    Well, I went a couple of times last week since they were in my area. There was nobody saying Yuuuuuuup that I head:). Overall, it is not like the shows you see on TV.

    Where I grew up there storage buildings across the street, so We would go each year when they did their auctions for non payment. It was never like it was on those shows. They also usually didnt auction off the units, they pulled everything out and auctioned all the stuff off one by one.

    No, but my mom has.

    Also, I remember buying 1 storage unit and we made like..50 dollars or something overall. But we got major ripped off.

    It is still fun because the people are usually good to talk to. Hmmm, not heard of them pulling out items one-by-one. I don't think that would work well here:).

    mm...mom just bought another one. fun unloading that one. big cabinets.

    profit but....sucks nonetheless.

    and does it look like you'll make any profit off them ogre?

    idk I'm not really one to buy a storage unit and do that stuff. too much work for possible loss or marginal profit in most cases.

    Yes, there is plenty of profit to be made if you find the right items. For example, I paid $10 for a unit and found body armor.
