Went to one today that had about 70 people......I think only around 40 were actually registered though. Weird auction. First unit came up and there was a wire feed welder, a big round kerosene heater, a couple of boxes and a couple of plastic ice chests, a jack and a few other items. Anyway, nobody was bidding, and then some guy finally bid $20, and it stumbled around a bit and it was at $35, and the auctioneer was getting ready to close it out, so I bid, the other guy bid, and I jumped it to $65, and the auctioneer looked around, and that was it, I got it. Not sure what happened there, because after that, prices went back up to stupid!
A 5x10 with a cheap off brand weed eater, an ammo can marked "grinder", a pair of cheap speakers and a bunch of boxes went for $825! Lot's of junk filled lockers sold for $200-$300, and a couple of lockers that would have sold for $5-$20 in the "old days" ended up going for $100 PLUS. Lot's of new people, only saw about six that I know as regulars. Crowd's still good sized, and prices still up. Maybe it's just the liberals in Seattle...........
