you win some and lose some,,today , I sacrificed a good used new idea 250 dollar 3pt fertilizer spreader at local consignment auction ,,I do a lot of biznes there . ,,. it was odd, auctioner tried startin at 300 and fell all the way down to 60 bux, and then dropped the hammer SOLD , it all happened in 30 seconds time ,,while I was trying to tell if he had 160 or just,, 60 ,when auctioneer hollered sold ,. the catch bid never even got another bid ,,NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS ,, I WILL HOLLER OUT NO SALE ,,. told the owner auctioneer, I was not pleased how junior auctioneer gave up so quikly ,,. he asked why did I not bid it up , and I told him it went way too fast, before anyone had time to think ,, besides I resist pushing up a bid, and no doubt the spreader would had brought more if more time would had been spent on it ,it was probably the bargain for the long day , if I asked the auctioneer to waive his fee,, I Know He would ,, but in all honesty ,,. Everything is probably better left unsaid , and the law of averages will win out over time,, just glad it was on a small item
