Ron the young(er) folks in the video who seemed to be speaking for the 
family had a Florida address.
I guess they didn't appreciate what they had.

I had not heard of this auction.  I was planing to buy some plow shares
and bolts from Balsters.  I guess I am too late.

Had I inherited this business, there is no way I would have auctioned it
off like that.  I would have just kept in business.  That great big pile
of dough will soon be gone with no way to gain it back.  Just like
selling off the family farm.

Probably why I am poor.  Faulty thinking.
