The value of something is only what someone is willing to pay.

Thank you!
Wish everyone could understand this.

On the selling side too. So many times I've sold something and a friends has said it was worth more.
Tell them not to me! I want it gone, need the money, space, whatever.
Sitting on something for 6months to make another $50 when in that time I coulda used the money from the sale to turn and burn ten more items over for x-amount makes no sense to me.....

Was this a regular storage place or someplace special since it had construction stuff?

Regular storage.
Just started hitting some of my old area's where do to the area a lot of people use self storage as warehouse's.  Lot of small construction, heat/air, plumbing companies run fom home.
Good for scrap metal, wood, cabinets and marble....and tools.

Got'cha.

Thought you might be starting a Econ 96 class for newbies.   

The key to selling with them is to have the lowest price for the item listed.

That's bullsh*t.
Next you will be telling us the best way to make a profit is to buy items for less than we sell them for......

Only made it thru the first facility before I was ready to call it a day but felt good to get out there.

One went for $450. Construction unit tht I'm sure they will make a nice profit but to much heavy lifting for me. Just the stuff I could see easily added up to $500-$600 and it was packed deep.
Another construction unit was pretty empty and went for $5. Only interest was a chainsaw case, don't know if it had a chainsaw, and some old hot water heaters. Again, lotta lifting for me right now.

Only two I bid on was a 3x4, pack full.  Spotted a bag with xBox 360 cables, controllers....Saw no Xbox.
And thru a crack I could see a jewelry box and in a grocery bag a bunch of folded up Tiffany bags and ring/braclet boxes from Zales and Kay's.  From listening I heard people talk about those but nothing on jewelry box or xBox components. Was hoping but bidding went to $650 in a flash. Which for what you could see was a bit to risky for me but they will probably at least break even even if jewelry isn't there

Other I bid on was just 20 totes. I bid up to $125. Bidding kept going to $825!!
It was last so kind lingered and lady was opening totes and it was all Xmas decorations and paper, ribbons...and not collectables.
Like someone ran a Xmas wrapping booth over Xmas and figured why am I paying storage and let it go.
Got lucky being outbid there!

Anyway, was good to get out again and pleased the crowds were down. Prices were pretty good over all, inventory just wasn't for me today.  And I got on this auctioneers email notification. So that alone made today worth while.

Only good thing about being off work. Got plenty of time to wait around and let a good locker come to me! 

Okay....
Maybe, just maybe, I could have given the addy so you knew what I was talking about. 
Apparently ALSA does not get you to them.

So....

Friends wife's project.....
Dresser with broken drawer.
Tore out the insides. With staple and glue gun lined the inside with 1/8 inch sheets of wood. Put in brackets and shelves. Stained.

Depending on the insides you would have vary the process I think......but the basic idea is dresser to shelving.

She's working on another to put the old kitchen cabinet doors on the front.
