In Reply to: speaking of the auction crowd....... posted by glennster on February 02, 2016 at 12:35:00:

Back in 2002 I sold my step grandpa's equipment. Most of it had not been used in decades other than the two tractors.

I got along fine lining equipment up till the sale bill came out. I live 65 miles from where the auction was to be held and was not there 24-7. Locked the tractors up when I left at night. One morning when I drove into the yard. There was a guy wanting to see the 3020. He was MAD because I wasn't there he could not wait on me. I unlocked the barn to let him look at the 3020. He comes back out telling me what a piece of junk it was. And telling me how much work it needed. I knew it was all a bunch of crap. I turned and walked away from him. After he left I took the 3020 to move more equipment as grandpa had machinery parked everywhere.

I drove back into the yard. I find a guy jacking up the almost new Rino mower with a hi lift jack because he needs to see the knives. One guy trying to start the Ford truck that had not run in ten years. He is mad because he wasted a trip to see a truck that won't run. I told him I didn't invite him. There are two more guys wanting to see and drive the 3020. They act like it is there right to come and test drive every tractor on the auction!

I had steel fence posts layed out in piles of ten. One guy kept walking around the barn and then coming back to look at and count the fence posts. After he left I noticed two piles of posts looked larger. Two piles somehow now had 18 posts!

I got even with some of them. Grandpa had a Gleaner F gas combine.It was full of old rotten gas. I put the gas in several 5gal cans. I put the cans where they would be seen. The next day all the cans were gone!

I sure got an education on auction crowds!
