Has anyone been to one of these? Supposed to be auctions of confiscated and found items. The only one I know of is in Sunshine, Breen Auction Group or something.
Supposedly you can get stuff for ridiculously low prices.

I've been to a couple. Not bad. Auction times are/were usually during the week which is not ideal.
