Ten, fifteen, twenty people or more who have waited a long time. Emotions will vary but count on plenty of it. Some excited, antsy, some maybe pi$$ed off and all determined to not go home empty handed. At that point you may as well have stayed home, put a bid in on ebay and done something else with your time. </p><p> The bad part is, despite over-inflated prices, the auctioneer often takes an absurd chunk of the sale.
