Response to Original message
3. I've been to a few storage auctions ....
not that I was looking to pick the bones of others and I never bidded since I was looking for very specific items (usually old beta or VHS tapes; I collect original airing TV programs that were recorded off TV with the commercials intact or items not on DVD like newscasts or sporting events from the 70's or 80's ... I uploaded some of the newscasts on youtube and got a good reaction here.)

I never found any and if I did win an unit I would give everything else back (heck, I would give the tapes back ... after converting them to DVD.)

However, it was sad seeing pictures and other personal items of no re-sell value (most people who bid on these units are flea market vendors/used store owners) knowing they would be thrown-out.
