a couple of scraps from the local auction
« on: October 25, 2015, 05:00:35 PM »
  I spent the day at a local farm/estate auction. Tons of nice CI (a massive Wagner #9 oval roaster = $325), lots of Gris skillets, DO's, some older Wagner skillets, a half dozen kettles, even a bit of Favorite, Wapak, Vollrath, Lodge & BSR.
  It was fun, but the "serious" (a bit crazy?) folks kept bidding 'em mostly near or well over "book value", it all went for more than I was willing to pay.
  We got down to a pile of "choice of" CI (it kept getting bid up to $20-30 for what were $10 items to me), I teamed up with a woman who was wanting two pieces. I said "I won't bid against you, and you pick my items along with yours when you win", she got hers at $12.50 each I slipped her the $$ and so did I ;)  

  Glad they left me some scraps, a couple of gatemarked 9's (and a spare Wagner lid)

  They only had one, a #12 P&? Nashville, TN spider skillet with a small rust hole in the lid near one letter... it climbed quickly and went for around $45. (I could just see if I'd stayed in the "fight" would've gone up and up) almost everything had multiple interested bidders and bidding wars... I was amazed that so many folks were willing to pay substantially over book value for the decent user grade CI... It was frustrating to watch the household clutter sell for 3 hours while waiting on the CI, only to have it pushed above a reasonable price... >:(
 
  It was fun for a change, but I think I'll stick to my usual estate sales and garage sales. Usually not too many know the CI is there, I make sure to be one of the first in the door and if the price is OK it goes home with me... 1st in gets it with nobody fighting me for it and jacking prices up to near ebay rates.
