My first Auction

[regularjoe2]

Good postings here .
I've enjoyed them all .


One way I've found to experience enjoyment from my various "educational purchases" through the years , is to save them up & then take them out to the woods for some target practice ( I DO clean-up debris , after I'm done ) .

Somehow , to me , trying to pass on my mistakes to others seems wrong ... even when I fully disclose all details and a customer knows what's what .

I have one friend who keeps his around , on what he calls his personal "Wall of Shame" .

Besides , what's wrong with ridding the marketplace of some junk ?

In just under 1 year of this I have collected a pretty good wall of shame per say.  I don't try and pass on the stuff, beside It seems that when you are honest about the condition they won't buy it anyway.  I have gotten better at not buying junk, but like these jugs Sometimes you still get them, I will remember to inspect things at auctions even If I don't intend to buy, or at least if no one is bidding let that be a sign that others know what is going on.
