Okay I apologized for the previous posts with the smileys, I was using my phone and the whole post will be erased and just post the smileys....
But here is how it went....my first auction...well it was actually 2 auctions....1 in Channelview (just outside of Houston, 15 mins from my house) and 1 in Baytown (about 30 mins from my house, but 15 from where I was in Channelview)
The one in Channelview was at 10:30, I got there and saw about 15 people outside but soon another 15 people came, in total I think there was about 35 - 40 people there, the units in my opinion were pretty much garbage, nothing I really wanted to bid on, the ones that looked sort of good were going for over 200.00 thats more than what I wanted to spend. There was a total of about 13 units, 2 of them were under 100.00 on2 had a recliner and bags of clothes and I think a fishing rod in the back, went for 45.00 and another that had about 5 bags of clothes (I think) it went for 65.00. The auction was over by 11:45, and I was told by others of the other auction in Baytown, so I decided to go to that one as well...
Baytown, 12:30 start....I get there and see about 30 cars outside and I am thinking what the heck, there's about 50 people there, and the bids were higher here but in my opinion a little bit better stuff, one had a scooter but it was taken a part a bit, it went for 375.00 and the last one had a hoveraround it went for 400.00.
All in all I think it was a good experience I didnt buy anything, didnt even bid, but I am just waiting my turn, I get something.
