<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 11643929, member: 182&quot;]Well, that stinks.&nbsp; The jist of it is a woman in Nebraska was cleaning out her home.&nbsp; She and her daughter had a garage sale and were going to put this large crock in the sale for $20.&nbsp; But they couldn&#039;t move it so they left it on the back porch.&nbsp; Then the woman saw an ad for a local auctioneer who was offering a grouping of crocks in his auction so she called him to come get hers and put it in his auction.&nbsp; He told her he thought her crock was rare but couldn&#039;t be sure what it would bring.</p><p><br /></p><p>As soon as he started advertising it, he got bombarded with calls and inquiries from all over the country.&nbsp; So he opened up the auction to telephone bids.&nbsp; He opened the bidding at $1000 and said the bidding was furious for a while.&nbsp; The last bid was a collector from Kansas who bid $32,000.&nbsp; The woman was astonished!&nbsp; And it was her 91st birthday/.&nbsp; The auctioneer stated that the most he got from a Crock was $5800 so this was a record breaker.&nbsp; The author of the article stated that another crock in another auction somewhere went for $144,000.&nbsp; The woman said that the crock had been on her porch for decades (her late husband purchased it but she didn&#039;t remember when or where).&nbsp; It was in great condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted you all to see the photos.&nbsp; I was able to download just one photo from the story.&nbsp; I hope I look that good if I make it to 91.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]546627[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
