won my first surplus auction today, but i think i might have sold myself short. i had 8 big machines i was bidding on, and got tied up with a stupid doctor appointment that they wouldnt let me change so i only won one of them. i hate learning things the hard way but those lessons stick the most. how often do you guys end up not breaking even due to having to travel and ending up in a situation like this? i dont think i will loose but not the score i thought, and the other stuff went for more than i would have paid, but were all in later lots so i couldnt do anything about it anyhow.
