I was late to bid in the pallet auction this morning. Apparently my brain didn't fully process the remaining time because the auctions ended before I checked the site. On a bright note, the site shows the final bid for items, which helped give an idea of what to expect from different kinds of lots.
Items that were clear winners were bid up much higher than pallets that had a lot of unknowns, especially when those unknowns are large and not easily movable. Like these metal stairs (2 stair cases plus 6 rolls of plastic wrap) for $25. Probably one of those plastic wrap rolls is worth $25.
Here's a metal staircase on ebay that sold within the last 24 hours.
Anyway, I ended up selling 3 knives for a total of $140. Shipped them out yesterday. I've got a watcher on a $70 necklace that I picked up for $14 at an estate sale.
Took a chance on a couple of items at the landfill thrift store today. They had a bin of free stuff, so I grabbed a couple items out of it too. One is a college text that sells for $20 - $40 (pretty good considering I got it free).
There's another pallet auction place a bit closer to me. Their auctions end on a different day of the week, so I'm keeping an eye on both places now.
Looks like the average ending bid prices were between $200 and $500 with some outliers that were much lower or much higher.
