Here we are, almost May and I just got back from my first auction of the year.
Not many close by lately and I've been to busy during the week.
Tend to avoid weekend auction but this was like 10 minutes away and I wasn't doing anything....
Only two units. About forty people.....until they said two units and it dropped to 30ish.
First unit, most of you would have loved! 20x30. Nice, and I mean NICE, furniture. Stainless appliances with that plastic sticker (like window stickers) stuff still on it. Older but clean *ss john dear mower. Everything was clean, well packed, u-hail boxes.......
I went up to $1000. Did the back away planning on letting others bid out then jump back in. But it hit $4500. Little to steep for me. I was happy for the guy that got it. He was just looking at buying a similar fridge and it was $3000. So basically he got the unit for $1500. Hard to be upset for not being able to get it when the winner is cool and so happy.
I got the second unit. Except for some looky loo's everyone left when they saw it. It was me and another guy. $25. Five boxes.
1) glassware, mostly chipped.
2) plates/bowls, mostly chipped
3) bathroom stuff, ugly.
4) bakeware, well used
5) bedroom/living room knick knacks
I got a few cookie sheets. Found a set of "diamond" stud earrings. Haven't tested, real silver base but the color and refraction seems off. Either fake or worse quality ever sold. Don't have high hopes. They look to me like those you get at Marshals or Sears for $49.99 during Xmas time......
So basically I paid $25 for two used cookie sheets, a $20 tax write off and a $3 coupon to value village.....
