May has been another total dud.

Yep, a total bust. But considering I hardly go to any auctions anymore that's not a big surprise for me at least.

And as calcoastgal said PICKING has been great.  I missed two auctions on May 30, 2013 because I dove 45 miles to an estate sale which paid off big time....buying pieces has been the savior for my monthly income as compared to regular storage auctions.  On that same trip  I hit 6 thrift stores and made some good buys there too.

HOWEVER, I will continue to start the montly AUCTION SCENE threads hoping for that day when I will have good positive reports on the local scene, and I know some areas are still having success at regular storage auction efforts...these tend to be in the BIG cities (or metro areas) where there are a LOT of auctions going on, thus increasing the odds of scoring a good one.

See you in June !

Sarahtri4.....

Looks like a 4 time triathalon participant to me ! 

Movie Man..you're right,my post here towards her was way too personal... Sarahwhatever please accept an apology.. sometimes I like to rant

Well, I wouldn't pass judgement on what you said. You don't have a personal agenda, I know that. Neither do I. I just like seeing the facts come out on both sides and letting people make up their own minds about what is "right".

Travis is representing his efforts.  Sarah is expressing her thoughts about that and Travis is expressing his thoughts about SB. Sarah may or may not have a real attachment to SB or not, I don't know. If there is transparency toward all concerned that is a start toward understanding by those who have no attachment to either side.

My presence here started before Travis was ever involved (by a month or so) and continued through a time when he took significant time out before he bought this site and made new efforts here and in other areas. My interest is in the buying/selling and reading about what others are doing with auctions, picking, selling, flea markets, eBay, Craigslist.

 

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been deleted yet, but maybe it isn't personal enough. Let the good times roll.

Give it time. In the meantime, if it bumps the exposure of this (or any other) website, it will have served some purpose in its life ! 

See my next post for more on Sarah.

Check this out.  This might be her locker which she posted on SB.  Can't tell for sure. It sold for $100 after many bids.

I didn't delete it.

I just found it in the labyrinth of the Canadian wilderness.

With apologies to our leader.
