I generally agree with your posts JD but not this one. Of course if you want to operate this way it is fine with me. But I don't expect everyone to be so altruistic. The guy bought the contents of the building. Another guy bought the loader. The guy who bought the contents was paying attention. The guy who bought the loader was not. You snooze, you lose. Simple as that. On the other hand, When I'm at an auction if I see something that I know belongs with something else I will try my best to bring it to the auctioneers attention BEFORE the bidding starts. For example: At one auction there was a set of ford inner wheel weights on a pallet. On the next pallet was a bunch of misc junk that included the special wedges for the weights without which the weights are unuseable. So I grabbed the wedges - they were all wired together - and held them up as the auctioneer started selling the pallet of junk and hollered "Hey, These belong with the weights." Auctioneer gave me a nod and I threw them with the weights. Everyone around the pallets saw it all happen. Now maybe some guy who was going to bid on the pallet of junk knew what they were and hoped to make a buck. Or maybe the next guy who was gonna bid on the weights didn't know he needed the wedges. Ultimately both pallets sold to whoever was the highest bidder. But neither of those bidders had one iota of obligation to the other before or after the gavel went down. None, zero, nada. By the way, someone mentioned that a machine was sold and afterwards they sold the manual for it. I think that is entirely appropriate. The guy buying the machine should have paid attention or else maybe he didn't care about the manual. Another guy might have come to the auction hoping to get just that manual. He would have hated to have to buy the machine just to get the manual.

Today's Featured Article - A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
