I know this is a little off topic since were storage auction guys and not out of business hotel buyers but essentially we are all resellers so wodnering if anyone has ever been to one of these auctions?

I saw a newspaper article about a hotel going out of busines. they claimed they it was $25 for entire rooms, I got there and thats not at all how things were priced, it was like $28 for an end table. Basically not enough room to make it worth the trouble of loading up and reselling.

Did see a few bargains though. They had these CV1 Single Cup Coffee Makers. I think its a special model for hotels but I believe it may be made by Cuisine Art or Hampton bay.

Anyhow these were going for $3 a pop. I was gonna talk to the person in charge and see if they'd come down a buck or two if I bought all 400 or 500. Didn't find too many online but saw some on ebay amazon for like $30 new.

Anyhow, if anyone on these boards can move those things pm me and maybe we can work something out.  Hope thats allowed to ask for assistance on this forum, if not mods can delete this part of the post or take it down altogether.

Never been to an out of business sale. I would think it would take a while to get rid of 500 coffee makers, unless they were a sought after model or something
