WOW… I am from Nebraska and we have tons of sales that are more like this, but in seattle it’s more standard yard sales. Nice post.

Great article, Leah! I don’t go to auctions, my parents do that for me, I keep telling myself I need to go to some and scoop up the uber cheap deals!

I want those jars of buttons! Even though I have jars full–I want more–
You described the auction scene well! I love the outside farm auctions so much more than an auction house but I don’t find many outside ones anymore.
Thanks for the story!

Leah! This makes me miss Nebraska so much. The men in the overalls are at every auction and then at the coffee shop afterwards.
