This is just too funny...  I've ran across one manager than talks, he said that one girl was really upset, all she wanted was her purse that was in the locker..  Found a nice Coach purse, had papers in it, broken cell phone, etc.. along her BOB (Battery operated Boyfriend)..  I shared with the manager, he at least got a good laugh out of it. :57:

Stories about Storage Auctions / 4 Units
« on: August 14, 2014, 07:23:31 AM »
I just got 4 units yesterday,  Baby city it seems like, Multiple strollers, car seats, toys, Even got a brand new Double Brest pump(unopend box from UPS still and sealed box inside),  now that is not something I see everyday.  Couple NICE 10 speed bikes, Grills, womens shoes (new, nice boots, shoes, etc) Huges box of vhs tapes, remote control helicopter, a speaker box and amp for a car, and some huge power cables and fused junction boxes run it with, high end wires.   I guess my weekend will be filled with Craigslist and ebay.

One unit smells like a rat died in it, haven't done more than open the door, I see 4 computers, and a nice space heater in it that will pay for the unit by it's self. Whats further back scares me.

3 of the 4 had mattresses in them, I'm so glad I'm not a tenant and can uses their dumpster.

Oh, and it never fails, in a purse found someone's favorite TOY.

He was trailerless..  Cleared that unit totally out.. It amazes me sometimes what people will buy.

Okay.. Judging on what seems to be working for other shows..   "Naked Storage Wars"  Where The teams are voted on by a panel of judges as to their style of bidding, etc.. Maybe somehow throw a survival or dating scheme..  Blurred images and all.

I'm about ready for the next run of auctions!!!  Thanks for the advice.

Also point out just because an Items is worth 1000$ don't mean that someone will even pay 500$ for it!!  An item is only worth what someone will pay.. Even on IVY's auction, people bought because it was the "Cool" thing to do.. If you or I tried this we would fall flat on most items.

I would have to show the REAL side of it..  not more stacks of boxes just left sitting after one big item was removed... Might not make the best drama, but would make it feel more real. I like IVY having his own auction to get rid of the JUNK he accumulated.  Maybe even show it on the smaller scale people like us, than can get one or two units at a time because we don't have storage space.

The Smalls.. I totally agree... I have more trouble getting rid of the larger bulky JUNK Dressers that should never have made it into storage.. and LARGE SCREEN Old school Projection TV's that are 5 feet tall and weigh a to.  I can't give them away and the totally fill a dumpster.

I like to rent one's that have furniture in them until I can sell it, at least the rest of the month (3 days just dont cut it) and plus you get a gate code to get in in the evenings!!

I just got a couple units.. Moved them into one and rented the unit..  Low and behold, I made money off a few items quickly..  Normally this would have been the end of the show.  Well then I got busy, Weddings, and Life, and the day job..  I forgot about the unit I rented..76$ rental unit a month (10x10)  okay... on the 21st of the month it cost me 110$...    I think I understand WHY people get caught up and lose their units..  Bill paid, notice to vacate the unit given..   Mental note made, "If I ever rent a unit put is on auto pay, or better yet, Don't get too busy to clear out the units as I get them"   

Makes me feel for the people that can't afford them, and makes me wonder how FAST the bill would actually go up on them beyond that.  Now it was tempting to stage the unit a little better and let it go to auction!!
