If I buy your book, then turn around and sell the information out of it to someone else then I can do the same thing you are doing. And honestly there isn't much you can do about it.


 Honestly your just here to keep your name stirred up in the pot. As long as we are talking about you, your name stays out there, people will google you and find your site/videos/books and spend money. That's all this is.

If you think you can do partner there is $5k for you, go for it!  For the record if you took my information and put it in a book as if you wrote it, that is called copyright infringement and there is a lot I can do it about it. Look it up.

We have to stop confusing "common sense" for "easy." Something being common sense does not mean that the execution is easy.

Example: Save for retirement. Common sense, yes?? But many people have great difficulty actually doing it.

So, can we all agree that this business requires a lot of common sense while still be a tough venture to do well with?

We have to stop thinking common sense is common....I watched people for several years come out to auctions and never figure it out, which is what gave me the idea to write the book. The storage auction game is more competitive than ever. I took a few weeks to read the storage auction information out there and there is some very important business aspects missing. Fact is any  really successful storage auction hound is not going to come online and share their best practices, would you share a million dollar idea online for free, with strangers? We both know the answers is a big fat NO! Buying a unit is the easy part. This business requires a lot of HUSTLE,  you need to more clever than smart and that trips people up.

Hmm - now why does this thread read to me like someone is pissed off or scared.  I've not really read the thread about your books / youtube video but I may have to now.  I did visit your site (if it's the one I'm thinking of) and left it after 30 mins to just read the threads here.  I highly doubt people have "stolen" your ideas and posted them as your own.  Most of everything I've read in these forums, other ones, and the few $.99 books I bought just to browse are all the same.  It's the same info in different formats.  Storage Auction's like many things is just common sense.  What makes the difference is experience.  That can only be gained with time.

I really agree with acman.  It's learning what sales, for what, and to whom that makes or break you.  What contacts you grow over time.  I'm only 10 units in but I do know more now then I did back in June.  I get better each month.

Well I just settled a case of copyright infringement out of court and decided to break off 5K for the contest.  So it is a fact that folks have stolen from me.  But hey if you think that the path you are on will make you a lot of money so be it.

I'm going to say get real Glendon. 

What you have built is not possible in today's auction scene.  I'll give you credit for doing what you did, but to ask someone to replicate what took you 10 years to do in 6 months in a down economy and with idiot bidders is impossible.  The only way possible to do that in 6 months is somehow get on a new Storage Wars (insert city here).

I know I am not a expert at Storage lockers, but I know that common sense is at least 60% of this business, 35% I'd say is knowing what items will resell at and 5% is luck.

Common sense(with some learning experience) has seen me grow $400 starting cash into $1500 and another $1K to sell.  I know it may not sound impressive to you or others, but I also have a full time job, I am trying to sell items in one of the most depressed areas in the US(Michigan), and I am fighting idiots who think they are going to find a Babe Ruth sports item or Gold in every unit.

Hey this challenge was for the the folks who said they could do it "better than me"  I have always stated from jump this business was hard as hell.   There are certain business skills you need to get to the next level and all the "common sense " in the world is not going to make it happen.  Congrats on your success!

lol Ive heard that before when I was in radio years ago. Everyone loves a good backhand compliment and I can get a rise out of anyone. Its my god given talent.

LOL since you are so smart I have a challenge for you. You said you can do it better than me prove it. If you can and I seriously doubt you can, there is $5000 for you.
lets see if that God given talent will help you out!

One of the biggest things I gleam from all of the emails that I receive, blog posts and comments on my Youtube videos is “ I am not where I want to be in life” with that sentiment comes a certain pool of disenchantment with this thing we call life.It seems to me, that many people are essentially waiting until things are just right to live. Well my friend, that is a misnomer, you are living right now and by not embracing the things that truly light your passions, you are living the life of misery, one of unhappiness and fear.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.  ~Henry David Thoreau,Walden

I know exactly what that feels like, it was my life for a long time. Due to a rabid chain of events that affected all aspects of my life, I had to make a change in me, the way that I thought, needless to say the results knocked me off my feet. When you change how you think you will change your life. Now I would rather bear the pain of running my life with no pretense than to capitulate to the status quo and live a life for others than one of my choosing.  There is a high price for personal freedom, and until you want to willing pay that price you will never be free.

“Things” will often not just become “right”  you have to make things right in your life, waiting is a fools game.



If you play the role of patience with candor and vigor, you might find yourself 75 years of age with a pocket full of regrets and a foot firmly rooted in the past. Failure is not fun, it is not something I would say you should look forward too, however it is a part of life whether you choose to accept that truth falls on you, as well as how you respond to failure. On the face of failure is not a judgement, some of the most successful people in the world have failed massively.  the biggest judge of your failure, usually is looking back at you when you brush your teeth in the morning.  Many of the biggest failures in your mind, most people have no ideal about, if they did they would not care!

What you learn about yourself and life,if you can keep your wits about yourself when you step on that loose stone of life , careening deep into the ravine of “unintended consequences” could surprise you or forever extinguish that light of hope in your soul. There is a funny thing about “unintended consequences” if the results are favorable, no one is mad, if the results are heart breaking it is the worst thing in the world. What many people fail to realize ( pun intended)  on both accounts you failed!!! By applying that same eye of acceptance to the failure that yielded something unintended, the event that had you  grabbing  the results with both hands in a death clutch….if you stop beating yourself up and breath and learn from the “unintended consequences”, you will soon find yourself with the results and benefits you desire.

 

One thing we can all agree on is we want to make money!!Maybe we should put our energy into that.Good luck to all of us!!!

One of the truest things said to date!!!
