@ Bayernscr,
"Went to the first auction at 10 am...30 people or so in attendance...The first locker looked really good...10x20 neatly organized, alot of boxes, you could see tools and "guy" stuff...Went for $850....The next 5 were all ****....and went for over 600 each.. Not one should have brought more than 100-200 in my opinion..people showing up in their personal vehicles bringing the family,"
I know what you mean. I think the cost of living is more in your area then mine, so to see obvious new husband and wife teams showing up to the auction with 2 or 3 or 4 or more stair-step kids and then dropping $1000 on most likely their first units, and then they are excited about it!!!...I just think, oh those poor souls, they have no idea what they just did!
I have seen buyers remorse set in immediately a couple of times already. One senior couple dropped $750 on a stacked 10 x 20, but there was a 10% buyers premium they forgot about. oops, that will be $825. When I went in the office to pay for my $120 unit, $132 with buyers premium, they were both shaking like they just stepped out of a swim in Lake Michigan in December!
Another couple dropped $2000 on a stacked out 10 x 30. Looking at what was in there, tons of furniture, a seasoned locker buyer with the ability to move, sort, and several sales channels would make good money on that unit, but the couple that won just stood there dumbfounded after they realized they had one. People kept trying to talk to them about the unit they won, "So do you have a moving truck and some guys to help you" "Do you own a thrift store?" They stood with thier mouths open just staring for a few minutes. We all started walking to the next door and the couple was heading to the office (I guess one 10 x 30 for $2000 was enough for the day) the guy was just drenched in sweat! Now it was a hot day, but just a few minutes earlier he was only glistening, and now he was drenched and he did'nt move the first box yet!
