Your attitude of gratitude is more valuable than any inflated auction bid. My sense is that you alway go home pretty happy / content while others may stew over what they lost - or how much they had to pay to win. Seems like there are friends / fellow travelers, then adversaries / competitors, then some downright unpleasant folks. I think collecting, in particular, attracts a some people with obsessions or compulsions, so they may be dealing with a whole different set of variables (I know first-hand of what I speak!). Glad you grabbed some cool stuff even if it wasn't the "top of the pyramid stuff." In almost 40 years of collecting and a little reselling, I don't think I've ever missed out on something that I didn't find more inexpensively later (of course I obsessively trawl everything online and at local sales). Well, maybe there are half a dozen things I have really shelled out for. I think your discipline about this stuff, especially for resale, will continue to ensure your success. Congratulations on a good day - in what you bought and what you didn't buy. Hope you have an excellent Thursday and good weather for The weekend flea markets!.
There are times, mostly the day after an auction, where I sometimes think to myself that I should have bid a few more times on certain items. I think the majority of regrets comes from viewers telling me what something is/what it's worth when they watch the video, and I had no clue when filming at the auction, flea market, or estate sale. (Those comments help me to learn & hopefully remember what something is if I see it again!) It's funny how some people despise eBay due to everyone being able to look up everything & then when you don't use eBay/internet to look something up, you are hated for that. Double-edged sword! As you said, many times we find the exact or similar item later and are able to buy it for an even better price. I never know what the Tote Man might bring to the flea market, but perhaps it is something that I didn't win at the auction. Same with an estate sale... open that box in the basement & it's exactly what you have been looking for. Beautiful weather expected this weekend, we will see how the market turns out. Kids go back to school next week in this area, so perhaps some mini vacations, back-to-school shopping, and sleeping in before school starts. Hoping for the best! Hope that you have had a good week!
I was lucky enough to come across 2 boxes of similar Halloween decorations at an estate sale years ago. The family was going to throw it out, so they were more than happy to sell it to me!
Hi Renee...just say the word, and I'll rough up all the high bidders before the auction next time!🤛it's good to see my brothers from another mother, Howdy Doody and Charley McCarthy items for sale. if you want, I'll come over and help you put together all the puzzles and make sure all the pieces are there, if you make pitcher of margaritas.🍹🍹😊
Was a lot of nice things there, going for a nice sum of cash. Glad you got some deals. I remember one time at an auction, I was bidding on something, an unknown to me, my dad, across the room, was bidding on it as well. The auctioneer knew us both and just kept smiling while taking our bids. Dad stopped and I got it, well at least it was a charity auction and went to a good cause 🤣. 👍👍
Oh boy, at least one of you got it! Sometimes relatives/couples end up bidding on the same thing but the auctioneers know they are together so they joke about bidding the other up. (That’s for those that attend the auctions for a few years, at a new auctioneer it probably wouldn’t happen in my area.)
I can't believe YOU have any enemies, Renee! I could understand people getting into bidding wars, and even feelings of resentment when you lose an auction item, but YOU always seem happy with your purchases at the end of each video. I always got the impression that you use good common sense with how much you spent on all your items. There's alot to be said for not being selfish, and obsessing with getting everything you want! A wiser man knows when to walk away and go home with some of his hard-earned money still in his pocket! Patience is a virtue! Look at it this way...the money you didn't spend today, is money you can now have for your next trip to Yellowstone! Enjoy!
It would be so much fun to have a puzzle put together party. Invite friends and family and put 'em together, make it a contest and see who can get their puzzle together the fastest.
Hi, I like old maps because I use them for crafts and gift wrap. I get old books from a closed dumpster when I volunteer at the library. Some are in bad shape. I got some odd hardware for 1/2 price at a charity thrift shop today. I don't sell stuff, I give away what I can't use. I drove by a big trash pile in an unincorporated area today and thought of you and Taco. Tina, Al's wife
I love when you and TS go-to auctions together. I get to see it from 2 very different perspectives. Looks like you got some real treasures. Thanks for bringing us along!
And THAT is why I love watching you. Sometimes folks with channels start to act so jaded, salty, and irritated (3 of Snow White's lesser-known friends), but you stay calm, level-headed, and optimistic. You are patient and kind. Thank you and carry on! I'm eager to see more.
