I’ve been to a few auctions, and witnessed people buying crates of junk...always wondered if an estate auction was in their family’s future.

No when I used to auction when I was in my late teens and twenties and trying to put together our house, I would buy the Dollar and 50 cent boxes, pull out the one thing and toss the rest to the dump
Well I’ve been going to the wrong auctions. The typical attendee at local auctions is in their mid-fifties, usually accompanied by a more sane spouse who just shakes their head and packs up the loot.
