My dad's friend been doing those auctions in Florida for years and did pretty well. He said the same thing and doesn't buy as much these days cause said people watch those shows and go ape shit thinking someone planted a treasure in their locker as well.
I think it would be fun to go but the bidding aspect would probably make my competitive nature trump sanity. $1000 for a chair and some used q-tips, score! |
Not long after the show became really popular I saw a couple of guys get in a bidding war over a shitty 5x5 unit that literally had about 5 garbage bags in it (you couldn't see what was in them but 95% of the time is either clothing, sheets, blankets or actual garbage), a typical lazy boy style recliner in poor shape, a particle board entertainment center they likely won't be able to give away and a few random small, shitty item. Very likely nothing of value here and they battled until one guy bought it for $600. Half the people there laughed at him and told him he would have been better off to just light the $600 on fire.
I never saw him at another auction. I think he learned a lesson.
