A quiz and other questions about auctions and possibly some conclusions.

1. Can I afford the time to go? 
   
   1. No – I best stay home and do something more constructive 
   2. Probably but I may stay far too long
2. Can I afford to buy anything if I go? 
   
   1. Maybe, if I find a bargain however if pressed in bidding I may not even think if this thing is a bargain or even worth what I’m bidding 
   2. I may be able to use that thing sometimes in the next 50 years. I hope I have long term storage available. 
   3. I have a hunch this thing is valuable. Sometimes I have to question how good my hunches turn out. If usually good I’ll keep bidding. But oh boy have I sometimes got stuck. Oh well, 50 percent of the time isn’t bad.

The auction is over. The questions now are:

1. Did I buy so much I’d need a tractor trailer to get it to its final destination? 
   
   1. Oh oh, again. I only have a one horse buggy.
2. Should the final destination be a junk yard or landfill? 
   
   1. I’ll keep that stuff till death does us part. After all, I stood here all day to buy it and paid good money too.
3. How do I feel about my purchases both five minutes after the purchase is struck off to me and the next day after I have my treasures home? 
   
   1. If the answer is questionable, maybe I can use my best persuasive methods and get all or some of my money back from some friend or acquaintance – I HOPE 
   2. I’m happy as a lark with my purchase. Someone who may or may not know more about this thing tells me I got a great bargain. I’m even more happy.

Finally to sum up my day at the auction and my purchased treasures. If I like what I purchased and will be pleased with my purchases even if no one else is. I WON, and had a great auction success. I’ll wait for the next one to come along.
