read the legals this sounds like one owner with more than 1 unit. Most times they will sell all units as one. but not always. be surprised you buy the dresser without drawer next guy buys drawers without dresser

haha, I wonder how much the drawers would be worth to the guy that has the dresser 

Another thing to consider is where the auctions are located.  Auctions that are farther from the metro area may be less crowded. 

Ya thats true, however, in this case, all these auctions are rather close to one another (20 min or less) so I don't think itll matter much

Ok, so theres a bunch of auctions coming up from two seperate companies on the same day. One has posted on thier website, the other has posted on AuctionZip. Both have 6 different locations throughout the day. Now, obviously i'm going to call ahead to see how many units are being auctioned off at each location, but as a general rule, would it be better to go to the ones that aren't on AuctionZip over the ones that are, being that they will probably be less crowded?

These are Saturday Auctions, if that has any barring at all.

I've had video games thorwn off Half.com before, mostly the old Nintendo NES games. If they don't come with the box they are automatically supposed to be under the "Acceptable" category, even though 98% of those games don't have the box and are mislabeled anyway. It takes them awhile to get around to throwing them off.

Finally found an auction I could fit into my schedule and wasnt over 100 miles away. Only two units though. A little bit of rain, which I saw as a plus cause rain doesnt bother me but I thought it would  keep some people from coming out. About 20-25 showed up.

The first unit had a bed, two bikes (cheap ones, I know bikes, although some of the people bidding thought they were decent), and two big black metal cabinets. I could tell there was stuff in the one cabinet, but it was all in white garbage bags. Def not my locker. It went for around $280.

The second one was a bit bigger, and had some better stuff. What I can remember - A complete brand new wood bed frame, a nice new kitchen table with two chairs (not the most expensive, but new none the less) craftman tool set, a used dirt devil vacuum (the more expensive kind, although I could tell it had some use.)   There were also a bunch of boxes in the back corner, labeled "living room" and "Kitchen" I could see through one, and could tell it had nothing but x-mas decorations in it. I decided to bid, and had the bid at $350, then when the auctioneer gave the last call someone bid $400 and I decided I had my fun and threw in the towel. The locker sold for $450.


Overall I wasnt disappointed. I will definatley be looking forward to my next auction, and hopefully ill win one

haha I appreciate the effort.

One of the problems with my location is that I'm close enough to both Ohio and West Virginia that I could look up auctions in 3 states, with very few being close to me. It'll prob be awhile though until I venture to an out of state auction though

In my area (Central California) there are very few weekend auctions...maybe 2 or 3 places accounting for about 4 to 6 auctions a year. I think ...around here anyway... the property managers realize the big buyers of lockers are people who often sell on Saturday and Sunday, so the crowd would be smaller than during the week.

I never thought about it like that, but it makes perfect sense.

Not yet. I got a few lined up though. I'll let ya know how they go
