Auction

Saturday, as a part of my job, I ran an auction at the storage facility that I work at. When people don't pay for their storage for a while, I'm the luck girl who jumps through legal hoops to auction off their stuff so we can get our storage unit back. This month it was my turn out of us office girls to run this thing. We were auctioning off 4 units. Two outdoor spaces and 2 indoor. 3 of the units had cars in them. Aparently auctioning off cars is a hot and popular thing because I had probably close to 40 people show up. It was intimidating. I'm just not a huge fan of speaking in public and here I am, selling off people's personal things. Fun. Anyway, usually things don't go for very much. I've seen a car go for $25 dollars before. No joke. I told Addison to bid on the 1996 Ford Explorer but only up to $200. (who knows what sort of problems it has) The auction starts and is a bit like the movies. Only me as the auctioneer and its akward. It sounds something like this. "$50 dollars to #5. Do I hear $70? $70 to #8. Do I hear $90? $90 to # 3

Addison is #3. He bids at $100 and then at $150 and then at $200 and I was fine with that. You could tell he was having fun. I wasn't fine when he went to $300 and then $360 and then $400. When he hit $400 I gave him the dirtiest look I could muster. What the crazy!? He just smiled. Luckily someone went to $410. It's not that we don't have $400 but I wanted to spend that on our family vacation to Cailfornia. Not a car that I wasn't even sure if it ran well. Hehe.
