Looks like we're definately in the dog days of summer a little early this year. If you're attending any outdoor auctions right now, you're showing that you're a real hard-core auction fanatic. Don't know about most of you out there, but at HOA we think it's the BEST time of the year. Nothing wrong with a little heat, in a few months we'll be wishing for 10 or 20 of the extra degrees we have right now.

The bidding activity at auctions seems about as hot as the temperatures, judging from what we've seen going on the past few weeks at auctions. There's no doubt that there are fewer auctions taking place than just a few years ago, but at the auctions that ARE taking place, there are still some rare, high quality items available, and there are still some deals to be had. Don't let the heat hold you back, get out there and find whatever it is you're looking for. The leaves will be falling before you know it.

We welcome your comments, and drop us a line if you've made a special find, come across a great deal, or just had a fun experience at an auction recently. We'll pass it along. We're all about showing people the fun of attending and participating in auctions.They're truly a unique way to spend what seems to be a shrinking amount of our available play time these days.....
