    Pallet of towers

    I'm kicking myself now for not buying these because at the time I did not know how much they were worth. But the pallet stood like 5ft. high wrapped in cerrand wrap. 2 people went back-and-forth forever but the lot only sold for like $120

    Just because it stopped at $120 when you weren't bidding, doesn't mean it would have stopped at $121 if you were ; )

    I've scared a few bidders away on a live auction for 2 pallets of computers. All seemed to be complete and their were about 50 of them so i knew i was going to go at least up to $250.

    They started the auction at $25. 2 people were going back and forth in increments of 5 and 10. As soon as it hit 90, i said 190. Both of them had this dumb founded look and let the auctioneer say going going sold. before they realized what was going on.
