Intimidated at the Idea of Bidding at Auctions? Do This:

[Amy Raye Rogers]

One way that we have practiced refining our approach to bidding at auctions is by going to estate sales.  We are collectors of all things mid century modern, and bidding on household items is a lot less daunting than competing with the sharks for houses!  In a more low key environment, you can pick up on the habits of other bidders and learn from them.  You can also discover your own emotional and psychological strengths and weaknesses.  Bidding over dust pans and light bulbs is a great way to stress inoculate yourself before stepping into the fray for SFRS and multis!!  Most of all, it's fun!
