First auction today

I went to my first auction today.  They had 16 units.  I bought 1 for $20.  After everything is done I expect to triple my money.   $10 box of housewares, $10 box of clothes, and the Big item is on on ebay: a Black leather Cougar coat.  It's on eBay right now, so if it goes for $50 I'll triple my money.  The more it goes up, the more i will make off of this unit.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting your feet wet by starting small and working your way up.

I goto another auction on  March, 10, 2012

Good Luck!!!

I went to another auction on March 20, 2012. I got 2 units for $150.00, and what was inside was quite a selection!  We found household items, furniture, a marble-top side table, an upright piano that needed a little TLC, a bunch of TVs (two large flatscreen that were saleable, three old ones that got e-cycled), upwards of a dozen leather coats, and even an old wool trench coat that turned out to be a Cold War era Swiss Army trench coat!  It took FOUR trailer loads to get everything home, and one load of falling-apart particle board furniture went straight to the landfill-we're not even messing with that junk!  So far we've made $130 off some of the furniture from the units, and we look to make about $500 just off the furniture and household items-this is even before the leather coats and the Swiss military coat get sold!

Sounds great.

2 lockers for $150 is really great. Easy to make a profit when you don't have to spend too much.

Should post your auction buys on the Auction Scene thread will give a lot of encouragement, no one finding those kind of prices on lockers. 

Good luck with the coats.

yea they only ben going as high as $1,900

Great, are you sure? Wouldn't them being great deals be determined by the resale value of the contents?

Yes and from the description sounds like he will do well on the contents.
