    Idk, it seems plausible to me. Why would anyone pay hundreds of dollars per month to store junk? Then they die, or end up in jail, or whatever, and next of kin doesn’t know about the locker, and bammo! You just bought a dirt bike for $300! I think it probably was an okay way to spend a weekend before the shows led to everyone going to the auctions and driving the prices of a locker up. But you really do need an eBay store, or a physical thrift store, because it’s not easy to sell 20 old toaster ovens, and a used suit.

      Some people are just really weird, I used to work for a real estate company that has really big storage buildings for rent, they’re designed for like storing rvs in the off season. Rent was something like 1000 bucks a month. One guy rented 3 of those lockers year round literally just to store Santas. Like life size Santa statutes and shit. Dude paid 3k a month for that.
