That's not how they work. I haven't been, but it's a madhouse, with a
lot of *highly specialized* auction buyers, who have their names written
on pre-taped sheets, and they rapidly heel-toe-it (running disallowed)
the *instant* the site opens and SLAP! their name on pallets they want.
YOu generally have to buy an entire pallet to get what you want.

YOu must remove the stuff yourself immediately. It's not a store, it's a
step away from the dump for them. It's just a pile of stuff you load in
your truck.
