Title: Piece by Piece Auction...Late October, 2013
Post by: MovieMan on November 01, 2013, 10:01:39 AM
Here are some pics of a piece by piece auction I went to recently.
Not many of these around the country apparently as no one else has much to say about them.
CalCoastGal goes to one occasionally, but like many people isn't fond of them.

I used to hate them but now I embrace them as they are true picking and auction all at the same time !

Each end is roped off and people are kept back. Then opened and we walk in and look at stuff
but there is no touching.

Here's one box of stuff. Whole box would be sold. Bids start at $5 and go up $2.50 or $5 at a time.
Sometimes stuff does'nt sell and remainders are sold in bulk at the end of a locker sale, then on to the
next locker. There were 20 lockers this time and sale ran from 8:30 to 1.

Guess what this fellow paid for this big block engine; what would YOU have paid.
