Auction Hunters
About the Show
When storage units are put up for auction, Allen Haff and Clinton "Ton" Jones speed into action. The business partners have capitalised on what has become a thriving trade amidst a down economy: buying abandoned storage units in the hope there's valuable property inside. This series follows Haff and Jones as they travel from auction to auction, first showing how they determine their bids after getting only a brief look inside the units. Then if they win the auction, the `dig' begins, a process by which they assess the value of every item in the unit before selling the valuable ones in the antique and collectible markets.
