I went to a auction last friday.  they had 6 units on the block.  This was the first auction i have been to that allowed  you to walk into the unit.  (I didn't like that).  This is the first auction that i did research on the owners.  One was in jail for meth, one was a local nurse,  one was a student, and they last the one i bid on and won recently passed away.  This locker looked like someone moved the items in a hurry, so i was banking on the fact they forgot something.

Digging through the unit i found some small electronics and kids clothing that will easily sell, but it's going to be hard to recoup my 325 bid.

Here is the picture from when the door opened. I look at it now, and say to myself no wonder! haha.

Oh this locker had TONS AND TONS of new fabric.  not sure how to sell it though.

Cut the ends off all the cords, throw them in a tub, and when you get it full take it to the scrap yard and make a few bucks on it.  All the cords and cables you end up with in lockers add up pretty fast.....I'm pretty sure I'm doing over 100 a month just in cords and cables.

As far as the vhs....keep one of the many outdated and obsolete video cameras you're bound to find and make some home porn!  Or not.....LOL!  I donate the commercially recorded movies to Goodwill and the home recordings and blanks typically go in the trash.

So you just cut the end that plugs into the wall off? or do you strip them too?

I have more of these than i know what to do with.

In my last unit I found a tool box full of old tools.  Most of them are craftsman, but have a nice coat of rust over them.  Anyone ever return this things back to sears for the lifetime warranty?  A new craftsman tool would be pretty easy to sell on Ebay.

ok, well this locker was a complete bust.  I sold the All-clad for 100, and one dresser for $20.

I posted the solid wood dining table for 70 bucks and not one single person emailed or called me and loveseat / couch for 40 (set)

I posted those stupid duck decoys for .99 cents on ebay and not one bid.

I got my money back, but damn this unit sucks.

Each Tv is about 30-40 pounds.  40 x .06 = $2.40.  For $10 I think I can find them a home.

Post the pic!

today I was at an auction and there was two different units that I wanted.  The first unit was a 5 x 10 with a  few bins of dolls still in the box, and old records and some beat up old chairs.  The only doll that you could see was an Nsync doll still on the box.  I jump on my phone and its only valued at 3.99 on ebay.  I was going to take a gamble on this unit anyway.  I waited till on the stupid people were done bidding ( the people who open the bid at 50 cents, and their buddy who holler 4 dollars).  I waited till it hit 30 then i jumped in.  I was willing to take it all the way to 120.  I get it to 70 and the auctioneer says "70 going twice" and then some new guy gets in on the action and jumps the bid to 125.   I was pretty mad, so i took him all the way to 210 to finally dump it on him.

The second unit was a packed 10x10.  I thought i had it won at 140,  with the auctioneer once again saying "140 going twice", and then again some guy jumps in at the last second.  Every counter offer i put in he just raised me by 5 dollars till finally I stopped at 290.


My question to you guys is do you pull a dave hester and just bid folks up?
