Jessica’s Story
After working grueling double shifts and long hours due to staffing shortages, Jessica had a life-altering experience that made her reassess her priorities. One morning, after an exhausting 18-hour shift, she fell asleep at the wheel but fortunately woke up just in time to avoid a potentially devastating collision with an 18-wheeler. This incident became a turning point in her life.
Determined to leave the stressful casino environment behind, Jessica ventured into a new entrepreneurial path. She began attending garage sales, purchasing items to flip for profit. It was during one evening at home, while watching an episode of Storage Wars, that Jessica’s curiosity about checking out a local self storage auctions was piqued. She expressed her interest to her father, who encouraged her by saying, “Find an auction, and I’ll take off work. We’ll go together.”
Within three days, Jessica found a local auction, and with her father by her side, they embarked on their first storage auction adventure. They managed to acquire their first locker for a mere $60, and little did they know that it would be the start of an incredible journey.

Their best find to date was a $70 locker filled with bags. Inside a few of those bags were small totes containing jewelry boxes. To Jessica’s amazement, the jewelry boxes held nearly $10,000 worth of exquisite gold jewelry.
