Maybe it's just me but over the last two weeks about half the auctions I attend seem to have half the newbies and lookey loos as there were even a month ago. Only one auction I went to this week had any new and totally out of the way bidders. 3 older retired guys must have pooled their money to bid and got a 5x10 for 700 that had busted dining table, no chairs, two black painted end tables and a bunch of mixed boxes. The old timer pros either didnt bid or stopped around 300 like I did. Maybe the shows, crowds, and tax money are running out. BTW, the three elderly gents were all wearing plaid Burmuda shorts, socks, sandals and button up short sleeve collared shirts and dark sunglasses. Only thing missing were golf hats...ROTFLMAO.

Here in Memphis, the crowd is now half of what it was in december and january.
The newbies are more or less gone. Thank god for that.
