Storage Auctions

**Hemi22!** · 09-17-2011, 02:21 PM

I personally like auctions. I never went to a storage auctions but auctions themselves I love. I just started myself going to them but never been disappointed on them. For both auctions and storage auctions you can look on auctionzip.com, type in your zip code and what radius you want to look and there is a lot of auctions pending where you are at. Most have pics or says what they are selling or part of it a few days before. Some don't know till an hour before but to me it never hurts to go look.

What do you generally find at them, that keeps your interest to keep going back to them?

Thanks for the url. I will definitely check them out.

Thanks Hemi for the info. I've wondered about storage auctions but never see ads for them so i always wondered how other folks knew/heard about them. I'd love to go to one just once and get to be able to say, ''YUUUUUP!!''

That being said, unless one gets lucky and gets to bid on a unit full of computers or items with engines for example I don't think they'd be useful for scrappers.

Storage auctions can also be found under the legal section in your paper.

Great point! Unless you found some killer goodies in there it would take many yard sales or a thrift shop to make any money on unpaid storage units! Think about it the "TV Show" has the guys hitting it rich all the time. Even the disclaimer reads that the show is a reenactment of RARE finds.

Someone that does the fleas or owns a thrift shop may make money on this but a scrapper?
