My day job is in foreclosures and I buy storage units on the side.  The past 3 1/2 years of having a bad economy has kept me employed; however, I am ready for the current administration to leave office.  But if they do, I wonder if I will be forced to find a new line of work (which would  not be a bad thing).  Just wondering how others feel about the upcoming elections and how it will affect the units you win at auction.

rub the pearls against your teeth.  If it feels gritty, sandpaperish, it is probably real.  But if it is smooth, they are probably fake.

I am in Bama as well.  I find all my notices on Alabamalegals.com.  Good luck!

Thanks, I believe that is the case here.  There is a junk store (I don't know what else to call it).  And I think they must buy all the units in my county.   I am going to call around when I get a day off and find out.

I guess I need to clarify what I wrote....I work on the legal side of foreclosure sales.  I deal with alot of investors who flip houses.

Flea Markets / Re: Flea Market Revenue ?
« on: January 31, 2011, 07:11:58 PM »
Are there any flea malls in your area?  I paid $90 a month rent and the mall got 5% of sales, but they are open every day from 10 to 6.  And you leave your stuff there.  Just go in and restock, clean.  I had a smaller booth.  I think the larger booths were $125 a month.   

The only problem with this is that you can't watch your stuff 100% of the time.  The only items I had come up missing was costume jewelry.  My husband and I opted out of putting small expensive stuff in it.

I haven't done flea markets in about 5 years. But I did a flea mall at the end of 2009 and all of 2010.  My sales did appear to dip at the end and I was afraid I was going to start losing money so I got out of it.  However, I think my dip in sales was due to not having enough time to go and straighten up my booth, and restock more than once every week.  My "real" job and my daughters extra curricular activities  were monopolizing my time.  However, once softball and ballet are over in May, I plan to get back at it. 

I was talking to another man that had a booth in this flea mall and he was making about $3500 profit per month.  He said it was his most profitable year ever in 14 years.  But he worked it daily.

New to Storage Auctions? / Warehouse not taking bids
« on: January 30, 2011, 02:15:09 PM »
There is a storage warehouse in my area that has a public notice in the paper stating they will be taking possession of the items in the unit by today if not paid, but it also states that no bids will be permitted.  Does anyone know what they do with the items in the unit?

Good afternoon, everyone!  Just wanted to jump in and introduce myself and thank you all (y'all if you're from Bama like me) for everything you have written.  I am learning a lot on here.
