I went to one yesterday in MD, cause I am still here with relatives. They 
had 50 locust post advertised. I was there at 9 am ready to bid. To my 
dismay, the posts were old rotten ones from a fence that they had taken out. 
Anyway, I stayed around to see what some of the antiques sold for. Got 
outbid on all the guns.

The tractor, wood and stuf flike that went at good price. But did not want 
to cary it all the way home to Va. I had the sense to leave before the 
livestock!
