I went to the auction of a defunct health club yesterday in hopes of buying some items for scrap. Well good old bidder number 37 was there buying everything up and seemed to have pretty deep pockets, so I chatted him up. Turns out he is an exercise equipment broker, and why,yes, he IS interested in buying the treadmills weights and other equipment I have been scrapping. HE was a better find than anything I might have gotten from the auction!
So I hung around and got a room full of lockers for stupid cheap, and talked to the guys next to me. Turns out he owns a construction company and they just throw all their metal scrap in a dumpster, and why certainly he'd be happy to let me haul off metals if he got a percentage!
Finally was talking to the auctioneer and asked what they would be doing with the unsold items (there were a few metal things) and he introduced me to the building owner. Turns out he is going to pay me to haul off the unsold items.
Getting back on auctionzip.com this morning!
