Gotta respond to this one- IMHO, "auction" is just another way of saying
"getting
screwed" I recently went to an auction where they were selling a hobbyists 30
year collection of tools,parts, etc. I wanted a good quality 2 1/2 ton floor
jack, there were
3, rather greasy, but they worked. Retail these would go for about $80.00.
All three sold for $75.00 or higher. It ended for me when the auctioneer held
up a cardboard box with an old bottle of Windex ( 1/4 inch left in it) and
some used rags and some damn idiot paid $1.00 for it!!!  A bit of advice-
when you kick, tell your heirs to sell your stuff auction style, don't have a
yard sale. Apparently people lose all common sense at an auction.   Jeff S.
