hey everyone,
went to a five facility caravan today.... sorta. started as 5 facilities with 17 units, turned out to be 2 facilities with 2 units. got to the first facility 6 units for auction, ended up cancelled. next facility has 2, about 15 minutes before the start both people pay up over the phone.... cancelled. third facility 2 units, so i call the facility because its a far drive, and it has been cancelled. next facility scheduled to have one, and WOAHHHH they have it lol. its a 10x20 with one suitcase, 1 shoe, 3 patio chairs, and a particle wood shoe rack, sold for 50$!?!?! i was astounded. next place and the last one, scheduled to have 5, we get there and on the door has a sign that says down to one unit. so we walk to it, find out its a double door unit and a 12x30. opened it and it was packed full with brand new vintage coke machines completely resotred and beautiful!! had to be 15-20 differnet kinds and on the other side was a defineite mechanics unit. tools galore, impact wrnech, a rear end from some kind of car, hoods, struts shocks, intakes, pistons rods, complete tranny, a 250 gallon commericla air compressor, 3 craftsman stand up tool boxes, a tire mounting machine, a snap on engine diagnostic machine. just looked like a maechanics shop packed into the unit. not to mention the cleanliness and tidyness this man had. one of the best ive seen in awhile. wish i wouldve had over 1500 on me today. oh well.
here in central florida crowds were down all day, except for the last facility about 50-60 attendees maybe half are serious bidders.
fun day, just never seen so many places get conmpletely cancelled and paid up at the last minute. on to the next one.
sorry for the long post, just giving a story.
