Here in Long Beach, CA at Alamitos Bay Marina we have a boat auction twice per year. Come with me and watch people bid on sailboats and power boats. This time the bidding goes nuts; some boats sell for a lot and some don't get a bid at all even though the opening bid at the auction for "boats in the water" is only $400.

These boats are usually in pretty bad shape but this time there was one sailboat, a Cal 46, that was in really good condition and the selling price was on par.

Last auction a lot of sailboats didn't get a bid or sold for very cheap but this auction was different because more sailboats sold at this auction.

This was a fun boat auction to watch but the inventory was a little low if you ask me. I've seen a lot more sailboats at past auctions so be sure to subscribe if you want to know when the next auction is happening and see my next boat auction video.

Thanks for watching! Andy & Misty
