I'm an auction guy.
I've picked some really good stuff for the farm that are penny's on the dollar. You just have to know what things are worth.

So ... what's the story with the parakeets??

Bought 25 @ $2 ea. Had this great idea id sell em for $10 each. Got home, putt em in a rabbit cage. Next mornin 5 dead and bout 10 missing.....kept a couple, gave rest to neices. The couple I kept were nastiest things ever so they "got away".
Wife still gives me orders...NO Birds, puppies, snakes, turtles, aqauriums or windmills. NOTHING alive.
Oh and no more clothes ir shoes for her unless she is there to pick em out. Seems she doesnt like my taste in her clothes.
Just to let you know, Harbor Freight has a parking lot sale through today. I just remembered. Up to 86% off stuff today.
I am SO glad eyecyou didn't see this post.
Set your highest bid and stick to it.
That's the way it goes. I've picked up tillage equipment that cost thousands new for $100. Might need a little work, but I'm not against work. I've seen some stuff go so high that I couldn't believe it. Some just get into the frenzy of the bid, and can't stop themselves.
Guns being the main example. I was at a farm auction a couple of years ago, when they had one Henry Golden Boy lever gun .22LR in with the lot.
Grandpa had his grandson there, and they kept fondling the gun. When it came up, he won the bid. $1100 bucks. A guy walked up to him during the bidding and showed him new price on his smart phone, but he kept bidding.
Told my kids that when I die, if they don't want my guns, to sell them at auction. Biggest bang for the buck.
I dig auctions too. Last one I bought a lot of shovels, rakes, hoes and a 1950s boy scout ax, with a leather cover, never sharpened or used for $12.
8 years ago I bought a mobile home for $200. Sold axles n frame for 500, little bro striped off aluminum n copper n fixtures...said he made a grand.

I've got another one you are welcome to come get for free, Lurker (or anyone else). The previous owner of the house I bought used it as a work shop for a stained glass business and it's just in the way now.
