Good morning from Buffalo, NY. Stumbled across this forum this morning. I plan on going to my first auction today (well auctions). Wish me luck.

Good luck Buffalo.  Definitely return to the forum and let us know how you did and how the auction was run.  I've been to a few and the cool thing is, every single one was run differently so I'm getting a wealth of experience all at once.

Can't wait to hear!!

Well I went to one auction out of three, and bought one for 190 plus tax. It had three totes a briefcase and some mechanical items (rhino ramps for an sub/truck) and a motomaster board to slide under cars. So I took the gamble. It paid off. One tote had personal effects, which I learned his wife was in jail and sent him lots of love letters, pictures of him with strippers, and a lot of bills.

Second tote had a Boise surround sound system in it, score! Speakers alone (cause the unit is all scratched up) I'm hoping to get at least $100 for as my friend said the system new is like $1000. I haven't done any research on it yet.

Third tote had tons of nascar and car models. Priced at $10 - $50 each! So I've been throwing them on eBay as fast as I can.

The briefcase had tons of drafting tools, pencils, pens, triangles, compasses, etc. No idea how much this is worth.

Also found a gold looking football pin. No idea anything about this ether. I'll post pictures soon.

Good for you Buffalo.  I grew up there.  Do they still have the big flea market in Clarence ?  That could be a great place to sell stuff.

How did you make out with this unit?  I was at that auction, and remember this unit. There was another unit that had a briefcase sitting right in plain sight also. Two briefcases at the same place on the same day in two different units. That was a first for me.
