John Dixon Auction today at The Marriott Chicago - Midway

[Joe Lopez]

The auction is going to continue tomorrow (Sunday) but I watched the first half today. Since I'm new to REI I was wondering what the people with more experience thought of the "deals" that were going down today?

I have the list and all the sold prices, so I was going to run them against a site like zillow and see roughly what the properties could be worth. I know zillow is not as good as using the MLS. I don't have access to the MLS to run comps and since I'm a newb this would be the place I would think to go.

What did you think of the auction? Do you bother with auctions like this?
