General Storage Auction Talk / Re: Storage Locker Listings
« on: November 15, 2011, 08:01:24 AM »
I have some few questions to ask you.


1) when a storage locker doesn't get paid for 3 months, it goes up for auction.  Is it required for it to be a public notice in the paper provided by that storage unit? 

I looked in every local paper and nada.  I was like  :-\

2) Where can i get a complete listing online for free without all the do this and that, jump a couple of hoops then pay a little bit bs? 

where else can i look? 


3) I was going to ask about the locks on the storage during auction day but I have found my answer on that one.


thanks!  ;D

1. In my area, and most, yes it is required that a notice be put in some sort of newspaper. However I do not know if all states apply this law.

2. Check out local subscription services, where are you at anyway? You can also check out storagetreasures.com. Its free, and in no way do they have a listing of all storage facilitie Auctions. The Storage Company has to pay them to list there. But its regular members access it for free. However they do list a very large amount, anywhere from 80% - 100% of all facilities in your area.

3. As for locks, glad you got your answer, you might want to invest in a few different sizes of locks. I have 2 different kinds myself. 3 with a longer hoop, then 5 with a short loop. I have gotten a few lockers where the long ones wont fit, and some that the short ones wont fit.

You should be able to research different bags online. Or maybe a female you know that is close to you can help out. I am not much for one on determining if a purse is a real deal or knockoff. However my wife can spot a fake a mile away, lol.

I know Coach and Louis Vuitton have a serial number labeled somewhere on the bag, usually inside the purse itself. Most knock offs do not have this number. And the ones that do you can still tell by checking it online to verify it being the real deal.

Eons ago when I was a kid, I remember my parents always griping about our next door neighbor being a medicine cabinet snoop whenever she was over. So me being the evil child that I was, I decided to help out. The next time I heard she was coming over, I wrangled my sisters into helping me work my marble collection into the medicine cabinet. To this day I really think she crapped her pants when all of those marbles came pouring out, bouncing all over the place. A strange thing must've happened to her that night, because I never heard of her snooping in anyone's medicine cabinet again.

lmfao, now that is funny. She got what she deserved. To bad video cameras were not the norm back then like they are now. Be funny to watch her reaction over and over, lol.

I know but it shows that it works let them put microcrap on it.  :)
Nice to see a fellow non microsoft person.

Ya but if it already has windows on it, I can get more money for it. If password protected in BIOS, take out MOBO battery. If OS password protected, break out my backtrack :)

Could always install UBUNTU on them that is what I use on my Toshiba.

Ubuntu Linux based free ware. Comes with Open Office.. Spread sheets, Presentations, and Word processor for free.  Just a thought. No Microsoft here...  :)

Most people will not buy a laptop with Linux installed on it though. I prefer Linux, as I cant stand microsoft. For the majority however they are going to want at least XP on them.

As far as selling them off for $5, even at scrap they are worth more than that.

Thanks, just created an account and a store front.

To me its just easier to bring it to them. Take a less chance of them saying they are coming at a certain time, and things get changed for what ever reason.

Flea Markets / Re: Niches...
« on: November 13, 2011, 02:13:19 PM »
This is my 2 cents on the subject. The people at flea markets that have a certain niche do fairly well. When the customer comes up it does not look like a dis organized yard sale. You can always go there and expect to find something similiar to what you were looking for.

Plan of attack on this. Discover your niche, and the ramaining stuff sell to your neighbor vendors. Yes they will make more money than you would on it of course. Cause they are buying from you on the intention of making money. However do not soley use Flea Markets as your only source of revenue from your finds at auctions or other various places.

Golf clubs in my area are very iffy. Which to me is funny since my city is a Air Force Retirement base. Also boot camp for the Air Force. Even with that it seems people in my area are not spending much of golf clubs. It is so bad that after holding on to 2 sets of clubs for 2 and a half months I decided to cut my losses and take it to a pawn shop. Hell pawn shops in my area wont deal with golf clubs. And the few that usually would deal with them, told me they have alot on stock and have a hard time getting rid of them. I did finally sell all my clubs and three bags. Bags and clubs as sets, took a long while though. Ended up donating the last golf club bag. A real nice leather one.

Just walking in the unit that far would of been grounds to get kicked in my area. Although I have seen some regulars poke through the boxes that were at the door when auctioneer was not looking.

I have seen very few that will accept CC for bid payments. Me personally though I will only bid with what cash I have on hand. You can get carried away at times when you decide to purchase lockers with CCs.
