    Must be nice. DFW Texas area, you can't touch any reasonable sized auction lots for less than 2x scrap value. I'd think that eventually the overbidders would come to realize that they're losing money & go do something else, but it seems there's a never ending stream of suckers willing to pay $15-$20 or more per tower. I just don't #%$@!*% get it.

    And I should say she wants an embroidery machine... she picked one out that's over $1,000. I'll need a whale to pay for that! Oh well, if she's happy then I can be happy
