Well hit two different auctions today. The first was a small facility with 3 lockers, crowd of about 30 people (mostly regulars). First locker was a lot of broken stuff, mostly full, sort of "so/so" and sold for open bid of $50. The other two were ok and went for decent prices IMO.
Then we hit the 2 facility auction with the Florida auctioneer. I was right - it was a freaking circus. We had at least 150 people at the first location and close to 200 at the second. I have pictures of the crowds on my phone. The prices reflected the crowds. Lockers that I could normally grab for 50-100 bucks was going for 200+. I have a complete listing but will not put everyone to sleep with the prices. The second facility also had a thing for matresses. Had several units with 6+ matresses in them. One had at least a dozen, some still in plastic.
My daughter was with me today. She liked one locker and prompted me to bid. It was one of the so/so lockers with a nice square coffee table showing (no glass), a ton of VHS tapes, and all sorts of boxes. Since I like boxes I went ahead and called out the next bid ($150). I actually got it which surprised me. So for $176.50 (tax and bp) we got a locker. Don't look like I will make lots of money but will break even or make some. For once what is marked on the boxes is what is in there. So I have all sorts of kitchen items now, a georgia formen grill, iron, knife block w/ all the knives, etc.
