On top of the auction, they will also sell liquidation pallets which are great resources for flea marketers, ebayers, and online sellers.” The pallet sales are held weekly.
For those who do not know where the auction location will be, it is directly across from the U.S. Steel mill on the corner of 18th and Grand.
