I guess you just never know. My picker has found lots of great things for me in the last year we have worked together, but he has certainly seen his array of busts. I think the thing to keep in mind is that can be the case when you attend a flea market, an estate sale, an auction, anywhere! Yea, a body. I guess you just never know.

A body??? Way so not what I would want to find...Actually, we did give the storage locker purchase a go years ago. We lived over in the Sacramento valley area. We were surprised at the number of potential bidders that showed up. Everything from suits to pickers to some of the owners who were going to try and bid on their units to get their stuff back. The door to the unit was opened for all of maybe 1 minute and then quickly shut. You got a hurried glimpse of boxes etc. The bidding went extremely high for what we thought might be in the unit. Needless to say we didn't feel that the effort and money spent was worth the investment. I'm sure in areas such as what Reyne is describing it is a different story all together. I agree, look at the big picture, the neighborhood, the cost of the unit per month etc. A kind of bittersweet sidenote, the couple with the little girl trying to buy their unit back, didn't get it. But the lucky winner gave the child her bicycle back. Yikes!! A body??? Way so not what I would want to find…Actually, we did give the storage locker purchase a go years ago.
