Hey Hey People, does anyone know of any good storage facilities that are relatively inexpensive, clean, dry and secure! My room is overrun with my collection stuff so I need to make space.

If you're gonna stick it in storage, why not just trash it or donate it to goodwill vs. paying for it to sit untouched/unused somewhere? :confused:

maybe it's just me ... but why would you collect something (pay for it once) to stick it in a storage facility (continue paying for it)? :confused:

even if it appreciates in value, will it appreciate soooo much that it exceeds the orginal cost of the item AND the monthly expense of a storage facility? :shrug:

just food for thought. :wink:

There's a place on 235 down towards Gate 1 across the road from Veridian that I used, it was the cheapest place I've ever seen, and they give you the second month free.

That makes sense, but;

I dont own a home, so I have no place to store them other than my bedroom. Ok, this is what I do it might sound obsessive; I wrap the dolls in bubble wrap, put them together by series and put them into a cardboard box. Tape the box up obsessively and bag the box into a garbage bag. I have the entire Xena doll collection as of last week so since they are already in the cardboard boxes and bubble wrap, I'm going to crate them soon. I dont collect for value or money or anything. I collect for nostalgia and just, in general what I like.

I think a storage building is a good idea until I get to either build or buy. I dont need the biggest shed out there, just something big enough for what I have.

We have a storage unit at the one off of St. Andrew's Church Road on Indian Bridge Road called Self-Storage Zone. They seem pretty secure and were cheaper than others we looked at. They even have climate-controlled storage if you're completely obsessed. :lol:

Here's their web site: http://www.selfstoragezone.com/stmarys.htm

Prices!!!

I had no idea how expensive it was to rent storage!! The cheapest of the places I went was $55 for a 5 by 5. I thought it was around $20 - $30. I'll just keep everything in my room.

I can't recall it being that cheap at any time in my lifetime. The cheapest I ever got was about ten years ago, I got a 10 by 5 climate controlled for about 50 bucks a month, paid IN PERSON. Damn I hated that.

I can't remember the name of the place I used, but it's across from Veridian, behind the licencing place, near the gas station, and where the rentals are (because they rent trucks, too). It's pretty much a one person operation. I only needed it for two months, so I got the largest place I could get and since they give the second month free, I essentially got it for half price. I got the biggest place they had for about a hundred bucks. And I FILLED the thing.
