I just finished compiling auctions for the next few weeks (I do it roughly 2-3 times a week), and WHOA! There are 28 auctions over the next 14 days. The busiest times for us each month are always the last week of the month and the first week of the following month, as that is when most auctions are scheduled. (There are some in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of the month, just not nearly as many). But this is just wild. It's obvious that the summer months did very well for us auction hunters and not nearly so well for the storage unit tenants-- not sure if it's summer vacations that kept people from paying their bills or if this is just a coincidence, but it definitely bodes well for us. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the units are for non-returning college students. It's about the right time of year for that.
These auctions are all public notice, and can be found in any newspaper or even in Craigslist, but I have all 28 auctions compiled and will be selling the list to anyone who is interested for a low, low price of $5.00. You certainly don't have to pay -- you can find it yourself, but if you're someone who doesn't like to do your own legwork, that offer is certainly open to you. I will no longer be e-mailing readers and fans of this blog this information for free, so don't even ask. I didn't ask you to do my homework in school, you shouldn't ask me to do your homework now. But, if you want to paypal me, you'll have the list e-mailed to you in seconds. You can also try looking at http://www.storagetreasures.com for additional listings or if you live in a different area than mine.
Also of note is that we purchased unit #49 a few days ago, so we will be up for #50 VERY soon! I'm not sure what we will do when that happens, but there will at least be some sort of special blog post so stay tuned. Maybe there will even be another re-enactment!
Time for bed! I have to get my rest for the craziness that is ahead!

Oh, PS - speaking of craziness... check out this postcard Brian found the other day while doing a dig (he VERY rarely digs through "junk drawer boxes" himself, but he did it this time and it certainly paid off!) :
and the back of the postcard, which says: Why is Daddy In a Dress? Answering Awkward Questions with Baby Animals
We buy storage lockers at public auction and sell the contents. These are the stories of our day-to-day fun with that! You'll find general information on how storage units get repossessed (and sold), stories from auction, pictures and stories of our digs (when we open up the contents of the unit), actual letters found in storage units and so so much more! Watch out Storage Wars & Auction Hunters... there are new storage heroes in town!
