Just came from the Lamb and Webster spring auction in Springville NY. and I noticed that there didnt seem to be any real "scrap" worthy items up for auction.With the price of scrap steel up maybe it pays more to scrap it than try to make some money at auction Has anyone else noticed this at any recent auction they have gone to? bill m.

I was wondering what the White 445 disc chisel brought.

There is a [twice a year] consignment sale 25 miles from me.
At one time I'd buy a good trailerload of cheap junk iron items on Sat. then go back first of week,get loaded and turn a good profit @ scrapyard,but there isn't the "Junkyard Items" at that sale anymore.
Used to buy oddball machines,etc. at scrap prices to get electric motors off too,but don't see that much no more.

I went there for the garden tractors,Didnt see a what most of the equipment went for.did see a few big round balers go in the $4,000 to $5,000 range.There seemed to be money out there being spent.Saw a cub cadet gt3200 (only a few years old with less than 200 hours)with 60" mower deck and set up for a snowblower sell for $1600.Thats 1/3 the cost of new. I did get the snowblower that fit that tractor for $200.(5 hours of waiting in temps that started at 5°) the blower was the absolute last not a tractor item sold.Bill M.

Hey Bill,
