Today I went to an auction that was unadvertised in all the normal places. There were 3 people attending the auction, including myself. There were 7 units for sale plus 2 vans. The vans were crap.. I ended up with 4 units and I paid a total of $295. I'm not even close to emptying out the units.. but what I got so far from my first 2 broken down as follows..
#1.. Bought for $20
I pulled some kids clothes, easy sell at fleas. A gaming chair, have yet to test it. A dorm room style kitchen table with 4 chairs. Table folds on both sides, chairs fold and are stored in the middle. Some college books, haven't checked them out yet.
#2.. Bought for $25
I was feeling really bad about this unit. A lot of mechanic type stuff. Brake fluid, bulbs, oil filters, etc. I dig a little further and pull out a rubbermaid bin of glassware. I open the first box, it's a Terry Labonte mug. It'll sell here in Nascar country. Next few newspaper wrapped items are pilsner glasses, DAB beer (German). 5 of those pilsner glasses, I'm thinking about $30 for the lot. Than I see a Mikasa box. Crystal toasting glasses. Tag says $89.99. It's getting better... Then I see a bunch of white unmarked boxes. I open the first box and it's fine china. Noritake 9771 Pacific Majesty. The other boxes completed the set. I have a serving of 4 complete. Amazon has it listed for $525.00!
Today reminded me of the good old days before Storage Wars brought the big crowds!
