I hate auctions, so my advice is probably not worth much, but here is a shot.

No offense intended, but the junk is usually sold first. So your Ms and 806s etc will sell at the beginning of the auction, the big stuff at the end.

I don't know how long you need to look over the stuff you're interested in, but if the piece you are interested in is the 1st to sell, 20 minutes before the auction is plenty. You will have time to look at the other stuff as they auction off stuff you don't want.

Up here a check is required after the auction, cash isn't- may be different there. Most of the time, unless for sure you are going to buy something, the guys don't show up with the trailers, they wait and come back in the next few days to grab their prize.

Don't get caught up in the auction frenzy. Decide beforehand what your top dollar is and stop there. That guy you are bidding against might not stop on that extra $50. Don't assume just because a guy got a deal on something that you should have bid on it, you don't know where he was going to stop.
