Crazy Ass Auctions

Auctions are a really funny thing. They change from day to day. In my area, computers often go online for 10-15.00 EXCEPT on Thursdays. For some reason, the guys that are hot and heavy about overpaying for computers just don't bid on Thursday and I pick them up for 2-3.00. I don't find much on GovDeals. Things just go for too much. I always have better luck on small auction sites and local auctions. There are plenty of other superior sites to GovDeals that have very low traffic. If you don't live next door to me send me a PM and I'll share.

I know why they're not bidding on Thursdays. That's the day the estate sales start and they're all trying to make a killing buying stuff from them!

That's a pretty interesting take.

Estate sales around here are priced even stooopiderer than auctions.

I walked in to one home a coupla weeks ago, first thing I spotted was a bookshelf with a set of encyclopaedias from 1968. That caught my eye since I was born that year. They wanted.... get this.... $400 frickin $#%@^$ dollars for a set of encyclopaedias that are 45 frickin $#%*&@$ years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I turned around & left.
