Almost missed seeing you.  I was captured by the volume of boxes of tools!

I was wondering who the absentee bidder was that was buying so much...now I know.

This is always a great auction.  Martin estimated that there were between 80 and 100 TONS of tools. There were 3201 lots sold over the three days.  Many of these were very large box lots.

If you've never been, I would urge you to go next year. It's a fun week-end.

Yep, I was the one winning, winning some more, and then...... you get the picture! I would have loved to go to the auction, but I'm a social phobic and can't be around people very much, which is why I'm stuck bidding as an absentee bidder. It's always an impressive auction!
