Actually they showed some that got considerably less at auction then what the dealer offered. I think I counted 3 or 4 now.
One of those dealers is very well known on youtube. Troy is RedNeck Picker.

Lucky you.
Most of the auctions in my area are done by the facility itself. Only have two auctioneers that do storage auctions in my area. One of them charges 10% the other does not charge. But the one that does charge the 10% I have found does the better facilities, always nice stuff in those lockers.

I keep a few things out of lockers or picks that I do around town. What I keep, just like movieman, I take note of it on my spreadsheet.

« on: November 28, 2011, 09:07:12 PM »OK, I'll be helpful to the original poster and add that he might want to also consider knowing about:
1) deposits
2) sales tax
And again, using the search button will give you many links to threads which have discussed these topics many time over in these threads.
you forgot the 10 - 20 % premium charge some auctioneers do.

If you are going to feel guilty about getting your inventory from a storage auction, then I am sorry to say this is not the business for you.
I personally do not get all caught up in the previous tenants lives. I look at everything as either personal stuff that I will return, and everything else are pluses and minuses. Money in or money out.

lol, should of told them if you help him clean out his stuff that you will charge him for his time, either in goods, which you get to pick what you will keep, or with money.

Welcome to the Online Storage Auctions Forum / Re: abandoned unit
« on: November 27, 2011, 04:32:51 PM »Check with your local dmv. Give them either plate or VIN numbers. They can tell you if any money is owed or what is going on with the cars.
May cost you $5 or so to check each one, but so what. After that they can then tell you what to do to make them your own.
DMV would seem to be the only option if you want to sell them whole. I doubt even a scrap yard would take them whole unless you could prove they were yours.
You could part them out and you wouldn't have to do anything else.
Actually there are locals, at least around here, check in your area for them in CL or signs around the neighborhoods. They buy junk cars with or with out a title.

Yes and you can.
If you look at the ad for the facility you are going to, depending on the facilities policies, they can post the tenants name, locker number, sometimes even an address, google that information if you wish. Some people swear to it. Some dont bother with it. Myself, I dont waste my time on it. Cause it still does not tell you what really is in the locker. It can give you an idea on what you MIGHT find, and that is about it.
Now as far as the old tenant getting your information. They are not suppose to, but sometimes they do. Either by snooping around and seeing the sheet with the buyers and the locker they bought. And sometimes even the facility will give them the info. They are not suppose to, but it does happen.

Nice job, wish I could still find good estate sales here. Most of the estates here got everything according to the going market. Really good researchers working for them

« on: November 25, 2011, 04:52:00 PM »
And I saw this and thought WTF, I felt offended by your title, then I read what you said. Now I have to agree, they did pick wrongly. I am so tired ot the stereotypical crap about texas.
We do not get around on horses, we do not cook outside (unless we are BBQing), yes I have a toilet and take a shower inside, no I do not own a cow, pig, horse, donkey, etc. We have one of the biggest Cities in the USA, so yes we have actual cities, and not towns and villages. And no we dont all talk with some Texas Southern Belle Accent.
