OMG !!! guess the shows are doing us in...

 Auction started at 12:00 P.M.  4 units listed, 1 left at time of Auction.
                               50 people. 4 regular
                   $850 + 10% 10X20  refrigerator, hove-around scooter, boxes, totes, looked like a lot of large pictures.  Guy that bought a lot last month bought this one was hoping he paid to much last month.

Talked to two gentlemen that this was their first auction. A retired gentleman said he was waiting on the TV crew to show up, Or at least the girl what's her name Barbie, I said eye Candie... LOL He had a lot of questions about the shows... He said do other people get units ? I said they only show the ones they have contracts with.

The next one was at 2:00 PM  4 units listed, 3 left at time of auction
                                over 60 people. 3 regulars missing the one who bought $850 unit, surprise.

     All + 10%     10x20 1/4 full misc. stuff $120
                          10x10 1/2 full stuff no furniture looked like been gone threw. $400 Noobie
  Same owner     10x10  3/4 full  rest of household of above... no big furniture. $250  Regular

First time to this chain of facilities. Not sure we will return The Manager was very chatty and said they try really hard to work with their customers. The two same owner units said they should have been Auctioned back in January.. He said some legal stuff took this long ????? 
Have more tomorrow and Friday will keep you posted. Not looking good same Auction company different facility.

very common car.. Not worth a whole lot, and if it does not run, it's worth it's weight in scrap.

Facility is not interested in being the paperwork middle man. I'm not really in the mood to deal with it for a car that might fetch 900-1500 on CL.

I fed the title to the shredder and my kid got the keys to play with.
Hey at least your kid got something.. Thanks for sharing made us all think. Something will come your way. ;)

Yep, stamps are just like cash to everyone I think....will take me a while to use up $81 worth though; I think I only mail about 6 letters a month. I also found another $6 in stamps, so they are adding up.

Could use the stamps on your ebay stuff. LOL

So, the lkr is coming out good...better than I thought. My list looks to total up to about $1700 so far. I still have about 40 boxes to go through. Also I found a dresser to go with the dressing table and two matching nightstands too...almost a complete bedroom set except for the bed.


Need to find a good contact for the antiques. Easy in our area tones of places and buyers.
Sounds like a good locker so far.
Heading out today for the first Auction runs in our area. Will post what the market is like. Only two facilities with 8 units listed more tomorrow.

Wondering where my mom was.
LOL  :D

Have seen a few like that park crazy.. Was she on her cell phone the whole time ?? We had one pull up to the unit in a diesel truck left it running and got out to attend the bidding made it really hard to hear. They were also the ones with three kids. Kids were well behaved so not that big of a pain. The truck was bigger.

Craigslist / Re: Are CL buyers really nuts or what?
« on: November 09, 2011, 03:56:41 AM »
I always meet them somewhere.You get some strange people and I don't want them to know where I live.
We live so far out by the time they get here they are to scared to try anything, we could catch them before they get out of the neighbourhood. And we have a lot of retired neighbours.. So they are home. Plus we have our storage trailer on the other side of the property so can't really tell where our home is.  ;D
Down side is selling.. Has to be high dollar for someone to come out this far.

I just found my first POD auction. Was searching other county newspapers and found the legal notice posted. Don't think I will attend 2hour drive. But I did find one.

Trying to get you on false advertisement... LOL  That is nuts. Takes all kinds... We haven't had much luck with CL lately, not a lot of inventory to sell. But I will keep this on my mind... Well really my husband does the CL stuff. And he is scary so people don't really mess with him. He lays a gun out in sight when they come out... LOL

I would consult an attorney before doing anything rash like hiring a repo man. Can you tell us what year and make of car it is without tipping your hand so to speak?
Just saying if it is legal ect. then have someone else do it. To be honest I think we would just give it back to the person or destroy it less hassle.

Stories about Storage Auctions / Re: Boycott "Buyer's Premium"
« on: November 08, 2011, 07:27:27 AM »
Have only attended one auction with a buyers premium of 10%.. The Auctioneer would wait for the door to open then stand there gaping in. Then he would start the bidding what he thought he could get out of it. Only on one did he end up where he started. He was frustrated because he did not make a lot of money that day... He still made bank but not what he wanted... LOL
So not on the boycott band wagon really don't have to be not that many near me. Would be better to encourage the storage facility to use a non BP service our do them themselves.

Correction One of my main Auctioneers said today "there are some changes there will be 10% BP but no cleaning deposit" Guess the shows are still having an impact.

South East / Re: Anyone near Lakeland, Florida??
« on: November 08, 2011, 06:53:18 AM »
Yes we are a little close to Lakeland. You can get a lot of advise poking around on here. We found by our third auction with the regulars we were more accepted and got more of a feel for them and them to us. So I know who I can approach for advise or to purchase something they don't want. Be careful going all big guns buying up things.. may get bad advise.

So what did you buy this week?

Husband said if you can take the car hire a repo company to go get it. Keeps you out of the confrontation.
Not sure what we would do in this situation. Good luck with it.
