Bad weather, but good auction

Today we had a winter storm in Memphis, not often we have 5inches of snow.
This changed the auction a bit, as the first to locations have been moved to wedensday.

Well we hit about 9 locations today and the units ranged from really bad to extreamly good.
2 units sold for over $1400.00 and they was worth every penny. To hig for me right now, since i am looking for several units. And more auction days coming up.

Most units sold today for between $200.00 and $500.00 some of them way overpriced.
About 10-12 units went for under $100.00 and i felt that this was where you made the best buys today.

I got a unit for $25.00 and i have to say i am happy with it. Not alot of things in it, but the things that was in it was good. I have customers asking for those kind of products, so it should sell pretty fast.

I got:
2 printers
5 monitors
one box with 34 books, in good condition.
one treasure chest from the 1930's
4 old wooden USA made, from around the 40's and 50's i guess.
+ one thing i am not sure what is, but i think it is from WWII, and i think it was used by fighter plane pilots. I have to take it to someone to have it verified.
In the wooden chest there was about 15-20 books from the 1920's and 1930's. They are not in great condition, but still special so i want to have it checked out.

My spending was $25.00 i have customers on two of the desks, and together that will bring in $400.00
Everything else i sell from this will be bonus.

I have posted some pictures on our facebook page, and you can see them here.
