Yep. I also heard the "washing machines...washing machines" at 0:59. I wonder what else was auctioned off. I've been to one of these government auctions before, but that one was by the state DOT, and they were selling surplus vehicles. I see, however, that there was lots of nice stuff at this auction. Flat screens, equipment, motorcycles, and what looks like pallets of different customs-seized stuff. If you have more video of what can be found at these auctions, I'd very much like to see it.

I think I'm going to have to get myself to one of these auctions. Looks like there are lots of bargains to be had.
