Title: Box Lot/Table Lot Auctions
Post by: Dan on January 29, 2011, 08:29:48 AM
Hey guys, do any of you have experience at auctions like these?  There is one today at 4:00, about an hour from where I live.  How are these different from storage auctions, and what could I expect?   Is it just as much or more of a toss up?  Are there usually quality goods?  Pricing?  Here is how it is described on the website:

This sale will be held indoors and will consist of over 150 box lots, tools, 7 Tables of antiques and collectibles, and more.

You just have to go and find out.
Auctions are so different from place to place.

But let us know how it turned out.

I didn't end up going, but I think maybe next time I will.  I was a little weary about traveling an hour and not knowing what to expect.  The auctioneer put some pictures online, and it looked like more of the collectibles/possible antique type of stuff.  I'm just not experienced enough for that yet, and imagine that stuff is a little tougher to resell.
