Just catching up from this past weekend/holiday
Went to a facility on Good Friday that is part of a strip mall-type office complex. The only ones there were me, another couple who have a store, and Mr. Whale. (not him again!)
Three lockers - bidding went like this:
#1 - 5x5, with absolute crap - Whale opens at $25, couple go $30, Whale $35, couple $40, Whale $50 and wins. (Couple comments to me "Didn't want it, but wasn't going to let him have it for $25!)
#2 - 10x30 - half full with two or three dressers, four stock car slicks, a couple racing jacks, misc. tools, and boxes/bags. Couple opens at $50 - Whale to $100 - and on it went to $850 with the Whale winning. Wow, maybe he's Dale Earnhardt's cousin or something...
#3 - 15x50 - (GIANT locker) - about half-full of big furniture - three full size cloth office couches, a couple conference room medium-sized tables, desks, chairs, etc. - but limited amount of boxes and no file cabinets. Whale starts at $100 - and he never stopped. Couple went up to $1700 - Whale won at $1800.
So Mr. Whale flexed his muscles and won them all, and with tax spent around $3000. Apparently one of those days where he wasn't going to lose a unit. Things are picking up with two more this week and three next week. Hoping for the best - good luck to everyone!
