Yeah, but with riven, there is no cutting, except when you fell the tree!
And, who gave you permission to get off that stool! BAM!

Hope you get this one Jacon4 !!

Yeah, Irma has been tough.  My daughter was evacuated with Texas/Harvey 2 weeks ago (but her home is safe).  My son was evacuated for Florida/Irma last week (the 6th n 7th floors had flooding of the condos from the rain coming thru windows/doors with 3 - 5" in hallways. No electricity expected until next week.)  Bottom line - they are safe and that is all that matters!

Yeah, does feel a bit like stealing, the stars all aligned for me on this one, country auction in the boonies, the hurricanes, auction peeps not familiar with that type object, bla bla bla. I was lucky! the early furniture gods smiled upon me yesterday but, there have been plenty of days when they crushed me.

Yeah, is. There might have been another factor, the first lot out of the box yesterday, lot # 1 was a jug, hammer was 44k & with BP total was $55000. It could be that everyone was there for Dave!

I guess but 55K? I learned it's because Dave signed his stuff, sometimes with poetry & was a slave in south carolina who worked as a potter. It could be everyone at that auction was there for DAVE! & simply not interested in some old table.

Nice table, and great jug...but 25% buyers premium? When will the point be reached that buyers decide to stay home rather than being "taxed" for the privilege of spending money? I'm lucky to live in an area where auctions that charge a premium are a rarity.
