I had mentioned in another thread that I was going to attend a PS auction today, but after some thought, I'm skipping it.

We are in the classic inventory rich/cash poor situation and I need to focus on the sell-side. Ebay is offering free listings today and tomorrow on top of the normal 50/month promotion. I plan on getting about 10 listings up today and then using up the rest of my 50 this weekend.

It's a lot of listings, so I'll be spending most of my day working on that. Now, off to take pics.

"Say Cheese!"  

Texas legal notices require a brief description of contents and her listing stated "Appliances/Furniture."

Again, it says nothing of quailty. Could be some good pieces, but most likely old stuff that got replaced in the house.

I suppose I will find out tomorrow.

and...

Lookee here what I done saw....
a promo on SW original for SW Texas starting in March, 2012...season 2.  Yikes, season one went fast...don't know how many episodes it was, but didn't seem like more than 6 or so.

The one interesting note I have about the promo: NO MO' MOE?!?

I may have missed him, but I did not see Moe anywhere on that promo.

I know we've had discussions here on the boards about researching the defaulting tenants, but I had never bothered.

Well, I was reviewing a legal notice for an auction I plan on attending on Thursday and decided to look up one of the names just to see what I could find.

I did find her. Name, address, age, relatives living with her.

She's 64 and living with two male relatives in there 70s. She lives about a mile from me, where she has lived for almost twenty years. I didn't learn anything about her career-wise.

But, I realized. I don't want to know. It hasn't given me any indication of what kind of value I will find in the locker. Fact is, I'll still have to wait with everyone else until that door is opened and determine what I will pay for what is in front of me. That said, I think the less personal it is, the better.

Anyhow, this is the monthly Public Storage auction, run by their district manager and only publicized in the legal notice, so normally a manageable crowd. Will report in the Auction Scene thread.

You all may or may not have heard that the legendary college football coach Joe Paterno died.

I hate to sound like a heartless bastard, but all the Paterno stuff listed on ebay seems to be getting bid up pretty strong. If you guys have anything Paterno or Penn State related, you may want to list it on e-bay now.

I suppose it's something we should all keep in the back of our minds as we sort through our celebrity memorabilia items. It might suck, but death sells.

Luckily, we live in a metro area that has a substantial number of facilities just within our normal day-to-day travel radius, so travelling to find auctions isn't really a concern of ours. Hell, we've got three storage places within walking distance.

What brands are these?

Hey, Rockin'-

If you have trouble moving those stock certificates, let me know and I'll make an offer on them, based on condition, etc.

No hurry. Feel free to take your time with 'em.
