@browneyedgurl801: A young Nebraska farmer named David and his father reclaimed an 80-acre family farm after roughly 200 other farmers who showed up to the same auction declined to bid against them, according to an account that has circulated online since at least 2018. The story holds that the land had been sold off generations earlier by a relative, and that David grew up determined to buy it back. When it finally came up for sale, he and his father worried the large turnout of farmers at the sale would drive the price beyond what they could afford. Instead, when the auctioneer opened the floor after their opening bid, no one else spoke up, even after repeated calls for further bids. The gavel eventually came down in their favor. David is quoted in multiple retellings of the story saying, “I’ve had two profoundly humbling days in my life. The first was the day my son was born. The second was that unforgettable day at the auction house.”
