<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 1132187, member: 37&quot;]Sale went great today.&nbsp; About 60 people in line this morning when we opened.&nbsp; The first 25 got let in to shop first.&nbsp; The rest were all in within an hour or so.&nbsp; Traffic was pretty steady all day with a few buyers still in at closing.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All the MCM abstract art literally flew off the walls.&nbsp; Two buyers who had waited all night competed for all of it.&nbsp; The only left were the 3 collages and the one with the kids and bicycles.&nbsp; Much of the pottery also went within the first hour.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Toy buying was strong but most of the high end toys still remain.&nbsp; Most of the lunch boxes sold. Furniture was soft with a few cheaper pieces selling to dealers.&nbsp; All the best lamps sold.&nbsp; As expected, the Illini memorabilia sold well.&nbsp; The more traditional antiques did just fair.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All told, maybe 1/3 of the merchandise sold the first day.&nbsp;&nbsp; We expect tomorrow to be steady without the frenzy.&nbsp; Half price day Sunday expects to be strong since I know a lot of buyers still have their eyes on many of the toys.&nbsp; I expect the dealers to be in to scoop up most of the furniture at half price as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
