For over 15 years now my wife and I have maintained two homes. One in town and one on the farm. At 72 years of age we finally made the decision and sold the home in town. 12 acres and large shop. We have traveled all over the world and done a lot of collecting over the years. After selling the house decided we just did not need a lot of things. Spent about two weeks getting it all out in the shop and ready. Hired one of the best auctioneers I knew and they ran two rings 9 to 1 and sold over 800 items . One ring furniture , house decorations ,kitchen stuff ect, then the other my shop things like metal working equipment, welders, tools and outside stuff ,yard tractor and mowers. Some things I thought would hit a home run brought next to nothing the very next thing would go sky high. My message to all of you is hang on to anything because they will buy that jack that does not work or chainsaw that does not run. Was a very interesting day. Stood an talked with a guy said "Yea this got in trouble they are selling out" Another one was just sure I had passed away two years ago.
One hot day but fun seeing folks prowl thru junk I had brought from the farm.