They did have some wonderful things at that auction. So many vintage pieces I remember from my childhood. Very expensive items today. I love your positivity. There are people who buy just to out bid someone else. I guess they have so much money they can just throw it away. 😂. Not me. Love your channel and you. Bless you.🕊💕🙏🏻
Enjoy making the puzzles. So good that you are so realistic about buying something at an auction. Good luck with your future auctions. Love to see your video's, greetings from Belgium.

I can’t comment on auctions as I don’t go to many, but I have seen sneaky tactics on the market. The other week a trader on the stall next to our’s had a vintage toy train (Tri-ang Express) for sale, a punter came along and spotted it and agreed to buy it for £25 but didn’t have the cash on him and asked the trader to put it back for him and he would be back soon with the cash. No problem said the trader. Well after two hours the punter hadn’t been back, so the trader was getting a little miffed by this as a fair bit of attention had been shown towards this item beforehand. So I said to the trader, I’m going for a little walk, so I strolled up to the other end of the market and lo and behold, I spotted ‘the punter’ on a market stall and what was on his stall? Only the exact same model of train as my neighbour had but he was asking £45 for his one. So I nipped back to tell my trader neighbour to forget the sale. ‘The punter’ was simply pretending to be interested to buy the train to put the sale of that one on hold to give him time to sell his!
@@PaperandMoose Our neighbour did sell his train the following week for £35, so it worked out better in the end for him. I don’t know if the dodgy guy sold his, I hope not!
I love puzzles as well. Hope all the pieces are there & that some are worth bucks. Patience is a definite plus. You have a great outlook, keep up the good work.
Not enemies but everyone is there to get the best stuff for the best price and that is what it's about.😅🤪 You just got to choose from what you are able to afford of the things you like to get for your collection or to resell.🤔😍 Great auction Rene it was loaded with vintage goodness and I'm glad you got some nice things.🎉👌 Keep it up and take care.👍🔥❤️🤘
I’ve been going to auctions since I was a kid and try not to take it personal people bidding against me, well I try not to. Years ago I sold something on eBay and the buyer asked me if I ever go to this weekly auction which was down the road from me. I answered honestly yes Next week he shows up, very friendly guy but he bid on everything I wanted. Was impossible to work any deals out with him either. Then He started coming every week and it really was costing me money , I even had friends bid on the stuff so he wouldn’t know it was me but didn’t make any difference, was no stopping him This goes on for a few weeks and then he comes up to me and tells me he won’t be there next week because he is going in the hospital for kidney surgery but he will be there the week after. Never saw him again Had some guys ask me what ever happened to that fellow that bid against me and bought all those tools? Told them guess prayer works
There's a woman here who goes with her 'boyfriend"/partner to a lot of tag sales. I've never met anyone who had a kind word to say about either of them. (The only time I"ve seen her smile at me was when she beat me to something she knew I buy, and it wasn't a nice smile. Not at all.) I know where she lives, hit her tag sale by mistake once, and do my best to go to places she doesn't. No auctions in person here for her to mess with. On the other paw, the local pawn shop owner's security dog likes me. So...

Well, I can’t imagine auction life but I could see it working in many ways when people want to do anything to get what they want. It was a fascinating estate sale. I do believe I saw my dad‘s little truck and camper in the auction too. You did well. ~ Texas
Yeah, I noticed the old (metal) Tonka trucks. I had a collection of them, in perfect condition, from my childhood. They were up in the attic, still in their original boxes(!), and my Mom sold them in a garage sale while I was away at school. The only one she didn't sell was the 'ALLIED' moving van. It had her $2 (!!!) price sticker still on the (original) box. Out of curiosity, I took it to a store that sells old toys, in Scotch Plains, NJ, to research it's value. Easily over $100! I ended up selling it on eBay for over $150! It's a good thing my Mom wasn't able to sell it for her $2 asking price! But she did manage to sell about 8 or 10 others for $2 each. Ugggh! Thanks, Mom!
Hello Renee. Now that was some beautiful Halloween decorations. I would have loved to have them. But not for those prices. But you got some wonderful old books and the puzzles are great. You did great. I know there’s people out there that just want to jack up the prices on things , I’ve even been told that they have been none to put people out in the crowd to make prices higher. But if they get caught they loose there License to be an auctioneer so . But you know that the right thing’s come to you in time. Take care. 🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🫎🫎🫎🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫎🫎🫎💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
You are right concerning the “shill” bidding. I’ve been to auctions where auctioneers “pretend” to have a bid - they look to a different section of the bidders - so that the bid is raised. I do not attend those auctions anymore. This happens often in online auctions as well, with shill bidding where someone is artificially bidding to get an actual bidder to continue to raise their bid. Word gets around about this, so I don’t bid on those online auctions either.
