Default Re: The auctionj photo that gives the lie!!

Farm displenishment auctions can be rather interesting. Livestock, machinery, tractors, grain silos, small tools, gates, fencing, anything which can be moved!

And then you see some somewhat lubricated farmers bidding away for a rather rusty electric fence unit with one croc clip missing in action. They bid up significantly beyond the new price at the agricultural merchants five miles down the road. The auctioneers know what they're doing when they get a bacon butty van and a bar along. It's been like this since before anyone could spell interweb or ebay.
