rockyridgefarms post on the auction crowd got me thinking about some of the personalities you see at the farm auctions. some of my pet peeve guys are as follows. the "i must start up every piece of machinery that has an engine even tho i am not going to bid on it. if it will not start , they either hopelessly flood the engine or kill the battery. then there is the group of guys that stand directly in front of the auction truck blocking it so it cannot move to the next item. then there is the whole group with no bidder cards that stand right in front of the auctioneer blocking views from the active bidders. then there are the guys that come up after the gavel falls and tell you that they would have paid that for what you bought, or, you paid way to much for what you just bought. or the guys that fiddle with a piece of machinery so it wont start, expecting to get it for a cheap price. or the guys that try and steal stuff.....that really ticks me off. but on the lighter side, i enjoy going to auctions and see friends i havent seen last year. i generally go a day or two in advance to view whats up for auction, if i see something i do some due diligence and figure exactly what i will spend on it. some one here a while back had a great quote on auctions.....iirc it went like this.......if you bought something at an auction, you know that you bought it for more than anyone else there was willing to spend on it!!!