335.00 OMG. People are going nuts. The bidder must have a high end store in a ritzy area! Prices are going through the roof in my area too. Too few MCM people left with sought after goodies.
Some of the nicest auction items you have featured. Vintage Halloween high sky rocketed. As has most all vintage holiday decorations. All u said is true. Some bid item up. Some have deep pockets. You were happy w your items and budget. That's cool❤
Despite the great competition, you were able to buy some really good items at the auction. Congratulations! In my youth (let's say before 1970) I collected Matchbox cars, especially construction vehicles. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the boxes. Probably the boxes at the auction were even older. I still have three dozen of the construction vehicles - but don't play with them anymore 😂. I was pleased that you used the word 'supper'. It sounds British to me, but I'm sure it's also common in the USA. Enjoy your finds! Best wishes Gabriele - Berlin
What a great auction! So many great things. I loved the toys, puzzles and the Halloween. Holy Cow did those pumpkins and decoratioins go high or what!? I guess those pumpkins and decorations would hit $500! LOL OH and those lunch boxes WITH their thermos! Wow...Thanks for taking us along.
That filing cabinet score is amazing. I've done really well with old travel brochures. I bet that filing cabinet also has other old brochures that would sell online if you have patience. That stuff is long tail.
I have found that I good strategy is that with the things you buy sell the other things at the auction on the side or parking lot and walk away with little to no overhead. I once sold a civil war document from a box that paid for the box. I put myself through college 2x by selling at flea markets .
I've been going to auctions for years, I go every week. You are 100% right about people. You know who buys what, who will bid against you. I know a few will buy something just so you won't get it. It's dog eat dog out there.
I’ve seen people blatantly tell other people that if they think they are bidding on something, they better “think again”. Sometimes it gets a bit crazy at these auctions!
That's terrible, that people can get so obsessed. I enjoy that you have a more relaxed and common-sense (and gracious!) attitude about what you buy, and how much to spend, Renee! Please, don't change!
Sometimes it's just strategy. You bid someone up at an auction like this, hoping you'll make them reach their overall limit. The goal is to reach the bottom of their pocket with lots of stuff left. Sometimes it works.
I just worry about bidding someone up & then get to a point where I’m not able to “call their bluff” & I’m left with winning something I paid 2x the actual value of.
@@PaperandMoose Bjørn Ramel for SEA Glasbruk/Kosta Sweden. Set of Salt and Pepper Grinders made of Glass and Pine Wood! NEW IN BOX! from the 1990's of the 1970's design. I couldn't believe it.
@@PaperandMoose I always think that if someone gets to something before me, I just think, well, they needed it more than I did. Rice doesn't always work for certain smells. Sometimes basic catbox litter is better. (putting my biochem and chemistry hat on for a second) Sometimes baking soda works well, too. But rice isn't very reactive.
I like when you show what’s up for auction… I seen the pink Tonka jeep… that has value because tonka came up with making different items out of their product line to appeal to little girls so they can sale more product back then… And you were scanning the shelves and the tray with looked like matchbox’s cars… I would have love to have the pop up top VW bus that was on their… that was really cool I would have kept that for my self…
Unused coffee grounds also will take some damp smell out of paper goods. You can buy container's with desiccant crystals at Dollar Tree works much better than rice.
I watched a video today from Taco Stacks, believe that was the name of the channel. The gentleman is a storage locker picker and you was in, the lady looked just like you.
Most of the auctions in my area are online. I miss the in person estate auctions. I have this problem at estate sales. The dealers don’t care for me because I grab things they want, it’s funny because I’m a customer at their shops. They must have a love hate relationship with me. I love finding things for my home and friends.
Were it me in a situation such as this... I'd choose the ONE thing i wanted above all else, that I knew i didnt want to leave without, and id just bid until i won it (of course, if it's for your personal collection). If it's for resale you have to think of what the market will bear... yes.
I wouldn´t call other bidders "enemies", for me most of them are just "competitors". And: there are possibilities to get into gentlemen´s agreements before starting wild bidding wars. "Okay, you can get this lot, if you leave the other one to me". That´s the way it works, Renée. Not always, but sometimes, especially if you know about the special interests of other competitors. Besides that, great show, thanks for taking us along ! I like the very relaxed auctioneer´s style, highly appreciated. And you got some pretty neat items, not in pristine condition, but what can you expect on books used by little children ?! I would love to know the titles and years of these old German books. Keep it up, have a fantastic Thursday afternoon, and see you on the next one ! Greets from GER, U.
