Bought a locker on Thursday. Paid $300.. had a lot of boxes which was home decor and clothes upon clothes. Had a Directv HD DVR cardboard box in it. The top corner was bulged up just a bit and I caught a remote in the box, nobody else noticed, or knew enough to see it. In fact, most kidded that the DVR was "in the box!" .. Turns out it was in the box along with 2 standard receivers. That's my $300 on Amazon right there. The rest is profit.. Although it'll sell at $2 here and $3 there..

We just made "$15,000" on all this furniture and my husband still wears his Wal Mart clothes..

So today I finished up in the unit. Over the weekend I met a guy for all the insulation and much of the 2x4's. Today I went back to clean up the sofa, carpeting, and this stage which is 8'x8' and solid. I lifted it by myself onto it's side.. Big mistake.  My ribs immediately hurt. With a few aggressive shakes the stage snapped in half. I dragged the stage halves outside the unit and go to sit in the van.. Time for a break! After a few minutes of sitting in the AC a car pulls up behind this cargo van. All my doors were open and I was blocking the way.

I jumped out of the van and he immediately asks me what I'm doing with all this stuff. Told him that I was throwing it away. Turns out he's building an office and spray booth (for cars) into his storage unit and needs the materials. His unit was directly across from mine! He helps me move everything over, which took about 20 minutes and all I was left with was to sweep. He asked me if I wanted anything for it, and I was just so happy not to make a dump run and load that damn stage, I just let him have it all.

Turns out the back wall (20 ft.) was more structurally sound than the side walls. We've got it all down. Took me and one other guy 35 minutes to tear it all down. Now to get it to the dump! Got free ads up on Craigslist for all the materials. Got some hits, but it seems like people want perfect carpet for free.

I agree with you Cobia. I should have not touched it from the get go. I shouldn't have even bid on the unit. But I saw potential.. and it will make me money.. But now I'm stuck in this situation where if I want to be invited back, I have to do the dirty work. Biggest mistake this year, thus far, is buying this locker..

It's really impressive how they set it up, however, I'm not having fun with insulation and tearing down wood framing. If I didn't have to be careful, this would be fun with sledgehammers. But because I have to maintain the integrity of the structure, it's really a pain in the ass.

That $50 locker is more of a headache than it's worth. I bought 2 lockers after that and they're both cleaned out. This one still has rug on the walls, wood frame mounted to the corrugate walls.. A LOT of work for maybe a $100 profit..

This week I picked up a couple of lockers. One of them had several bootleg DVDs in it. I just threw them away. No use selling them or turning them into the cops. If I were to find a gun, I wouldn't know what to do with it.. I guess a firearms dealer or pawn shop might take it, but I'm not sure about what the law is for them to purchase guns from the public. I assume if they do a serial number check and it's clean they can buy it. I don't have a license to carry, nor am I interested in getting one. So getting rid of it ASAP would be my goal.
