The Auction Project

By no stretch of the imagination is making money easy. However, I did try my had at yet another money making venture today. I bought some items at a storage facility. I paid $20.00 for the items. Now I must figure out how to get the items and sell them. Right now I’m stressed beyond belief. I’m going to have to stay up all night, clean and make room for all the items I bought. I’m going to have to take off work tomorrow, find a van, possibly movers, and take everything out of that unit.

When I was waiting for the auction began, I was afraid that I was out of my league. There were 15 people signed up to look at 4 units. I thought it would be a good experience just to see how it worked.  I didn’t think I was going to win a bid. No one knows what is in the units. Everyone take a look at the unit for the first time when the auctioneer opens up the storage unit. Then the bidding begins.

My investment so far is:

Winning Auction Bid: $20.00

Pad Lock: $8.81

Time Invested: 2 Hours (Arriving until completed Transaction)

1 Hour researching moving people and prices

Total: $28.81
