Eric Krewson:
Even during normal times estate auctions have been a disappointment for me, people go crazy bidding, I guess it's the gotta' win syndrome. I sat all day waiting on some 4' tractor  implements, (tiller, bush hog) to be auctioned off, they were the last on the list, stupid people bid them up over new price.

I sat at another just out of curiosity because they had some beat up old 22 rifles up for auction, they went for over what a modern made new one in the same style sold for, the ones being auctioned were at least 50 years old.

I've had my best luck at farm sales,but it can get out of hand there too sometimes depending on the item.I'll keep going to them though.If there's an outside chance for a buy I'll be there.
Some people are funny.My neighbor has a round 1/4" rod paneled ear corn corn crib standing with trees a foot thick growing in it.These storage cribs have been outdated for decades.I have taken many of these down for free in the past for use as fencing and reused it.I offered him $50.00.He won't take the bait.He has no plans for it.It is an eye sore.So it is with people.

Gimlis Ghost:
Some types of lumber has gone up nearly 400% last I heard.
