    I have bought a number of units...it works like this...about 70-80% are going to be small profit (assuming you buy at the right price...ie WHAT YOU SEE), 10% will be pretty good and the last 10% will be HOME RUNS.....as an example...I was bidding against a guy on a unit that had a cell phone kiosk like form a mall....could not see any real phones...I bowed out right around $400 since I didn't know if the whole kiosk was there etc...well the phones were hidden in the back...he had about $4-5K in stuff for his $400 investment. There are also some that will just put you in the hole....I bought one that was crammed FULL 10x10 unit...whole hose...no one wanted and I gambled at $25....buried in there were 7 mattresses and almost NOTHING of value...I also cut my knuckle to the bone and needed stitches while loading that **** thing up...without the medical stuff, I was in the hole from the dump run...but it was a gamble on that one.

    You just have to make sure to bid CORRECTLY and know what you are doing...go to a few and WATCH and learn...I missed on several because I didn't know what some things were (custom horse stall doors that were worth GOOD money). Anyways...that is my story. If you are smart, you will go and hand out your cards and offer to take all the computers, electronics away...just pay them something for them and they will gladly let you do it most of the time....gets that crap out of their hair.

    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell
