Re stolen money sale

Well-known Member

Went to the sale I mentioned yesterday. www.walnutgroveauction.com has pics, etc, or I guess they still do now that the sale is over.

The recession is over! I never saw so many large 4wd pickups before that the bidders were driving. The prices were insane, hopefully some of the scam's victims will get a little better return of their money.

Prices:

MF240 not running $2750
12 foot corral panels that I had priced at $62 went for $75.
Several galvanized gates, 16 feet long, went from $95 to $170.
Bush Hog 3ph posthole digger. looked ok, went for $350.
6 foot model 286 Bush Hog cutter, almost new condition, $2200. I have one like it bought 3-4 years ago for $1600?
A squeeze chute and headgate, don't know the name, looked unused, $2200.
A lighter built chute and headgate with 2 panels brought $1100.
2004 F250 crew cab diesel, 188,000 miles, $8000.

Hmmmm..... I went to an auction the other day and thought just the opposite. Let's see if I can recall a few prices

I picked up:

3 pt scoop for $25
12 pieces of 1-1/4inch angle iron 20ft long for $65
Craftsman air compressor for $60
24 ft grade 8 logging chain for $39

Some of the other bargains I couldn't get:

2-horse trailer $625
2006 Ford Powerstroke $5000
1996 F-150 with 351 motor $1700
And a New Holland tractor (I forget the model number) with FEL that the local dealer apraised at 12 grand went for $7600.

Too often, folks see a lot and have to have it. They may plan to spend x dollars on it. But then they get outbid. Well, the next bid is only a few bucks more and before they know it, they've done spent more for the lot then they would have at Orcheln's for a new one. The key to getting the good deals is knowing when to stop.
 

John,

Didn't see seed cleaners sell. Don't know if the auction site has list of things sold and prices or not.

DanT's comment about knowing when to quit is very accurate.
