I went to a sale yesterday and I have never been to one like it.The auctineer was from 160 miles away and he new posted any flyers around or adds in the paper. When I went there were no signs on the road or in the yard. I found out about it the night before from my wife and many people there just drove by and thought it was a yard sale. On this sale there was 18 guns and none brought over 150 dollars and all were old. The auctioneer did not know the make or size of any of these. There were a lot of tools some old and most new in the box. There was a bunch of trac carbs and mags all new or in good shape. To start off the auctioneer upset many of the people there by comments he made about the north part of the state and many left. All total there were about 30 people there and stuff went cheap. The table of carbs and mags did not get any bids because the auctioneer and helpers did not know what they were and he sold the whole table for 1.00. I bought a box of vise grips that had 15 pairs in it for 10.00. Bought my wife a sewing basket for 1.00 and in the bottom of it was some magazines from 1922. There was a set of skidder chains like new and they sold for 5.00
