StorageAuctions.net: We know Canada is a huge country, tell us about the longest or the strangest RoadTrip you've ever had while chasing a deal?
Ursula: Craziest road trip chasing a deal would have to be the one to Pennyslvannia acquiring the 1970's red corvette that you see me driving on the show. The vehicle was going to sell quick... my husband and I had limited time to get from Toronto to Pennsylvania. A lot of obstacles- weather conditions, lack of proper paper work, customs, Thanksgiving and making it back on time in one piece! After everything said and done - we closed the deal!

Ursula: I always tell people who are seeking advice about starting up in the locker business - first and foremost 'educate yourself'. Do your research - go to a handful of auctions before placing a bid. Make sure you understand the expense, labour and commitment involved when buying lockers. Have a game plan, how are you going to sell what you have acquired? A lot of variables involved that many first time buyers do not take into consideration.
