RE: I'm Into buying Storage Units, and yes I've found some crazy stuff!
I bought the contents of a storage unit (2 pallets of books) and made a boatload of money on those (paid $150 and made a over $4,000 dollars). But that's my only story about making money from forgotten storage units :)
I'm sure you'll have some fun stories to share! Let's hear them :)
Wow, that's fantastic. Did it take a lot of time to sell the contents of the storage unit?
The majority of the books sold in the first 3 months (I sold the books through Amazon)--I think I used to sell 15-20 books on average. And then continued to sell several per month over the course of a few more months.
Do you sell some of the content you find on Amazon or eBay?
Nice. I know how much patience that takes. I mainly sell small-box high-ticket items through eBay. I tried clothes on eBay and it was too much trouble, so I send all of that stuff to a friend who does flea markets and we split the profits 40/60.
I really do not like dealing with storage units because there is a lot of junk in some of them (and I tend to be a hoarder; and my garage is super full already), but if I found someone around me who was willing to buy any books they find, that would be helpful :)
Good luck in everything!
Btw, I'm going to share tomorrow my story of how I went from $250 to 6-figures on Amazon. As you seem an entrepreneurial person, who seems to have fun doing what you do, I wonder if that's something you might be interested in. I'll try to send you a link and get your feedback on it.
