WOW !!
Wish I lived closer, but too far to travel from Virginia...
Anyone in the area should definitely try to go...
Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

If it was close I would go to it but from what's pictured, there sure isn't 3 days worth auctioneering. They must go real slow down there.

I would definitely go to that if it was close enough. Probably wouldn't win anything, but it would sure be fun. At auctions around here, LV and LN tools generally bring as much or more as full retail.
Currently a smarta$$ but hoping to one day graduate to wisea$$

It's not an auction. It's an estate sale. And since they've featured the premium items in photos, one would guess prices will be 80% ish of retail. Plus tax and CC fee

Yeah, also there are like 6 or 7 pictures of the same chisel cabinet. There are some decent things in there, but whether any bargains are to be had is a different question. As noted above, as an estate sale - it's going to be a fixed price with possible reductions on day 2/3 and perhaps a lot price for what remains at the end.
I hope someone gets some good deals as that's what i would wish happens to my shop when I go, but it's hard to say whether that will happen.
A good heads up for any within an hour or so though!
