It's kind of funny how auctions work. Somethings you expect to bring big money go for nothing, and sometimes people pay way too much for crap!

I have been to many a farm sales, and people will buy absolte poop, for more that what they can go to walmart or any place else for that matter and buy it new for. i went to one a few weeks ago, i was looking at a pile of 18" by 20ft long plastic culvert. i can buy them all day long at $225 each. Some dip bought the whole pile of 6 for $1500.00. It just doesn't make sense sometimes!!
