Above is the link to an auction with rare and unique items from a collection of over 30 years. Carter van lines was a moving company located here in Indiana and the owner had a passion for old toys and antique items from the 50's. He even built a antique looking museum to house all of his possessions. Some coke stuff and even an antique full size ice cream shop sits inside. Check it out. I plan on going and they are expecting people all over the world to show up.

My guess is multiple queues - there will be several auctions running

I see they are auctioning off a talking tree - could it be a "ticket oak"? :tounge:
I could use one of them!
Looks like a great auction, but not my cup-o-tea. Would have liked to visit the museum though...

It was a joke Jim.
A TV commercial for a ticket scalper called StubHub

Now that would be one amazing auction to be at.  Fantastic collection of great stuff.  If they have multiple rings going at once I don't know how you keep from running back and forth between them trying not to miss something good.  If anyone goes, post lots of pics!
