Well, went to my honey hole auction yesterday and they only had one junk electric saw. They did have a beautiful Kelly Perfect double bit ax that I wanted bad. I figured with the crowd there I'd get it for $10. Told my cousin I might go $15-$20 it was so nice. Then this guy walks up and I go oh ratz. He has out bid me on every ax that we have bid against each other. Bidding started at $5, I went to $40, and he got it for $45.My cousins says, Are you nuts, you went double your max". He won't go 50 cents over his max, no matter how much he likes the item. I said, " I don't even know what I bid, I was just driving it up on that guy. I can't stand him, he gets every ax I want". As we were leaving the guy waved at me. The ax was in a wooden nail keg with some other junk in it. He asked what I was bidding on, if it wasn't the ax he was going to give it to me. We got to talking and he said last summer he bought a collection of axes from a guy on the Eastern Shore of MD for $10,000, 1200 axes. Turned out to be a decent guy. In another building I almost fell over laughing. In one isle were several boxes of old old hard core **** mags. Guys would pick em up and look, gals would blush and walk away. So, we are a few isles down looking at two heavy duty draw bars for a class 4 hitch. They guy next to us is rooting through a heavy black canvas back pack. The zippers were rusted and wouldn't move, so his hand would just squeeze in. He pulls out another old **** mag, laughs, and stuffs it back in. He keeps rooting around and pulls out a 3 headed soft rubber "Willy", he cussed and started spitting on his hand, wiping it on his pants. It's not uncommon to find sex toys in house hold boxes, but the way he jumped, cussed, and threw it down, I thought he grabbed a live rat. Oh Well, better luck next sale.
