A good number of them spent that hour at the local bars eating a microwave heated sandwich which they washed down with plenty liquid refreshment. The afternoon bidding was spirited with a few of the bidders laughing,giggling and acting strange while bidding on things they had a hard time focusing their eyes on. Many well worn shop items were bringing from 100-300% of new price. The old owner who looked serious and a little sad in the am,was grining from ear to ear in the pm portion of his sale. He had a good sale :)
