There wasn't anything...

Could anyone please explain, what does "there wasn’t anything worth getting" means? Can I say like this? "there wasn't anything worthwhile"

? How did you do at the auction?" "We really struck out – there wasn’t anything worth getting."

" We did not see anything on offer that interested us. For example, you collect sports memorabilia. The auction just had kitchen appliances and you don't need or want anything for the kitchen.
