'Mexicans ' is not a race.

I never meant to imply they were. I know they are a nationality. I meant someone may think I was singling them out and being derogatory. Not so. I know that the Mexicans in Florida by and large are a very hard working industrious group of people. They are very opportunistic when it comes to making money to care for their families and seem willing to get dirty doing difficult jobs. I have seen them out collecting palmetto berries in the intense heat for hours gathering giant sacks to sell to brokers. My company employed hundreds over the years for construction labor and many learned a skilled trade and are paid quite well.
If the state put a meaningful bounty on these destructive snakes the Mexicans would have no problem braving the swamps of the Everglades to hunt them down, but there is no reason to hunt them for little reward. The stupid snake roundups they have don't put a dent in the pythons numbers and are mostly for show.

Mornin all.

The high winds yesterday wound down during the night.
With the exception of a woodpecker's cussing while working a feeder it is a very quiet morning..
A mourning dove is perched on the rail near. Not the best place if a hawk comes back through the area.
Temp in mid teens F..

So you're responsible for this windchill, 4-6" of snow.
Would there be a chance that you do returns?
Free shipping and by air.
Need to go do an auction pick up.
But need to plow first.

The auction was a weird thing.
I paid, then get notice that another bidder could pick up. Was I interested as I was the second bidder.
Then another 2 lots.
Not a lot of money but did person bid everything up to help the estate then pull their credit card.
I asked if any of my other buys were bid up by this buyer?
I smell a dirty here, and it might be a case of crap hitting the fan.

Ya I like the you get one bid only as seller where I bid at. (It's intended as a buy back more than an attempt to boost sale price.)
The site also shows all bid history on an item/lot if you bid. Both time and amounts and bidder.

No returns on snow.
I should plow again too. Not saying I will.
Looks like nearly breaking freezing temps coming up early in the week. I don't want to jinx it by stating it will actually break freezing.
Long term forecast guestimates dart tossing hit on average or warmer temps.
I'll keep the plow on.

I got a weekend response that they'll forward my concerns onto the management of the auction site.
Just want transparency and an accountability to what happened.
Was it a drunk or a relative boosting the return for a higher return?

Crazy.
I'd be wary.
Dealing on the side is a no no. Besides documenting it.
But if they're bidding stuff up and bailing.... ban them from the site.

Well the guy claimed his CC was stolen
Racked up a $2000+ tab.
Ran up everyone's bids.
Real mess.
But that's OK, 1 of the lots got stolen before I got there even.
I bought a canteen of community silver plate for $140 all in
Half was Rodgers triple plate/AA.
The part was 642 grams of sterling mixed in the box.

So all that for $140 and the knife alone is worth $850 or at least hundreds.
Good score. What's the estimate on the whole lot?
