We used to go to those kinds of auctions back when we lived in AL. Most of the stuff was the cheap Chinese made crap that had also taken over at the flea markets.We went to an auction last night That we go to from time to time. They had a case of N95 masks at $3 a box. I don't know why I only got two boxes, maybe'ts because I have about 100 n95 masks already. Not one other person wanted any. And I got six boxes of DayQuil HBP Cold and Flu at $2 a box. One other person got two boxes. Not one damn prepper in the lot. I feel like an alien when I'm out around people. One fellow did say that at some point we may all be wearing masks, but didn't buy any.
Most of the other items they offered were junk. Sometimes they have a fellow that has a lot of food, but not last night. DH got an electric chain saw, a miter saw and a bug whakker.

I am guessing since China is locking down, now the small time auction sellers and flea market sellers, ebay sellers will have to resort to other offerings.
There are good buys still available, don’t get me wrong it’s just the whole second hand industry seemed to have gotten flooded cheap Chinese products.
