In response to "Looking into getting a storage locker to make room for baby stuff; any idea what the prices are like?" by Beryllium (iPhone)

Before getting one, think about what you are going to put in it.

Is there actually going to be room for that stuff a year fron now? Five years from now? Are you going to have less stuff then or more stuff? Nine times out of ten, what goes into a storage room never comes home. Really look and see if there is stuff you can get rid of.

We have an 800 square foot condo, and our closets are full of stuff ... we need the closets for baby stuff. - Beryllium Mar 11, 20:14
yep, and the cost of storing vs the cost of what's going in there. if it's furniture, it might be more economical to sell it now and rebuy whatever - Andie Mar 11, 20:09 4
- Plus, the idea that later you will have less stuff and more room later is usually is improbable, and with a baby on the way an outright fantasy. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 20:12 3
  - the goal is to get a house some time in the next two years. 800 square feet is too small for two people and two indoor cats, before a baby -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 20:15 2
    - The rent x 24 months is your equation. As Andie said, rally take a look at value and replacability. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 20:55 1
      - I would say the real reason so many storage units are auctioned isn't cause the owner is broke but he's tired of paying for that junk -- nm - z-droid Mar 11, 21:27
