Hello all,

I am new to these forums and new to Storage Auctions. And I thank you all for the information and responses in advance.

I have never been to one, but have been hooked on the idea since watching all the TV series associated with the business. I haven't been to a storage auction because I have not accumulated enough resources just yet. And hopefully this thread can provide me with them. I think that I have the eye for this business, and with patience I am sure I can turn a nice profit. But the waters may be rough once I set sail. Here are some things to consider.bI have an eBay account, with great history as a buyer, and I have only sold a few dozen things. I have shipping literally at my fingertips; I work at a UPS store. I see a fair amount of auctions going on around my area, and although I don't know them at all, I'm confident I can make good locker buys. I think I am going to have to stick with lockers that do not contain big furniture. I have the internet at my fingertips, good street smarts and deal-making ability in my opinion. But I am a very humble guy and intend on making honest deals only without trying to be some run-of-the-mill salesman. All of that being said I think with the right patience I think I can make it. I have doubts, but I do think that this is for me by all means.

PROBLEMS:

- Haven't set aside my padlocks and benjamin's yet 

- I will not be able to handle big furniture.
      - My car has space but it's only a two-door hatch back. I really don't want to acquire a big vehicle for this just yet. I do have good gas mileage though.
      - If I am able to borrow a Ford explorer, It will have to be long down the line when and if my family could ever accept such endeavors.

- I hope to make most of my sales on eBay, and locally. With doing the least amount of driving as possible. I am willing to sell anything that can fit into a box or double box, so long as it's feasible to ship by standards, but I can't be taking in any big furniture.

- I am currently in somewhat of a financial bind, trying to tread water with the unpaid school loans dragging me. But being in my early twenties, I do think I can use this to help.

Thanks again!

Hello everyone! Looking to attend my first auction by the end of the year. I want to set up my eBay account as a store but I don't know how to do that.

I would like to know more about the entire process in due time.

Talk to you soon!
