I am often asked is there really anything good in storage auctions? Did you make up the stuff on the blog? Really Glendon tell me the truth. Nope I did not make up anything; in fact there is stuff I am not telling, really juicy stuff that would blow your mind!
Yes, I know if it hard to fathom some person letting their stuff go, but it happens thousands of times across the nation every week. Storage auctions are at a all time high! Just look at how many people are losing their homes!
I know one famous singer who lost her stuff, no make that three singers and you would know them by name. Lost some NICE stuff EYE POPPING STUFF!!! I was losing my mind going through the items. There was stuff with names I could not pronounce!
Felt silky too!
Famous people who make a lot of money fast are more likely to lose their stuff than you! Why you ask? For the most part they are just like you in terms of spending habits; many, not all spend it just as fast as it is coming in.
In my opinion if you had over 30 million cash and now you are broke you are a dumbass. I don’t want to hear any of that more money more problems bullshit. It is greed and a lack of control, with a hefty dose of narcissism thrown in to really skew ones perspective!
I even got one well known dudes stuff and he had it in his girl’s name! I tell you what drugs will do to your life. Such a cute girl got caught up in the would be fame of a dude that was smoking his life ( and hers) away. You can never trust a crackhead, the crack will always win!
Enough with the tease
Suge Knight lost his shit at –guess what? A STORAGE AUCTION last month, yes that Suge Knight the guy at one time who was worth MILLIONS!!!! His items went for $4900.00 I am assuming he had three of four units; this was far short of what he owed the storage company. They even sold his draws! Ina plastic baggie ( I would never touch Suge Knight draws, packing them up must have gone to the new guy!)
I know you are scratching your head, how in the hell does this happen?
It is cultural like we hold on to emotional baggage that no longer serves us this matriculates into our physical sphere like water in a flood. Even in this recession there are people paying big money to store stuff they do not need!
The case of Suge Knight is he was someone that was use to living large. He never ever thought the money train would come to a screeching halt, well it derailedl and it his stuff is now being sold or held up as a displayed.
How would you feel if someone bought your stuff , someone else wearing in your clothes, watching your dvds…..reading your love letters??? Rubbing the head of your MTV Moonman? Don’t shake your head it can happen! Just ask Suge.
“Marion Hugh Knight, Jr. (born April 19, 1965), better known as Suge Knight, is the co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records. The record label rose to dominate the rap charts after Dr. Dre’s breakthrough album The Chronic in 1992. After several years of chart successes for artists including Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg andTha Dogg Pound, Death Row Records stagnated after Knight’s incarceration on parole violation charges in September 1996.
Suge Knight’s Furniture, clothing and other possessions of the former Death Row Records‘ Label boss were auctioned off February 20th in Simi Valley, California.
According to reports, “Valuable items, like a large photo of Knight and Tupac Shakur, sold for as little as $100 to lucky bidders, who plan to sell some of the items that were auctioned off on Ebay.”
The auction was due to Suge Knight haven fallen several thousand dollars behind on his storage bill with Conejo Valley Moving & Storage. The auction generated around $4,500, according to Conejo Valley Moving & Storage’s owner, Joe Furmidge. “

I attended the auction for Suge’s stuff. Instead of selling it by the unit his items were sold individually or in small groups. One guy bought a box of clothing for about $300 and ended up with some flashy, expensive leather jackets. Suge did have some nice, brand new gym equipment (which sold for just a few hundred dollars) but the furniture was a bit on the tacky side. Goes to show you that money can’t buy taste!
Why am I not surprised! They tend to do that at moving company storage auctions ( I hate it) but I have gotten some killer stuff from those sales. Thanks Mike for adding to the conversation!
I hear ya Glendon! I’m used to picking up whole storage units for $25.00-$50.00 … And that’s what they were selling single boxes of stuff for!

On Oct. 30 I drove from Yakima (in my car) to Tacoma to get my things out of storage. I arrived at 5:30, paid my bill and was escorted by an employee so I could get into my unit. They had put the big lock on it. I knew the office closed at 6pm and the units at 9pm. After loading my stuff, I drove to the gate and punched in my code at about 9:10pm.
It wouldn, t open. I rang the mgr’s button. Nothing. I tried every code imaginable. I drove around to find another way out. I have rented from other companies and I never needed a code to get OUT! I spent the next 10 hrs in a raging storm, no manager, no food, no water, no BATHROOM, locked in their facility. There was no sign warning about the gate closure
and the employee who escorted me to my unit never mentioned it. You would think that someone would check to make sure all customers were safely out of the area before deactivating the gate codes.
