Thanks for the encouraging words. Went to an auction this morning. It was rather different. There were only 3 people there   First unit had little to no mystery. Washer dryer and sofa and a few other things. No one bid. I offered 20. The guy running the auction said no and said he needed 150. I offered 100 he refused. On to the next one. It was complete junk and no one bid.  The third unit looked solid. I asked what he needed for this one. He replied with 120. I bid. Someone else bid 125 I did 130. The other guy bowed out. The the auction guy said he would let me have it for 150. I offered 230 for this unit and the first. He said no. So I told him I would just do the 130 on this one. He accepted. Over all really excited about the unit. A quick walk through I found 2 Nintendo wiis with accessories and games, sofa love ( decent shape), kitchen table, Nikon camera, a Tom Tom, several sets of Legos. I also found a remote and 3d glasses that go with a 3d tv. Hopefully it's there. I'll update later tomorrow after I clear it out

Struck out on 8 lockers.  Pretty much all the lockers were decent to my untrained eye.  The one unit i really wanted I got beat by 5 dollars. I do feel I learned a lot today though.  Over all it was not a waste of a day. Looking forward to the small auction in my hometown Saturday.

Going to my first silent storage auction tomorrow. Any advice?

There are two auctions in the next two days where I live and the high here today is negative 4.  Do they ever cancel auctions due to poor turnout? Sorry if that's a silly question.  I just have a feeling few people will show up

I didn't buy his unit. There was however a gallon jug visible that was not full of water. This unit had literally 400 plus hotwheels all opened and played with. What do you guys do with them?

  Pretty much what the title says. They couldn't get the door open more than  a foot. Finally someone laid down and looked under the door to find someone holding the door shut . He told the guy  " dont steal my stuff". They ended up calling the police as he refused to come out. After a while he came out and ended up going to jail.  On a bright side I bought my first locker. I paid $250 and it looks like I will sell contents for roughly $1000. It had a PS3, a Nintendo 3ds, 3 Nintendo DsI's, a wii, they all had several games to go with. It also several power tools. It's the first unit I have ever purchased
