Have to agree with you about the amount of rubbish you have to wade through at an auction and the number of resellers you see at auctions. A lot of the buyers I see at the local auction house I also see selling the stuff at the carboot the week after. Sometimes I do wonder why I bother with auctions and carboots, I think it must be some sort of atavistic hunting memory, stalking my prey through the mounds of poo. Finding that one diamond in the rough every so often seems to make all those cold Sunday mornings worthwhile, its a similar feeling to taking that perfect picture after waiting for the right moment. I've been asked why don't I look on ebay but the simple answer is that seems boring. Also, charity shops and carboots are a good excuse to go out for a long walk.
