It is exciting to out bid the others and see what treasures you find. Looks great on the iPad!" When tenants of self-storage facilities have failed to pay their bill, the storage facility is allowed to have an auction of the contents of that locker. These auctions are open to the public and allow bidders an opportunity to attempt to profit by reselling the items within. Before the door opens, you will see which bidders have shown up for that round. Some are nicer than others. So watch yourself when the aggressive ones are around, and buy more when they are not. Once the door opens, a timer will count down for 5 seconds. Then the bidding will begin. These auctions are part strategy and part luck. • Strategy Look at the contents of the room and consider the value of the large visible items. Does the bidding match your thoughts on the room’s value? • Luck How many boxes and storage tubs are there? Remember that each one is opened individually and the items within can add up fast, especially when you find some of the more valuable items that are possibly inside. If you think the competition is bidding too high, let your fellow bidders have the room; and at the end of the round, ENJOY seeing how much they lost on it. If you think the room is being underbid, be sure to get it. This will be the best way to grow your money. Each round has 3 rooms for sale. Once all 3 rooms are sold, you are allowed to go through and empty each room you purchased. Touch each item, box and storage tub individually to remove that item and see how the room adds up. The cost and the current value of each item removed is displayed as it is touched and a running tally is generated. Of course, you are hoping the value is greater then the cost. Rare items are hidden randomly in some rooms. Sometimes they are in plain sight. Sometimes they are behind something or are inside a box or storage tub that looks like any other. You can view your rare item collection before starting each round and should consider them a source of pride in how you have played. You start with $2,000 bidding money. When you get ahead, you put the bulk of your money in the bank. 10% of the value you have in the bank is added to your bidding money. If you play well, both these values will grow over time. The contents of every room are randomly generated. This random selection includes not only which items are in a given room and where they are located in the room, but also which items are in the boxes & storage tubs. This means no matter how many times you play the game, no two rooms will be exactly the same.
