Auctions Are Fun

To some, the very whisper of an auction, a bargain in a Hitchcock chair, an antique mirror, or table, or an old house reputedly full of tangible souvenirs of the past, are like the call of adventure to the explorer, the spot where the striped bass swarm to the surf caster, or the discovery of gold.

For those beset with the antique and auction “bug,” Cape Cod is a veritable treasure chest. The excitement and sociability of an auction, with its fast and furious bidding, and the hopes of a treasure for one’s efforts, may be enjoyed many times during the summer on Cape Cod. Bidding at an auction is as much a sport as fishing, luck and chance may bring forth a priceless object.
