Storage auctions are tough work with a lot of moving and lifting. It’s tough for someone to move all of this stuff by themselves. Just ask Gary from “Storage Wars” Almost every episode he buys a unit that contains items that he cannot lift by himself. He is dropping items and breaking things because he cannot physically move all the contents on his own. MY suggestion is to hire help. There are a couple ways to do this and I will list them here.
Offer them a
percentage.
Offering your helper a percentage of the profit will entice
them to help you find a good unit and take care of the merchandise that you acquire. They will take care of it like it’s their own
if they know there is profit to be made.
They want the money just as bad as you and will treat it as so. They also don’t have anything to lose because
they did not put up any of their own money.
Most people would jump at an opportunity like this. They are taking a chance by only getting
profit if you profit but if you know what you are doing you and your helper
could make money.
Paying them straight up
You could always offer them hourly pay like 10 dollars an
hour or so but honestly I wouldn’t suggest doing this. If you pay someone by the hour you will
definitely lose more money than if you were giving them a percentage. Think about it, if you’re at the auction for
4 hours and you’re are paying them 10 dollars an hour. That’s 40 dollars. Now, think about it like this. If you get a unit and pay 200 for it and only
make 100, you would only have to pay them the percentage. If you gave them %20 percent of the profit
out of 100 dollars that’s only 20 bucks.
I’d much rather pay someone 20 bucks for a helping hand then handing
over %40 percent of my profit. The best
way of paying them straight up is to find a good friend who just likes helping
out and offer him 10-30 dollars to come and help you move some stuff. That way, they do not feel like you are
making all kinds of money and you aren’t.
Let them know that you just need help moving stuff out of a storage
unit. Leave all the profit talk out of
it. You don’t want them getting envious
and thinking that you are money hungry and making all this money while they are
doing all the work. Keep your business
to yourself and only let them know what they need to know. Some people will be more than happy to come
out for a few hours and help a friend while making a couple bucks.
Find the help you need, don’t pay them too much, and take it
easy. There is no reason to break your
back trying to do it all by yourself.
Get help.
