Oh, If I want something, I will go for it at these sales. Not long ago, I was pleased with myself, bidding was slow, and I was about to get a bargain, then a man jumped in, and we went up and up ....he fixed me with a stare, I stared back. He must have seen I was determined, and mouthed across the barn "do you really want this?" Of course I did .....why else was I there waving my catalogue??? So he kindly stopped bidding. Shame he did not do it ten pounds earlier though!!!
It is spoilt when the dealers, and big guys come in though. They snap the best stuff up. Sadly not many of the good old fashioned sales still around. Always makes me smile though. At each one, you get the scrap - big money just now, and alot of eager buyers today. A large chest freezer went for £120!!! Then there is the pile of glass and windows, the land drainage, the buckets full of screws, and bits and bobs. Oh, and the sack tied with baler twine, full of....what exactly, but someone will bid £1 for it!!!
