I went to Moving Company auction ,they had about 20 containers up for sale,it was run by American Auctioneers,so I expected to see huge crowd,but only few people were there,may be 20,usually I see about 80 at each American Auctioneers location.The auctioneer was Dotson and one of bidders was Dave Hester,he was buying a lot,paying around $80-$120 for big boxes per bidders choice,I don't like the guy ,especially what he does to Jarrod bidding him up,it should be fake though all this drama,but nevertheless...
I always buy furniture,that's where the money is and we were bidding on small size mahogany bookcase,nothing special probably $70 or so,so Dave Hester was getting it for $10 ,but I decided to bid him up and he got it for $45,not sure how he will make money on it,the next furniture item was leather Stickley style sofa from 1920's ,that sofa was a money maker ,last year I sold similar for $800 in 7 days,so I was thinking I can do $400 easy on it ,but almost no one was interested so I got it for $80! Hester was not even bidding and in the stupid show he considers himself as a furniture expert...There was a nice collection of 6 antique violins ,it went for $550 each ,huge Ikea style mirror ,Hester got it for $2 ;D75-paid almost retail,I was suprised,probably Mogul is not that smart as he tries to show off...
