Well, usually I am pretty good at guessing what something will bring at the auction. But, I sometimes fail horribly. I opened bidding at $2000 on it, and thought I had at about $2800. No, no I didn't. It finally sold at around twice that much! Man, I need to get my 2001 Prius with 155k KMs running and put it through the auction, prices on 4 cylinder, efficient cars were through the roof today! A bare bones, 2001 Saturn SC1 coupe, no A/C, no nothing with 146k KMs (90k miles) that would have sold for $500 a month ago brought almost three times that much. Gas prices are rising here, and the rumor is that this summer will be more brutal than usual for fuel costs, so I better make hay while the sun shines!
