I check out that site occasionally...It is pretty cute..A lot of those guys think they know more than they actually do though..Entertaining on a boring day...jeff

I will probably go over and check out the Salem, VA fair this week. Jack Nyberg always plays this large fair with his Jam Auction. If you are not aware, he is probably the best in the business.

A former post mentioned the DVD. You can order it from Don Driver. It is almost 2-hours long. It begins with Jack building his tip by offering to change 10-$1.00 bills into all $10.00 bills, and then Jack qualifies his marks with a Ginzu knife and then finally offers the qualified buyers the opportunity to pass up as much as $350. for some of the larger merchandise. I also have this video and it is well worth the money.

Finally, someone mentioned John Bradshaw. He was a good friend of mine, but I’m sad to report that John passed away back in the Fall of 2008.
