6/20/15 - two local storage auctions (both owned by the same folks). Location #1 had eight rooms listed in the paper - down to four when I called Friday night, and down to three on auction day. (When I showed up I almost got run over by someone burning rubber out of the complex - must have been the 4th person paying up and getting the hell out of there!!)
#2 had five rooms listed in the paper - but was down to two when I called. Yeah buddy!
To make a long story short, it was the same old story. All five units for bid were junk, junk, and junk. Broken particle board furniture, rusty lawn mowers, trashed matresses, etc. etc. etc. The highest unit went for $200 (to the local whale) that included an exercise machine, two mid-century chairs, some bar stools (two broken) and two couches. The rest of the units were covered in dust, but also were full of garbage and NONE had boxes, tool boxes, or anything that would contain mystery stuff. It was "what you see is what you get." Two units went for $5.
Yuck.
