Also - around here (west Texas), you need to listen if a pile is selling "one money" or "times the money". The first is the total for the whole pallet full, pile, whatever. The second is price times # of items...

I've seen several guys burned by that.

Also, never assume anything - I wound up with some 220 volt light fixtures one time - not realizing they weren't 110 volt.

Also, sometimes, if the auctioneer is just "pulling bids out of the air", there actually is a reserve on an item. I can't blame a seller for that...

If it is something you are really intent on - be sure and position yourself so one of the ringmen can see you easily. Also, get where you can hear real well.

It's really great fun once you get the hang of it.
