Will we ever place a bid?

We went to an auction again last Saturday. It's the same one we went to last month; they have this particular auction the second Saturday of every month. We hadn't made definite plans to go to this one on Saturday, so we got a late start. It was another beautiful, cool, brisk morning. Gotta love the fall season.

Here is what we missed due to being late. This is a '66 Mustang, it's a classic. It looks similar to my '67 Mustang, which is stored at our property up north. We don't know what it went for. If we had been there in time for the bidding, I most likely would have placed a bid. Maybe it was a good thing we didn't show up on time, I'm not sure I could have stopped bidding, no matter how high it went. This Mustang looked like it was in excellent condition, inside and out.



The auctioneer truck didn't need to be pulled along this time, the truck was up and running.



This is Caitie's favorite part; she loves sitting in all the tractors and big trucks. Some of the guys looking at the tractors and trucks make comments about 'the pretty little gal' pretending to drive them. She stands out at these auctions.

















She's starting to pick up some bad habits at these auctions. Hopefully she doesn't start spitting. ha



We were thinking of bidding on this RV. It wasn't the nicest looking one, but if we could have gotten it cheap, we would have went for it. Little did we know at the time we were looking at it that it was already sold. Caitie enjoyed playing in it, and was hoping we would be driving it home. Oh well... that's the way these auctions have been going for us; either we're too late to bid on something, or we chicken out at the last minute, and end up leaving empty-handed. Maybe this is telling us something?

That's the trusty mini-laptop in the pic; we were looking up pricing on the year of this particular RV. That's me in the mirror; like my hat?



We didn't notice this big rig until we were leaving. That's probably a good thing, we would have thought about bidding on it had we seen it in time. Why do we do this to ourselves? Bidding on eBay is stressful enough. ha
