My Auction Number!

Since the first auction was so successful, I decided to give it another shot.  This time, being a Saturday morning auction, there were many more people, but surprisingly, the items didn’t sell for too much more – I was pleasantly surprised. I also went to this auction solo, with a budget, and strict buying terms. Sad face.

Item #1 – I was pretty stoked about this auction. I even called Noel immediately after this purchase.

Item #2 – Similar to the first auction, once again, they were liquidating pads and tampons. This time I grabbed 3 more lots – one of tampons, and two of pads.
