Turn your speakers up all the way;

5 Lane auctions.......the cars are marked what lane and order, but you have to keep track of what car is coming thru which lane at any given time.
Notice that some lane auctioneers keep up the bidding on a car that has left the lane as they are pulling in the next car.what are we bidding on?

And just think, people used to tell me what a great job I had going to the auctions.
3 years of it @ 3 days a week was enough for me!

Default That's Right

I went to a few of these over the years and they are still confusing to me..bout the time you were ready to make a bid or decision, the cars were gone already...

Notice, at about 55 seconds, the auctioneer starts the bidding, THEN changes the light from green to yellow on "miles over". Sneaky move.

Thats why ya have to get to the auctions a few hours early to check over cars and know what you want to bid.
And no kidding if you turn your speakers to max, thats just a clue of how loud it is in there.
Now I'm still trying to figure out just why I had the heart attack and high blood pressure.
