Monday was my 3 facility late in the day auction that I've done well at. My daughter loves this place as they let her bid. 8 units at first, 8 at second, 5 at last place of the day. Most of the units were low to ok. Only one unit had any major value to it. Crowd was 20+ bidders, compared to other auctions. Many of the old timers, regulars, and a bunch of newbies. This place draws them in many times. I suspect it's due to the 4pm start time instead of 10am.
I bid on a few units, daughter bid on 2, and we ended up with 1. Paid $40 for a 10x10 that had 6 large paint buckets and another dozen or so paint cans showing. Sign in the corner said "professional painters", one of the advertisement signs you put in a yard when you are working. I saw a shop vac, hose for a paint sprayer, vac, carpet cleaning vac, a toolbox, a eddie bauer bag, and a few totes/random boxes. So I figured I'd go up to $40 on a gamble and see.
Well the eddie bauer is a 6 person canopy tent w/ screen front porch. Looks to be all there in a trash bag and poles, ground cover in the eddie bag. Most of the paint cans are empty so easy to dispose of. The filled ones I'll try and sell or will mix with litter and dump. No compressor or paint sprayer like I hoped. Did find one of those large mix-fuel heaters for your shop. A few random tools, gas cans, etc. Wife is keeping a few crystal pieces that I found. Overall I'll at least break even if not make some cash. Depends on the shop vac, normal vac, and carpet cleaner vac working or not.
