gas and wasting time on junk units.

To be honest I have got some of my best stuff from the online auctions from this site. But I bought when the site first came on. Now prices there go way way to high. Here are the first couple I bought from them. made over 14 grand on this unit. had 3 pizza ovens ,sinks and warmers and a brand new hobart dish washer. great unit but was hell loading and unloading. lots of work but paid off. Have never found a big score like this since. here is the other made 2,800 on this unit

I am glad to hear this, so that even if they have several more different type of storage war type reality shows, it wont matter, people just are not interested in as much. So they will be jumping on the next BIG thing. Whatever that may be. Maybe exterminating with Billy or something, lol.

Oh almost forogt, I could actually care less about American Pckers, to me it has lost its Entertainment,. However I still love Pawn Stars. Even though I dont watch alot of it.
Have to admit I also enjot pawn stars. They did that cheap sell out energy drink commerical and that did ruin it for me. But I do dvr and watch the show when time permits.

The show wont last

And let me know if you think the bidding is out of control or about what you would pay. I have 6 of the units now at my max and am winning. Also look at the completed auctions to see how out of control these units are going for the . Also look at what this idiot paid for, for this locker. I cant if see where he came up at this  price .

Friday, August 12, 2011...

Went to 2 of 4 auctions today by the same auctioneer; here;s the count:

"Bidders".......60; 5 regulars, 55 newbies.

Lkrs.....8 at each location; nothing special. I didn't bid on one due to quality and prices; a couple I would have bid on and won 7 months ago....today prices were double what I would pay.

Here's a pic of the crowd; some are still coming out of hallway door to the left out of frame.



Here are 3 pics of a pretty nice lkr with an "older" look; this one sold for $1,100 and plenty of us would have paid $500 or so for it.







Maybe next time? Getting a little discouraged !
500 is perfect and right on the mark of what I would of stopped at. why people are wanting to pay 1,100 is beyond me. I think it is they have to win regardless

goto a live auction the day after a storage show is on tv. I did a little test and it worked! In my state we have a website ksl.com where you can post for free under the classifieds kinda like CL. But everyone goes to ksl to buy and sell stuff. As for my test I went to Auctions on ksl and looked for an live auction and wrote down the number of web hits the auction had before the show then after the show I went back to look at the hits and it was triplle. People getting the auction bug. Too many newbies at the auctions the day after the show.

Well get ready for way,way,way high prices now. It use to be buy low sell high. Now its high prices and selling is hard. Remember if you cant double your money your wasting your money. If you pay 600 for a locker you better make 1200

641
Thats awsome! So on the show they put the bigger winner as _______ but now we see the stuff really doesnt sell it sit on the shelfs and waits to be auctioned again. I love it. Great post. Thanks

naw, I think a few of them are hard headed, they keep going for that one in a million locker with large sums of cash and gold bars.
Maybe people think there is some kind of an award for the most spent on a locker for the year. To me anything over 600 should be looked at carefully cause you need to make at least 1200 on that unit to make a good profit. This is the year of all back rent has been paid on all units in america plus a better than great profit to the auctioneer.

I have been buy storage units for the past 9 years! Why can't people just be honset and say they would have never done until they say the tv show. They saw the show and looked at the person next to them and said hey this is a great idea. Whats funny is the ideas they are comming up with to sell there stuff while at the auctions. Common sense says have that plan in motion before you buy. Even the people on the scripted shows knows that. They should do a storage bors show on that. And why please tell me why bidding is so high!! Is it to become a winner while there life is loser?? But really why bid so high. Is it the idea to make money and that is why you are at the auction.

Like in my state its in the newspaper and online telling people not to support those that buy from storage auctions. They state before you buy online ask the person if this was bought at a storage auction and if so tell them you dont support people that buy from these types of people. Its stupid and you lose out on sales because of it.
