what a joke, everyone in the business knows the owners or managers of the storage places toss ( cherry pick) all the lockers before the put a

"fresh" lock on the unit t enhance the idea its unknown stuff.

@MURPHYJUNK Maybe you should ask the storage facilities what their lock cutting and inventory procedures are. Our company cuts locks, video's and inventories from the door, many companies follow this procedure using a seal when completed and this helps reduce those problems.

@ Dan: Have you or Laura ever had to eject a bidder/spectator @ an auction for bad behavior or interupting the auction?

As a auction bidder I don't have much patience for people reaching into the units.

Also babies belong in the nursery not @ the auction crying during the bid.

A very common Auction disrespect I see up here in the north valley (north of sacremento CA) is the loud cell phone talker. During Bidding or the Auctioneers instructions.

@tvodden We have had to eject a few people from the auctions over the years due to bad behavior or disruptions, We do not tolerate folks going into the units, as far as baby's crying... That does not bother me too much.

We have a great following. Most folks are repeat customers, some for more than 25 years. New people trinkle in and try their luck or just come to watch. Bidders each bid differently, some flash their lights to signal a bid, others just move a finger or wink an eye. It all happens in under a 30 seconds and we go on to the next one. thx for the comment

We have been extremly busy with auctions and forclosure appraisals the last few months and it has been tough to get the footage and do the editing, But we are due for another video soon, I will do some work on it. Thanks for the compliment

There's quite A bit of people that show up to bid on them units. Do A lot of these people show up every week to bid on units. It looks like a bidding war out there. Must get harry sometimes with late bids coming in?
