Stories about Storage Auctions / Ripoff auction
« on: May 02, 2011, 09:15:50 AM »
Went to an auction in Athens, Ga. on Saturday.
This establishment was owned & operated by two men of Middle Eastern origins. ::)
Every locker that they took us to, had already been unlocked that morning.
There were seven units, even though the paper only listed 6. There was NOTHING of value in any of the units. The units that did have furniture in them, were packed so poorly, that it was obvious that things were just thrown in. I mean thrown in, in such a way, that the furniture was damaged.
One unit had a Vizio 46" LCD TV box in it. Closer inspection with a flashlight, showed that the box was empty. Who stores an empty TV box?
It was so obvious, that these units had been rummaged through & picked clean.
I was fairly pissed when we left. What a waste of time!

New to Storage Auctions? / Auctions in bad weather?

Supposed to attend an auction tomorrow, and they are calling for severe thunderstorms.
Has anyone found days like that, to be better than nice days, with smaller turn outs & competition?
Hoping for a good buy or two tomorrow! It's been 1 1/2 weeks since our last sale. I'm fired up!!! ;D

Stories about Storage Auctions / 15 bins for $200 total!
« on: April 14, 2011, 02:26:25 PM »
Went to a "PODS" type auction last Saturday. They had about 19 crates to sell.
The 1st 4 had household items in them & went for way too much $$.
The last 15 crates were sold as a set. They were full of Herman Miller cubicles, desks, & chairs.
I threw out a $100 bid. someone else came back with $150. I went to $200 & got it!
This is literally a tractor trailer load of office furniture. The kind folks at the auction site, were good enough to give me 1 week to get it gone.
I got really excited when we inventoried what we had, & estimated the retail value to be about $250k! Only problem, was that noboby wanted it!
I found a reputable used office furniture dealer to give me $500 for everything.
It won't exactly put my kids through college, but we made a quick $300 profit & never lifted a finger!
