How's this for a lucky purchase?....
 
I've been to a lot of storage locker auctions. They are a lot of fun but also risky. Usually, you have no idea if you are ending up with a bunch of junk or a goldmine.

I wonder if this guy had any clue what he was getting into when he bid on this locker....

The way he capitalized on the purchase is pure genius!

Doubt he made a "lucky" purchase since state law requires that such sales be publicly advertised in the local paper. Some require that the owner's name also be in the ad, giving them a chance to pay up and avoid the sale.

I'm also betting that the owner of the storage units knew full well WHO it belonged to. :)

Read about this on another forum, and the guy that bought the contents put up a website with photos, charging $39 for you to take a peek!

The fellow behind this reportedly pulled over a Kool Million via his sales.

Whew.

No Luck here...

As there's "Lots" more to this story!

This wasn't just a Lucky storage locker auction as per the names behind the whole membership Concept...

Great Publicity but the site is already out of business...

And bits & pieces of Free stuff all over the internet with more Problems to come...

So Not a great business idea in this case. ;)

You know you're getting old when after you watch the Paris Hilton bathtub video on YouTube, all you can think is.....

"Damn, I want a bathtub like that one!"
