Your local newspaper is the best source for finding out when and where
auctions are held in your area. Remember, anyone can attend, auctions are free
and open to the public. In fact, it's usually helpful to attend a few to get the
feel of it. You will be more relaxed when the big day arrives.
As with anything else, practice makes perfect. The more auctions you attend,
the better you will become at it. Good Luck!
