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.

Do you know what the Nu-Boston post hole digger went for? :wo:

The post hole digger went for $25. Santa was there with olive and visited for about an hour.
if went there i hope i was in the little family sedan; if i had the truck it probablu would have gotten full.
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:

Thats what happens to me. :biggrin: :biggrin:
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:
There were five at this sale and you'de have thought after 100 years some of them would have seen some use :confused: :shrug:.
wow ... everything went so cheap
What price was the tractor?
