Thread: Went to an auction Saturday.

Don,
Interesting post! I have seen that "other" show once (Auction Hunters??) and it is intriquing. I may have to watch the KC Star for details - I assume they list in the "Auctions" section of the want ads?

Yep, Roger, and you can also phone all the storage places in your area and ask if and when they hold these. Some will even put you on a mailing/emailing list to notify you before one happens. That is how I knew this one was coming up this past Saturday.

The last one I went to (where I bought the cement mixer unit) there was one 10 x 20 foot unit that was stacked to the ceiling with all Edsel parts..........fenders, doors, tail lights, dashboards, glass, steering wheels, bumpers, engine parts, and about a zillion pieces of chrome trim. It went for only $ 900 and I really considered buying it and selling the stuff on Ebay. BUT, I know very little about the various years and models of Edsels, so you would have to research and catalog each and every part. It also looked like a Herculean task to get everything out of there, especially in a day or two. I would have had to rerent the same unit from them and work out of there. But a guy could have made some serious money if he took his time and did it right.

I have thought about going to some of those then the Tv shows started so I figured now everyone would start now. you can go to auctionzip dot com and find them there as well as other auctions.

Yep, that is exactly what is going to happen........people watch those shows and see them finding guns, money, cars, etc in there and think "I can do that." The sad truth is, most people who default are just poor working stiffs like you and me, and don't have those kinds of things laying in storage buildings.

True to Hollywood, they are doing the same things to these new shows as they did to American Chopper , American Hot Rod, and all the rest. The Producers get involved and throw in some drama and stuff that never really happens. Last week on Storage Wars, one guy had a Little Person come with him, put him on stilts, with a night vision scope on his head so he could see better into the storage unit.

The Auction Hunter that I saw had a written lead statement that this show was the four best outings of the year, which means there were a lot of loads to the dump for the four money makers....

DON P.M. me what you'd take for the Cuckoo clock.
