    Bid on first auction

    Last week I bid and won a lot of 24 towers on gov deals.Paid 78.75. With fuel cost I stayed at the 5 dollar mark. I drove 275miles. There was 1 extra tower, 2 flat screen monitors and cables mice and keyboards included. I like to make money.

    That's a good price but the mileage is tough for me to take. I guess if I had a another reason to go that direction I could justify it. Its great to get that experience under your belt giving you another way to pick up material. Mike.

    Awesome job on winning the auction!! The purchse price is also a fairly excellent price (if the towers are complete), even with the drive time and distance I could very well make decent money on that deal.

    Nice job JonnieBrass !!!

    Sounds like something up Albany way. Prices are usually better up there than they are downstate by me....nice pickup.
