Anyone that's close and can go should go.

Bring cash too and be ready to spend it.

I went to a Duc dealer auction here and bought some things for resell.  Some things I got a good deal on.  Others, not as much but I still made money.

The trouble with this is that everyone will come out of the wood work and sometimes the bidding will go nutty.

Don't let that stop you.

I bought a brand new ie Monster tank for $120 and withing 30 seconds of the win sold it to the guy bidding against me for $160 laughingdp

I hadden't even paid for it yet Cool

Things to look out for are tools, gear (even if it doesn't fit you, it will sell) signage etc.  Stuff you normally don't have access too.

just be advised this auctioneer charges a 13% buyer's premium or 10% if you pay cash.

it's bullshit but it is commonly done nowadays to reduce the premium charged to the seller.  it just means to bid accordingly.

10% is a little high I think.

I think 6-7% is normal around here.

Maybe it's regional?

I've never been to an auction in New England where a "buyers premium" wasn't charged.

interesting

i've only seen it down south a few times and usually much lower.

it is a bad idea, people end up paying less and the seller gets less.  it only works if the buyers are not paying attention...

It's how auction houses make their money.

The seller doesn't get less, you just pay more.

The extra goes to the auction house for setting up the auction, tagging everything and handling the money.

10% seems high to me, but ive seen that before.

It could still be a deal.

I think 'tiz meant people end up 'spending' less because of the fee.

I agree the 10% premium on cash is high

right, they spend less and as a result, the seller gets less.

if i gotta pay an extra 10% i am gonna bid less...

Looks like no one was watching inventory levels or really running that business!

Looking at the photos it seems to be true
