Auction Hick One Zero Six

Hick went crazy at the auction a couple weeks ago. He bought a whole lot. And by that, I don't just mean many items. He bought the whole kit 'n' caboodle of one seller. It was on Saturday, January 6. Just in case anybody is trying to figure out the title. Which is probably unfair to blog buddy River, since I'm pretty sure they don't put the month first in the date.

I think I know where my Christmas hat came from! He'd bought a bunch of hats before this auction, singularly, and showed me some for the grandkids. I suppose these are ones that didn't sell alone. He also says some of those packages contain FISHING GLOVES! Never heard of such a thing. Maybe they're for cold climates. Or for catfish "noodlers" to wear!

On top are two chairs, I think he said. That fold up in a case, like for hiking. I've zoomed in, but don't remember everything Hick was babbling about. There are three pairs of new shoes here, on the bottom shelf. Tennies and two pair of  "flippers," as he calls them, which are what we used to call "thongs," the weird kind back then that didn't go between your toes, but are called "slides" these days, and not considered weird. Plenty of Gain laundry detergent there, and Snuggle fabric softener sheets, and Lysol toilet cleaner. Hick's going to be clean, and well-shod, I guess, with no static cling.

He's got shoes for kicking butt, and notebooks for taking names! And a couple of canes to balance himself in case he hurts his butt-leg area again, like he did that one time at the auction.

With plenty of appliances to make give him more time for doing both. I sure he wants to keep that hot dog spiraler thing for himself! That stuff on the right is just some of his nails and screws. he took these pictures after he unloaded his treasures in the BARn.

Hick also saw these frames last week at a local church store, but Mabel is not interested. These are wood. They are marked $30, so Hick said to send Mabel a picture first, because he thought that was a little high. Sometimes he'll go ahead and buy stuff anyway, if he thinks he can make a profit re-selling them at his Storage Unit Store. This time, he did not think they would sell for that.

Hick said these frames have been sitting there for months, and he never sees anybody looking at them. Then he want back there the next day, when I heard from Mabel, and said there was a lady picking them up and asking about them. She put them down, though, and said to the person running the place, "Don't you think $30 is a little high?"

Anyhoo...Hick bought all that stuff in the first four pictures for $75. He thinks he can get double that when he starts selling out of his Storage Unit Store again, when the weather warms up. Or he might take them to a different auction and sell them.

It keeps him off the street. But more importantly, it keeps him out of the house.
