There is a delicate balance between spam and blending the marketing in with useful information. Like for example, if I were to mention that www.storageauctionblog.com has recently gone live and I would appreciate your opinions on how the site looks, this would probably fall into that grey area.

lol, looks like advertisement :)

In another little "hijack" of my own, I hope Drew never institutes an opportunity for "live chat" in this forum. Given the nature of some of our members (including me) I think it would be a disaster zone in live time!  ;D


lol, some how I agree

Not to try and steal this thread, I just did not feel like making a thread to ask this.

We have 1980 members on this forum, However since I been here I can very well count my fingers to the number of active users. The rest cant be spam can it? How come there is not more post?

The Lounge / Re: Bin Laden Killed!
« on: May 04, 2011, 10:46:36 AM »

I think it's probably better to have him dead than alive because if he was captured alive we would all (especially the relatives of those killed on 9/11) have to go through the agony of seeing this criminal go through the process of a trial.
In my opinion he had his trial in that 40 minute raid and those seconds of finality when our guys took him down.


With this I would have to disagree, since it goes against everything this country is said to be. Now true enough, if he is shooting, (which was reported that he was), shoot to kill, that I can understand. But to put someone to death with out trial goes against everything we say we are. Innocent till proven guilty. And dont say we have him on film saying that yes he was responsible for 9/11 and so many other attacks. (I know he did, I watched that too), but how many criminals do we have that murdered someone, or mass murdered people here in the states, turn themselves in with a full confession, but still have a fair trial. What is fair for one man is fair for another, regardless of who they are.

But like I said, from how the reports go, our soldiers raided the place, there was a fire fight, Bin Laden was killed, seems to me like self defense.

Now to address what Movieman and Ironman are saying about the conspiracy theories. We have several times announced Bin Ladens Death, then say oh we didnt kill him. For all we know he was killed one of the previous times that we say he did die. I dont watch the news all to close, it is very depressing, but I do not ever remember Bin Laden say hahaha, you didnt kill me I am right here. Except for once, the first time the USA reported he was presumed dead. But the tape was proven that Bin Laden had that video pre-recorded, months before hand. So what are we really suppose to believe?

I truthfully believe we either killed him some time back, or he is still alive and being interrogated. That is where I stand on all of it.

No kid gloves here when not letting Pakistan know we were coming...no doubt in my mind they would have let him know. Good job guys!
I thought the news team said that the Pakistan forces helped? I am not 100% sure I read that.

Tuesday, May 3, 2011....

They do it again. A 1984 Yamaha snowmobile....under a cover; rest of locker was crap furniture. Can you say setup?

Next locker...Robby the Robot, first a repro, then the original.  Oh no, Shoeless Joe Jackson stuff....these guys
have their own MINT when it comes to finding good stuff. As my old granny used to say..."take me out and bury me decent."

Hank Aaron autographed baseball!

1920 ball glove....IF Joe Jackson would be worth 15 to 20K.


I need to follow these guys and just outbid them!



Now thats a thought, mmm, they are suppose to go to Houston here soon right, guess I will head out that way :)..............The way they throw money with a SETUP unit, I should be able to outbid them. LOL

757
Nice :), let us know what that brings you. How long has this lkr been there, that case is dusty as hell.

So they did the auction twice, once for real (the first one) the next was done for cameras and the created hype? No wonder it just seems so scripted. I dont see Barry ( I am guessing that is the Collector) on every show, But I seem to always see the rest.

The only thing I do like about the show is on the part for both the Collector, and Jarrod (damn his wife looks good) get alot of lkrs that they lose money on. Both because they over look something, that has value, or they over bid on stuff.

759
Hah!  You mean the red one or the black one?  I'll scratch the paint on both!  ;D

The red one, didnt see the black one, oh that is just tarnish, thats .999 fine silver :) lol

The way I look at both of those shows is, or should I say was:

Auction Hunter: Real Guys (no script, etc) But units are staged to be more glamourous then what they really were to begin with for the sake of Entertainment.

Storage Wars: Hired small time actors, maybe a real storage vet, but everything is scripted. Kind of funny that they all (with the exception of the Collector) that they are at every auction all together, including in Las Vegas.

761
Nope, to be an Auction Hunter lkr it would have to be in RESTORED condition. I wouldn't mind getting one of those,
but didn't happen today.  Also, the tackle box would have to have had 20 vintage lures, the love seat would have to have been from the 1850s with Mark Twain's name carved in the wood.


Dont forget that 24 Karat solid gold jack :)

762
Nice :)

I am also wondering what is in the tackle boxes. And dont jsut say fishing tackle, that is an obvious. I wonder if there is any antique or vintage ones in there.

omg, are you serious. Maybe he aint so fake after all. Or it is just a way to get more revenue on the show, lol.

I am going to add this, not to be an a$$ or point out the obvious for most of us on here. If you are a fan of Storage Wars or Auction Hunters. It is nothing like you see on TV. Not every unit you get is going to bring you riches. Most of us like to go in there and double our money, (which lately is not always the case). No where near every unit not even every person will hit a Jack Pot unit were you spend $350 on a 10x10 and make yourself $5,000. It is possible, but its like the lotto. I know a vet that has been doing this for 13 years, and her and her partner have never got a unit like that.

Just thought I run a little FYI for you.

765
mmm, the ones that excite me large rooms, mostly nicely stacked brand new boxes, totes, not alot of furniture.
