Buying storage lockers to flip?

[Grant]

Does anyone here buy storage lockers to then flip what's inside? If you don't know, some people end up failing to pay their storage fees, and so after some time, the storage facility will auction off the items. There are many shows on TV about it. Though I don't believe they have as much success on the show, I still believe there is some money to be made in flipping the contents of storage lockers. Have you ever made money from buying a storage locker from an auction?

In our country, a business like this does not exist. In our country storage lockers, commonly called security lockers here, are provided by the banks. If someone does not pay the fee for a long time, the bank will publish a notice in the newspaper. If it still remains unclaimed bank will claim the content and then auction it. When you buy the content, you know what you are buying.

Well, I have never heard that before. However, I think that this could be a risky business and unethical business as well. Why would someone else get access to a locker and the belongings of a person? I always wonder what happens when a person dies and what happens to the items stored in the bank lockers? Does this business involve bank lockers?
