[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 192959, member: 88"][I]#1 for us would be country auctions, preferably at a run-down farm that hasn't had an auction for generations, if ever. They get scarcer every year. [/I] You just reminded me of something I have regretted for many years. I was driving back home to Ohio a few years back & was all by myself. As I was driving through the Amish region I saw they were having an auction at a farmhouse. I wanted to stop so bad I almost couldn't stand it, but I was going up there to help my niece with stuff that had been left in the house they had bought. I knew things were going to have to come back home with me & I didn't know if I would have any room left after I packed it all up. I have always wondered what I missed & will likely never have another opportunity to go to another auction at a place like that one. :(:(:( I really believe if that happened to me today, I would call to say I wouldn't be there till the next day & figure it out later. :p:p:p:p:D Peggy[/QUOTE]
