Annoucements

     The New Year is always supposed to bring change. Well, this blog will be no stranger to that theme. I have decided to make a few changes.

     First off, I will no longer be writing a 'this is what we bought, lets see what it sells for' type of post. From here on out, it will be more like my last article Six Million Dollar Monday where I tell you what I bought and what I think it will sell for, kind of like American Pickers, or, the item may have already sold. I will tell you the history behind the item and provide a link so you can see what it sold for. Why am I doing this? Well, the update articles are boring, and really, based on views, no one cares about them. The positive feedback that I have received has been all about the first post, never the follow up. I will always provide a link to my eBay store though so you can see for yourself how I am doing.

     Second, without writing a single post, I am scrapping the Auction Experiment. This was going to be an ongoing experiment throughout the year where I initially would spend $10 and see where I would end up by Decemeber 31st. The reasoning behind this was quite simple actually. This whole idea would compete with myself. Did I buy enough for the experiment? Did I buy this for me? And by March, say I was at $200, I wouldn't even buy that much on a Monday Night. So, instead of this I decided to keep a running tally. At the end of each post, I will have this for the items bought in 2013 only. Money Invested: $X. Money Received: $Y. This will kind of be the same idea so I hope you aren't dissapointed.

     That is actually it for the changes. But since I have been wanting to do this for a while and never really had a good place to do it, here I go. Meet your Harris Brothers Auctioneers!

     This is where 99.9% of all auctions I attend take place so why not put a face to the auctioneer. This way from here on out I can call them by name instead of 'the auctioneer.'

    
  This is Don, owner of the Harris Brothers Auction House. A bunch of my purchases come from Don's row on Monday Night as he usually has the best 'stuff.'

     This is Gary. His specialty is Glass, Pottery, and Postcards. Very entertaining to watch!

     This is Brent, or Redbeard. He is a really good auctioneer and he does his absolute best for his consigners. He also operates his own collectible shop in Flushing, Michigan.

     There, now you can picture faces from here on out and I can type Don, Brent, or Gary instead of the auctioneer. I hope everyone that has been reading likes my plans and the changes I am making. Until next time, Keep Your Eyes Open.
