No way...

If he wants his stuff back he can afford to pay for it....if I was the guy taking risks buying storage lockers at auction there's no way I sell it back without some profit to show for my time and risk; especially to a guy who just signed a $13 million contract. It's not like the guy stole his stuff or did anything slimy.  If he was that delinquent he only has himself (and possibly the storage co. owner?) to blame.

so, anyone want to make a market on how long this guy will last before going bankrupt?

The dude who bid $1 on a cushion less couch just couldn’t stop himself?

Again, I’m not familiar with how these auctions work, but if I’m an owner of a storage facility, and someone stops paying, and then I become the owner of the stuff in an unpaid unit, I sure as hell go into that unit the very day I become the new owner of the stuff to paw through it and see if there’s anything good/valuable in it, and if there is, I take that stuff for myself.  And in this case, the second I see a gun safe (or any type of safe in any unit) I immediately take this unit off the roster of auction units until I go through ALL the stuff in there, but especially the safe.

 

Are there laws preventing what I’m suggesting above? I wouldn’t think so…I would think the same principle would apply anytime you leave an item (or items) at: a computer repair shop, an automotive repair shop, a tow yard, a consignment shop, etc.

There may be laws, or it's written into the contract, but think of it this way.  When I was renting, a 10x10 was about $100/month.  If I go three months without paying, and it goes to auction, if someone pays the storage site $2000 for the contents, the storage facility just made $1700 by sitting on a locker that only owed $300.  Plus not having to take the time to deal with cleaning out a unit and selling all the stuff is a time saver too.

You’re a good egg, Julian. Unfortunately that type of kindness isn’t as common as it once was.

Yeah, I get the profit they make, and the hassle it may take to go through/clean out these units, but.....I certainly would do a quick look for anything valuable. Like I said, any safes in there may contain expensive valuables, or cash, or gold, or jewels. Heck, some people have even stored vehicles in these units. Imagine being the owner, taking possession on an unpaid unit after waiting the time stipulated in the contract, rolling up the door, and seeing a classic Corvette in there! That would be a great day!

I’m not holding against anyone who says nope, It’s mine now I bought it, I think that’s fair. I’m saying that I’m assuming that getting an NFL players locker isn’t the norm and I’d sell it back for what I’d paid if he approached me properly.

 

 I’ll just stick to not buying storage lockers, I’m sure I’d go broke in no time.

Yes, if you sold one of your best locker purchases back to them with no profit then you would go broke in no time.

ya make a market, like a bid and an ask.

 

so like, 5 years at 10 years means you think it will be 5 or less years, but not longer than 10 years.  basically playing over under.

His mistake was posting about find on TikTok.  His laywer could try to take contract to small claims court looking for some way storage company made a mistake which would make the sale an illegal one. 

 

Some items were left in a rental property of mine and they tried to get it back.  Normally I'd oblige but they damaged the house a lot on way out with us guessing it was due to being evicted for failure to pay rent repeatedly.  We also had dated film showing damage to property.  They gave up on recovering items whose cost did not cover repairs.

 What is a good finder fee besides the costs to pay off the money if the person who bought it legally decides to sell it back?

When you’re at your next high level financial market meeting, explain to the snobs what over/under means.

lol, i wouldt call what i do high level, and everyone here knows over under (big overlap in fin mkts and betting markets)

 

all a market is is a two sided over under or spread.  when the book at a bookie (old school ones at least) wasn't even, they'd show different prices for either side of a spread.

 

normally it's -110/-110, so you risk 110 to win 10 on either side of the spread,  but when it's out of whack they'll do like -120/-105 so the juice is 20% on the one side, only 5% on the other.
