This is not a Storage Auction, nor a Surplus Auction, nor one held at an Antique mall. It is a Consignor or Estate Auction here in LV that is held once every two weeks. They have lots of tools, and house hold items.. I would say mostly junk. For me it is something to do, that I like and I may just find something to flip?
In LA there is ABLES in Commerce...Off Garfield just S of Washington...Ables holds an Auction every Wednesday and then every three months a Sunday Sale...One Sunday I saw a guy drop $250,000 on a pair of Paul Storr Sterling Silver Wine Buckets..I asked him if he was going to flip them, he said, "No they are for my Dining Room." Back in the day I bought A LOT of Art for cheap at Ables...
There are other Auction houses in LA like Butterfields, Morans, Little Johns in Orange, Chiat specializing in Oriental artifacts and 3 or 4 lessor houses that generally auction off lessor stuff.
