Auction Hunters new season starting !

7 pm here in California, May 31, 2011....

....and the finale of Auction Hunters (in Texas) is starting....I'll give a play by play but won't reveal all...you can watch a re-run later on Spike! if you have cable or satellite.

----

225 miles north of Dallas....Sorry, TC!

A major world-wide shipping hub....auctioning off 800 containers ! Oh my !

Looking at 20 vaults at a time. 10 minutes to look at 20 units !

#19 they like.....they get it for $575.

-----

On to round #2...another 20 lkrs...how long will it take to do 800 containers?
Yikes....a Browning Citori gun box taped up !
They don't get it !


They get it at......$1,200....gotta have guns !
Now it's 2:30 pm.... the other lkrs aren't looking that good.
Now it's the end of the day.....they spent about $3K for 11 vaults.

-------

China and glass...they like it ! (rare they DON'T like their wins)
Back later with more...commercial now and I need a break from typing.
Lead crystal, vintage toy cars.

On to their best lkr....gun boxes WITH GUNS !  You've GOT to watch this episode!
Handguns, never fired !
Ton loves his job...I would too if I got THAT vault!
They get the pendulum to a grandfather clock another bidder got....care to trade ?

A great finale that made me drool for those guns....alas, I wasn't in TX...TC you should have been there!

 I stayed up last night. Show aired at 10 PM, Tucson.  I caught the last 20 minutes (15 without commercials). I saw the cars and the guns, guns, and more guns.  I need to watch the rerun to see the auction part. 

Want to hear something funny... I actually know the guy they were calling W. The first time I ever met him was at an auction in Houston. I even said the same thing to him "you know who you look like right?" He's a pretty nice guy, not that talkative and I've never seen him buy anything. He always dressed kind of shabby so I always assumed he wasn't working with much money. I guess looks can be deceiving.
