If there is anything we want to buy, so does everyone else. Having said that, we HAVE had some real bargains over the years. I have little pockets of knowledge (some deeper than others) about china. Furniture we know more about, especially Windsor chairs as my husband collects them. Other subjects we are learning on a need-to-know basis. Our entire house (and it's big) has been furnished entirely from auction, and we generally try and trade up more basic pieces for better ones when we can afford it.<br /><br />SSS - there's more standing room than sitting at both the auctions in this area. It makes me laugh when they show some Bargain Hunt auctions empty - reckon they have set it up on a non-auction day and just dragged people in off the street as stooges.<br /><br />Pat - it really speaks to me, such character in it. I love old things - with a history. Interesting to read of your auction viewing (and great presence of mind NOT to ever go and bid). Must be a posh one if they have a cafe, as the food on offer round here are sausage rolls, chocolate bars, Welsh Cakes and tea and coffee.<br /><br />thelma - as I was saying to Vicky, the knowledge is limited in certain areas, but it is ever a learning process. We know nothing about anything Oriental, for instance . . .<br /><br />Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-11903695913225820222014-01-19T07:14:47.732-08:002014-01-19T07:14:47.732-08:00We've not bought at the auction for a while .....We've not bought at the auction for a while .. we found prices were too high to make anything on .. and the hours it takes .. usually standing ... boy the cold gets into your joints .. the hours are work hours .. and money could be earned doing something else.<br />You did well with your buys ..
