It seems to be getting back to the ways it was but not all the time. We have been on a few that have only maybe 10 people max but then gone a few days later and there are 50+. The bidding seems to have died down on a whole but then again at some areas it is crazy. Ex: Yesterday we were on an independent run and most of the bids were normal. We proceeded to Stockton and at least two units that should have been 500.00 max went for over 1000.00. Some older woman was doing the high bidding. One unit was two stacks or more of Staples tubs, and regular tubs EMPTY and a makeshift safe that had a large hole drilled in the front plus more obvious DO NOT BID ON THIS UNIT flags! There was some positive items in it but on a whole not that good. Anyway, this woman bid it up to over 1000.00, we all just shook our heads. Then the other had (seriously) termites flying out as soon as it was opened and she bid 1160.00 on it! We couldn't believe it, but then again we have seen crazies like this before. We had to laugh when this regular piped up with "My papa always told me, Some people have more money than sense." She was closer to the truth than we might know. :-)
