RE: Side Hustling Ep. 11: How I Made $6,000 from a $450 Investment | How Side Hustles Evolve
Great idea on switching from buying at actions to providing a service to the buyers. Just curious though, how time does it take to buy a storage unit and get rid of all the stuff you get in it?
The actual auctions are conducted pretty quickly it will take just a few minutes for a unit to be auctioned but typically there will be multiple auctions at one facility and in many cases they will do kind of a circuit where they go to all the Public Storage facilities within say the CHicagoland area so you may go from town to town hitting like a dozen in a day.
As far as how long it takes to sell the stuff depends on how much is in the unit and how good it is. Some items are an easy sale on eBay like Bose speakers or something like that but a lot of the more household junk you either donate and take the tax writeoff or garage sale and flea market sell it all