Oh people definitely have enemies at these auctions! I don’t have any, that I know of, but I just observe & know who bids on what & what to expect for prices. At an auction like this with quality items, I’m not expecting $1 prices, but one does have to draw the line between what you are spending versus the profit you will make, if buying to resell. I’ll take a look at the German books, I’m busy sorting the brochures now. Good news - there’s a whole folder dedicated to Wyoming with some Yellowstone in there 🙂
@@PaperandMoose So, congrats on these Wyoming/ Yellowstone items, hope there´s some interesting find for your personal collection ! I just finished a blog on Emanuel Bronner, the inventor of "Dr. Bronner´s Magic Soap" (or Dr. Bronner´s Castile Soap), some folks call it "The Hippie Soap". The company still exists, perhaps you know this special soap as well.
@@cjpenning I don´t think so. Emanuel Bronner was born in 1908, emigrated from Germany in the late 1920´s, had a Jewish background (his real name was Heilbronner) and invented the famous "Dr. Bronner´s Magic Soap". He was an excentric character and passed away in 1997. His company is still in business in the U.S.
The ‘Alpha Bidders’ were out in force there in the drizzle. ( You're an AB as well btw😊) Crazy prices. Mr “ 40 bucks, 50 bucks” - could have done without him. You still did well though Renee. Great vintage paper and puzzles! Plus the filing cabinet…….
It happens that way sometimes, but it also happens the opposite way I’ve been to estate sales and auctions where there’s no competition at all recently I went to an estate sale and I buy a lot of vintage clothing granted somebody had picked through it, but there were still a lot of really great pieces up in the atticand there was hardly anybody there just depends on the timing and absolutely the advertising of the sales
Good for you Girly! I know a disposable kitty litter tray from the dollar store will extract smoke smells from a car...so maybe it will help out the rice too?
Someone way overpaid on those Halloween diecuts, but I'm not surprised. The condition on those didn't warrant the ending bid, but I've been seeing people overpaying for vintage Halloween for the last few years. It happens at estate sales too. Sellers know someone will pay.
You have such a good attitude about auctions. I think you got some good stuff.
Your attitude of gratitude is more valuable than any inflated auction bid. My sense is that you alway go home pretty happy / content while others may stew over what they lost - or how much they had to pay to win.

Yeah, I noticed the old (metal) Tonka trucks. I had a collection of them, in perfect condition, from my childhood. They were up in the attic, still in their original boxes(!), and my Mom sold them in a garage sale while I was away at school. The only one she didn't sell was the 'ALLIED' moving van. It had her $2 (!!!) price sticker still on the (original) box. Out of curiosity, I took it to a store that sells old toys, in Scotch Plains, NJ, to research it's value. Easily over $100! I ended up selling it on eBay for over $150! It's a good thing my Mom wasn't able to sell it for her $2 asking price! But she did manage to sell about 8 or 10 others for $2 each. Ugggh!
Thanks, Mom!
Hello Renee. Now that was some beautiful Halloween decorations. I would have loved to have them. But not for those prices. But you got some wonderful old books and the puzzles are great. You did great. I know there’s people out there that just want to jack up the prices on things , I’ve even been told that they have been none to put people out in the crowd to make prices higher. But if they get caught they loose there License to be an auctioneer so . But you know that the right thing’s come to you in time. Take care. 🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🫎🫎🫎🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫎🫎🫎💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
You are right concerning the “shill” bidding. I’ve been to auctions where auctioneers “pretend” to have a bid - they look to a different section of the bidders - so that the bid is raised. I do not attend those auctions anymore. This happens often in online auctions as well, with shill bidding where someone is artificially bidding to get an actual bidder to continue to raise their bid. Word gets around about this, so I don’t bid on those online auctions either.
335.00 OMG. People are going nuts. The bidder must have a high end store in a ritzy area! Prices are going through the roof in my area too. Too few MCM people left with sought after goodies.
Great finds 😊 TFS
I went to an auction with my cousin and was dumb founded at the prices people paid, crazy.
