<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 169290, member: 37"]It has been at least 25 years since I have been to Crumpton. I don't know if it is anything like it used to be but every auction there was an entire field of furniture, row after row. They would line it up and travel up and down in a golf cart to auction it. If the stuff was junky, the weather was bad, or a disinterested crowd, they would say everything between me and joe for one money. This might include 15-20 pieces of furniture sometimes. Meanwhile a whole other auction of smalls is going on in the building.</p><p><br /></p><p>People used to arrive with semi's and drop off stuff. We always loaded to the brim when we went. Good things could bring good money. There was early American Sheraton style buffet in horrible condition that brought over 10K one time. It is not a place for the timid or uninformed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
