oh auctions do attract sidewalk superintendents that are not even registered to bid. better than going to a bar, I guess.
I was there to try to buy back a car I had sold to Lloyd but I would have needed the German Army to get me close to the auctioneer. Auctioneers should ask non-bidders to clear a path.