It's nice to get some of the things you bid on Kind of makes you satisfied 💚❤️💜💙💖🇨🇦🦩 Stay Happy 💫✨🌟✨
Some of the nicest auction items you have featured. Vintage Halloween high sky rocketed. As has most all vintage holiday decorations. All u said is true. Some bid item up. Some have deep pockets. You were happy w your items and budget. That's cool❤
All that Halloween stuff makes me so happy.
The Halloween pumpkins that is crazy . Deep pockets is right . Glad you got some travel broashers. And Taco stacks can have the metal file cabinet.
@@lindamon5101 spelling is not my strong suit since I'm slowly loosing my memory.
You have such a positive and optimistic attitude. It makes your videos so fun to watch. 🥰
Despite the great competition, you were able to buy some really good items at the auction. Congratulations!
In my youth (let's say before 1970) I collected Matchbox cars, especially construction vehicles. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the boxes. Probably the boxes at the auction were even older. I still have three dozen of the construction vehicles - but don't play with them anymore 😂.
I was pleased that you used the word 'supper'. It sounds British to me, but I'm sure it's also common in the USA. Enjoy your finds!
Best wishes

Crazy what somethings sell for but you did well.
There’s nothing more cute than a happy female scavenger!
😊😊😊your attitude is very wise Renee about other people buying and competing
I hope you are doing well,interesting video…
Thank you!! I am doing well & I hope that you are doing even better!
Interesting. Nice goodies❣️
😍👍
Fun times get expensive at this flea👍❣
Enjoy the auctions with you!
What a great auction! So many great things. I loved the toys, puzzles and the Halloween. Holy Cow did those pumpkins and decoratioins go high or what!? I guess those pumpkins and decorations would hit $500! LOL OH and those lunch boxes WITH their thermos! Wow...Thanks for taking us along.
In all fun! There was 2 rolling pins there! Crazy prices!
That filing cabinet score is amazing. I've done really well with old travel brochures. I bet that filing cabinet also has other old brochures that would sell online if you have patience. That stuff is long tail.
Great items at the auction. Thanks for the rice tip! Im friendly to nemesises and some have sold me their collections as they get out of the business.
Oh my word! Is that Halloween stuff printed on gold? That’s nuts!
Thanks!
You are too kind, Andrew!!
@@PaperandMooseYou’re gaining two pounds per video yet not getting any bigger!
I have found that I good strategy is that with the things you buy sell the other things at the auction on the side or parking lot and walk away with little to no overhead. I once sold a civil war document from a box that paid for the box. I put myself through college 2x by selling at flea markets .
I've been going to auctions for years, I go every week. You are 100% right about people. You know who buys what, who will bid against you. I know a few will buy something just so you won't get it. It's dog eat dog out there.
I’ve seen people blatantly tell other people that if they think they are bidding on something, they better “think again”. Sometimes it gets a bit crazy at these auctions!
That's terrible, that people can get so obsessed.
I enjoy that you have a more relaxed and common-sense (and gracious!) attitude about what you buy, and how much to spend, Renee!
Please, don't change!
Very good toy collection
Competition make aggressive bedfellows.😝
Sometimes it's just strategy. You bid someone up at an auction like this, hoping you'll make them reach their overall limit. The goal is to reach the bottom of their pocket with lots of stuff left. Sometimes it works.
I just worry about bidding someone up & then get to a point where I’m not able to “call their bluff” & I’m left with winning something I paid 2x the actual value of.
Thanks for the paper in rice for a week or so tip.
9:08 you break it you bought it 😀
Such a dramatic start, Renae! My goodness. BTW... My Thrifting Thursday worked out pretty good I think. I'll up date later.
Glad to hear the thrift went well!
@@PaperandMoose Bjørn Ramel for SEA Glasbruk/Kosta Sweden. Set of Salt and Pepper Grinders made of Glass and Pine Wood! NEW IN BOX! from the 1990's of the 1970's design. I couldn't believe it.
@@PaperandMoose I always think that if someone gets to something before me, I just think, well, they needed it more than I did. Rice doesn't always work for certain smells. Sometimes basic catbox litter is better. (putting my biochem and chemistry hat on for a second) Sometimes baking soda works well, too. But rice isn't very reactive.
People with way too much money are a problem…
7:13 these are ignition coil boxes aka buzz box from like a 1910s/20s vehicle like a Model T.
I like when you show what’s up for auction… I seen the pink Tonka jeep… that has value because tonka came up with making different items out of their product line to appeal to little girls so they can sale more product back then… And you were scanning the shelves and the tray with looked like matchbox’s cars… I would have love to have the pop up top VW bus that was on their… that was really cool I would have kept that for my self…
I think the Jeep sold between $60-$80. If they had that when I was little, I would have loved it for my Barbies!
