Bought a beer flat of glass for 2$ that had a jelly bean jar from Reagan in it put some jelly beans in it and sold for 500$ I wanted the jar for myself but at that price I couldn’t talk myself into keeping it. Easy come easy go I guess.

I bought a Model 600 Remington 6mm for $75.00, the auctioneer thought it was a .22lr. He looked at the end of the barrel and couldn't tell the difference between .22 and 243,(6mm)

I picked up a "percussion 20 ga sxs" and it was an exposed hammer splinter forend 16 ga sxs break barrel (takes modern shells) at an auction a few years ago. I was offered $200 more for it before I paid for it. I declined.

Okay, you guys have absolutely no idea how this works. You don't buy stuff that you make a profit off of. It's about buying stuff, well just because. Example.
Wife says, ahh that's a cute baby goat. I want it. Absolutely not. We are not buying a goat. But I want it. No way. So I bought a baby goat.
Do I have any bid on these two things. No idea what they are. I'll give you $5. Sold. Guy comes up to me. You know what they are? Nope, no idea but look like they are going to be goat feeders. Says, no they are to hang your saddles on to dry. Looked at him and said, nope. Look like goat feeders to me.
Bought a thing called a dual saw. Go ahead and Google that bit of maiming, cutting fingers off, absolute OSHA fine generating, beast. Will cut through absolutely anything you touch with it. No way to control it and you best keep anything you don't want ripped to shreds a good 2 feet away. It was $5. What you going to do.
Bought a husky chainsaw, $40. No one else bidding on it. Should have noticed that the guys that look like they know what they are doing picked it up and put it down. I now know how to take apart a chainsaw. Putting back together...eh it's in a nice organized pile on the bench.
Two huge 4 hole rabbit pens. 8 foot x 4 foot monstrosity. Someone give me $20 for both. Well sure. They sat in the back yard for 6 months before I found someone stupid enough to take them from me for free.
I could go on and on but I digress. Yeah, pretty sure they see me coming a mile away. BTW, wife asked me to buy her a calf the other day for a pet. I told her there is NO WAY we are getting a cow for a pet...anyone know a farmer that may have a calf for sale?

Assuming you're just not beliithe stupid stuff I buy just because. I will go to bid you up! Last time I was there I went with Butler and as I was admiring a cool tomahawk I was putting it back on the rack it slipped out of the rack and hit an amish kid square in the head....we left. |
