At the auction..


For the second time this year I went to an auction that was cold, wet, and windy! Upper left is the gauntlet..the cars, boats and vans go through the barn door one at a time for bidding..and then out the side doors. The rest of the warehouse is literally cluttered with rows and rows of boxes with junk (one man's junk, another's treasure) and some rows are filled with furniture and STUFF. Another warehouse held auto stuff..oil drums, shelving with spark plugs, etc. Yet another building was filled with furniture. Outside against the fence people bid on plants..flowers, shruberry and trees. Outside another warehouse were rows of garden things..yard implements, lawn mowers, etc. The bottom picture shows the people all crowded around MORE STUFF..rims, tires, boat engines, lawn furniture and the like. There is a parking area for all vehicles being auctioned..there was a motorcycle attached to a trailer..I guess it was some kind of trike..very unusual. Auctioneers were at each location, hence why we were 3 people bidding under the same number..so as not to miss anything! It was quite a venture!