Fun auction day 😊
Unused coffee grounds also will take some damp smell out of paper goods. You can buy container's with desiccant crystals at Dollar Tree works much better than rice.
Bidding wars 💰💰💰👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏🤠🇬🇧
I watched a video today from Taco Stacks, believe that was the name of the channel. The gentleman is a storage locker picker and you was in, the lady looked just like you.
Most of the auctions in my area are online. I miss the in person estate auctions. I have this problem at estate sales. The dealers don’t care for me because I grab things they want, it’s funny because I’m a customer at their shops. They must have a love hate relationship with me. I love finding things for my home and friends.
I think some of those people bidding on that vintage halloween lot were plants.
Were it me in a situation such as this... I'd choose the ONE thing i wanted above all else, that I knew i didnt want to leave without, and id just bid until i won it (of course, if it's for your personal collection). If it's for resale you have to think of what the market will bear... yes.
Not so much enemies (unless, they act with malice ), as competitors! ✌🏼❤️
I like the trucks 🛻 like Tonka trucks are my favorite ❤️
I wouldn´t call other bidders "enemies", for me most of them are just "competitors". And: there are possibilities to get into gentlemen´s agreements before starting wild bidding wars. "Okay, you can get this lot, if you leave the other one to me". That´s the way it works, Renée. Not always, but sometimes, especially if you know about the special interests of other competitors. Besides that, great show, thanks for taking us along ! I like the very relaxed auctioneer´s style, highly appreciated. And you got some pretty neat items, not in pristine condition, but what can you expect on books used by little children ?! I would love to know the titles and years of these old German books. Keep it up, have a fantastic Thursday afternoon, and see you on the next one ! Greets from GER, U.
Oh people definitely have enemies at these auctions! I don’t have any, that I know of, but I just observe & know who bids on what & what to expect for prices. At an auction like this with quality items, I’m not expecting $1 prices, but one does have to draw the line between what you are spending versus the profit you will make, if buying to resell. I’ll take a look at the German books, I’m busy sorting the brochures now. Good news - there’s a whole folder dedicated to Wyoming with some Yellowstone in there 🙂
@@PaperandMoose So, congrats on these Wyoming/ Yellowstone items, hope there´s some interesting find for your personal collection ! I just finished a blog on Emanuel Bronner, the inventor of "Dr. Bronner´s Magic Soap" (or Dr. Bronner´s Castile Soap), some folks call it "The Hippie Soap". The company still exists, perhaps you know this special soap as well.
@@fareast_de Bronners from Frankenmuth, Michigan? I've been there!
@@cjpenning I don´t think so. Emanuel Bronner was born in 1908, emigrated from Germany in the late 1920´s, had a Jewish background (his real name was Heilbronner) and invented the famous "Dr. Bronner´s Magic Soap". He was an excentric character and passed away in 1997. His company is still in business in the U.S.
@@fareast_deI didn’t think hippies used soap 😅

The ‘Alpha Bidders’ were out in force there in the drizzle. ( You're an AB as well btw😊) Crazy prices. Mr “ 40 bucks, 50 bucks” - could have done without him. You still did well though Renee. Great vintage paper and puzzles! Plus the filing cabinet…….
It happens that way sometimes, but it also happens the opposite way I’ve been to estate sales and auctions where there’s no competition at all recently I went to an estate sale and I buy a lot of vintage clothing granted somebody had picked through it, but there were still a lot of really great pieces up in the atticand there was hardly anybody there just depends on the timing and absolutely the advertising of the sales
When it comes to good stuff I jump the bid start it fast And sometimes when the auctioneer goes fast people overlook
Well,good for you..Go get em!!😊❤
Must be first time buyers. These prices are ridiculous
Good for you Girly! I know a disposable kitty litter tray from the dollar store will extract smoke smells from a car...so maybe it will help out the rice too?
Wow high bids
❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed
Renee, what did the rack of vintage clothing go for?
They sold each piece by choice with the highest selling for $27.50 for one item.
@@PaperandMoose thank you for the reply.
Someone way overpaid on those Halloween diecuts, but I'm not surprised. The condition on those didn't warrant the ending bid, but I've been seeing people overpaying for vintage Halloween for the last few years. It happens at estate sales too. Sellers know someone will pay.
