Auction today. Well crossing my fingers did not work. 

Two facility caravan. Oh and our three day 14 facility caravan cancelled this month. So expected more people at the auctions still going on but good grief.

Over 100 people 10 regulars 2 units.

10x10 1/4 full kids toys, riding worm some bags of clothes $30. We went to $20, Was not worth $40 (and that was what the auctioneer wanted.)

5 x 10   6 metal dinning room chairs table, small sitting chair, 2 tail lights (think to a Honda) a basket with a breather for something. $23.23 we bought it.

Next stop 2 lockers  more people

5 x 5  1/4 full looked like business papers in boxes, paper shredder.  $310   One of the whales

20 x 20  Van, truck with roof cut off, second level of storage built in, fibreglass finders for cars, a ton of stuff. $510.  One of the Whales

So even with the crowd prices were not bad. May be they are getting smarter.    Or what came up nobody wanted except for the regulars. 

Well got the 5 pc set. Think we paid to much but will make money on it. Also got a free dresser there.

Next stop. We did really good Antique buffet tall, lady was using as a dresser. And a 27 inch DVD/VHS TV (they sell like hot cakes here)  $50. and an Antique child table and two antique children's chairs. $10  and a small console stereo Free 

Oh and she threw in a 2 X 4... LOL they were moving back to Ohio. We cleaned them out, Think it helped we had the trailer with us. 

Never know about people. On the prowl again.

Hitting 3 unit auction today. 1st time to this place. Then off to look at CL finds.

Will let you know what happens.

What I really need help with are the outdoor tools. They seem too good to be true. I mean $10 each for things that cost hundreds of dollars. I dunno... Even if they don't work, I was wondering if they'd have any scrap or parts value. Most of these prices seem too good to be true, but with the storage auction prices as high as they are, I don't know if I can pass this up.

If they start up and run pick them up. We picked up a chainsaw for $15 at a yard sale and sold in ours for $35.
Oh have to have the neon. 

im probably going to pop my cherry and buy my first unit this thursday. the good thing is, i live in a upper middle class / lower high class neighborhood (houses range from 350k-1mil) and the first 2 auctions are right down the road

come to think of it, those are probably the only 2 ill attend, since the other 8 or so are in less than desirable sections of town that arent known for hoarding cool stuff.

some of the best units we've seen/bought have come from a rough area of town.  And likewise some of the trashiest in the 'better' areas.  Not always the case, but you really shouldn't judge a book and all......

Will agree the nicer facilities may be full. And if you need to store stuff will find one that has space available. Went to an auction and the owner of the facility had been putting it off but he needed the space for paying customers. His facility was full.  "but you really shouldn't judge a book and all......"

Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks, hope the Auction is good but I doubt it. the big caravan for us has been cancelled for this month. So expect all the regulars and who knows how many Noobies.

On the CL find. We were suppose to go yesterday evening, could not get there so called and told her it would be today. She said no problem we have been the only people interested. 

It is a 5pcs. kids bedroom set. Dresser w/mirror. chest of drawers, night stand and matching desk. It is the off white color with gold trim,from the 50's, ugly. But it will sell. She is asking $100. We have the heads up we are the only ones interested so sure we can get her down on the price.

 Found another good deal last night will call them this morning after the auction. It is on our way home from the other find.

Dave!!!   so he threw the inflatable doll in the trash bag he had lying around and moves up to the back and finds a box that is marked sterling, he opens it up and whole bunch of silver glimmer hit his eyes!   He says whoa!!  Score!!!!   then he humps his leg over a bunch of junk and walks to the truck in excitement.   

Once in the sunlight he looks closer at the lovely silver glimmer only to discover it is tinsel covering Christmas ornaments.

Have to look again, has to be A WOW FACTOR in there. "What was that hunk of junk I crawled over?"

A metal pedal car that was made in 2005 and thinking it was made in the 1940's. uggg
