Title: Farm Auction
Post by: pitw on October 23, 2008, 07:51:21 AM
Went to an auction sale for a neighbor yesterday.  Farm/ranch had been in the family for near a century.  Thought I'd show you some pic's of how we get rid of stuff and the stuff we gather.

You sure do hate to see land leaving a family's hand after that many years, but there could be good reasons.  Looks like the kind of sales that I love to attend - lots of things that I really don't need, but while there think I can't live without.  There seems to be a good crowd and even Santa was there.  I am thinking that Santa just pretty much stayed in one spot until the end.

The post hole digger went for $25.  Santa was there with olive and visited for about an hour.

I could go on foot, leave broke, and have to make two trips with a pickup.  :rolleye:

I only need a post hole digger about every three or four years, but I think if I was there I would have run the price up a little more than $25.

There's a sale like that every weekend around here. It's unbelievable some of the things you can find at these sales and at some darn good prices to boot. :eyebrow:

I just bought one last year & paid $150(new) & was tickled to get it.  Rarely see that type of posthole digger around here. Had one on the farm growing up.  :biggrin:
