Went to an auction a few weekends ago. It was an estate auction. I spent some time poking around until my foot hit this under a workbench...
About 225lbs of Lino plus some nice 50/50 bars. I couldn't back away from that pile fast enough. I tried to look uninterested when the auctioneer got to that lot. He opened at $150...I thought "I'm out". But no one twitched. Everyone turned to stone. I stood in disbelief as the opening price dropped down, down, down...People started to wander away. It got down to five bucks. A scrapper raised the first bid. I stepped up and looked him right in the eye. Every time he opened his mouth, I just said "yep"...he walked away at $17.00.
Made the rest of my week!
