<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1242706, member: 13650"]They can be decent. Depends on how well they're advertised. I've gotten stuff pushed on me for way under melt as the only person buying out of a storage unit. I've also been to auctions where the good stuff (coins, etc.) are sold last. So if you get there early, you'll be waiting hours and hours to find out 15 to 20 people were also waiting to get to the coins. Now out of the 20 or so people, you only need 2 people that are so tired of waiting around that they're going to bid stuff up unrealistically. While others just don't know values and gladly over pay. Not much fun. </p><p> Some people won't go to an auction. It's too frustrating as it takes way too long to get to the good stuff. When they finally get to it, people are so tired and angry that they become bound and determined to win something. They're not going to go home empty handed. Maybe even becomes a little of wanting to impress everybody else that's there. </p><p> You see, everybody gets the same idea that stuff's going to go cheap.
