After the stunt that Kruse pulled last year on Aumann, can you trust them? Probably trying to figure out how much to charge people just to look. These clowns are a bunch of rip offs. Use to have a lot of respect for Max Armstrong on RFD until he gave a whole show to Kruse.

Would this be the same auction that has appeared for June on Nixon's website? He is listing a Harold Norton Estate auction in Brewster Kansas on June 13.

Nixons had better get something in high gear if that sale is June 13th!

Thanks Mike.......I'm sure folks are running over each other in the scramble to consign.......

I wouldn't ordinarily do this for a non-site supporter but I'll make an exception:

Yeah, well...

Please don't think I am in any way connected to this event. I think I'm busy sorting my sock drawer that weekend.

I don't think I could afford the $100 opportunity to give them my money!

Mike
