LOVE auctions!!! :-) I like to look through boxes - sometimes there are buried treasures in them and its alot of fun to go thru them.
We quit going for lack of funds for now. Also there are only a few auctioneers around here and they started to get to know us and they would mention us by name - man I hate that !!!! Knew we were buying too much when people would ask us if we were in the business and where our shop was lol
If you have the funds - now is the time to go - the economy the way it is alot of the dealers cant afford to spend much so great deals could be had.
The weather does play a part in auctioning lol We stood in snow once - It was coming down hard and there were a few things we wanted and the crowd dwindled down. Unfortunately the very few who stayed must have decided if they had to endure this kind of weather they were going home with stuff no matter how much it cost!!! We stayed and was able to get a few things for a good price. :thumbup: :-)
