There's very few things that will match the excitement and energy found at a good 'ole country auction. If you are a collector or just looking for inventory for your online sales a country auction is a great place to pick up some real gems.
During the next couple of weeks look in the real estate section of your Sunday newspaper to see if you can find an estate auction or an absolute auction to attend. Better yet see if you can find an absolute estate auction.
This past August I attended an incredible absolute estate auction. The owner of the estate had been a collector for most his life. It required three very large tents and a large outdoor set-up to display all he had available for auction. The auction company had done a marvelous job in marketing the event. The opening bids began at 10:00 a.m. and the bidding continued long past 5:00 p.m. It's just an estimate but I'd say throughout the course of the day a good 600+ people went through at one time or another.
