Well I am definitely a NOOBIE, gonna break my cherry pretty soon.
My main problem is I can only get to these auctions on Saturdays. I've been to 2 last couple weeks. First one a little disappointed because they piece auction everything for $1 to $20, I bought a couple small tools there, spent $8, but damn did that auction move slow. Over 100 people, took the1 1/2 hours to go thru 1st unit, and had 14 units in that auction. I stayed 3 hours til they got thru the 1st 5, then I lost my interest. They had the other lockers open and mainly looked like trash to me.
Today went to another auction down south, they cut the locks off in front of us. Auction the way we are used to, only thing was 200+ people at this one. Funny thing was it really didn't seem like prices were to out of line though. Had 10 units seen one w/garden tools and 2 tires go for $25 and I crammed 10x30 w/someones whole gararge, full of tools and trashcans full of garage stuff, went for $1200, lot of work for $1200 but someone definitely w/make 3x money on that one. Bidded on a couple but didn't win anything. One went for $45 w/what looked like a cat pissed on couch, but there was 6 uhaul boxes closed in the back, my whole drive back wandering what was in those boxes, but did not want that nasty couch.
