[AT] Bridgeport Nebraska auction

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

My understanding is that Kruse bought the entire inventory from the widow
and they now own it.  Technically it now isn't an estate sale and all the
money goes to Kruse.  The widow lost out big time because you know she
didn't get near what that stuff would have sold for at a true auction.  I
didn't like the way Kruse ran their auctions before with the entry fees and
buyers premium, but I could deal with that.  Now I have no respect at all
for Kruse and think they are a bunch of crooks.  I had been planning on
going to the auction in June, but will not now.

===================================================



	The little Farmer's Hotline magazine came yesterday and it has a
full page 
ad (page 16) in it for that auction...


	I wouldn't be going to this one anyway but as I stated a long time
ago I 
will continue to boycott any auction with a buyers premium or an admission 
charge, period... It is their privilege to be greedy and charge it. It is 
my privilege to stay the hell away...
