Auction Tomorrow, Collectible Advertising Ashtrays


**********************************
Okay got the truck loaded for the auction tomorrow, went to my storage unit and picked up a few plastic crates of stuff, came back home and rounded up whatever I had around here and pretty much filled the van. Hope I loaded some stuff that they want. Can't tell nowadays what they might buy. Maybe some goodies will show that I can buy also. Long day tomorrow get to the auction hall about 7am and get home about midnight. Ah, working for yourself is so much fun and games. But punching a clock just ain't my thing.

With this economy it's going to be a little touch and go in this business of selling stuff nobody really needs. But the collectible business usually just drifts along when things tighten up, maybe collectors buy just to perk themselves up and some of the smarter ones buy while the market is down a bit for future sales. I believe the cycle will just go around, but how long it's going to be I don't know. But I'll be buying when the price looks right, has worked all these years for me, so I'll just keep on truckin'.
