Auction currently at $170. Ends at 7:30PM
I occasionally view listings at a local auction site (auctionsinternational.com) and came across an auction from CIL Asset Recovery. The location is nearby (Hamburg), so I decided to have a look at the items.
Turns out there is some great stuff including a Sjoberg workbench. If you are a woodworker, you have probably seen the high end workbenches from Sjoberg, wanted one, and then looked at the price tag and walked away. They are pricey. A relatively simple looking bench can run over $1,000. However, they are precision pieces and are priced accordingly. The vise isn’t going to be out of alignment in a month like the $50 special that you might be using.

Here is the exact same bench at Amazon.com for $545. Even at $545, it is a good price, but for less than $200??!!
For the fans of “Storage Wars” or “Auction Hunters” I bring you some information regarding some storage unit auctions in the Buffalo NY area. Enjoy. Happy bidding!

Are you in need of some inexpensive hardwood? Do you like auctions, or just enjoy a good (perhaps great) deal?
Buffalo Hardwood Flooring Auction
There is a hardwood flooring auction going on at Auctions International. They are located in Cheektowaga, NY and are the online auction site that CIL Asset Recovery utilizes. CIL is located in Hamburg, NY.
Take a look for yourself (click this listing above). You can bid online. Bidding is priced per square foot of flooring and you are purchasing the entire lot when you place a bid.
If you are looking for area rugs, you might want to attend the Carroll rug auction on 9/2/2011. Most of us from Western New York are familiar with Carroll rug and know that there is (was) some quality product sold there.
Cash Cunningham is holding an auction of the remaining inventory.
Begins: Saturday, September 03, 2011 at 10:00 AM EDT
Location: 3291 Walden Ave, (Just East of Transit Road), Depew, NY 14043

December 2010 saw the premier of Storage Wars, A&E’s entry into the hot antiques and collectibles show space. There are other shows with a similar theme such as Auction Hunters on Spike TV.
If you are based in the Buffalo area (WNY region), you too can join the storage locker auction frenzy and hope for the best (see below for details on a Jan 19, 2011 auction). There are always storage auctions throughout the WNY region and one local site that will alert you to local storage locker auctions is auctionsinternational.com.
Auction Hunters - Spike TV
Expect the competition to be high and be prepared to meet local storage locker buyers who are fed up with all of the newbies (YOU!) entering their space. You win some, you lose some in the auction market but the big wins should make up for the duds. With more competition fighting for the goods, the margins will get tighter and tighter. You should also ask yourself a couple of questions before bidding.
- Do I have room for all of this junk (smelly junk)?
- Will my significant other stick by me as I bring loads of stuff home?
The shows on TV are certainly fabricated to a degree. I am sure that they have made big finds in the past, but not at every auction. If you read the disclaimer the precedes the airing of the show, you will see that it essentially says that the items are examples of the finds that were made in the past. My hunch is that they seed a single item for each show. The hosts are good actors, but it is fairly obvious that they are “finding” items that have been placed to tell the story of the past find.
If you go to a storage auction, you might be entertained, or you might simply become disillusioned. I can tell you this, you will have a different view of shows like Storage Wars after your live auction experience.
