       I have attended many U.S.Government auctions ( I bought cars for
all my children at those auctions).  However, I never heard of someone
striking it rich there.  
       I did hear many government employees and private bidders making
jokes about "get rich quick seminars."  According to them, the only people
who make money are those who charge money for their seminars.
       Now I am really confused.  Does anyone really get rich at these sales?
Have I just been going to the wrong sales?  Do the seminars really pave
the way to wealth?
       Could someone tell us without charging us money?

Best regards,
George
