It was a busy weekend for resale

The weekend was a busy one for yard salers. In spite of the intense temperatures, people sat out with their goods and others stopped to shop. Top pick of the weekend was Colchester’s 27th annual Tag Sale on the Green, which was held on Sunday. It was a huge success.

In news up north, Allen’s Auction Hall is trying something new. Over the weekend, owner Allen Bourdia and his wife had tables set up inside and out -- along with a few dealers -- at the auction hall on Route 101 in Dayville. People were stopping. Added to that, there was a giant tag sale set up directly across the street at a private home, and another just a few houses down the street. Allen said he plans to continue the indoor/outdoor flea market on weekends throughout the summer months.

Last week, word was out among auction-goers that Allen’s auctions were ending and that a flea market would take place instead. However the Auction-Zip Web site does list weekend general merchandise auctions for this Saturday and Sunday at 5 pm on their online calendar.
