I just recently decided to check out adsense for feeds. It's not like adsense for websites where you input HTML, you actually create a feed within adsense.

I already had a feed through my blog and website, have around 100 subscribers. When I go to create my feed in adsense it asks for my origional feed address so I put in the one to which I have 100 subscribers.

It creates the feed but shows me as having 0 subscribers. This leads me to believe they created a new feed instead of adding adsense to my old feed where I already have all these subscribers.

However I thought I read something online about how what really happens is they create a new feed that basically redirects to your old feed so new subsribers will see ads but the old ones wont'

Anyone use adsense for feeds and can offer some clarification?

I suppose another question in line with what your talking about is what stuff should be thrown away immediately?

Don't get me wrong there's osmething to be said for at least trying to sell something. Heck I had some pokemon cards I was about to throw in the trash, wound up getting a couple hundred bucks for them so had I thrown them out I wouldn't have made that money.

That said I also have cheap plates and dishes, clothes, etc that I have been sitting on for a year. Alot of the stuff probably should have been tossed immediately.

I have a bit of a hoarding problem though lol. Kidding of course but I do keep too much. Every item you take out of a locker is potential $$$, even junky tshirts can be sold as car washing rags for a quarter so I hate tossing anything and not trying to make a buck off of it.

That said it also takes up storage space, time and effort hauling junk around just to make a quarter.

Intersting question you pose though and I'm interested in seeing others answers to it.

My general rule is I'll list something on ebay 3 times at decent prices, if it still doesn't sell I'll basicallyl put it up at a price to cover cost, maybe I make 0.50 cents maybe I break even but i get rid of it and I get a point on my ebay score.

I'm all for giving stuff away for charity reasons but I always hear people talk about donations as if your making money or saving money on tax breaks. Always feels like I have tons of donations but it never makes much of a difference come tax time so don't give something away figuring it's just quicker and easier than selling b/c you would be better off making cash off it.

You got some interesting articles on there tc, just read a few and left a few comments for ya.

The storage auction game is constantly changing so I think that keeps things fresh to an extent. Sure some topics have been talked to death but I always see different angles to convos we havn't had before.

Its like talking about movies. Pretty much every movie that comes out now days is another take on a movie that's already been made just a different setting, different characters, etc.

If they say they will call you guys later not in an accusatory way but maybe in front of everyone say why don't you just read them now, I'd be curious to see how far off I was if I don't win or something along those lines.

May not make you any friends at the facility but I think you can do it in a way as to not piss off the owner but also get other buyers on your side.

Even if there's 50 or 60 people at the auction which I doubt, how long does it take to grab one number, if its $400 keep throwing out papers until something beats $400, tehn keep that paper and keep tossing until something beats that. WIll probably take a whole 3 minutes to do.

Jose, this seems funny to me how the auction was run.

I love silent/sealed bid auctions and actually seek them out so I've been to MANY and have never seen it done how you described.

I have always seen all the papers opened on the spot, highest bid takes the unit. Everyone hears what the winning bid was. Its nice b/c you always wonder how short you were, gives you insight into what to do next time and most importantly you know everytging is on the up and up.

For all you knwo this guy has a buddy pay him a buck less than the best offer, storage company only loses a buck, his freind gets in for rock bottom price. Heck he could even be buying the units himself if he likes the price.

I think all bids should be read off on the spot. IF he were up to something and you heard him say highest bid won at $350 and you bid $375 you know he's pulling a fast one on you guys.

The only legitimate reason I could imagine was if there was a huge crowd and he didn't wanna sort through 50 papers but really how hard is it to flip through and just toss papers out until soemthing beats the number you have in your hand.

Something seems strange about this to me

In  my area for a while we were seeing lots of facilities start to take credit cards and certain auctinoeers had all their auctions at facilities who were taking them.

It lasted a couple of weeks and everyone went back to cash.

I can see an argument being made that those stellar units could bring in big bucks if they took credit cards however it's probably more headaches than its worth. The storage facility has to pay merchant fees, there is the possibility of charge backs if someone decides they spent too much on a unit, etc.

Also, oddly enough most of the auctions I go to don't charge cleaning deposits. I go to the same facilities over and over so they would probably waive them for me anyway since I always fully clean out and sweep my units but I'm surprised I'm not seeing many cleaning deposits.

Was just looking in the sunday paper today. For the first time in a long time I saw an auction that listed what was in units. This really turns me off to wanting to attend the auction. One did say something like 8 vending machines. Easy to flip if they are modern machines, the older ones are cheap as hell, a dime a dozen and heavy and a pain to move.

I suppose I don't mind if they list large itmes like a boat, armoir, etc things you cant miss just peeking in a unit. When they start listing small stuff and stuff that would be found in totes and things like that really turns me off as it's obvious they have gone through the whole unit.
