"How to" Amish Auction
This is my fool proof way to approach a Amish Auction:
1. Get there early to scope out the Baked goods and all other auction items!
2. Be sure to stand by what you "cant leave there without" because these people at the auction are just as "hungry" as you...... and they are not Amish, so they have no problem elbowing you when it counts. Lol.
3. Know your auction number by heart and don't be afraid to shout it out if need be!
4. If there is a lot of an Item that you want... and it can be sold at any quantity... don't bid. In all actuality you are bidding against yourself. When someone bids on theses items, and wins, they have their choice of how many to take. Whatever they don't take you have an option to take at their price..... if no one wants them at that price they go up for re-bid and you can usually get them for a steal!!! just be patient..... but don't let them all get scooped up. know what's going on around you!!!
5. Have good Auction etiquette .... if you bought all 7 of the pies and someone asks to buy one from you.... charge them what you paid for it not what you think they should pay. Do unto others people!!!
6. Some of the Auctioneers don't really look around for more bidders.... this is a good and bad thing. Good that it cut the competition in half but bad if your not able to get as close as you can. So be polite but be Aggressive!
7. The last but most important thing......... Write down everything that you buy!!! After all the moving , bidding, maneuvering and bidding again you don't want to forget all the fruits of your labor! Its a simple thing but very important. Its easy to forget something ... even for the most organized shopper.
I went today and took my Boyfriends mom and grandma and we had a ball!! HOpe you have fun at your auction!

....and Hello to you!
Introducing my new (New to me) 2008 Ford Fusion ! She is Beautiful and rides like a dream. Loaded, Leather with <18,000 miles . Sold my Jeep on Faith and once again I was taught the lesson that walking of Faith is difficult but the rewards of faithfulness far exceed my expectations.
Good-Bye old friend
We sure have had some Awesome rides together;
Now it's time to bring Joy to another.
I wake up and feel a piece of me has died;
but I will always remember our final ride. Thru AZ heat, across country to Ohio's notorious snow.......the hardest day has been when I had to watch u go.
Good bye old friend.
