Nice. Is there a buyers premium and did you include it in your price?

No premium at govt auctions
Power cord power ranger
So you netted $415? How much time was spent?

I love auctions but it is easy to lose money bidding on boxes the are sealed.
Lost $850 at an auction a locker full of boxes from sony and LG. Thought I hit the motherload, turned out to be boxes of new arts and craft supplies. Darn it.
So we figured the girls at the local woman's shelter would like it. We brought the truck load to them and they loved it. Was just before Xmas and they made Xmas baskets and sold them to fund there Xmas party for the kids.
That good karma came back to us ten fold.

Some gov't auctions do have a premiums and could be as much as 15%. what gov. auction was it? Some auctions can be gold mines. I would never bid on something without seeing it first.Here in florida summer time is the best time to buy at auctions, all the snow birds go back home. Anyway great score.
