The momentum of a medium-sized auction had finally risen.
The starting and closing prices of the previous few storage units were very low, and there was nothing good. The treasure hunters felt like they had been holding back their energy but had nowhere to release it.
This was also the reason why Li Du was not optimistic that he could win the unit. Everyone was cheering. The fishing machine became the breaking point, and the price immediately exploded:
"Eleven thousand dollars!"
"Twelve thousand dollars!"
"I bid fifteen thousand dollars!"
"We have 18,000 yuan here!"
"Twenty thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars!"
The auctioneer was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he kept pointing at the crowd. He made money by taking a commission from the closing prices of the storage units. There was no profit from the previous storage units, but this one could make money.
Hans participated in the bidding. Their bidding was more troublesome, and it was a group of people who discussed it together.
Li Du did not want to participate. What profit could he make from this storage? It was difficult to deal with.
But seeing that the Flagstaff treasure hunters were excited, he could not bear to pour cold water on them, and could only let them be.
He pulled Hans aside and asked in a low voice, "How much is this fishing machine worth?"
Hans was experienced in this area. He could pick up scraps, but he had no confidence in the valuation.
Hans said, "This kind of new fishing machine costs about forty to fifty thousand dollars. If it's second-hand, it can be sold for thirty thousand dollars."
Hearing that it could only be sold for thirty thousand dollars, and now the price had risen to twenty thousand dollars, there was obviously no profit margin.
He frowned and said, "Are you kidding me? Is there a need to continue bidding? Is this fishing machine going to be thrown away for no reason? What if it's broken? "
Hearing this, the enthusiasm of the Flagstaff treasure hunters began to cool down. Yes, what if the fishing machine was broken?
They were so eager to bid because the fishing machine looked new, and did not look like it was broken. They felt that they could make a profit.
If the fishing machine was broken, they would really lose money.
This was the most important thing to pay attention to in the storage auction process. But the previous storage units did not have good stuff, and the appearance of the fishing machine had made many people forget this point.
Li Du's voice was very loud, and many people heard him. Some of the people who were about to bid suddenly calmed down and began to ponder.
The treasure hunter who had bid twenty thousand dollars also hesitated. He had already made his bid, and no one had accepted it. He could only pray that there was no problem with the fishing machine.
Hans looked at him and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Li Du said decisively, "Give up. We'll give up on this unit!"
Without hesitation, he walked to the next storage unit. The Flagstaff crowd had no choice but to follow him.
No one noticed that before Li Du left, he raised his eyebrows and winked at Turis.
Of course, Turis noticed it. He stood there silently, staring at the fishing machine.
Big Beard Carl pulled him back and said, "Let's go, buddy. It's not worth the risk."
Turis pulled him back and said, "But how long has it been since we got anything? Brother, how long has it been since you last made money? This is our chance! "
"It's risky, and it's too dangerous!" Big Beard Karl shouted.
Turis said stubbornly, "I don't care. Twenty-one thousand dollars. I brought this money with me!"
Hans turned around and said, "Are you crazy? Dude, you must be crazy! "
Turis shouted, "It's worth the gamble, isn't it?"
Seeing that Li Du was leaving without a second thought, many treasure hunters followed the crowd and left.
The remaining people were still tempted, but they were even more hesitant. They were all afraid of paying a high price for a faulty fishing machine.
The auctioneer saw that the situation was not good, and did not expect to get a high price. He pointed at Turis and shouted, "Twenty-one thousand dollars going once, twenty-one thousand dollars going twice, twenty-one thousand dollars going thrice! Very good, sold! "
He spoke very quickly. A few treasure hunters who were still tempted did not even have time to react, and then the auction was over.
This made them very angry. Someone said angrily, "I still wanted to bid."
The auctioneer was even angrier. "If you wanted to bid, what were you waiting for? D * mn it, just bid earlier. It's over, let's move on to the next storage unit!"
Li Du, who was at the door of the storage unit, wanted to laugh. He had not expected that they would get the storage unit in such a way.
There was a risk of the fishing machine being damaged, but the risk was not as high as he had said. When he had checked with the little bug, the key parts were all fine.
There were still more than 30 storage units to be auctioned, but Li Du had seen them all. They were not worth much. Although there were many storage units in this auction, there were not many that were worth much.
The auction was still going on in an orderly manner. There was no way to finish the auction that day, and only half of it could be sold. The auction continued on the next day.
In two days, Li Du had won two storage units: number 44 motorcycle storage unit and number 54 shotgun storage unit. The fishing machine storage unit was jointly won by them.
However, the Flagstaff team had gained a lot this time. There were more than 30 treasure hunters, and almost all of them had won a storage unit.
Li Du planned from there. He looked for storage units that were worth something — as long as there was a little bit of value, and he could earn some money and manpower.
In this way, there were a total of 45 storage units. Most of them had something that could be sold, and the Flagstaff treasure hunters had won all of them.
They did not bid on the remaining ten or so storage units. Those were trash storage units, worthless!
Finally, they went to the finance office of the storage company to pay. In a flash, they were all Flagstaff treasure hunters.
The auctioneer came over to take a break. When he saw them, he said in surprise, "God, are you guys going to dominate the storage auction industry in Arizona?"
Li Du said, "No, we're not going to dominate, we're just participating in it."
Next, it was time to clean up the storage units. He had an idea of what was in the storage units, but he still had to supervise them.
The first storage unit to be opened was number 68. The Flagstaff treasure hunters swarmed in to see the fishing machine. There were too many people, and the scene was chaotic.
"Sh * t, Turis, don't push me, I want to go in."
"Who stepped on my foot? D * mmit, it hurts! "
"Hey, the fishing machine looks fine. It's not broken, right?"
Li Du was not interested in the machine. He waved to Hans and said, "Let's go to number 44."
Godzilla and Big Quinn had already opened up the storage unit and were starting to clean it up from the outside. The outside was filled with useless things, at most some welding tools.
Finally, Big Quinn lifted the dusty hood of the motorcycle, and the domineering and flamboyant Magic Beast motorcycle appeared in front of them!
Apart from Li Du, the other three were taken aback when they saw the motorcycle. Then, they did the same thing in unison, which was to rub their eyes …
