Scoring on a cheapo

Scoring on a cheapo
« on: August 27, 2011, 12:04:13 PM »
Went to an auction this morning where only 4 units were up for bid. The units werent to bad. The favility manager took most tjings out of the unit and you could look in boxs but not take anying out and walk in the units but not move anything around. Well prices weremt to bad either the 2 full units went for 450 and 325 both awesome units. The unit I got had some christmas items an old tv that worked and some misc boxes I got the unit for 30 bucks. Started going through it found some playstation 2 games some nitendo ds games dvds cpu games and nitendo gamecube games. Well in this one junk lookin nox full of hangers I started pullin stuff out and found a playstation 2 with 3 controllers game saving cards a nitendo ds with a couple more games camera cell phone pocket voice recorder. In the christmas boxs found some collectable ornaments a couple light uphouses tuns of stockings. Also got a couple vintage leather jackets. All in all for 30 bucks I can easily make at least 300 on the game systems games dvds and who knows on the rest. So sevond unit I got in 2 weeks is another big score. Ebay here I come.

terrorbow, was this auction in Almont?

Better then what I saw today.  Units that should have gone for half of what they went for.

Some idiot kids bid $3300 on a 10x15, another 10x15 went for a G, a unit that had next to nothing in it should have gone for $5 went for $23.

No this was in caro. Glad to know about almont though I almost went. But I figured I would do garage sales but first stopped by this auction.

 The umit that went for 325 had vintage coke bottles in the metal case also a 700 dollar bow washer dryer loveseat and lots of military gear including a kevlar and many other awesome items. Follow me to auctions I seem to find the good ones. Just waiting for the fifth theres one in brown city with about 10 units. Looks promising so far also one in marlette on the first has a motorcycle guns 4 wheeler maybe more.

I am almost wishing I went to Almont.  I went to Clarkston, which is run by Wayne Blair, dude draws like 40 people all the time but most are lookers.

Talked to the lady who bought one of the Hoarder units I saw a few weeks ago and she said she made about $500 or $600 on her unit.

You going to the same auction that has the 4 wheeler and the scooter listed?  I figure that one is going to be packed and go for some insane prices.  Started to hit columbia, SC this morning but both kids had sports stuff so missed out.  If you keep finding such nice units I'm going to have to make the drive to Atlanta :)

gratz man - that is a nice score.

@craigslstauction
Me and acman arent to far from each other in michigan and its seeming we are going unto each others stomping grounds hehe.

@ acman
I went to my first auction down south of 8mile on telegraph I think it was and it was a caravan auction. Lot of nice units couple bad in my opinion but it was run by wayne blair auction company. Only brought in about 20 bidders total so prices werent high but still above my price. So far ive found that if you stay to the outskirts of the cities or in small towns your bound to get better lkrs lower prices. I will keep you updated on the lkrs prices and the types of units around here. Just dont steal the lkrs I want lol.
