Best deal you've ever gotten at an auction?
I was never a big fan of auctions. My father loves to go to them and always gets great deals on stuff.
I went to one about a month ago and ended up getting a 1998 Palomino Filly camper for $450.00. I couldn't believe some of the deals. Nice couches and recliners going for $5.00.
I guess if nobody there is interested in what you are, you can damn near steal it.
Anybody else gotten any great deals?

I once sold a guy a bunch of Buckeye Tickets that I did not really have and made about $1000
man was he [censored]ed!
the only hard part was cashing the check, because he made it out to.

I never understood this in regards to deer hunting.
People going to West Virginia to hunt deer when some of the best white-tail hunting in the world is right here in Ohio. |

At an auction once I paid 5 cents for every intelligent, thought provoking thread Thump has ever started. Best nickel I ever spent!

Back in 2001, I went to a coin-op auction at the fairgrounds and left with a 1993 Williams Bram Stoker's Dracula pinball machine for $700. That pin routinely goes for $2,200 and up.
