Two different auctions. Don took the single facility and I hit the caravan. Crowds were minimal in the beginning at both. Don got the first locker of the day. 10X20 full of appliances, furniture and some sporting goods showing. Paid $725. Of course I'm suffering from some sort of elbow pain (see tendonitis......I think) so here we go......
The caravan started at one facility with 3 units. First was just some canopy type stuff. Supports and tarps and the like. Went for $75. Next was a 5X10 relatively full with an old chair and mattresses blocking most of the doorway. there was a tool box sitting on a table that was visible, but not much else. went for $350. I was in it up to $225. Third unit was a 10X20 half full of tools. Welder, evaporative cooler, tool boxes. It opened at $500 and ended at $1900.
Went to the next facility and our crowd more than doubled as the other auction had ended and they all flocked over. While there Don called to say 'you're gonna kill me......there's a pool table in here.' UGH......we'll either have to hire some young stud to help load or rent a box truck with a ramp.
All the units at the second facility were pretty much garbage and went too high.
I'm at home now as I didn't want to waste the fuel to carry on with the caravan, but may end up at the one facility that I love! Will have to see when Don rolls in and how much we have to unload. Add in the fact that by the end of the last facility the crowd had soared to over 80? Just don't know if I feel like dealing with the masses~
Can't tell ya much on his unit as right now it's all being fed over the phone. I know there's a side by side fridge (black....don't know make or condition yet), an upright freezer, a gas range (that will replace my piece of crap one), a pool table (with cues. Asked if he had the balls....he laughed), paintball guns, a few NFL jerseys (of course one is a Jay Cutler (waahhhh) from when he was in Denver....tough sell), dining table with 6 chairs, washer & dryer (older), leather chair.............and that is all I can remember off the top o' my head.
Will post an update when I have time/more info~
