Quoted from xsvtoys:

Before the pandemic for a while I was into looking for retro stereo stuff, like 70s era. Problem is, around here, there are pro vultures who apparently do this for a living and they generally get there first and get the good stuff. I would look through the pictures before the sales and sometimes I would see nice stuff from Marantz, McIntosh, etc, and I would go over there at opening time the first day. That stuff was always already gone. I asked one of the auction people about and they said those guys get there hours early and paid good prices.
Beyond that, I haven’t really found too much that was decent. There tends to be a lot of plain old household stuff and various junk. There can be good deals on tools sometimes.
If you keep your eyes open and are persistent there is always the chance to hit a really good one, like this one I went to a few years ago. This guy had well over 500 model planes, tanks, ships, etc along with tons of HO train stuff. I walked out with a big pile from that one!
