Colloquial/idiomatic, but yes. Maurer Auctions in Pennsylvania (why it is easy for Bill Lane to keep track of them) has quite a few train auctions during a typical year--mostly tinplate/toys but a fair amount of O scale, including some really major collections. A friend from New Jersey often attends (now that he is retired) and occasionally finds items worth bidding on. Without being able to inspect the lots (bad enough on ebay), I hesitate to bid, particularly since there is a substantial buyer's premium (and the PA sales tax, apparently even if the item is shipped out of state).
