Well I missed last week's auctions, including my 3 facility caravan due to work sending me out of town. I did get to take my daughter to the local small town 4 miles from where I live. In the paper they had 18 units, thursday was 12, and day of auction was 9. Crowd was maybe 10 people total. Was myself and daughter, 2 6-mo newbie couples, and a few other locals. All of the locals were mostly 60+ year old guys I think just out for a look. Of course the really nice sounding unit paid up...dang. They changed from a "silent bid" to call-out that morning. I had promised my daughter I'd take her to the auction before I found out I had to leave town. So I was set to fly out 4 hours after the auction. 48 hours to clean units out.
1st - decent stove, fridge - nothing else. They wanted $75 (no-bids) - finally sold for think $40
2nd - mirror, part of a large cabinet, large broken dresser - no bids
3rd - small closet unit - matress/box spring, some boxes, trash - $5 (daughter)
4th - mostly junk / trash, toolbox - $5 (daughter) -- Auction guy said $10...I was like "PLEASE" - got a laugh
5th - fridge, not sure what else - $40
6th - packed 10x10 - chair, dressers, bags, boxes - I bought for $60 (bought for buddy - we split cost)
7th - 2 bags, tote, lamp. broken furniture - no bid
8th - table/chairs - some other furniture - $30 or so
9th - packed 5x10 - started to bid but was thinking of time. Sold for $10
At end of auction they asked did anyone want the 2 no-bid units for 1 price. I offered $5 if they would give me till NEXT sunday to clean out. They took it and I paid $5. Figure would make my $5 back on lamp, rest is trash but was already going to dump and it's a flat rate.
