Went to a auction today 15/20 bidders, I grabbed the first unit, 5X10 full of clothes/dishes and other small items. Spent 40 on it.

 the good about it.

 Playstation 1 (Yea it's sad when that is among the good.)
a lot of good books, (newer stuff in great shape, hArry potter, and some other vampire style ones.)
we kept about 2 trash bags full of misc clothes. some nicer stuff to sale
had 3 little girls dance outfits for like a ballet or something, wife said they are worth 10/15 each. (Her friend teaches at a dance school so we should move them easily.)
10 dvds
some nice purses  (one of which is called a "coach" she said its worth a little bit.)

the bad

 mail TONS of mail. Like seriously 200-300 pieces of mail, these people were in debt to EVERYONe, they owed GA power 1,100 dollars. They had debt collecters from 8 or 9 places with bills from 300 to 6000.

 Tons of trashy clothes, dirty dishes and normal trash.

   I only spent 40 bucks and will be lucky to make that back. Luckily I'm only out 40 on this one though. Better luck next week.

Don't feel bad we all do that.  Least yours was only a $40 mistake and not a $180 like mine.  You may even be able to make a profit depending on how the cloths sale.
