way back when.... I think I was 19 or so... I worked for an auto auction co. We had the state contract for seized vehicles and impounds that were never claimed. I needed a car, (by need, I mean I was driving a 79 olds that was possessed and spending $100 a week in gas ...when gas was $.99 a gallon!!), so i scrimped and saved and put away $2000 to buy a car. Ended up getting the car I wanted for $1000. Took the other money and bought a second car on the same day for $900. Put it on Craigslist and sold it for $1600. I kept doing this for about a year. Then I ended up with 4 cars in the driveway that nobody wanted to buy and I ended up $100 in the hole. Decided it was time to stop.

Auctions are awesome! Last year i bought 2 invicta watches *retail $400 each, a Stuhrling watch, a Victoria Crown and Co necklace *retail $800, and a cool car shaped radio as a lot for $12! And they even threw in free shipping! It was my best buy ever!
