First Storage Auction..........

I will do so, but changed my date to tomorrow (27th).  The circuit that day includes several sites that are closer to my home (Roseville/Antelope area).  I'm hoping to hit at least 5 and possibly more. 

I am unsure how to time it out as I don't know how long the average auction takes!  So I'm planning on one starting at 10am and then every hour after (11, 12, 1, and 2).  Does this timing sound about right?  Or is that too many/too close together?

If it is the same auctioneer for all the auctions, you probably would go to the first one and just follow along. The 2nd one won't start until the auctioneer gets there if is his auction.

On the other hand if there are two or more auctioneers, then you have to just make a plan and stick to it. You can't be in two or three spots at the same time unless you have a partner or wife you trust to bid for you in your absence.

The important thing is to jump in (to going to them) and then make good observations and maybe good buying/not buying decisions.

Almost eight yrs ago I bought a lkr full of old steel and such for $30. I remember commenting to a regular buyer that I didn't see how he and others could gamble hundreds (at that time) but of course now I see myself and others sometimes "gambling" thousands.  Do a search for $18,500 in the search button above and you'll see a post I made about a household of goods that sold for that amount last Friday the 22nd of July, 2011.

Looks like Extra Space has about 20 lkrs at three locations near you. Looks like Forrest has a couple of facilities too....

Have fun!

So, what's the verdict?  Gold bars, silver candlesticks, signed memorabilia, stamp and coin collections OR.....

dirty diapers, broken chests of drawers, bags of trash, TV sets with walnut woodgrain on the side ?
