Storage Auction Secrets

Discover Profits That LieHidden In Your OwnBackyard As Featured On From: Blaine Herbst Date: May 9, 2009 Dear Friend, Are you driving by a secret fortune everyday? More than likely the answer is YES, here's why... Have you ever passed a storage unit facility while driving down the road? I'm sure you've seen them. They look like buildings with rows of garage doors and let people store all their “extra stuff” for a monthly rental fee. They are all over the place these days, and more than likely you pass at least one just driving around everyday. What you may not know is that there is a fortune inside those storage units just waiting to be uncovered! How? Well, did you ever wonder what happens when someone doesn't pay the monthly rental fee on their storage unit? When someone doesn't pay their rental fee, the owners of the storage facility cut off the lock and auction off all the items inside to the public. Now, they're not trying to be mean spirited they're just trying to make back some of their rental loss and clear the unit out for another tenant. Actually, most of the time the storage facility owners don't make a huge profit - whatever the auction brings they are happy because they just want to get the unit cleaned out and make room for a new tenant that will pay the rent. In the past, the knowledge of these storage unit auctions was not well known outside of a select group of antique dealers, second-hand store owners and wholesale brokers. Recently though they have quietly become the secret source for retailers and eBay sellers to locate items at dirt cheap prices. Some go as low as $10 and some go as high as a few thousand, but on average they go for only a few hundred dollars…and that’s for the entire units' contents! Because of the cheap price these storage units sell for, you and I get a tremendous opportunity to purchase items for a fraction of their value and help the facility owner at the same time. You can sell these items offline at garage sales or flea markets or if you want to work from home you can sell them online on eBay. And because of the rock bottom prices you'll be buying things for, no one will be able to compete with you! In fact, I was recently interviewed about storage auctions on Entrepreneur Magazine's hour long radio show which highlights innovative money making ideas (Keep reading to find out how you can listen to the interview). Now, you might wonder if these auctions are happening near you. Well, the good news is that these storage unit auctions are happening all over the place - an estimated 100,000 storage units are auctioned off every month (that's a lot of people not paying their rent)! Chances are if there is a storage facility near you, they are having an auction at least once a month. Hi, I went to my first auction Wednesday and ended up buying 3 units for $125.00 for all three, and I sold over $400.00 of stuff the next day, this is great and fun. Thanks for the help!!! Jason M. Location Unknown What You Will Find At Storage Unit Auctions Probably the question I get asked the most is what you will find at a storage unit auction. Well, each auction is different and you never can tell what you'll find (I've found that that's actually part of the fun) but I really wanted a way for you to see what great items you can get at storage unit auctions independent from what I am telling you - a third party validation of sorts. So here's what I did. I went to eBay and searched for the term "storage auction" in the auction descriptions. I found auctions where people said that the item they were selling was something they got at a storage auction. Now, eBays listings are always changing but here are some of the items I found at the time of this writing. Here are some of the items from storage unit auctions that I found being sold on eBay: 1990 Honda Gold Wing GL 1500 Motorcycle 1974 Oldsmobile 442 Huge Lot Of Men's Indigo USA Jackets-290 Cases! Graco G-Max 3400 G4 Paint Sprayer Vintage Brass Carriage Clock Quickie S525 Electric Power Wheel Chair Fluke Multimeter w/Case Canon EOS Rebel X Camera With Bag And Extras Kelty Super Tioga External Frame BackPack 5 Different Soda Vending Machines Stratos 16 Foot Bass Fishing Boat As you can see, there are some really nice items listed that will easily sell for a huge profit. And they all had many high priced bids on them. Can you imagine buying a storage unit at auction that has a motorcycle or some expensive tools or even a fishing boat? Those are some good finds! Learn The Inside Techniques When I first started with storage unit auctions, there wasn't much information available. I was pretty much on my own to learn the ropes. You're going to be in a much better position though. With my book "Storage Auction Secrets" you're going learn the inside techniques to getting items for the best price (usually for pennies on the dollar) - and then you can resell them off-line or online for a massive profit!
