Money owns this town...dun dun...Money owns this town...yeah, yeah.... This is a familar tune that rings through our televisions now a days. Its incredible to think that storage units have become the next generation of gold mines.
Sure, we all have seen Barry Weiss, Jarod and Brandi, Darrell, and Dave Hester take these rare items that they find in these units and make thousands of dollars on them. Most people don't realize that these exciting finds happen every 1 out of 20 units they buy. This means only the best of the best in this rat race to buy storage units are going to make serious money at it. Not to mention what do you do if you buy a couple bad units and you can't make any money on them. What then?
Unless you have a key eye for antiques I recommend that any person considering to try this business, not to do it. There are plenty of veterans in this field who have made tons of money, and made tons of connections to get rid of their stuff. Also they have no problem raising the bid on the unit and quickly dropping it on you. With people like that out there, you'll be in business one day, and they'll be buying your stuff out of a unit as your business falls on its face the next day.
If you don't believe this can happen, just take Barry Weiss ( caricature above ) as an example. If your a fan of the show, you'll notice that Barry has had a long streak of getting bad units. He tends to go after the big ticket item in every unit. This tends to happen to most people in this business. Which, I'm sad to say, leads to the end of most storage unit buyers.
Take it from me, if your good at a job then stay with it. If your dream is to rule the world buying one storage unit at a time, then be my guest....but you've been warned!
If you have your own stories with storage units, or your a storage unit buyer don't hesitate to share your story with me.
