and damn it, none of them got me a locker.
Bid on a locker with a art deco style dresser and a fail apart desk and not much else. Dresser is probably worth $100 bucks on a quick turnaround, locker went for $110.
Bid on a locker with cloths and a wolverine shoe box. Locker should have gone for $10 bucks tops, went for $23. Talked to the winning bidder and he said he was bidding because his pops told him to get a locker today at all costs. Another locker I bid on went for $900 bucks, what was seen was about a quarter that price. I bid up to $400 and said screw it.
Learned a valueable lesson today. Saturday auctions blow!

Saturday auctions normally have a ton more noobs then weekday. However, those prices seem about norm right now. I know I've bid on 2 seperate auctions now and not come away with anything. You just have to set your max and know when to walk away.

NOT spending money is in a way MAKING money !

Had my dad with me today and we had a good laugh at a few of the locker prices. IMO when your not getting a locker and prices are outrageous, having family with you to laugh at the prices can be just as fun.

Success, well Kinda!
Found auctions that no one is going to. Not good quality items, but if today was an omen for what this business was like before Auction shows, I'm going to be tickled pink. Lockers were going for a dollar and they had at least $20 profit(seen in them). I didnt get one because I thought they were doing all the auctions today, and I was wrong. If judging by today, I'll may end up getting 3 to 5 lockers tomorrow.
The items may not be the best but it will cover my gas expenses and get my nose wet(something I am dying to do) without actually curing a lose of cash.
