Talk about a score!

Does anyone here ever known anyone that has bid on a storage unit and scored something rare and valuable?

wow that's awesome!!

I don't know anyone who has ever placed a bid on a storage unit.

Sounds strange...I wonder why someone would choose to place something of that value in a storage unit rather than safe deposit boxes at a bank? I'm pretty sure you can keep it private if anonymity is an issue and the bank employees allow you to store and unstore items privately (they have no idea what is even in there).

maybe they wanted access to thier items in private without the "hassle of a safety deposit. Also if the item is bulky and the owner was cheap they may not have wanted to pay for vault storage, they may not know the value of what they have, or perhaps there is some illicit reason for the valuable they didn't want to use a bank for.

i have a friend who does it here, he started after the show aired..he's yet to make any money on any of them...but he says he just does it for the thrill of finding a collectible..I guess he's the Miami version of barry
