Auction Wisdom !

My Wisdom ... For Wisdom Wednesday ! Have you ever gone to an auction ?  This is a fantastic place to pick up quality household goodies that are really inexpensive !  While living in CT  my GF and I would go frequently.  
1. Go to the preview
 2. Know what you want
 3. Set $LIMIT !! 
4. Beware of the adrenaline rush!! It can somehow make you bid higher than you want!!
5. Get to know the auctioneer workers . They have the inside scoop
6. Be prepared to pay when you win 
7. Box lots yield big goodies!
8. Pay attention to the pro bidders ( wealth of info)
9. Beware of bidders remorse!  Once you win !! It's yours ! 
10. Drive a big enough vehicle  especially if you are going with friends ! 

Here is one of my favorite past auction beauties an #antique #beveledmirror
