Auctions

Do any of you like to attend auctions? I love going to estate auctions. I was so hoping there was going to be one this weekend, but there isn't. First one I can find is the 23rd of this month. I need to get out of this house....need to forget about responsibilities for a little while. Just thought an auction would really help. Plus when I go to auctions...I get to see so many people that I don't get to see that often....only at auctions.

I don't mind auctions if there's several things there that I want. I don't like spending a whole day standing around waiting. I think that's why I like flea markets. Also I have a problem with bidding over my top bid!!!! My hand just keeps going up and up!!!!

We used to have some really good auctioneers but the last one just retired. Going to auctions will never be the same!!!

I haven't attended an auction in years. But I do like them. My sister goes to a QVC auction on Saturday nights in Charleston, WV. She's been trying to get me to go with her, she gets some awesome deals!! But they usually don't get back home until around 2a.m. I'd love to go but I am not much of a night owl.

I have never been, but we have 2 auctions close by. The one nearest me is like a Saturday night out for some people. The guy who runs it has been around for years.

I would love to go, but I have to find someone who is experienced to go with. I also never sit still. I'm either playing with my hair, or fidgeting with something, so I'm afraid I will have bought everything, and will have a huge truck out back with all of my stuff in it!

I'm like Diana - I prefer flea markets, rather than auctions. I'm also like Judy, antsy, so I want to buy what i want, when I want it! LOL!
