Title: Storage Industry Source to Share Survey Results on Self-Storage Auction Issues
Post by: MovieMan on March 30, 2013, 09:29:48 PM
Here's some news that will be of interest to all storage auction buyers (IMO) with (according to the story) results of a survey about what auction buyers believe about the business as it exists today.

Gee, I can't wait to read these flawed statistics..I bet it's going to go something like this.

Do you feel that storage auction reality shows have changed the business?
90% yes, 7% no 3% aren't sure. Margin of error 100%. Considering that half of the people polled probably weren't in the business before the shows came out.

Once they publish the results, we can go through them and pick them apart.  ;D

Gee, how did I guess YOU would be the first to respond....and with such clarity.

Far be it from ANY person in this business to have a PERSONAL INTEREST in how a survey was either conducted or how the results were reported. (yes, that IS sarcasm).  ;D

That's a given. Our "love/hate" relationship is well-known among the 10 or so regular posters here. If it wasn't for our give and take and the occasional barb from Alloro, StoreMe, Cobia, and some others, the reading here would be less interesting.

Finally something we agree on.  ;) Good night!

Ahh I see, you're doing this to bring more traffic to the site and make it more interesting?  What a guy!

Yep, but Travis is getting behind in sending the store gift cards, so next week I'm going to see how interesting the site is without any new threads being started by me. I think the thousands of non-posting members are going to start saying something.

Maybe they will post one news article each, just to drive you batty by depriving you of anything to do all week.
