auction action

Judy and I have been on the hunt the past few months for great merchandise to stock our booth.
We buy primarily at auction, waiting it out to get the best prices on a few things we have spied. 

We have been averaging two auctions a week for the past couple months. 

STOCKPILING the goods.

Sometimes, you get lucky and there are piles of wonderful things that no one else seems to want.

Maybe they just can't see the potential.

Or maybe they just don't want to clean, paint, and price it all.

Like these frames that Judy scored late on a sunny Sunday afternoon at one of the last outdoor auctions of the season.


frames as found at the auction

A few of them for sale at Kane in November


All cleaned up and waiting in the garage to go to Kane

She brought a few to Kane in November and she'll have even more in December. 

Check back to see what other things we are amassing...
