I went to Moving Company auction ,they had about 20 containers up for sale,it was run by American Auctioneers,so I expected to see huge crowd,but only few people were there,may be 20,usually I see about 80 at each American Auctioneers location.The auctioneer was Dotson and one of bidders was Dave Hester,he was buying a lot,paying around $80-$120 for big boxes per bidders choice,I don't like the guy ,especially what he does to Jarrod  bidding him up,it should be fake though all this drama,but nevertheless...
I always buy furniture,that's where the money is and we were bidding on small size mahogany bookcase,nothing special probably $70 or so,so Dave Hester was getting it for $10 ,but I decided to bid him up and he got it for $45,not sure how he will make money on it,the next furniture item was leather Stickley style sofa from 1920's ,that sofa was a money maker ,last year I sold similar for $800 in 7 days,so I was thinking I can do $400 easy on it ,but almost no one was interested so I got it for $80! Hester was not even bidding and in the stupid show he considers himself as a furniture expert...There was a nice collection of  6 antique violins ,it went for $550 each ,huge Ikea style mirror ,Hester got it for $2 75-paid almost retail,I was suprised,probably Mogul is not that smart as he tries to show off...

I went to storage auction  in Valley area with friend of mine,there were about 45 people there waiting for auctioneer to arrive,we thought no chance we can get smth for decent price, here an auction started,
first unit opened up- 5" by 5",almost empty-2 garbage bags full of misc and cloth scattered on the floor,I got it for $10,second unit was full of file boxes with someone's else papers/newspapers,there were like 30 boxes,no one wanted it I got it for $1.
Third unit  opened up and again -hardly anything - 3 rubbermaid containers,2 were full of books,1 was closed with the lid,$25 got me that one.
Fourth unit was hoarder's  5" by 5" locker with garbage bags ,full of visible trash-$10 was our  winning bid ,by now people start kind of making jokes how stupid those folks are to haul away someone's else trash.
Fifth unit got everyone's interest-10" by 15" ,1/3 full: few tool boxes ,2 bicycles, 15 plastic containers,speakers,at least 10 electronic devices:dvd ,tv,vhs players,amps,set of yamaha drums ,plenty od cables,cheap mirror ,misc kitchen gadgets,antique French nightstand and what not,the bidding went all the way to 725,going once ,twice, I jumped in ,raised hand ,got it for $750.
We paid up and went to sort through all of it.Next topic I will share the results,keep tuned!
