Thought I'd share here as the day goes on. Supposed to start at 8, now half past and just getting to it.
Lots of old crap here. Lots of boat anchors as well.
So far the only things I really have my eye on is a vbroplex bug, HW101, and a pk 232mbx. I'm sure I'll find other stuff as time goes on. It hard to look as things are jammed up by walkers scooters and the near dead.

Box of wall warts to w0aih for $7

CB radios should be banned from ham radio auctions. Â*I swear they're breeding in the boxes of junk.

The bus from La Crosse finally arrived.

I now regret not bringing a camera. Â*I can begin to describe the woman? In a blue skirt.

Nice solar panel just came up that I was going to bid on until the auction assistant drop tested it and chipped it. Â*Sold for $1

K9TTT is roaming about taking pics. I'll have to look for them on the web later. Â*I hope she's using an ugly filter cuz I'm not that pretty.

Two guys are battling it out and paying insane prices for boxes of tubes.

So far I've bud once on a tnc. Â*I let myself be outbid to the tune of $11. Â*I didn't want it all that bad. should have bought it, I could have turned it over on eBay for a nice profit.

Tempo One rig in good looking shape just sold for $60.

VIC 20 in the box for $6.Â*

Hams sure talk smack about CB amps in the interwebs but show no reluctance to bid like fools on them.

There is an unbuilt Heathkit 2m rig. Â*I can't wait to see what that sells for.

It should be legal to shoot other bidders. Â*Same two guys buying up everything year after year.

who brings shoes and hats to sell at a ham auction? Â*What next, used underwear?

Unbuilt heathkit 2m rig sold for $145

Must be close to lunch, the crowd is getting smaller.

I could retire on what boxes
Of tubes are going for.

Someone has crapped their pants.

And home. What a day. Stopped in at the Azul Tequila restaurant and had a margarita with my elderly sister, then off to Harbor Freight, Big Lots, and finally supper at Huhot. Stick a fork in me, I'm done!
