AS a past used tractor and equipment dealer I probably bought and sold more items at auction then many people will ever see in their life. As such yes I learned the tricks of the trade and the real deal and what was going on and who owned it (often was bidding on it to raise the price) and who was running up the bid etc. IN MY DAY YOU HAD TO LEARN THAT TO SURVIVE. I learned how and when to bid and to read the crowd and figure out the owner or his buddy and the auctioneers tricks which made me a successful dealer in my day. The guys who were talkin "its a piece of crap stay away from it" would hide in the back and try to buy it and they actually fooled some of the rookies lol I could write a book on the tricks and techniques but it was a fun and profitable business which I enjoyed. Its a total different world and perspective from those who occasionaly buy at auctions versus those of us who did it for a living buying and selling hundreds of items.
