One of the best things for me about doing collectables is the chance to go to auctions. The variety of items, the chance to find that hidden gem and the ability to get something for less than you think it's worth is one of the main drawing cards. In the last several months I've referenced some of the auctions that I go to on a regular basis and have had some great feedback. One of the common questions I get is "Can I go to one with you". The easy answer to that is "OF COURSE".
For those of you who live locally I would love to have you join me. For those of you who follow online, I am going to make it easy as I am going to have a quick "how to" for beginners for next Thursday, January 31st. If you would like to join me just leave a note here on the contact page.
What I intend to do is to give everyone an imaginary $100. I may use a real $100. On Wednesday we are going to preview the catalogue. On Thursday we will physically go to Madison's Auction in Abbostford and preview the physical items. I will then give you all the chance to do some research on the items you saw, come up with a maximum bid, and we'll follow the auction to see if we can score a great deal. Depending on everyone's schedule, Madison's has the ability to use Live Bidding online, so we may follow along that way. I will use video to discuss some of the cool things we find and how we do our research.
We will also run down some of the basic first time auction do's and dont's and some of the essential tools we will need.
So, I would love to see you there, or follow along. Either way, drop me a line and let me know if you want to come out and play. An education, some fun and maybe a few bucks, Yay!
