Anyone working any auctions these days?

Last year at this time, I was working a few auctions, but none this year.
Is anyone else getting requests to attend auctions?

Never have been worth it for me to accept an offer. Most of the calls I get are to show up at 6am and stay until 10am and they only will pay $15.00 per hour/ $60.00 per order. I have tried to negoiate for a higher fee and was told NO. No way would I work for that little....hopefully you have had a better rate of pay!!!!! Although, last year this time was dire straights....but not that dire for me.

Still doing auctions, pretty much daily, although most are postponed. Only those non-owner occupied who've been in foreclosure for months are going to sale. The REO biz great though. Bidding wars here for REO properties, eight buyers to a property. Not easy transactions, and frought with lender/seller fees.
