haha  LMAO  Nice!  Thanks

and I'm now a JR MEMBER (after this fluff post)  lol

Land of the free, home of the brave. Be brave TreasureHawk...drop your ticket link in every thread ! 

Haha...no ...actually I'm starting a subscription based service where I tell my users about auctions only I know about and no one else on earth knows about...not even the facilities.

They all take place after 1am, I cut the locks off random units at random facilities and the highest bidder pays me

They must have the unit broom swept clean before sun up and we are good to go

GrandTheftStorageAuctions.com   LMAO

Yeah, I know the feeling.  I still get it on every purchase, even 8 years later.  It's like getting a good winning hand in Blackjack.......usually.  Sometimes there's a little "buyers remorse"!  LOL

I hear ya....   I would probably be more prone to buyers remorse on the higher dollar units....I saw a sweet one go for over $1900 but there needs to be lots of goodies at that number to double your cash....

It is just human nature to want to second guess your decision making ex post facto..haha  but the high is fun...it can be addicting....I can see that for sure....



 

regardless of all the link dropping....I think lane is the only person on this forum from Houston...haha

I guess there are allot of lurkers who don;t register or post but still ...being that this forum is new.....15 links to anything will probably not even help in the backlinks department on google, let alone generate massive subscription sales.

In my opinion, if your going to call 1,400 storage facilities a week....you would make allot more money just using the information yourself and going to the least known of the auctions and buying lockers to resell....

Oh...By the way...I own   TicketTap.com   and I strongly suggest that all of you buy all of your event tickets there....MLB, March Madness, Concerts, Theater, Kentucky Derby.....you name it  LMAO

 
 

Hey....all very good suggestions and really well thought out responses by everyone in this thread

Now this forum is cooking with gas!  haha

Oh, and by the way....I POPPED MY CHERRY Today.... I found out (just by it occurring) that most all the bidders on this circuit are only interested in "Individual" or residential type units

They roll up the door on one and it is an entire Real Estate companies offices...HON filing cabinets...nice desks...office chairs...and it is ONLY me and one other guy bidding.....I got the unit for $160

We move to the next facility and the same thing happens door goes up only this time it was an absolute metric ton of office furniture...I could see at least 4 executive desks and about 6 or 7 HON filing cabinets...plus like 300 dollar huge commercial silk trees, artwork ....both packed full

this crowd seemed not to know how to process the business stuff...and me and the guy go at it again...win that one for $300...

When doing the paperwork...I see that the tenant was Hannah Barlottea Homes....who is a well known, very high end custom home builder here in town.....  this unit was so full to the brim I couldn't even get in it at all to see everything...but based on HB Homes and the mansions they build...I bet it will all be sweet!

I know most businesses are going out of business and not into business but over the years, I have always done REALLY well with nicer quality office furniture....especially HON filing cabinets.....Craigslist has a ton of surfers in the business (goods) for sale section and everything will sell there....for a price

I can't imagine not at least doubling my money on these 2 units as they are both full and clean...

Now I just need to move this ton of stuff to my place and the fun begins....one filing cabinet and one of the desks are already presold to guys I know so looks like I'm in the business for a while anyway...haha

Just really strange that this entire crowd would go to war with one another over old TVs and dirty rugs and bit those units up to 600 or 700 but walk away cold from high end office stuff....bizzare  haha
  

Well, the flea along with eBay is one of my big money-makers and I don't sell "crap" there. A bad day at the flea is $300 and IT DOES HAPPEN, but a $650 or $1,000 day isn't bad either.  Where did you intend to sell?

Wow....down here, we tried the local fleas numerous times over the past few years (even right before xmas) often with homegoods from Macys trailers we bought and we didnt even sell $50 worth all day
and I am talking selling stuff for a few bucks that is worth 20 or more

I have always done well with "better goods" on craigslist  I've liquidated entire households and offices on there for big gains and met some pretty good buyers

I was going to focus on online sales with CL and ebay and they consigning the rest of the stuff to thrift type stores....I've called on 3 or 4 and all of the are interested in looking at goods and either buying them outright or taking them on consignment

I guess maybe I should revisit the fleas but I have heard that up north and in CA they are allot stronger than in FL??
