Auction or no Auction

[S.Simons]

My hats off to the good job auctioneers do at their sales, but in the last several years I've been getting alot better buys on buying privately. The last major item I bought at a sale was 2006 Anyone here have the same experiance.....

I like to buy stuff any way I can. I have bought stuff at some auctions this year for less than I would ever have the nerve to offer someone. Maybe you're just not willing to pay enough these days

It always depends on the crowd at the auction, I have seen some where the prices were HIGH and bidding HOT, but other times like I have herad the saying, "They were just giving stuff away" and everything in between. Yes there have been some record prices paid at auctions in past fews years, but I also bet that there have many bargains as well.

Like Joe said I also have bought items at auction for less then I would have offered some one, and also paid what the seller was asking as it was a good deal. then again I have walked away from things I really wanted as the seller was asking more then I thought it was worth (or what my pocket book could afford)

Just my 2 cents worth
