The Treasure Chest / Re: Finally a good one

The only autographed pic is one from a preacher...lol. All of the pics where taken by the owner of the unit so they are unique. Muhammad Ali in a hospital on a gurney. I googled it and there are others of him on a gurney but not this photo. So, it is original and I have the negatives.

What's it Worth?? / Re: Handmade Knife
« on: March 28, 2012, 07:22:34 PM »
"You never know" is exactly what I thought. That's why I put the "Buy it now" price so high. This unit was full of interesting stuff but most of it is not valuable. I can only get my money back by nickel and diming. But I made enough money off of the last unit to make up for it. Hopefully, this weekend I'll get a great unit.
Thanks for the input guys and whatever you say, it will not hurt my feeling. I just think it's an interesting knife. It may be worthless, but it is definitely "one of a kind".

What's it Worth?? / Handmade Knife

Found this in a unit this weekend. Have no idea where it is from or who made it but I put a heavy "Buy It Now" price on it to see where it would go. Anyone ever see anything like this?

Hey TN_Hunter, I'm in Murfreesboro and planning on going to Tullahoma this Friday, 3/30. Auction is at 11am if you're planning on going. Would be nice to meet someone from here. I promise not to bid against you...lol, but I will bid with you if you want to partner up on a unit.

I've only won 2 units so far and still processing the one I won this weekend. I scored $240, so far,  on a unit last week that I won for $20. That was a auction in Spring Hill.

The one I got this past weekend has some very interesting stuff in it. 1-Happy Days Script signed by Henry Winkler, 2-Antique Handmade Knife, 3-couple of CB radios and a bunch of other stuff. There are thousands of photographs. Some of Muhammed Ali, Frank Zappa, Ted Nugent and a lot of other rock stars. This guy must have known somebody to be able to get close enough to get these peoples' photos.

The "Other" Job / Re: My full time "other job" is

I work for CSX Railroad in the track maintenance department. Best part of my job is, I'm outside every day. Worse part of my job is, I'm outside every day.

I won one unit in Spring Hill for $20. Bunch of Nissan 240SX parts and some Hoosier racing slicks. So far, I've sold all the Nissan parts but still have the slicks, radar detector, JVC am/fm cd player, and a brand new car polisher. Come to find out there was a Nissan 240SX fender in there that was imported from Japan and a guy that new what it was jumped on the deal for $50 and took the rest of the misc parts for another $50. All the used parts added up to over $300 but I wanted them out of my garage. Great weekend!!!

I'm Phillip and glad I found this forum. I'm new in the game and never won a storage unit.....yet! I've only been to 2 auctions, so far. I'm planning on going to 2 next weekend. One in Spring Hill, Tn and one in Nashville, Tn. I hope to find special items and collectibles. I'm only testing the waters at this point to see how it goes. So far, I've seen people over bid for the units. I only bid on what I can see in the unit and hopefully I will have good luck with this. If you live in the Middle Tennessee area please feel free to message me and maybe we can hit the auctions together. Thanks and good luck to everybody on here.
