    Depends on how busy you are, and how well you know your scrap. You can sit around all day at the auction see lots of "good" stuff and leave with nothing. Sometimes this is doing better since you could have payed too much. Show up take a look around set your max bidding prices including the buyers premium and any local taxes and any other fees then sit down relax and read a book or something until your items come up. It is very competitive and most people at the auctions around here are re-sellers. I like auctions because I'm patient, they are usually on the weekends, and I don't have to drive around doing pickups I can hopefully or possibly pick it all up in one spot. I also find auctions entertaining and exciting but do not let this make you have a loose pocket.
