I am in California and would love to find the less advertised sales with out the extra time needed to scour dozens of papers.The crowds for the big names are ridiculous here,found one auctioneer recently  that never advertises and much better but numbers still not exactly cheap

sell

Thanks Drew , nice to meet everyone

Hey movieman,good to see someone in California, I am down south between LA and San Diego,been at this for about a year,still a noob but did start before the "show"

The crowds down here have been enormous compared to a year ago and the pricing reflects that.

On a happy note all reports are that the crowds are thinning substantially,however I recently found an off line auctioneer and have been following him for weeks now so have not witnessed the "big" auctioneers crowds in a while so cant say with certainty.

Nice to meet ya,
sell

Not an oldtimer at this but did start about a year before the show came on,learned a ton,made some money, looking to network and share ideas.

I have lurked on here once before and just found a stellar idea here and decided its time to join.

Oh ya,dont flame me but ya I know the guys on "the show" a bit and yes I am in the background here and there ,ya there daily personalities are pretty much just like on the show maybe a little playin for the camera but thats who they are.
Thanks for having me on board
