Yes, I've got a place off-grid. Refrigeration is no problem. I've got a Sundanzer super-efficient fridge made for off-grid. Runs on 12-24 volts DC (or 120 VAC). 5.8 cubic foot storage. Draws 77 watt-hours per day at 70 degrees F, 168 watt-hours at 90 degrees F, etc. So - at 70 degrees F it draws an average of less then one amp per hour (actually 1/4 amp per hour at 12 volts). At 90 degrees F it draws 1/2 amp per hour at 12 volts. An el-cheapo Walmart 12 volt marine-RV battery rated at 110 amp-hours could run the fridge for a week at 70 degrees F before needing a recharge. My point being it takes very little power to run a good fridge made for off-grid. One 100 watt solar panel hooked to a battery would easily power the fridge with the battery never reaching discharge- even with half the days dark and cloudy. A 100 watt panel on a sunny day will produce over 800 watts-hours on a summer day and 500 watt-hours on a bright and short winter day.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
