Came across this little shocker (for us at least) while looking at Estate sales. Was surprised when I saw that Armor Storage was going through Estate Sales, but even more when I saw who the auctioneer will now be. estatesales.net/estate-sales/502302.aspx ..Wasn't sure where to post this 

lol Cobia, you can call me Mrs. Leota Yo-Yo . :-) We are vets but tired of the high prices and garbage units around most areas. We ventured into a few more things and plan to be back when we see something that interests us :-)

I really hate douche bags that do that.

So do I!! You just wanna smack em upside the head with a 2x4! 

Leota,
Thanks for looking out. Brentwood is surprising, were they Bidding or watching?

They seem to be there to bid but didn't have much going on. Mostly junk units.

Hot Dang! I just sold a 27 inch tube television for $20.

Also, I just sold a full size mattress with a gigantic pee stain for $80. 

Thought I would get stuck with this stuff but it never ceases to amaze me what people will buy.

Have you sold any hard to sell merchandise lately?

The surprising and funniest thing we ever sold was a S.F. 49r's large bath towel. By itself if isn't strange but the story goes: The towel was purchased over 10 years ago, was used quite often and was faded. We had fragile items to take to an auction house so we wrapped them in this towel, (right before the Superbowl by the way). Anyway, we figured it would get tossed once the items were removed but, we were shocked that it actually came out for the auctioneer. We got 17.50 for it and couldn't believe it! We were thrilled of course and kept laughing and looking shocked as the bids got higher.   

Went to two auctions today with possibilities. There were four units with two owners owning two each of the units <makes sense to me>  Anyway, first went for 1500.00 and the next 700.00 for it's partner unit to the same regular. The other two went for cheap since it was broken down parted computers and electronics.  The next location had 5 units with a couple having good items. The good ones went for way too much 1k + etc. Over heard one person tell another regular that the Turkish guy that bought the high priced units was po'd because before they started posting their auction notices on the paid lists he got 5 units for 5.00 each before and that other times he would get them cheap with only maybe 5 or so people would even show up since it wasn't a known place. I was wondering why he had such a sour-puss and that explained it all.    "There's always tomorrow and tomorrow" as I keep saying for more auctions.

You know the units and auctions are bad when you have an auctioneer talk to you about all the garbage they are seeing. It's been few and far between for decent lockers and once they show up the bidding is crazy. I understand it though with regulars since they are trying to stock their shelves at the thrift stores. But I hope it starts turning around soon so more lockers are big, clean, neat and packed!! Is that wishing for too much? I think not!  .
