    I don't think I can go - I'd be too overwhelmed, unless I had an idea of where to go plant myself.

    It's only 1/2 an hour from me. Maybe I'll go Sunday..

    It's not too far from me and I would love to go! Fortunately, I am busy this weekend. You will need a large bag of cash if you go!

    I closed my huge brick and mortar store for real last month.

    If I go I have to be shopping for myself or ebay.

    Why on earth would this be a two day sale? It's an on-line auction if I ever saw one! Such quality to be swarmed over locally is a shame.

    I can’t imagine trying to price all this stuff for a two day sale. Weekend only so not looking for dealers especially. Obviously no price tags added. Have you been to their sales? How do they price, and is it aggressive?

    A lot of that should have been sent to a reputable auction house... Dealing with mobs of people and all those valuable smalls is going to be a nightmare for the staff.

    I went to one of their sales about 5 years ago - stumbled upon it. The person at check out priced the stuff, and it was CHEAP.
    But that was a real small house with not wonderful stuff.
    I don't know what to think.

    They're still adding pictures - there were around 1,350 when I first saw it, now there are 1,401.

    Yes, I'll take the Pueblo pottery. And the small Navajo weaving in the wall.

    Ha ha komo. Even though I've learned a few things about baskets here, I don't know enough to even be tempted to start looking at those.
    Or the pottery.

    I might go out to the barn and dig in the boxes of books and paper. Now that would be heaven.

    Although I do want the toy motor boat with engine, and the tin lithographed ferris wheel.
