Back to TopCommentsE-mailPrint

You (if you are this week’s winner) and five friends can pay a visit to the fictional Ed’s Auction House, where real actors auction off real stuff for play money.

It’s all part of the audience interactive play “Going…Going…Gone” (a show I co-created) offered every first Sunday of the month at the Indy Fringe Building. More info on the show here. 

To win, just enter here and tell about something interesting you’ve acquired at an auction, garage sale, thrift store or flea market.

I’ll pick one winner at random.

    I love auctions, estate sales, flea markets, vintage and thrift shopping. The thrill of the hunt to date has been finding a Herman Wakefield dining room set for only $100 at the Queen City antique shows several years ago that late was apprasied at almost $1200. Not a bad investment...

  • Bad Summer Purchase

    I begged my Mom to buy me a pair of skis from a garage sale when I was 6 and I couldn't wait to try them. The problem was it was in the summer. They didn't last long. I rubbed the bottom of them with Crisco and tried skiing down the driveway.

    At a silent auction unfortunately held on the night of an ice storm with small numbers in attendance, I won dinner for four at a local pundit's home for $60.00. A bargain!

    My sister does a lot of voluntering for Indy Ferral and when they spade or neuter a cat, they also, clip it's LEFT ear. I found a cat statue with its' LEFT ear chipped-off. She loved it.

    In 1975, one of the guests at the second comic book show ever held in Indianapolis was Dave Cockrum ( artist for the New X-Men). They had an auction of original art from Giant Size X-Men #1( which was the issue that was the start of the now popular version of the X-Men). I bought one of those pages for $25 and still have it. It"s worth in now easily in five figures.

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

  4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
