<p>[QUOTE="ascot, post: 169297, member: 96"]Yes, and the auction where I bought these pieces operates the same way, except they do the field first and the inside later. Back in the early 2000s when Ebay was going strong and PGP prices were higher, the auctioneers would go to Crumpton to buy and they'd have 3 fields that would go all day (sometimes till almost midnight) and run the inside simultaneously. There are lots of auctions run this way in our area.</p><p>We're fortunate that there are auctions all around us. Within a 100 mile radius, there are at least 10 a day Mon-Thurs, and Fri-Sat there are usually 25-50 per day. The problem is, good stuff is still hard to find. We used to go auctions at least twice a week, but now we go maybe once a month. The quality just isn't there, and the market for run-of-the-mill stuff isn't there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
