Hick went to an auction Monday night. He sent me a text right after it started:
"Just won $38 on the 50/50 drawing."
"Good for you."
Hick can't win on lottery tickets, but he does fairly well on getting bargains and free items at auctions and online. Of course his $38 didn't last long. Hick spent his winnings at the auction.
"I got a wooden case with a glass front. I can use it to display my merchandise. I think it cost me $9. I also got a wooden milk crate that held half-gallon milk bottles. And some Mickey Mouse toys. And aluminum drinking glasses. And two Christmas tree ornaments. One is an Olds Toronado that's a model four years older than mine. The other is a Ford pickup."
There was one more item, but I can't remember what it was. Seems like Hick bought a lot for his $38. As he said, "I didn't even have to spend my own money, since I won the drawing."

The one I forgot was a CEILING FAN, new in the box, for $5. Don't know if Hick will sell it, or save it for a flip house fixture.

It sounds like Hick got some neat stuff:) I love it!
ReplyDeleteHick loves an auction. You never know what you'll find. At least he didn't try to bring home a box marked "MEAT" this time. I dodged that bullet a few years ago, when Hick sent a text asking if I wanted it.
DeleteHe got some really good deals for his money. I love ceiling fans and think they should be included in all house builds. Cleaning them is the only problem I can think of, but cleaners can be hired a couple of times a year.
ReplyDeleteYes, Hick loves a bargain. You can get a fluffy duster thingy with a long handle to clean ceiling fans. For a normal ceiling, of course. Not for those vaulted ceilings that might be 30 feet high.
DeleteFascinating, this Missouri commerce.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure there are auctions in Arizona. It's not like the concept was invented yesterday!
