I pull the black box out to read the label on it. I pulled it out sideways and the lid popped open and this white to gray looking dust spilled out and went all over me. I turn it upright and the box label I can barely make out. It f-ning says crematory on it.  bla bla bla remains of ......!!!! Yes I got sick to my stomach.  As I'm upchucking my wife keeps going whats wrong whats wrong. I'm just trying to forget what happened.  

Is it bad that the only impact that this would have on me is being mildly annoyed that I got completely dusted in particulate?

The fact that it was another person's remains wouldn't bother me because it was all reduced to ash. Ash is ash.

It shows some around my area (76549). I used to get a lot of results from it just a few months ago, but not so much anymore.

I'm not plugging the site, if that's what you're getting at.

can anyone give me some info on how to find auctions that other people dont know about?  specifically in okla??

Break out the phone book/google and get to calling every storage unit in an X mile radius of your location where x is the maximum distance you're willing to travel.

Repeat the process weekly.

Are you associated with this site?   If so, better get to improving it.

Nope. I've found a number of auctions on it so I thought I'd throw it out there, but it appears to have gone downhill quite a bit as of lately.

You can "feel" any way you like....that is up to you.

The people who should feel guilty are the "robber barons" of the 21st century who take outrageous bonuses of $2.5 million because they did such a good job of charging $3.99 a gallon when they could have taken a bonus of only $1.5 million and let us pay $2.99 a gallon.

Oil price isn't determined by the producers in some shady back room negotiation. It's set by the market.

If you want someone to blame for high fuel prices, you need look no further than the consumers.

If consumers rise up, declaring that they will not buy their petroleum distillates at such a high price, then robber barons will fall. But they want easy transit at almost any cost are willing to pay for it, which in turn strengthens the position of the current barons. They cannot escape this fruitless paradox. Barons will provide just enough supply so that uprisings do not occur. The consumers will remain bound.

I've been thinking the same way. Just basically get something trackable and send it out.  Been toting with the idea that says in the auction, I will send out a letter with furthur instructions on how to pickup an item.

Then they nail you with an "Item significantly not as described" claim, send your letter back, & PayPal gives them back the money.

Ah, yes. Good ol' coin roll hunting/silver surfing.

Kennedy half dollars were 90% silver in 1964 but between 1965 and 1970 they were 40% silver. I find a 40% one every now and then but the 90% ones are not out there. After 1970 they have no silver in them.

90% silver Kennedy halves are out there, just maybe not in your reserve banking area. How many boxes of halves have you searched through? I have a few rolls worth of '64 Kennedy halves from my CRH escapades. Also found a couple Walking Liberty half dollars from the early 1900s. I did go through $10k in halves the first 2 weeks I started though. Talked a local Bank of America into ordering them for me in return for signing up for an account with them.

What I have yet to come across are any Benjamin Franklin halves or any 1970 Kennedy halves. I can pull a stack of '64s so high that they'll topple over before I can find a '70. I've only seen a '70 in a coin store.

Some of the '64s I've found have been the only thing that was silver in the entire box but were missed by people who edge check exclusively because they had a band of dirt around the edge that people mistook for copper and threw them back in their dump pile thinking they were clad.

So far, I've pulled over $1000 of melt value in silver. Not bad for a part-time hobby.

The real challenge is getting banks to order you halves before they get tired of it and cut you off.

If you're going to do this without a truck, then you're going to have to avoid units that have large items and lots of junk you know you're going to have to drop off at goodwill or haul to the dump. That's going to limit you to a VERY small selection of units you would even bid on that are probably going to get run up due to the storage auction mania taking place right now as a result of the shows. The majority of units have large mattresses in them and furniture.

Your best bet right now is to be a picker. It's much simpler to do. You just look around at yard sales and on Craigslist for items that are undervalued/being sold substantially lower than what you think you can sell them for, sell them for more than you paid, and pocket the profits. If you have any ability to fix & restore things, then that is a major plus as well.

Judy why are you throwing money away???
Here clothing is a HOT seller.

Not around where I'm at (Central TX). Goodwill wouldn't even come and pick the clothes up for free. I had to pull a night op and drop them off at their donation point after hours. And there was good stuff in there (GAP, Abercrombie & Fitch, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi 501 Jeans) all in very good condition. They didn't fit me or anyone I know and I couldn't sell them on Craigslist either with pics & detailed descriptions so I just unloaded the stuff to free up space.

One more thing, if you delete my posts and responses  in this forum  and  you  allow others  to state their  feelings, I will sue you,  trust.

I don't see why you would need to preempt this with such an ultimatum as I haven't seen any indication that the administration here are a bunch of jackbooted thugs.

And even if such were the case, you would have no legal ground to stand on. Freedom of speech only applies to the press & public venues. This is a privately owned site. They can censor/ban whoever they want, whenever they want. Posting on an online message board is like buying a storage unit in the sense that you have no guarantees of any kind and have to agree to the ToS just to register.

That having been said, I do enjoy your videos on YouTube & wish you the best in marketing your information.
