I'll be there both days!
The last couple years the auction has been a little disappointing... They advertise so well now that many people show up, which raises the prices so high that there are rarely any deals to be had. This is of course great for funding the GSBF, but less great for fun bidding. The sale the day after has also become a complete madhouse! There are always a few people with large shopping carts at the front door who rush in first, put everything worth-while in their carts, and sift through it later. In the past I have always found great pots, trees, and tools during both days, but recently it has been much less common.
