I've bought some nice horses at the auction.  I still have one that is 23 years old,  I got her when she was 5.  I have only had one horse that didn't work out, he was really nice but had navicular.  I haven't been to an auction in years,  but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I were horse shopping for a bargain.
