We did get some pretty good deals, though. The last time they had this auction last year, I was lusting over these beautiful turned, fluted oak spindles but I had to stop bidding when they went over $5.00 each. So I was happy to have a second chance at 72 of them. The same guy that bid against me at the last auction was there and sitting next to them ALL DAY, so I was certain he would bid it up again. Turns out he only needed 24 of them and he dropped out early, so I got them for just $1.40 each. These retail for over $10!
We also picked up the really cool lawn cart in the pic above. It's 12 cu. ft and that puppy retails for $261.99 at Sears right now. We were happy to get it for just $75 even if it did require assembly. Plus we got a huge stainless steel cabinet for just $10 (J.'s planning on putting it in the shed), some wrenches for 1/2 price, and an entire box full of cords for our generator for just $8.00.
Score! What goodies have you found at auctions lately?
Hi Cranky Puppy,
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog. Where was the auction? I'd love more info.
Good luck in all your endeavors!
Thanks!
