You get your bidding tag only after you register and put down your $500 bucks. And it might behoove the bidders to know that the working crew for the auction is in high-gear motion to get their stuffed packed up and out of there before the crowd can get too crazy with trying to get their RV's out of there. I guess they don't want to be present for any of the problems that might come with winning bidders trying to vacate the lot. That part was shocking to me as well, I thought they'd provide some sort of employees to continue walking around...no sir...they feel as if the job is done and they are GONE.<br /><br />Lara - Deputy Dave and I love to go to the RV shows, especially so we can learn about the latest changes in RV construction and layout. We also get an update lesson in name-brands and their pricing. But, going to an auction is definitely the way we'll be buying our future RV's.<br /><br />Linda - There were so many good deals at the auction yard, but you've got to be prepared for everything. I was shocked to find those people with their tanks stolen, I felt so bad for them and so fortunate at the same time that nothing was stolen on ours. You can bet that once they told us they had something stolen, we were RUNNING around our RV to check it out for anything that had suddenly went missing. The RV next to those people had been pulled away and we wondered if it had been those people. Who knows. Not a case where there's anything to be done about it. But, we now know to watch out.www.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-57444309755855180242012-02-29T17:21:42.544-08:002012-02-29T17:21:42.544-08:00You lucked out for sure.

Wouldn't do it.<br />I don't like being around people that steal stuff like that.<br /><br />And good luck with the house sale!LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-14726297958714187412012-02-29T16:16:43.021-08:002012-02-29T16:16:43.021-08:00I have really only looked at RVs at some shows.

I hope you find a very nice one with a deal again. I have at times considered it might be a good idea for my 5 acre property.
