The deal was that she would help us load and then she could pick something out of what we bought. Worked like a charm. You got some good stuff.Otter Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150285495175373444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-15579842506930187332011-10-24T17:23:14.732-05:002011-10-24T17:23:14.732-05:00Sounds like a great auction!

What a steal! I still have mine from my childhood, and every once in a while I rearrange the furniture in it.

I will not allow myself to go to auctions...I think that would be way too dangerous :) Just the mystery alone of $1 box lots would be too much for me to pass up. The entertainment of going through it is alone worth a dollar!<br /><br />Interesting on the tractor seat, we sold one of my grandpa's totally rusted tractor seats at our last garage sale for $10. Oops. What do people do with them?! It was an older guy that bought it so maybe actually for his tractor??!?Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351565874385012563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-38431163986387273122011-10-23T20:58:09.226-05:002011-10-23T20:58:09.226-05:00Omg, Shara!!

I am a little shy about going to auctions; I think it's because I'm afraid I'll get caught up in the moment and end up spending $500 when I wanted to spend $5! Haha! Maybe this winter I will venture to the local weekly auction where I know some of the people so I can get my feet wet.<br /><br />You found some great buys and were savvy enough to get them. What fun you will have decorating the doll house. And good job running up the price on the tag team bidders, too.Tammy at Tammy Loves Disheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382927672547593783noreply@blogger.com
