I bought a baler today. The auctioneer claimed it had 4000 bales through it. When I paid for it and got the monitor in the office, it had a tag tied to it that said 9600 bales. I went straight back out and confronted the auctioneer about his misrepresentation. He basically said sorry, tough luck, and if I don't want it anymore, I can refuse it and leave it there. I found the owner, which was a dealer dumping a trade-in, and asked him about it, he offered to give me $1000 off the price, and I took it.
This same auctioneer sold a Bish adapter off a Gleaner M2 to me a couple months ago. When I went to remove it, it was WELDED on! Seller was annoyed because he had to cut it off for me. He had stepped out of the truck for a minute when the Gleaner happened to be sold, otherwise he would have the the auctioneer NOT to sell the adapter separate.
I know auctioneers are supposed to talk up the item and whip the crowd into a buying frenzy, but why do they gotta be such constant liars? "Super rare item!" "hard to come by!" "only lightly used on a small farm!" "Folks, when are you going to get another chance to buy an item like this?" "Absolutely nothing wrong with it!" "Only 4000 bales!"
