Yesterday was the second day of a two day local annual consignment auction. I reported on the first day Friday evening.
Yesterday was all the household, shop, and lawn stuff. It was raining heavily when the auction started. By 11:30 am it was snowing rather heavily with a wet snow. Probably got about an inch before it turned back to rain. By 2pm it stopped raining and snowing, both.
By 11:00 I was soaked and said "Screw this", and started for home. Drove around the block and lucked into a parking spot in a perfect location to see everything, so I sat in my pickup with the heater on and watched the action while I warmed up and dried off.
Between what I bought and what I sold, I think I about broke even for the day. Bought a clean 30 amp battery charger with a 200 amp boost for $10. Bought a nice set of four alloy wheels like my 2000 Chevy pickup has for $22 per, or $88 total. Tires are bald, but I figured for the price the wheels were good property.
Sold a bunch of stuff, with the weather like it was I don't know what some brought, and won't until I get the check, but a well used portable cement mixer needing a run capacitor on the motor brought $55. A wood fired smoker I bought on the same auction five years ago for $12 and never used brought $15. A John Deere 111 mower with the piston and half the connecting rod in box on the seat sold, but I'm not sure what it brought. Etc., Etc.

The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner.
