Default The days of "a great deal" appear gone forever

I agree. I hit the auction and estate circuit perhaps fishing for the "find" that would be named after me. When I go to an auction now, the dreaded four letter word is uttered by every vendor and buyer. "E--y".

Everyone is somehow connected to the Internet and a sixty-five year old farmer suddenly knew what a hammered lot of 1954 N.Y Journal American's that I tried to steal with my low absentee bid was worth and sold for about what it should. Ten years ago, this would have never happened and something tells me that they probably found their way on eBay. Ten years ago I would walk away with 3-4 good yearly purchases, now...today...nada.
