I'm new to the forums and have been going to auctions for 4 months now and wanted to share my find this past week.
I recently went to an auction were there was said to be 8 units for sale but when we got there there was now only 1 unit for sale. With so many people showing up I didn't think I was going to get one. When the door went up it was really hard to tell what was inside because there were two large tables blocking the view. Half the crowd left and the bidding started. To my amazement I won the locker at just $200. Once I got in the locker it started to look like a office or business of some kind and it was. It use to be a EMS first responders company. Inside were a dozen boxes of patient records, computers, office equipment, furniture, etc. As soon as I had the unit cleaned out the front desk called me and told me the original owner wanted to speak with me about the unit. I didn't want the owner to know my number in case they were going to hassle me so I emailed them from a new email account. The owner wanted to get back the documents and computers but said I could keep the rest. She asked how much I wanted for those items I really wanted to at least get my money back plus some so I was going to ask for $300 but didn't noticed a typo and put $3000 instead. She agreed to the price and I was shocked, but figured something on these computers must have been worth it. So I delivered the computers and docs, picked up my cash, and head back home to see the rest. I then cam across 2 chairs known as fairfield chairs. I took them to a guy I know who owns a high end furniture shop and he told me they retail at $700-800 each. He offered me $1000 for the pair and I took it. With everything else in the unit I made another $1000. So all together I made $5000 from that one unit. That will probably not happen again for a long while. But hope it does.
