Any certain amount u usually win capping at a lot?

Half of what I think I will profit on the locker. LOL, best answer I can get you at. So far I have paid anywhere from $5 all the way to $850 for a locker. It will always depend on what you can see from the door and what chance do you want to put on gamble.

If your wanting what various lockers are going for you can read the lookey loo thread and I posted a long thread w/ pics and prices from an auction Sat. If your wondering what is the max people will pay that is all up in the air. On saturday the units I'd not pay more then $100 for went for more then that. Other units went for cheap, down to $1.

I agree with jross.Try to double your bid.Depends on what you see.Good Luck.

Well I mean like a majority of my lockers that I've won have been in the range of 4- 500. Deft half or even less if possible of what u can see of course but I usually start to see at least half of the comp drop at 3-350 wondering if uve noticed the same

I generally tend to buy units that are in the $400 price range. I like it b/c I'm not into the unit for too much, I can afford to buy a couple units if I see good ones and I'm not dealing with total crap either.
I also tend to pretty much automatically buy anything less than $40 unless its empty with a pillow or something like that, look at it like a lotery ticket basically.
I rarely go over $1000 unless its a real specialty large ticket item I know I can turn around. Construction equipt is one of these things as I have lots of family in construction and can get them a deal and make a buck myself.

Watch it with that construction equipment, its getting harder and harder for me to unload the stuff.

250-500
Some days the crowd is just way to big and the prices go high fast. If you're in Atlanta Smyrna can be a fing joke. Shows have had an effect, but going to only 1 or two auctions a week wont cut it. New people never last long anyways.

Good way to get around that is expand ur territory.

You got it. People also hold tons of certain precepts & prejudices about areas as well. I can't tell you the amount of times I hear people talk about not going here or there. I love it though!

Word. U can find good stuff everywhere in my experience. Also look for unlisted auctions
