I have been to alot of this kind of auctions. First of all, everyone who lives withing 30 miles of this location will attend, they won't bid on anything, they only want to see what he had. Also, they come early and if there are seats they will fill them early. Guys who are interested in this stuff will be left standing all around, and all the bidding will be between them. There is so much stuff that a lot of it will be sold in lots and those of you who live in the area will be able to add a lot of nice items to your collections. This auction reminds me of the of the Sims auction in New York a year or so ago. Too many items, not enough buyers, equals great buys.

I've been to a lot of these auctions also Jack, when you have a standup guy like Ron, most people in a 30 mile radius will attend and buy things because of who he was. And yes the collectors will be there standing in the back and bidding (LIKE THEY DO AT ALL AUCTIONS REGARDLESS IF THERE ARE SEATS OR NOT), Yes because of the quantity of items there will be some deals, But the good thing is Linda has refused all that have stopped by and offered to buy stuff, she says "come to the auction" It will be a fair auction for all.
