How does this stuff work? If I win one at auction, can I just leave it after I've picked through it? Or do I have to clear it all out? I have to think there are plenty with guns, jewelry, music gear, car parts or even cars, plenty of other valuables. I have time on my hands and like this kind of stuff. How to get started?

I've been to one. What a PITA. gotta clean out the whole unit. Take the trash to the dump. Be prepared to pay wholesale for the schit that you can see from the front door.
Wasn't worth it for me. Rather pan for gold (for the exercise)...
