I took about a 6 month hiatus due to the crowds. I was gonna start back in July, but saw an auction listed online for today, so a took a shot.
There were 17 bidders (facility took deposit and issued numbers).
Took a 10x20 for $1000. There were tools everywhere. They gave me until next week to clean it. I took about a quarter of the unit today.
Found 2 boxes of Franklin Mint Classic Cars (30 total) with boxes. Tons of matchbox cars in original packages. Vintage Tonka trucks (7). 2 lawnmowers, 3 chainsaws, 3 blowers. Took 3 boxes of hand tools, there are probably a dozen more left. Also found $6.26 in change.
I think I covered the cost already, gonna take a run back in a bit for more.
