Please remember (to me)

Auction bidding guidelines for me, Tess Fauver

(Observe with reason, Tess; obviously, if there are piles of unopened construction toys amidst empty soda cans, to bid on such a unit would be an authorized exception to the 'no garbage' rule)

Don't bid on units that are filled with personal household items; furniture, kitchen things (even if there are rugs and tools and shoes/clothes that look like maybe my style/fit).

*I really don't want to "win" the possessions that previously made up someone's home and that they have lost for whatever reason. I think if it's the contents of someone's home, it should be given back to them, unless they no longer want the contents of their home because they somehow recently found a way to replace all of those things with newer, better things, and that is why they chose to abandon the unit filled with their previously desired but no longer desired home furnishings, accessories and necessities.*

Don't bid on units that are trash messy

Don't bid on units largely unpacked

Probably don't bid on units with disassembled bikes

Avoid at all costs basic, used, large furniture items; chairs, couches, dressers

DO ask self: does unit look like it could have belonged to a

*drug dealer (WANT)

*homeless person/nearly homeless person (Do not want)

*divorcing family (Do not want, either)

*business person owner/manager (Mehybe)

*random individual that for some reason has a storage unit with an months-unpaid bill (Probs no)

DO bid on units that have contents that are mostly packed up (in anything - garbage bags work)

DO bid on units that contain anything but typical household items; unnecessaries: shoes (the more, the better (as far as this goes)), tools, clean(er) bags, hats, computer parts
