I know we have all heard that saying and to be honest with you, I am one of those that scans the stuff put out on the curb to see if there is anything good.

If you are a sentimental type of person, you may just really enjoy looking at the Betthauser's Auction website - http://betthausers.com/.  Each week, there is a new auction and pictures to scan through.  The real experience is actually going to the auction.  You buy your bidding number for $1.00's.  For some reason, they need to have your I.D. (shrugs shoulders).  Don't know why.

The auctioneer opens up the bidding for each item.  It is hard to really understand at first, but after awhile, you get the hang of it.  It is fun to bid - way better than ebay and a lot faster!

May you give an auction a try - there are plenty here in Milwaukee or at least enjoy paging through their website.  I sure do!
