I went to a local storage auction last week. Two other bidders there. The unit was 5x15 feet, stacked up pretty high. Everything was in sealed boxes, no way of knowing what was in them...
I should have passed, but nobody else bid, so I opened with $10.... And Got it.
Went back and started cleaning it out, box after box of JUNK. I mean total garbage. There was even boxes of canned food in there that were all rusty.
I ended up with a couple items of interest. One is a five shooter, maybe .38 (?) it is called American Bull Dog.
My wife is going through a bunch of jewelry, mostly costume stuff, but some gold and silver. Nothing of high value.
So for $10 I got to go to the dump and pay $57 to get rid of somebody else's crap.
It was kind of a treasure hunt, but no treasure at the end. Will I do it again? Maybe, but I will try to be a little more selective!
