I'm still checking things out to make sure that I don't over pay. First auction had 5 lkrs.
#1 sold for a $1 it had a 4x8 pool table only.
#2 sold for a $1 weight bench with barbells and weight
#3 4 15" nice rims and tires $155 ( I saw the one who bought them, he said they are about $250 each and will look great on his Camaro
#4 $75 old beat up couch and cheap look stuff
#5 guitar and what looked to be a mixing board $300
second auction 4 lkrs
$550 Nice looking lane loungers chairs, some good looking end tables about 15 plastic tubs closed
$750 10x20 packed looked like a whole house hold. even had a basketball pole and rim like you would see in a drive way.
$ 400 & $300.
Prices are alway higher here.

Thanks for the good report....
....and "here" is ....what state?

A bench with weights went for $1? Weights are expensive, man. Maybe you should have picked that up.
-
Even old rusty weights would of paid off in scrap metal. Its hard not being the pooper scooper of the auction world.

I am in Pa. But what I was getting at was the facility its self always brings higher bids than most of the other ones that I have been to.

#5 sounds about correct - I paid $175 for a 5x5 that had a guitar showing. Other lockers with them go for higher in your $300 range. Who ever got the weights for $1 was lucky. He can make money just scrapping the stuff. I will toss out a $5 bid for scrap many times. As for your second location that is about average now a days. In my area we have many $200-$300 lockers but full house types go for $500 - $1k. Depends how many of the auction house / pawn shop / thirft store people are at the auction.

Why would I want to pay $1 to haul away someone else's trash?

I was at an auction a couple of years ago , and there were two lockers with bar bells and an exercise machine , plus one with just a large metal cabinet and the usual crap in each .
This auction was in an old converted factory , and You would of had a really long walk out of the building , the 8 of us all laughed when He asked for $ 25 each .
He thought I was joking when I asked if that was what they were willing to pay us to take it , as it wasn't enough . The manager asked how much would be enough ? 7 of us walked out together .

Well I've passed on some $1 and $5 units since didn't see anything of value or that I liked. I have cleaned out a locker that I got for free just for the metal shelf. Of course I had just won a locker right next to it. I'll risk $10 or less on a trash locker but only if I'm already going to be at that facility and the locker don't stink to bad.
