🎙️ Auction story time, junk hunters — this one's a legend.
A while back I was bidding on an online auction and I thought I was bidding on single bras. My bid was about $14, so I figured I'd go pick up a case.
I show up for pickup... and they tell me I won EIGHT pallets. Over 3,500 bras. 😅
Now I'm standing there thinking — how in the world am I going to get rid of 3,500 bras?!
So I did what any reseller would do. I set up on the roadside for a few days, sold them to people at work, to friends — a dollar a piece. That moved a bunch, but I was still staring at boxes.
Then I got an idea. I called our local radio station — they had a daily call-in show called Dial-a-Trade where folks buy and sell stuff on the air. I went on, told the story, and a woman called in and offered me fifty cents a piece for the whole lot.
SOLD. Every last one. Walked away with a big profit off a $14 bid. 💰
That's the auction life — sometimes you win a case, sometimes you win eight pallets of bras. You just figure it out.
What's the wildest thing YOU ever accidentally won at an auction?
