Real Time Country Auctions
Buying for resale, eBay, Antique malls
Tables of treasuresIn our part of the world country auctions are community events. People come to bid, buy, chat and eat. Most are held indoors in a rented community building and usually last one day (there are exceptions). People often arrive an hour or so early so they can check out the goods before the auction starts and serious buyers make a list of their intended buys. Buyers who are auction savvy and buy for resale have a $ number in mind for their final bid.
Auctions make me smile, they give me a lift and I love the sense of community and talking with friends I haven't seen for awhile. But here is a big warning!! There are no friends when bidding starts at an auction--you have to be a good shoulder shrugger--when you lose a bid you shrug your shoulders, smile and move on!! Conversations can stop in mid-sentence when a coveted item comes up for bid and resume once it's completed.
Here is the look and feel of a country auction in Kansas. This one occurred a few weeks ago on Saturday and started promptly at 10:05 am-completed about 4 pm
