For some reason i have yet to buy a bad locker. Except for my first one last year that has just made a 250 dollar profit.
After that things has been going pretty damn good. Last Thursday i won a locker with a 50 dollar bid, after spending 2 days going thru itand bringing stuff home i have found out that this locker is the best one so far. I am looking at a total sale of 1400-1600 dollars from this locker, and with a 50 dollar investment thats pretty cool.
This locker belonged to a guy who was into sports and music, and this is where i am gonna make my money. On top of that he had also regular stuff "man stuff".
We are talking about studio recording equipment, records (lp's) music memrobillia, gold rings, baseball equipment, lamps, glassware, tools, toolchest, old sports posters, sports books, one special rock, etc.
All the items above are good quality stuff. Stuff like JBL, Akai, Technics, Spaulding, Time, Craftsman, Starter, etc
I just love those 20-150 dollar lockers, they are the ones i have had the best luck with so far.
I can't wait for Monday and Tuesday to come, tons of auctions going on both days.

Sunday auctions are never good
Weekend auctions have never been a good thing.
So the auction Yesterday sucked! sorry for using that word, but it was so frustrating that i kind of got ticked off.
People DON'T bring you whole family to auctions, i mean when you show up with wife, 3 kids (2 in strollers) sister, friends, etc and all you do is take up space and blocking the veiw for us who are there to buy units. That in my mind is STUPID.
Another thing that is really bad, is when someone is not following the rules, yesterday we had a lot of people who either don't know the rules or just diden't give a shit about it. When day say DO NOT enter the locker, and DO NOT TOUCH anything, they mean that. When some guys over and over walks into the units and starts to move things around, thats just wrong. But the worst thing about that is that the auctioneer did nothing about it. People like that should be banned for life from attending auctions.
Well new auction day today, i hope to get a few locker today. I am going for two units.

Friday 21st was a huge auction day.
I went to most locations this day and we ended up doing about 45 units.
This day i ended up with no units.
There was only a few i wanted to bid on, and they went way over what i wanted to pay for them.
So i am saving my money until next friday the 28th.
I have also started to make a auction calender for the rest og of the year, and omg, this will be a full time thing in the months to come.
LOL but i love it!

My last auction win turned out to be the best.
After getting everything back to my place, i have started to go thru it.
This unit turns out to be a minature goldmine.
This is also the first time i find anything gun related. A 12 rounds Heckler and Kockh magasine.
It cleared with the Shelby County Sherriffs office and are ready to be sold.
I don't know the value of it, but it might bring a few bucks.
Beside that i got a brand new in box car radiator to a 2006/2007 Ford Taurus SE/SEL.
Band new food slicer unopend in box.
Brand new HP printer
Labratorie scale
Brand new analog to digital tv tuner
Tons of tools, and 2 set of Black and decker power tools.
Brand new Las vegas slot machine.
+ all the normal stuff, like paintings, glassware, fine china, ++++
So it turned out great. I am happy with this unit.

Got two units today.
I got two units today for a total of $165.00, and it was one of my better days out in the field.
The weather was better, the crowd was way smaller, about 10 people.
Well the one unit only had a dresser in it, and i only paid $15.00 for it. So it will tripple my spending without any problems. Maybe even 4 times my investment.
The second unit was a man's dream unit, i got it for $150.00 and it has tools, New unused carparts, glassware, digital cameras, tables, paintings/prints, clothing, marvel comic magazines, ++++ (and $26.00 in cash, mostly coins )
I have not looked thru it yet, so i don't know what is in it, just took a quick look after i had paid for the unit.
I will go back tomorrow with my transport guy and pick it up.
But i can say this much, this was my best unit so far. Just the brand new car parts are like $600.00 alone
