Paul: Only way to treat an auction, I never go looking for anything in particular. I always find if I have some item in mind it will undoubtedly sell for way too much money. At 62, I don't buy a whole lot anymore. I see like you bargains galore out there. I really don't want to acumulate a whole lot of iron. My garden is really my big hobby and if it takes 3 - 20 hp tractors to do that, so be it. A friend of mine now in his late 70s used to fill his pickup and 20' trailer at every auction. He had the better part of 5 acres filled with projects. Problem was his health deteriorated to point whereby his projects never got done. Subdivisions grew up on both sides of him. Then one day he got a visit from the Municipal unsightly premices officer, his treasures had to go. His 6 children came one weekend and moved it all to a son's gravel pit. There it still sits. He has since become a widower and now lives with one of his sons and family. Tells me he has a new set of rules to live by. He can still go to auctions, but it's hand tools and 1/16 farm toys only. It will happen to us all, but my gosh aren't we having fun in the meantime..
