Was at an auction in Harrisburg with my brother inlaw and he overheard a lady with her husband talking to aother buyer about how they own 2 storage facilitys and after they buy units they take all the trash and put it up for auction at their facilitys....SCUM >:(

Met another storage buyer awhile back who was out west buying for 5-6yrs he was at one of the tapings with ton jones. He bought a unit at same facility as them and when he was clearing his out he watched the crew planting items in their unit before filming.

I have found silver coins a few times, but more interestingly i have found 13 roman coins in a unit and my favorite is an old mining coin used for their company store from the 1800's.

The Treasure Chest / My best unit in 2012
« on: December 20, 2012, 09:28:45 AM »
Went to a silent auction in may 2012 and piked up a locker for $850. It was a 10x20 and was packed full, so you could only see the boxes in front. From first glance it didnt look special, just ceiling high piled boxes, but i did notice a sterling silver spoon and could see the edge of an antique fire hydrant so i took a stab at it. WOW what a locker. Had 4 large rubbermaids of costume jewelry going back to 1940's, antiques galore and collectibles to name a few Coca cola trays 1930's batman and robin banks 1960's, snoopy, rocky bullwinkle, hubley cars, dinky toys, 3 pounds sterling silver, two handfuls gold jewlery, Harley Davidson items, 1960's and 70's Hess trucks, $58 in pennies yeah pennies, antique china "stored in backpacks, so 10 pieces were broke, why o why", and the list could continue for three more paragraphs. All in all I earned over $30,000 and still have alot of stuff. OH forgot the best item a 1968 Omega watch known as the moon watch due to it being worn by the crew on first moon landing actual model i have is same one worn by Apollo 13 crew, has a special seal in back for space and crystal front is actually special plastic so it doesn't shatter in space and get glass shards everywhere. The retail value is $5 - $6 K.
