Just had my first experience at an auction, and it was mostly satisfying. All the equipment at my workplace no longer needed was auctioned today, and out of the two items I was after, I walked away with a very nice workbench for the shed for the princely sum of $20. There was a slide projector going as well, and I decided not to bid any more than $70 for it. Needless to say, it went to $70 exactly, but not my way. Funny thing is, the guy that bought it only wanted to pay half that amount but got carried away. If I’d gone to $75, he would have let me have it. Oh well, stuff happens. Now I’ve just got to work out how to get the workbench home…
