Auctions

We have been having fun going to auctions.  Recently we went to an auction where the man had been a hoarder and collector.  His backyard was full of sheds of stuff. My son got several items that could be valuable, like $1000. ea.  I bid on a lot of stuff for $5.  It included an old wheel barrow and a huge pressure canner along with misc other useful items.  I could pick and choose what I wanted out of the lot and the rest would go to the garbage.  The canner is complete with the little rocker weight that goes on the steam outlet and my son took to hard tires from a broken cart I had and replaced the wheel.  It works wonderful.  We also got another lot for $3. and that includes a market unbrella with wooden spokes and many chairs.  Auctions are a way to get many useful items and collectables for a small pricetag.
