Two yrs ago, 10 acres, house, 2 out buildings came up for auction. I didnt go, but knew the place was purchased.
Late last yr or this spring, the husband died, yes, older couple, but still, sad.
The son came up from Florida to help his mom auction it ALL.
First off, the house n property did not auction off, it'll go on the market.
No biggy, its paid for, they bought it at auction, a couple months to pay it off. Unless they got a loan that quick, which Im sure they didnt need, she should be clear.
The husband was some big shot, so Im assuming it was paid for.

On the good side, some things went for a great price. For me that is..lol

I bought two pine end tables for 10bucks each

And also a sprayer, not new, but expensive new. I think 40 bucks for this one new. I paid 8 bucks for it.

Im sad for the family, but happy for me.

I walked to my truck thinking, do these people think of us as a pack of rats?
I couldnt of been there if it were my place, and she was.
The son said it was hard on her, and I bet it was.

Ya, Bob wanted a GE fridge for his semi, I guess his is acting up. I tried, but they went over our bid price on it. A couple other things did too, but no biggy, Im happy with my winning bids.

Nice finds for you, but my heart does go out to the family. These are tough times, but at least she had her son the lean on.
