A few years ago, I think Paris Hilton had a storage locker sold with some of her stuff in it. An assistant was supposed to pay the bills but didn't and the unit was auctioned off. Inside were some expensive clothes and either nude pictures of Paris or a porn video of Paris and her boyfriend, I can't remember which.
Also, didn't giditgirl, or whatever her name was, earlier this year say she found the group of Star Player cards she was trying to sell in a storage unit in a coffee cup? David |

My brother bought a storage unit at auction because he could see some Nebraska football memorabilia in it...he won the unit for something like $50 and it turned out to belong to "Husker Bob" who was what people around here would refer to as a Superfan...He went to all the games and would lead his section in cheers...Unfortunately he had a heart attack and died at a game. There was box after box stuffed with autographs, programs, books, et cetera...He ended up making over $5,000 from the stuff.

The highlight of the find taken into Matt (which he bought) was a '52 Bowman Mays.
Storage units contain things that someone, at one time, felt was important enough to spend money to keep. This gives them a leg up on garage and rummage sales, which contain things that someone has specifically decided to get rid of. Personally, I like estate auctions. Someone decided everything there was important enough to keep, and they never changed their mind. |
